I have thought there are two reasons for Obama’s BC to be hidden from view.

1. He was not born in the U.S.

2. or, he has something embarrassing on the certificate.

I really can’t think, though, what would be so embarrassing on his birth certificate. A different father? I am totally against Obama’s agenda, but I don’t blame him for who his father may have been. No child chooses his parents. I wouldn’t hold that against anybody.

I guess if he started out lying he has to continue to lie.

History will tell. I hope it tells before I leave this earth. Because there is a reason why his birth certificate has not been produced.

something embarrassing on the certificate

Not this at all. Reason - his BC would be the ONLY document under lock and key. It's his passport, school transcripts, missing page from his parents' divorce, etc., etc.

there is an old news paper article with obama and a girl pictured...she refers the them both as foreign exchange students going to school in Hawaii

I think that he has no father listed...and that his name is actually Barry Dunham, since that was his mom’s name and he went by Barry for so many years. Of course none of that is his fault.

He runs into problems due to his book “Dreams of My Father” which is a bunch of hogwash, if he isn’t sure who his father was. So, it’s in his interest in hiding his BC, but if it comes out, it’s nothing career ending

Here is my answer to your question. Very simple and straight-forward ... in other words, possible or probable.

What was his big claim to fame when he ran for president? IOW what made him even more attractive to democrats as a candidate than even Hillary. He was the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT! Whooee! This was so historical. How many millions of votes were cast for no other reason than they were voting for the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT?

Ok. So his mother was white. His birth certificate was assigned in 1961. What if the father wasn’t present, which is pretty likely? If you were preparing the birth certificate and you had the white mother here and the light skinned little Barry in front of you, what would you write in the RACE? column. How about Caucasian? Seems likely.

Now, 45 years later little Barry is running as the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT, hoping to get millions of votes just for that fact. Does he want anyone to see his birth certificate that says he is Caucasion?

Race: White
Religion: Islam
Father: Random Dude I met in the park bathroom
Name: Not what I claim it to be

Any of the above. Not that we’ll ever see it. And as President with executive powers I’m sure the issue(s) have been resolved.

Our founders did to prevent divided loyalties just as we're seeing from the Kenyan. But, hey, let's just throw out the Constitution, sing a round of kumbayah and have a group hug so everyone feels good.

If his original BC lists Barry Dunham as his name, for instance, then it is a bit more than embarrassment, he has committed and IS COMMITTING fraud and he has criminal liability.

"I really can’t think, though, what would be so embarrassing on his birth certificate."

He may have been born without his testicles having come down and his penis very small so was assumed he was a girl.

Or a Hermaphrodite.
