Where is the original, the one printed in 1961 and don’t tell me it is been lost, I was born in 1961 and I still have my original birth certificate!
Since the Obama campaign hasn't claimed that it's been lost, one can logically infer that Obama has it. But the campaign has refused to release it. Within days of this becoming a controversy, this substitute appeared.
Interesting bit of logic there. Let me get it straight. You were born in 1961. You still have your original birth certificate. Therefore, everyone born in 1961 has their original birth certificate.
You have a certificate of birth issued to your parents at the hospital. Else, if you have your “original” official document regarding your birth you could get into serious trouble with ICE. The original must necessarily be filed with the government where it is kept safe.
