Here’s the long-form birth certificate, so birthers can get to work on explaining why we now need a photograph of President Obama’s parents standing in front of Kapiolani hospital with a copy of the August 4, 1961 edition of the Honolulu Star Advertiser in one hand and a complete genome in the other.
Here’s White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer’s full statement on the matter:
In 2008, in response to media inquiries, the President’s campaign requested his birth certificate from the state of Hawaii. The state sent the campaign the President’s birth certificate, the same legal documentation provided to all Hawaiians as proof of birth in state, and the campaign immediately posted it on the internet. That birth certificate can be seen here (PDF).
When any citizen born in Hawaii requests their birth certificate, they receive exactly what the President received. In fact, the document posted on the campaign website is what Hawaiians use to get a driver’s license from the state and the document recognized by the Federal Government and the courts for all legal purposes. That’s because it is the birth certificate. This is not and should not be an open question.
The President believed the distraction over his birth certificate wasn’t good for the country. It may have been good politics and good TV, but it was bad for the American people and distracting from the many challenges we face as a country. Therefore, the President directed his counsel to review the legal authority for seeking access to the long form certificate and to request on that basis that the Hawaii State Department of Health make an exception to release a copy of his long form birth certificate. They granted that exception in part because of the tremendous volume of requests they had been getting. President Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate can be seen here (PDF):
At a time of great consequence for this country – when we should be debating how we win the future, reduce our deficit, deal with high gas prices, and bring stability to the Middle East, Washington, DC, was once again distracted by a fake issue. The President’s hope is that with this step, we can move on to debating the bigger issues that matter to the American people and the future of the country.
And here’s the White House’s correspondence with the Hawaii State Department of Health.
What else is happening today? Donald Trump is going to New Hampshire.
Wish I had a Sprite right now be cause of your name!
I can't help wondering if this is a rope-a-dope. I think we should hold our powder especially until a signature pro has a look at signatures. Someone mentioned going to see how certificates in 1961 looked like his.
Any Hawiian (sic)Freepers who can look at their certificate around 1961 and see if their birth certificates are similar? Since he has made public both Copies of live birth can't anyone ask Hawain (sic) registers (sic) if these look right?
Well, he and his cabal of tsars created the problems, never own up to the fact that they caused the problems.
Not president; yes cabinet.
If race is African, then it follows that Qadaffi, Nelson Mandela and Ernie Els are all of the same race.
Not to be a smart aleck, but are you sure? Is this settled law? I’ve seen and heard lots of opinions agreeing and disagreeing with you.
Moot anyway since if it is controversial, SCOTUS will take the least disruptive course and favor the side you describe.
See, I told you it was nutty...hard day of housework. Housewifery is tough.
Manifests are probably tossed by now, but I'm thinking we might find something if we look at Mama rather than Obama. Passports, adoption papers, people who might recall her, etc.
After the Kenyan village where Mama was living around relative. An aunt said she helped with birthing and television report aired them ecstatic that one of there could by the POTUS.
Then suddenly there seemed to be a blackout of news from Kenya. Was the relative living illegally in US interviewed? She went to Inaugural Ball, I think but she lives pretty poorly in government housing. Anything from her?
So far I have heard:
1) Born in Hawaii
2) Born in Kenya with Mother attended by Obama clan.
3) Born in Mombasa Hospital.
All three of these I have gotten from Free Republic but I don't know how I can find them since I've read so many of these threads.
My point is to pretty much ratchet investigation on Obama and backtrack over Mother's activities. Are any of the Grandparents still living? Are ANY of his relatives that were close enough to Obama who might know. FOR KRISTINN (SIC)...I NEED TO PUT IN MY $ FOR THE DRIVE. WHY DO MONTHLY DONATIONS GET PUSHED? I'VE ALWAYS PUT $ TO CHARITIES AND FREE REPUBLIC - I HAVEN'T DONATED AS MUCH AS I SHOULD HAVE - SO I WANT TO GET IT RIGHT. THANKS. ALSO, HOW BEST TO $ TO TEA PARTIERS. IS THERE ONE TEA PARTY THAT IS BEST TO DONATE TO.
Who in the government was responsible for vetting him for candicy?
I may have misread this somewhere. Hawaii was so low in population that they used COLB for both Hawaiin born and anybody who was born out of Hawaii but needed to be certified.
Did his Mother have a birth certificate being born in US? Would she have had to be certified COLB in order to live in Hawaii? How did Hawaii register, specifically, grown people who would presumable have had a BC from when they were born in anybody born outside of Hawaii at time of Obama's birth? So many questions. Would his time in Indonesia have affected/complicated his citizenship elsewhere? There are many timelimes that must be met in order for parents returning to US with children born outside US, aren't there? Any immigration specialists out there? Doesn't he have friends or school mates who know him enough to give him a fist or chest bump? If I was not scandalized by my relation, I would be a party queen that my friend or relative was POTUS! How come NO ONE that I've heard of from his past has come forward for Barbara Walters to interview?
