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.

Most states do. If an American has a child outside the US, that child's BC can be registered where the parent lives. There have been countless children born to Americans on foreign soil. Their foreign birth certificates are then registered in the states. Obamas problem is that if he was born in Kenya, his mother was not old enough for him to gain naturalized status. She was only 18. She had to be 19.
Wow, I’m seeing even more type mismatches between the scan from Texas Darlin’s and this PDF.
True if you mean xerox, only an official computer generated reproduction.
What we have seen was an obviously modified digital image on an 0bama web site.
True and admittedly forged.
That was followed by the FactCheck digital image of a paper copy.
Not true, the factcheck image is a photo of an official computer generated and embossed COLB
Both FactCheck and 0bama are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Anneberg Foundation.
True. It's quite possible to have one person in a back room producing the forgery, printing it, embossing it, folding it and bringing it out of the room. But who is that person and why would Annenberg stake their reputation on his actions?
I’m proud he is pleased.
That is interesting. So did the Obama Campaign admit that the COLB they posted at Obama's Campaign server, 'Fight the Smears' is in fact a forgery?
the key phrase is “as if they occurred on US soil”

The Child Citizenship Act (CCA) declares that children who are younger than 18 years of age and have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen whether by birth or naturalization will acquire automatic citizenship. Under the CCA, qualifying children who immigrate to the United States with a U.S. citizen parent automatically acquire U.S. citizenship upon entry; children who live abroad acquire citizenship on approval of an application and the taking of the oath of allegiance.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does my child qualify for automatic citizenship under the CCA?
Under the CCA, your child will automatically acquire U.S. citizenship on the date that all of the following requirements are satisfied:
At least one parent is a U.S. citizen,
The child is under 18 years of age, and
The child is admitted to the United States as an immigrant.
2. Do I have to apply to USCIS for my child’s citizenship?
No. If your child satisfies the requirements listed above, he or she automatically acquires U.S. citizenship by operation of law on the day he or she is admitted to the United States as an immigrant. Your child’s citizenship status is no longer dependent on USCIS approving a naturalization application.
3. What documentation can I get of my child’s citizenship?
If your child permanently resides in the U.S, you can obtain evidence of your child’s citizenship by applying for a Certificate of Citizenship. You will need to file Form N-600 (Application for Certificate of Citizenship) and submit it to the local USCIS District Office or Sub-Office that holds jurisdiction over your permanent residence. You can also apply for a U.S. Passport from the Department of State.
4. Will USCIS automatically provide me with documentation of my child’s citizenship?
At the present time, USCIS is not able to automatically provide biological parents with documentation of their child’s citizenship. USCIS will continue to implement programs that streamline processes to more rapidly issue Certificates of Citizenship to qualifying children.
5. Is automatic citizenship provided for those who are 18 years of age or older?
No. Individuals who are 18 years of age or older on February 27, 2001, do not qualify for citizenship under the CCA, even if they meet all other criteria. If they wish to become U.S. citizens, they must apply for naturalization and meet eligibility requirements that currently exist for adult lawful permanent residents.
6. What forms do I file and what are the fees?
If your child permanently resides in the U.S., you can apply for evidence of citizenship by filing form N-600 (Application for Certificate of Citizenship). If you are filing on behalf of an adopted minor child, the fee is $145 (all other applicants must pay $185).
7. Where should I file the forms?
If your child permanently resides in the U.S., you can file form N-600 (Application for Certificate of Citizenship) at any USCIS District Office or Sub-Office that that holds jurisdiction over your permanent residence.
8. What resources are available to answer questions about the Child Citizenship Act?
For more information about the CCA application procedures and forms, you may go to the USCIS Web site at http://uscis.gov or contact our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. USCIS has also made available field guidance and public materials to all information officers and other front line staff to aid them in answering questions.

I think that Malcolm’ lawyer was a significant part of Zero’s young adulthood.
Zero has Grand Dad’s Stanley’s big ears. There are some other carryovers.
Zero reminds me of Bill Clinton re how did he get all of his connections, free Occidental, Columbia and Harvard law school.
Why does his step-grandmother and 2 half siblings insist that he was born in Kenya?
It is very well possible. As you have seen us post before, that Federal Standards would have him listed as white. If Obama Senior is his father, he would only have 6.25% Native African in his blood.
Ref:
http://kennethelamb.blogspot.com/2008/02/barak-obama-questions-about-ethnic.html
Obama Senior is Luo which is of the Omani Arab migration into East Africa. Arab is listed as white at the Federal Standards. None of that classification is based on appearance.
DAY-AM!!!!!
Yep throw Grampa Stanley’s ears on Malcolm, and Shazaam, we have Zero.
Prove he wasn’t born elsewhere.
At Texas Darlin’s site the full page (column) and the smaller zoom was two separate graphics. When I put them side to side, it looks like the ‘zoomed’ one was modified and the large one was too small to see.
Now, comparing the zoomed graphic I posted to this PDF, the fonts/type looks different letter for letter in the readable text around the announcement.
OH, HOW CONVENIENT THIS SAME POLITICIAN HAS NO KINDERGARTEN RECORDS??

The local factor comes into play in national politics, too. Much of the media coverage to date has focused on both Barack Obama’s and John McCain’s formative years. A recent installment of a series on Obama by Washington Post writer David Maraniss had this headline: “Obama in Hawaii: Trying to find his way at elite Punahou School.”
Now, kids from Hawaii’s public schools can also claim ties to the Democratic presidential nominee. I acquired the picture below from Winifred (Wakai) Otaguro, who was in Ms. Sakai’s kindergarten class at Noelani Elementary School in 1967. Otaguro’s mother, Betty Wakai, had written the names of most of the kids in the class on the back of the picture. Her writing identifies the first little boy in the third row as “Barry Obama.” Obama’s sister Maya Soetoro-Ng confirms that the boy is Obama, ....HOWEVER, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND HIS RECORDS.

I’m sharing this picture, because too often our public schools get short shrift in so many ways. (Disclosure: my perspective is also one of a proud former Noelani student and parent of Noelani students.) Here’s photographic evidence that Hawaii’s public schools have helped to produce at least one presidential nominee.....
at leash his head doesn’t look photoshopped on that one, the way it is on his so-called Harvard Law School photo
Recently,while doing family research,I discovered that schools keep records on students for a long time and that,in Boston at least,they're open to the public.So I went to the Boston School Dept's Records Division and asked to see my Dad's records from the '20s and and '30s.And voila! There they were.I looked at them and was allowed to have a copy.
My Dad graduated from High School in 1933.In the middle of the Depression.And his records are still there...in perfect shape.Yet Osama's records from the '60s are AWOL.Strange.No confirmed COLB...no school records....
But that's all irrelevant for the Annenberg site. Their COLB would have to be created and printed, then embossed and folded, then photographed. That is all possible, but someone would have to do it and a bunch of Annenberg people would have to trust that person and go along with it. Ignoring the Annenberg site to focus on the low res possible photoshop on the Fight the Smears site is just a distraction.
Wow! That’s a really small picture.
Because you can get a birth certificate in Mass proves nothing about Hawaii. Same thing with school records.

Barack Obama Early Years in Indonesia
The news item specifically mentions the birth announcement which appears in both “The Honolulu Advertiser” and “The Star-Bulletin”. The address which appears in that announcement is 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy. Reading through the various articles which appeared in “The Honolulu Advertiser” prior to Jr’s election that particular address is NOT associated with the Dunham family nor with Obama Sr. From “The Honolulu Advertiser” the Dunhams lived in “a large house on Kamehameha Ave.” followed by “a modest wooden house on University Ave., near Kamanele Park” prior to moving into the 10th floor apartment at “16175 Beretania St.” where Madelyn Dunham lived for 40 years until her death earlier this week.Obama Sr. lived first at the “Atherton Y.M.C.A.” followed by “a small, single story home in St. Louis Heights(which was torn down sometime between June,1962 and December of 1971). Explain to me how a “poor university student” and his “wife” managed to live in a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in a high priced district 7 miles from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I invite you to go to google maps and enter first the University of Hawaii at Manoa in followed by the areas given for each of the principles until you enter the birth announcement address and note the distance. No one has come up with who the owner of that property was in 1961 but it wasn’t the Dunhams or Obama Sr so who was it?
