1. Am I to believe that the President of the United of States of America was so careless that he lost his original long form birth certificate, a very valuable document in most families, and that is why he had to order a new one in April 2011? I'm sorry but I find that hard to believe.
2. And if Obama lost his long form birth certificate, when did he lose it?
3. June 2007: If Obama lost it, it must have been in 2007 or earlier, because that is the year stamped on the back of Obama's short form certificate that we see on the FactCheck site. The 2007 date on the back of the certificate means that then Senator Obama ordered a new birth certificate in 2007.
4. Just wondering: Why didn't then Senator Obama order another long form birth certificate back in 2007 instead of ordering a short form, because we now know that a person had a choice of ordering either a short form or long form birth certificate back in 2007.
5. Think about this: An official at the Hawaii Health Department gets a phone call or a letter from then Senator Obama requesting a copy of his birth certificate. I would think that the official would go out of his way to check with then Senator Obama if he wanted a short form or a long form. If I had been Senator Obama and I had lost my long form, I would try to get another long form to replace the one I lost. For instance, as a newly elected United States Senator, I might be asked later by some agency or some reporter to see my long form birth certificate, so I would play it safe and I would make sure that I ordered a long form instead of a short form birth certificate. But that is just me.
6. How did then Senator Obama order his birth certificate back in 2007? If he ordered by letter, then I wonder if such a letter is still on file. If it was by letter, I bet the clerks at the Hawaii Health Department were excited to receive such a unique and even historical request for a birth certificate from native son and newly elected Senator Obama.
7. Or maybe Senator Obama simply called Hawaii officials and requested a copy. Still, I bet the clerk who made the copy must have been all excited to make a copy for then Senator Obama from Illinois. I bet the word spread throughout the Hawaii Health Department like wild fire that Senator Obama has requested a copy of his birth certificate. I wonder who the clerk was who made the copy. Of course, if Obama made his request in secret, I would wonder why.
8. I wonder how long it was from the time that Obama realized that he had lost his long form birth certificate until June 2007 when Obama ordered a new birth certificate.
9. I doubt that Obama ordered his birth certificate the same day that he realized that he had lost his. So I would guess a few days or a few weeks must have passed from the time Obama discovered that he couldn't find his long form birth certificate to the time when he ordered a new birth certificate from Hawaii in 2007.
10. So it looks like then Senator Obama was without a birth certificate for at least a few days or even a few weeks back in 2007.
11. I find it funny as I imagine Senator and future President Obama anxiously and fruitlessly searching through his records like the rest of us when he realized that he couldn't find his long form birth certificate where he thought he had safely put it, and maybe, out of desperation and a feeling of helplessness, he ended up asking his wife Michelle and his staff if they had seen his long form birth certificate lying around somewhere. Too funny.
12. Mainstream reporters scared of Obama? And the mainstream media is so scared of Obama that it failed to ask Obama a simple question about the long form birth certificate when Obama announced on April 27, 2011 at a White House press conference that he was releasing his long form birth certificate: Why did you have to go to all that trouble to order a new long form birth certificate? Did you lose the one you had? If you lost it, when did you first realize that you had lost it?
All valid questions jm...how about the fact that the law firm Obama used to work for began invesitgating the NBC issue (back in 2006/2997 I believe). Why???
He announced his candidacy Feb. 2007. The factcheck b/c is stamped June 2007. The DNC and Pelosi claimed he was eligible Aug. 2008. What was happening in April or May of 2007 that suddenly required him to produce a b/c? That would have been a couple months after he declared he was running so that might have been it even though it was very early in the game.
