Look, I haven't argued with you and like your posts. However, Barry O. submitted something that doesn't look like my BC, my brother's, my youngest sister, my mother, or two friends who are almost 100 years old.(seeing the BC’s of someone who will be 100 is pretty cool)

There is speculation that he was adopted at the age of 7. If so, his BC or COLB should have a notation saying amended, as does mine and my brother and sister.

I was adopted at the age of 7 and have looked at my BC many times. I considered changing my name back to my birth name but since he BC would not be altered it doesn't hold value to me.

I remember going to college and having to provide a BC along with school records.

Years later I wanted to travel to Europe and needed a passport. I didn't feel like going through storage and looking for it so wrote to the state and received a copy
which I took to the passport office in San Francisco.

6 weeks later I had a passport and my BC back.

Barry's is incomplete and there is no reason, given the gravity of situation to have released a COLB.

Based on my experience why wouldn't I question Barry and his forthrightness.

I had seen the birther threads before and didn't really give them much thought. Didn't really care about travels, his politics, just didn't care about him.

But, when I saw that COLB, on a thread here, I instantly said “Wait a minute” “That is not a Birth Certificate and looks nothing like mine”.

All it took to engage me was seeing that incomplete document and I was in.

Trust me, when I tell I know some of the very prominent Democrats in California and have met some from out state. Most of my friends are Democrats. To be expected, as I live in the Bay Area.

I have always enjoyed a good discussion about politics and never shy from a discussion.

But this incomplete record, when I already know there are 3 BC’s two of which should be in his possession is beyond odd.

Hey, I knew we got along well for a good reason. I am a democrat! But of the Arkansas persuasion, which is probably too conservative for the West Coast guys. Have they taught you the secret Democrat handshake yet? Or have they let you vote for a dead person yet? My first time after I changed parties was so scary.

parsy, who is curious

Doesn't look like mine, either. But I wasn't born in Hawaii.

Only if it was done in a U.S. court. Why would Soetoro, an Indonesian national and temporary resident, adopt a child in a U.S. court?

And how do you know Obama didn't have to do the same?

Based on my experience why wouldn't I question Barry and his forthrightness.

And you are free to do so. But what says Obama has to satisfy your doubts in order to be president?
