Barack Obama: Born in Hawaii
Hawai`i Free Press ^ | Nov 7 2008 | Andrew Walden

Posted on 11/07/2008 8:20:19 AM PST by AndrewWalden

A fairly impressive internet industry has sprung up claiming that Obama was born in either Kenya or Indonesia. This is nonsense which distracts from the broadly unexplored story of Obama’s upbringing. This kind of nonsense has emerged because the McCain campaign chose not to raise the many questions about Barack Obama’s numerous hard-left alliances. Barack Obama was born in Hawai`i, August 4, 1961 at Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu.

Obama’s birth certificate posted online is exactly the same birth certificate everybody in Hawai`i gets from the State Department of Health. It is not forged. There is nothing unusual about the design or the texture. In addition to the birth certificate, the August 13, 1961 Honolulu Advertiser also carries an announcement of Obama’s birth. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin also carries the same announcement. Both papers require submission of a copy of the birth certificate to print a birth announcement.

By refusing media requests for a look at the actual paper birth certificate, Obama’s campaign gave sly backhanded assistance to the forgery hype.

The only way this will ever grow legs is for him to really really tick off the Democratic establishment. The media would then jump on it and Obama would be empeached or resign in record time.

It is blackmail material to control Barry.

Yep. I could never quite decide if this was a real issue, or if Obama and gang were sitting on a legitimate birth certificate just because it bugged us and gave them the chance to release it and ridicule McCain as a tool of the "right wing kooks" if he ever questioned it. The third option of having a real BC but a confusing history of name changes, questionable paternity and multiple Kenyan/Indonesian/US citizenships was just easier to avoid by trying to bury the issue altogether.

Throw on top of that people following red herrings of fonts and image strangeness on the certification of live birth that could be explained by the fact that it was beaten to death by JPEG compression leaving all sorts of image artifacts on it.

Uh. No. Privacy laws and laws passed in response to identity theft prevent just any old munchkin from seeing your records.

Just did a very quick (and very incomplete) search of the Massachusetts Dept of Vital Records website and it looks like you're incorrect.On the form through which you order a record by mail it asks for your name and mailing address but I see no requirement to state your "relationship" to the person whose record you're ordering.

I know that that *used* to be the case a few years back because I did it.I saw the official records of...and got copies of them....people to whom I had *no* legal or familial connection (don't ask why....it's a long story).

If you wish to and are able to...point me to the place where it says only certain "classes" of people can see a person's records.

Published in an African newspaper but hosted in the U.S. as I understand it.

Doesn't matter where it was hosted, the article was posted by some Nigerian guy who has no direct knowledge or credibility. It is simply agitprop.

I think I've read that there have been periods where,under the laws in effect at those times,if you were born during them...under certain circumstances...you did not gain US citizenship at birth.I thin k I read that 1961 falls into one of those periods

The laws have been gone over here thoroughly, there is no such circumstance in 1961 unless his mother was sent to Kenya to give birth and sent back within a few weeks.

The $2 reproduction has been produced and displayed on the internet for anyone to see. There is zero chance of them being photoshopped to change any text (see the high res folded versions for that). What hasn’t been produced, as has been pointed out here again, is the original typed version filed in some cabinet in Hawaii. But if the official reproductions do not match that one, then the State of Hawaii has big problems.

Thanks!

I know under California law I needed to sign a notarized affidavit to get a copy of mine a few months ago. IIRC, to get a BC I’d need to certify that it was me, a direct blood relative (parent or child), or that I shared a common ancestor with the person in question.

From everything I’ve heard Hawaii shares the same rules. I’m astonished that Massachusetts doesn’t.

It’s moot in any event, the Governor of Hawaii has ordered that they are to do everything in their power to keep a copy of 0bama’s BC out of the hands of the press.

They spent thousands of dollars and fought to not produce a $2 (or whatever) birth certificate.

Makes absolutely no sense in any possible context.

If he had a real, 100% provable Hawaii BC he did have some reasons not to release it.

1. He had lots of money and the Republicans didn't. If he gets in a dollar for dollar lawyer fight the Republicans fall behind with every dollar spent.

2. It gives him the chance to get McCain to publicly question it and return with a killer smash of releasing it that day to make McCain look like a fool (with lots of MSM help).

3. If the BC issue did ever start getting traction he could kill it by releasing it, so sitting on it for a while was not a risk for him.

Take care with your hermenutics, N&V. That Hebrews passage refers to Melchizedek, who is a picture of the pre-incarnate Christ. Our high priest.

However, I suspect Ob1 has nailed it - 'the one' is a counterfeit of the real One.

“Michelle honey, help me find that thing? I think it’s in the third drawer, with my diplomas and stuff?”

“Sorry, Obama-honey, it’s not there.”

“All right. Enough is enough! (grabs a phone and digits a number). “Hello, Hawaii Department of Births and Deaths? This is U.S. Senator Barack Obama... Look there are millions clamoring to see the real deal, can you send me a copy of your copy... the one with all the info?... No, not the computer generated short version. Those damned fools refuse to believe me, because - politician that I am - I’ve fibbed and flipflopped about a few things before... Yes, the read old-fashioned Birth Certificate like millions of regular Americans have had to show. Thanks.”

Was that difficult?

But instead the American people get lawyers, technicalities, accusations of tin-foil conspiracies, state court and supreme court appeals, newspaper clippings, scanned copies, lessons in Photoshopping.

The man who took 650-800 million dollars from Americans (and possibly oil sheiks)in campaign donations should be able to spare 10 minutes and/or ten dollars for something as routine, simple, mundane as a driver’s license, social security card... a crappy, little document.

Instead he prefers to spend enough money to build 100 schools in Chad, 500 new fresh water wells in Burundi... on lawyers.

And we’re supposed to believe that he’s not hiding something... important, revealing?

A reasonable answer is nothing since that would mean the official reproductions would have to be false. Why would officials in Hawaii put out a false official reproduction? Because Obama told them to?

Has any representative of a reputable news organization...or any representative of the RNC or other political organization that might be "unfriendly" to Osama...ever been allowed into the State of Hawaii's Vital Records room to see his records? Or has any such person ever been presented one of those big archive books that you see in such offices,have it opened to a certain page by an employee and told "there...page 724....Osama Hussein Obama....born whatever date....born,Honolulu...attending doctor,Dr John Smith....see,there's Dr Smith's signature"?

And officials of the State of Hawaii are certainly unlikely to put out false documents.But Osama's people certainly would....and with the help of his Hollyweird friends and his friends in Silicon Valley they could probably put out a pretty good one.

Solution...(as I stated earlier)...open his records to certain members of the press (Marxist and Conservative) as well as to the Chairmen of the RNC and the DNC.Let then see the *actual* book in which *his* entry is found.Let them see that the form looks like it's 47 years old.Let them see the actual pen and ink signature of the doctor who delivered The Anointed One.

Are you catching on now? Do you see the amazing harm that Osama could do to the VRWC if he were to do that and everything was kosher? And once you consider the magnitude of that harm do you start to think that Osama's allowing this matter to fester might not have such an innocent explanation?

Give Obama every excuse. Null and Void is a loonie, in this new order of things. The sane are insane because of their sanity, the reasonable irrational because of their reasoned thinking. Welcome to Paradise Obama.

Everything Obama does is magnificent, every bit of it the Truth. Reality might lie, but Obama never does.
