“Obama was not born abroad.”

I apologize for the rude sound of this question, but how do you KNOW that? We have (at least) two claims by Obama:

1. 1961, in Hawaii
2. 1965, (approximately) where?

Has ANYONE seen an actual birth certificate?

The whole point (of the NYT article) may well be to get us to deny their allegation, with much hand waving and dust throwing, so that, when (if) the issue of Obama’s status as “natural born” is raised, the arguments and claims we have used can be used against us.

A “FINDLAW” search of the USC yields only this reference to “natural born:”

• United States Code

  • TITLE 16 - CONSERVATION

    • CHAPTER 1 - NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES

      • SUBCHAPTER XVIII - SARATOGA NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK

U.S. Code as of: 01/19/04

Section 159g. Acquisition of lands

As used in
    this subsection with respect to a property owner, the term
    "immediate family" means the spouse, brother, sister, parent, or
    child of such property owner. Such term includes a person bearing
    such relationships through adoption and a stepchild shall be
    treated as a natural born child for purposes of determining such
    relationship.

Clearly, this reference has absolutely NOTHING to do with the issue at hand. If anyone knows of another reference which I have missed, PLEASE cite it here!

If there is none, then the “USC based” arguments raised here have exactly the opposite effect. This is not a little point.
