One thing is certain, all WILL be revealed. If there is any dirt out there hillary’s minions will out it, always leaking thru some non-hillary source. It ain't over.

Why wouldn’t Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama want to release his birth certificate?

[Brilliant]

Maybe it doesn’t exist, which might be problematic since we are then asked to take him at his word that he was born in Hawaii.

[Glenn]

I give him a pass on this deal. It’s private.

I learned at age 30 that my legal mother was not my biological mother when I needed my birth certificate to get a passport.

What his parents did should cast no shadow on the man. He couldn’t choose them.

[patriot08]

His birth certificate probably says, Barack Mohammed Hussein Obama, Muslim. That’s why he won’t release it.

Hilary’s Hail Mary!

I’m guessing that both the RNC and the DNC have checked out his eligibility thoroughly, and if there was a problem, he wouldn’t have gotten this far.

“..“When Barry Became Barack” stories —”

What difference does that make? We have opened the floodgates for the Baracks and supplied them with free footwashing basins, while we fight them overseas. Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

[BertWheeler]

The questions about Barack Obama just keep coming. This guy is dirty. He’s also not just a lefty but an America hater. Was that gaffe regarding 57 states a mistake? Isn’t 57 the number of recognized Islamic states in the world?

Don’t vote for this guy!

FREEPER BUYS OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN E-BAY AUCTION!

[Paleo Conservative]

Please comment on this thread. I think someone is misreading what the law says.

[McGruff]

Bet these guys didn't think the **** would hit the fan so fast. Barack Obama sets up internet 'war room' to fight slurs. Let the games begin. :^)

[BeckB]

It would be funny if he wasn’t really a U.S citizen

[PghBaldy]

This says it's 14 years old, not 16 years old, for the foreigner...1952 The Immigration and Nationality Act of June 27, 1952, 66 Stat. 163, 235, 8 U.S. Code Section 1401 (b). (Section 301 of the Act). "Section 301. (a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth: "(1) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof; "(7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States, who prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years. (b) Any person who is a national and citizen of the United States at birth under paragraph (7) of subsection (a), shall lose his nationality and citizenship unless he shall come to the United States prior to attaining the age of twenty-three years and shall immediately following any such coming be continuously physically present in the United State(s) for at least five years: Provided, That such physical presence follows the attainment of the age of fourteen years and precedes the age of twenty-eight years. (c) Subsection (b) shall apply to a person born abroad subsequent to May 24, 1934: Provided, however, That nothing contained in this subsection shall be construed to alter or affect the citizenship of any person born abroad subsequent to May 24, 1934, who, prior to the effective date of this Act, has taken up a residence in the United States before attaining the age of sixteen years, and thereafter, whether before or after the effective date of this Act, complies or shall comply with the residence requirements for retention of citizenship specified in subsections (g) and (h) of section 201 of the Nationality Act of 1940, as amended." http://www.aca.ch/hisuscit.htm

If he can’t prove his citizenship he’s not eligible.

[AmericaUnited]

What's listed on 59-60-61 vintage Hawaiian birth certificates?

[malia]

Barack Hussein Obama, born in Hawaii, mother was a US citizen, her father served in WWII

John McCain was born out of the country, Panama Canal Zone, to American born parents, while his father was serving his country. McCain’s grandfather and father were Admirals in the United States Navy

Those are fact. There are many interesting ‘stories’ about the Obama family, like...

Barack’s father, on a scholarship, a JFK program 1961, gaving him chance to leave Kenya and attend U of HI.
Married Barack’s mother and had a (unknown) wife and son in Kenya.
Barack’s father also graduated from Harvard before returning to Kenya.
Barack spent a few years in Indonesia before returning, 10 years old, to HI and graduated from a college prep school, Punahou. Then on to Columbia U.

[Gumdrop]

Still waiting to see that “baptismal certificate”.

[snowsislander]

Interesting.

From looking around the web, it does appear that the state of Hawaii provides a mechanism to verify information about a birth certificate without actually receiving a copy of the certificate:

Letters of Verification

Letters of verification may be issued in lieu of certified copies (HRS §338-14.3). This document verifies the existence of a birth/death/marriage/divorce certificate on file with the Department of Health and any other information that the applicant provides to be verified relating to the vital event. (For example, that a certain named individual was born on a certain date at a certain place.) The verification process will not, however, disclose information about the vital event contained within the certificate that is unknown to and not provided by the applicant in the request.

Letters of verification are requested in similar fashion and using the same request forms as for certified copies.

The fee for a letter of verification is $5 per letter.

(http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/vital_records.html)

I would think that calling the Vital Records Office would be enough to get an explanation of how to write for verification that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., was born in the state of Hawaii on August 4th, 1961, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., and Ann Dunham. (The web page says "Letters of verification are requested in similar fashion and using the same request forms as for certified copies", but I didn't see anywhere on the provided PDFs to request verification rather than a certified copy, so I think that it might take a telephone call to ensure that the verification request is being done correctly.)

The end product would hopefully be that one gets a "yes" or "no" answer to the question from the Vital Records department.
