Daily Kos has obtained a copy of Obama's "certification of live birth."
All of the information is what we have been told before - name, birth date, etc.. His mother's race is listed as "Caucasian," his father as "African." No middle name of Muhammad, no first name of "Barry," no last name of "Dunham." He's listed as "Barack Hussein Obama II," not "Jr."
(Interestingly, in the lower right hand corner is the backwards reflection of a stamp, "June 6 or G, 2007". Did someone request or process this record about a year ago?)
Site creator Markos Moulitsas mentions in the comments the campaign released it to him.
(Also, for astrologers, the time of birth was 7:24 p.m.)
Next time you get one of those e-mails suggesting Obama has a different "real name," send people to this post or that document.
UPDATE: I'm getting some, "Jim, this looks modern," e-mail messages. As Ed notes,
When someone requests a validated copy of their birth certificate, they don’t get a photocopy of the original. They get a fresh certificate with a seal showing that it came from the official registrar, in most states. They keep the info in a computer and produced validated copies on request.
This is a validated copy of the birth certificate, with which Obama could get a passport, register to vote, etc etc. It’s perfectly acceptable.
Obama himself probably has a dog-eared yellowing copy in a desk drawer somewhere; this document is what he or someone authorized by him was given by the state out of its records. Barring some vast conspiracy within the Hawaii State Department of Health, there is no reason to think his birth certificate would have any different data.
And if your name is Mississippi Alan Bedilion Trahern versus Joe Dirt do they fill in the background around Joe, and stretch it for MABT?
I have already zoomed it up to 800% using Firefox image zoom there is no detail in the seal all the letters and lines have pixelation around the edges and the black is too dark to be anything but manipulated electronically.
Add to that someone’s attempt to be politically correct by putting African as a Race. at the time of Osama’s birth his father would have been counted as Negro or Negroid. It seems some young person that wasn’t born in that era didn’t know what should go there.
Check out this information and you will see the "five year" requirement on page 2, with all of the other stuff about being born outside of the country under various versions of the law. The stuff about being born in the country is on page 1, and is very simple--being born in the U.S. is enough to make you a citizen, and has been since time immemorial. The birth certificate shows BHO was born in this country, so that's that.
Beats me. I’m not a government typist any more. Besides, Mississippi was his nickname, which wouldn’t have been on the birth certificate.
Sorry, I was trying to include the thought. I realize you were saying that was unlikely or impossible.
LOL, that a good one.
I know more than one child that is II rather than junior and they are all named for their father and none are illgitimate.
Ha! At least you knew who it was. ;o)
You are the one (among others) mis-reading who/what situations the statute is intended for!!!!
This is not rocket science, people!
Of course. I’d be offended that you even considered any other possibility, but my son just brought me a snake and I have to leave.
If you have a single piece of actual information to the contrary, I'd love to see it. If your response will just be to continue to tell us how stupid we all are, well, then I guess I'd rather not.

Furniture? Appliance? Hop-In? Supply?
Do tell!
It does not list genus and species. Is he really homo sapiens?
Same for me from Ohio and one from CA my three kids needed to have certified copies to get passports. You have to pay more to get them certified, but they do come without a stamp if it is for information only.
It is a possibility, but not in the cases of any males I know who are 2nd's, rather than Jr's.
I always thought it was indicative of the parents not wanting their kid called “Junior” all the time.
Just like John Wayne's....:-)
Which legitimate pres representatives have requested a copy of Obama’s birth certificate? I haven’t seen anything about this anywhere but here and a couple internet blogs.
I have three copies of my birth certificate. One is an "original copy", given to my parents when I was born. It is typed, but looks reversed. Black background and white lettering. Raised seal, no gold or other colors. Lots of details about my dad's job, mother's maiden name, etc.
The second, which I got around 1980, because the first had been misplaced and I needed it for a job, is a typed copy like the first, but no longer reversed colors. Seal in the corner on the front.
The third, which I needed post-9/11 for my new passport, looks pretty much exactly like the one at the top of this thread, except a different state. Less information, too. The seal is embossed on the back, which is why the front doesn't show it.
We've had similar experiences as out kids have needed birth certificates to get ID to fly or get licenses, post-9/11.
This is a waste of time.
That is interesting. They may have changed it for PC reasons in the computer database.
