"Another local resident asked Shelby if there was any truth to a rumor that appeared during the presidential campaign concerning Obama’s U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof.
“Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven’t seen any birth certificate,” Shelby said. “You have to be born in America to be president.”

Kenyan Prince .........................Where were you born and can you prove it?
Yeesh, lead, follow, or get out of the way
Someone needs to write an email to Patrick McCreless that wrote this piece and challenge what he is advancing here:
“According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked health department records during the campaign and determined there was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.
The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine document. In addition, Factcheck.org reproduced an announcement of Obama’s birth, including his parents’ address in Honolulu, that was published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 13, 1961.”
Hawaii NEVER said Obama was born there....how DARE these media jerks play so fast and loose with the truth...this guy goes so far as to editorialize they said there is NO DOUBT Obama was born there. How irresponsible.
What Hawaii actually said:
>>On October 31, 2008, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii Department of Health, released a statement verifying that Barack Obama’s birth certificate was on file in their records. However, despite what you might have heard, she did not verify that he was born in Hawaii. And, she did not verify that the certificate on file in Hawaii matches the “COLB” pictured on Obama’s site and at FactCheck. <<
Additionally the Factcheck image—including the so-called seal is FORGED using 2007 graphic elements.
My Mac won’t bring up the McCreless’ email addy, someone please challenge this dishonesty.
Some reference:
From Hawaii’s official Department of Health, Vital Records webpage:
A. “Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country” (applies to adopted children).
B. A parent may register an in-state birth in lieu of certification by a hospital of birth under HRS 338-5.
C. Hawaiian law expressly provides for registration of out-of-state births under HRS 338-17.8. A foreign birth presumably would have been recorded by the American consular of the country of birth, and presumably that would be reflected on the Hawaiian birth certificate.
D. Hawaiian law, however, expressly acknowledges that its system is subject to error. See, for example, HRS 338-17.
E. Hawaiian law expressly provides for verification in lieu of certified copy of a birth certificate under HRS 338-14.3.
YES...that’s what I thought...and I agree with you...paternity MIGHT be the issue, however, spending what people have said has been spent (100’s of thousands of dollars) to prevent revelation of paternity seems odd. Paternity these days doesn’t seem THAT big a deal....and could be “storied”...i.e. he could have a story around it that people believe.
Who you be callin’ a acehole? Shelby or Obummer?
>>>You have to be born in America to be president.
I wonder if he voted for McCain who was porn on Panamanian soil?
>>>You have to be born in America to be president.

YEAH, I know....that’s why I posted that part...
Forget about where he was born for just a minute.
What about forging a federal document?
The Tokyo Rose brigades never tire.
I also have no doubt that Freepers would invalidate it within 12 hours of its appearance online.
Lol...tain’t Shelby (can I say that here?)
Seems to me that was vetted through Congress, can't say the same for your guy
By whom? Not sure that can be removed except through impeachment and conviction in the Senate and the dems won't allow that.
Good! I did not know if you’d seen it....thanks!
Shelby? NO! Really? ‘Percy Bysse’ Shelby?
The original birth certificat is being translated from Swahili into English.
Sure they would. Not everyone wants the world to know that they have “Satan” as a father.
The way I was told is that McCain was born in Panama but not on Panamanion soil as a US naval base is considered to be US soil.
Not if his father was Franklin Marshall Davis, communist and pedophile.
