Kos is gloating over producing Barack Obamas birth certificate. First, generally vital statistical records are not available to anyone except the subject of the record unless they have signed a release (Im checking Hawaiis laws). Perhaps the Light Being gave him a copy, who knows. But the interesting thing about this certificate is the description for race on Obamas father, it lists him as African. In 1961 all Live Birth certificates contained the word Black, which is a race, not African.
Not that it cant be real, and I really dont care, but hey, this is Screw em Kos. Take a look.
Per lgf:
This is NOT a birth certificate, its a certification of live birth a slightly different thing.
And yes, the campaign did give it to Moulitsas for posting; he says so in the comments.
But I checked with the vital statistics registrar in Hawaii and the African nomenclature is incorrect. In 1961 it would have been black or even, negro.

Based on this, as far as Im concerned the jurys still out.
Are there any FReepers born in HI in the early 1960’s that have a BC that looks similar to this? I am not much younger than the big O, and my birth certificate looks nothing like this. This looks way too modern to have come from the 1960’s. I was born in another state, though.
When Obama’s lips move, he lies.
He made up his life.
How can a state law have any effect on the citizenship of anyone? Citizenship is strictly a federal responsibility.
Exactly. I had a family of African children on my bus route that were blonde haired/blue eyed caucasian.
Seems a bit fishy to me also it looks like this was created on a modern day machine they don't do that kind of stuff they usually photocopy originals they don't remake originals on the fact it can be to easily altered !
Absolutely...just as all Americans are not white, all Africans are not black. We have family friends that are "white" Afrikaners.
My Ohio certificate is unfolded...and I received it via mail. It was in a large envelope.
I think you are wrong on this. At least in the Midwest the term was colored. There were signs everywhere back then saying, bathroom for ‘Colored’s’, drinking fountain for ‘Colored’s. some signs just pointed to the bathroom or fountain and said, ‘Colored’, as did other signs which said ‘White only’.
You are in Hawaii?
darn right! I'm living proof ... a Caucasian African American, and proud of it. A minority of but a few ...
There is no such office. Which is why the issue must be raised. Ultimately eligibility questions would go to the Supreme Court.
What is needed is a black Republican born in the same time frame from Hawaii to request one.
I’m not sure of the exact years. “Colored” was the earlier polite term, and “black” was avoided, but the black activists attacked “colored” as demeaning and insisted that they were black. “Negro” had been the neutral, scientific term, but black replaced it. whether that was beginning to happen when Obama was born, or a little later, I’m not sure.
“Persons of color” later came in as a correct term, but “colored” is still out. And of course “persons of color” means to include all the designated minority groups except whites. But I don’t believe Japanese or Chinese or American Indians would be inclined to use it to describe themselves except in academic settings. In other words, it supposedly means all people except whites, but in practical usage usually means blacks.
Hawaii does not permit release of birth certificates without the person's permission, and Obama has repeatedly refused to give his permission.
Explain how those two declarations AREN'T contradictory in the context of this discussion?
I just received a copy of my son’s birth certificate from California. It had my maiden name, husband’s name, our dates of birth and where we were born. It showed a signature from the doctor and when it was filed, along with the date, time and location of my son’s birth. Lots of info. It also had the embossed seal.I admit, that each state may be different along with time changing what all is included.
I was born in California in 1955. When I got a copy of my birth certificate it was a printout from a micro-fisch, printed on Los Angeles County certificate paper. It was fugly. This thing looks just too pretty.
Fast forward to 2007, and copies of my twins birth certificate are printed directly to certificate paper.
Hey, hey; Ho, ho
Kerry: sign the one-eight-oh!
