OK, that’s it - I’m calling him Barry from now on - that’s it, just Barry - no last name because it’s unverified.
But but shouldn’t there still be an original birth certificate with the name Barack Obama on it?
I honestly don’t think it will matter. Not changing his name legally was just an oversite. Plus McCain will say he’s the legal president. And Rush, Hannity and O’Rielly will say it’s not a big deal.

Perry would no doubt sign something that would improve his chances.
I thought Texas was one of the others, but do not quote me on that. All states should have that law!
Arizona will decide whether Obama gets reelected or not
Go Arizona, GOOOOOOOOOO!
0b0z0's crushed ego will be the end of him! Of Course, the communists' talking points will be :
Yeah, of course, the bigots in AZ are made at His Heinous for suing AZ on behalf of the poooooooooor immigrants! Remember, he feels their pain because he’s one of them! LOL!
The point is, would he show AZ his stealth BC? Could UberCommie find/forge it in time?
Interesting to see the avalanche of red states following suit!
The only way his name could be Barry Soetoro is if he was adopted by his mother’s second husband.
There would also be a notation on the long form BC that would simply say “amended”.
They had their chance in 2008, but because of their stupid election law allowed the candidates to “self-attest”. That’s right, sign a document and send it in stating that they were indeed constitutionally eligible for the office without verification from any state authority.
Republican legislatures in four states — Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona — have or plan to introduce bills that would require all candidates for president or vice president of the United States to show his or her birth certificate to be on the state ballot.
There are as I understand it other states now crafting eligibility statutes for the 2012 elections.
I suspect most states already have in place statutes/laws/codes outlining elgibility which requires a certification of elgibility of the candidate. What they apparently don’t have is a requirement for proof of that elgibility..
Here is what a couple of states already have on the books:

I don’t qute get this. It wasn’t an issue for Gary Hartpence or William Jefferson Blythe.
This is a story about potential fraud on a grand scale
White lie and "fraud on a grand scale" don't seem to be related to me.
Good summary of issues
That's impossible!!! If the short form isn't fraudulent, then his long form MUST have his name listed as Barrack Hussein Obama.
Barack Obama should give Barry Soetoro a full pardon, and then announce that he is dropping the name Barack Obama.
More propaganda to mislead the sheep to think about other reasons then his NBC issue.
No, it was the state legislatures that dropped the ball. They have always had the constitutional power to prevent foreigners from becoming receiving their electoral votes.
Nice try. He won’t show his COLB because it will leave a trail which shows he was not born in the United States.
