Here's an odd Obama controversy I hadn't yet heard about. Apparently, the Lamb of Chicago has not released his Hawaii birth certificate despite several media requests. Jim Geraghty thinks it would end several persistent rumors concerning his birth.
Although Geraghty makes some good points, Exurban League's research interns have uncovered several reasons Obama is keeping it under wraps.
Top Ten Reasons Obama Won't Release His Birth Certificate
10. Despite the claims of his supporters, it was not technically a virgin birth.
9. Full name is Ayatollah Mubarack Hussein Obama-Khomeni bin Laden.
8. Actual birth date would reveal he's a Virgo, and those people are %#&*@! CRAZY.
7. Accidentally shredded it while going through his Rezko mortgage records.

If he was born prior to Hawaii becoming a state, was Hawaii a territory?
If so, his Mother was a citizen but not for five years after turning 16, she was 18 at his birth. And since his father was foreign and she was in a territory if that is was Hawaii was, he would be naturalized unlike McCain who had both parents as citizens even tho he was born in the Canal Zone.
I wonder, if those prior to statehood who were born in Hawaii were considered natural born or naturaized and were they naturalized en masse.
It might be that he feel between the cracks because his Mom was only 18.
Does anyone know if Hawaii was considered a territory and the date of statehood,,I will go google.
Statehood for Hawaii 1959
Naw, we Virgos aren’t crazy.....just a heckuva smarter than anyone else! We’re so misunderstood. ;)
OK I didn’t realize that other states birth records weren’t public records.
Oops.... I meant “lot smarter”. I guess I’m just a bad example, hehe! :)
Obama born in 61, after staehood so unless he is really tthree years older, he is a citizen I do believe according to the article posted upthread.
Of course no one really knows when he was born, because he won’t provide his birth cert.
Does anyone know if Mc Cain released his?
If true, then the Hildabeast will SURELY be the VP candidate, and the "news" will be leaked out, and he will withdraw, leaving the Hildabeast as the candidate, and she'll get a black VP on the ticket to seal the deal !
LOL
Or maybe he's really 10 years older than he claims and he was born in the Hawaiian Territories ... but not the State of Hawaii.
(*) yeah, I know his birthdate -- Hawaii was part of the Union ...
Here is the text:
Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. Natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between “December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986? . Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal. US Law very clearly stipulates: “…If only one parent was a U.S. Citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.” Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen and Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawai’i being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama’s birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn’t matter *after* . In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18 in Hawai’i. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Cizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.
*** Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. *** Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, all the other info does not matter because his mother is the one who needed to have been a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16. Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the country for some time to protect any citizenship he would have had, rather than living in Indonesia. Now you can see why Obama’s aides stopped his speech about how we technically have more than 50 states, because it would have led to this discovery. This is very clear cut and a blaring violation of U.S. Election law. I think the Gov. Of California would be very insterested in knowing this if Obama were elected President without being a natural-born U.S. Citizen, and it would set precedence. Stay tuned to your TV sets because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days…
Maybe is was not born in 61 is why they won’t release it.
Billy wasn’t even a Blythe, that was just the name of the GI who was 3 months from coming home when Clinton’s mom got knocked up.
That is what I wondered.
See, he’s not a Muslim—he even has “ham” in his name.
Thanks for posting it, I didn’t know if I could when I read it. I have to admit it confused me a bit. Like many orhers on this thred I’m wondering why we are just finding out about this. Pretty interesting stuff.
I just LOLed
My hubby thinks that Bill Clinton’s father was Jack Kennedy who spent a lot of time in Hot Springs around the time of Clintons birth in 47. Look at Bill and the Kennedys and see if you see a resemblence.
