Is Obama hiding his birth certificate?
The Hindustan Times ^ | July 26, 2009

Posted on 07/26/2009 8:07:10 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

As President Barack Obama attempts to cool a heated racial row in the US linked to the arrest of a black Harvard professor, a growing conspiracy claims that he is hiding a Kenyan birth certificate, making him ineligible to serve as president.

Conspiracy theorists in the United States and far right wingers, who have begun to call themselves “birthers”, claim that Obama is not entitled to be in the White House simply because he is “foreign born”, the Daily Telegraph said.

According to the conspiracists, there is something suspicious in the absence of a photocopy of Obama’s original birth record, known as the “long form”, even as the White House has published copies of his official birth certificate -—a printed summary of his birth details, including the name of the medical centre in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he was born.

The “birthers” claim that the photocopy of Obama's original birth record would have been prepared by doctors or hospital officials involved in his birth and would contain fuller details, including the address of his parents.

According to Conservative radio host George Gordon Liddy, who was linked to the Watergate burglary, Obama was in fact born in Kenya, his father's home country. He claims to have seen a deposition by the President's Kenyan step-grandmother, 86-year-old Sarah Obama, stating that the city of his birth was Mombasa, the report said. The President is therefore "an illegal alien", Liddy said.

RE: "what kind of adult doesn’t have at least one legal copy of his birth certificate somewhere at close at hand"

I agree.

I wonder what kind of arrogant jerk the President is to not release his long form B.C. and end any doubt. I as a citizen have been required to release mine several times.

All we are saying
is give release a chance.

I wish Rush would have Mr. Shanklin do a parody on that old '60s Beattles (I think) song. I think it was in some kind of "jam" session

I think you should submit to Rush or Shanklin. 2 other ideas...1. Bumper sticker
2. Tea Party song

Here is an actual Hawaii birth certificate from 1963 (the same era as Obama’s birth), which while redacted includes detailed information documenting a birth, including the name of the birth hospital and the attending physician. Beneath it is the short-form “Certification of Live Birth” offered by Obama as proof of his Hawaiian birth. It is possible to have been born outside of Hawaii and still obtain the latter form, but not the former:

Did you receive a copy of the long form or a “certification of live birth”?

Sorry to ask, but recently news sources have been stating that Hawaii only issues computer copies of the “short form” - basically ever since they went digital in 2001.

Excerpt from http://noiri.blogspot.com/2009/07/mr-president-you-are-racist-and-fired.html

The mass executions of political prisoners in the infamous Evin prison as evidenced in the photo below (in original post) leaves you unmoved and not ready to confront the bloodthirsty Mullahs who took so much trouble and offered you so much financing and treasure to elect you - AND IN SOME OPINIONS HAVE SOMETHING IN THEIR HANDS WITH WHICH TO BLACKMAIL YOU.

This is yet another reason for you to produce your birth and other requested documents to show you have no vulnerability opening you up to blackmail by enemies of the USA - even if they do not strike you as being your enemies. Or you even consider them your friends anyway.

The only Lincolnian aspect that applies to you is that you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time BUT not all of the people all of the time. And your time of fooling us appears to be reaching an end.

Well, we know for sure that he’s not hiding his religion...so it’s something worse.

One would think that at least one nurse, doctor or orderly would claim to have assisted in this birth. One would think there would be a baby book with pictures.

RE: "opening [President Obama] up to blackmail by enemies of the USA"

You know that's a great (and chilling) point. Our enemies have ways of getting information. Period.

If Obama is hiding something he could easily be blackmailed to do things harmful to America.. er, it just occurred to me. He does it anyway -- so how can we tell if it's blackmail? I wonder.

Get over it, he was born in Hawaii, therefore is a citizen.

A previous poster probably has it right...the reason he doesn’t want to release his BC is it reveals something embarrassing about him - like his designation by parents as a Muslim.

Can you prove he was born in Hawaii?

There are no original documents to support your assertion. The short-form Certification of Live Birth he released is not legitimate. It was digitally created and not printed out the way the real ones are. Besides, the “Certification” is the only document that Hawaii will issue to people who were bojrn outside of Hawaii.

I won’t be satisfied until I know the real truth. The onus is on 0bama to come clean. Until then I’ll presume he’s illegitimate.

bojrn = born.

Sorry for the typo.

Show us the original cert and we will all go away -
***Unfortunately, zer0bama knows this. And when he produces his forged copy, most of the pressure will go away, the only remaining pressure is on those who can prove it’s a forgery. And Polarik is one of those few, so he will be a target for the wrath of this administration.

I needed one 18 months or so ago, ordered it on line and the state of Hawaii sent it quite promptly.

Was it a photo or data image copy of the original? And are you in the same time frame of birth as obama? Because if so per CNN you shouldn't have that because that was all destroyed in 2001 per CNN

He was either born in Kenya or his father is listed as Malcolm X or Louis Farrakhan.

I've run out of band-aids for this one. You either have to buzz NYC with Air Force One again or say something stupid. Maybe Biden can come with something. Drop a teleprompter, do anything, just get off the subject.
