Where's monument for Obama's birthplace ?
WorldNetDaily ^ | August 3, 2009 | Drew Zahn

Ronald Reagan's birthplace, a second-story apartment over what was once a small-town tavern in Tampico, Ill., is today marked by a museum. John Adams' birthplace is a national park. Even Rutherford B. Hayes, whose birthplace is today covered over by a BP gas station, merits a metal plaque commemorating the location.

But while most of America's 44 presidents have tourist attractions or monuments of some kind marking their birthplaces, President Barack Obama – for several reasons – may not be granted the honor. Three obstacles in particular stand in the way:

First, though Obama maintains he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, the exact location of his birth hasn't been disclosed to the public.

Second, it has been reported that Obama was born in a hospital, and thus far, only one of the American presidents born in a hospital has so much as a sign commemorating the location.

Third, in an exclusive interview, the National Park Service described to WND the slough of red tape and practical obstacles that may prevent Obama's birthplace from ever being honored by the NPS.

Ask any liberal journalist. They will tell you that Obama was born in a stable, under a star. There were lots of sheeple, donkeys, left-winged turkeys, and Rats “present.”

As I recall, Jimmy Carter was the first born in a hospital.
Reagan was not. I’m not sure about Bush 41, Clinton or Bush 43.

Some little village in Kenya, but apparently they already have one.

Dad didnt build our big old house but he renovated it...

he built a house for his Mom though just down the road...

Further on was the house they lived in when I was born...

The hospital I was born in is still standing ...

A 60 bed cottage with a 12 bed maternity ward..

I was one of the first babies born in a young doctor’s first practice...

years later he was part of a medical team to Vietnam ..

We were all born in the same hospital...

The name is blazoned on my BC..
