This is why the form that he has provided is insufficient to verify he is a "natural born citizen." The form he has provided could have been obtained if he was born ........or a home in Kenya.

I think this is the crux of the birther mindest.
They hate Obama and his politics.
They are sure there is some reason he's not the legally elected President.
They cling to a ridiculous straw that he will be removed from office somehow: finding nothing, they obess with the "birther" issue.

If he was born in kenya he could not get a Hawaii birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii.... just how silly are you birthers?

I didn't even vote for him.
Time to accept the fact that he got elected and move on.

That is what I think happened, very possible.... However, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth. Right? So what's the big deal if he was born in Kenya? He's still a U.S. citizen right?

[ You break racial barriers that have never been broken. I think he can handle a little criticism and microscopic evaluation of his credentials. I think he can at least give up the information that is requested of him. If he has made mistakes in his past, fine, who hasn't. If he has regrets, fine, he doesn't. If he has something important enough to hide, then we need to find it!!

I am still wondering why anyone would believe you could just walk into an office and claim that Obama was born in Hawaii and get that stamped on your birth certificate?
Originally posted by getreadyalready
Obama could come clean and get a similar proclamation.

Someone asked how you would get the certification if you were not born in the state. I posted the most likely hypothetical scenario. There are probably a million other scenarios, and since nobody will come forth with the actual scenario, we are stuck with hypotheticals. It wasn't drawn out of thin air, it was an extremely plausible scenario.
If one of these talking head pundits really wanted to make a case, they would go and do this for themselves. I guarantee someone could come up with a "Certification of Live Birth" for their dog or parakeet or something. It is probably a crime to do so, but it would be great press and probably well worth it.

This kind of sounds a lot like claiming he could have gotten a photo ID just be swearing on his grandma's life he was who he says he was.

It's easy...they where residents, his parents address is in Honolulu. How hard is it to imagine he was born in Kenya and returned to their residency, and claim he was born in Hawaii? It's not that difficult, several people have done the similar.

Given the time frame the idea of them flying to Kenya while she was pregnant just to give birth and come home makes NO SENSE at all. According to the state of Hawaii, you do not get Hawaii put down as your place of birth without PROVING you were born in Hawaii. I guess what I am, was, and apparently will still be looking for is proof of this claim that it is so easy to do based on a claim. Who has done similar?
Originally posted by imitator
What time frame? She would have been in Kenya while pregnant, then after his birth flew home. The only thing the mother has to say is that he was born in the back seat of a car... Who has done similar? They do that all the time south of the border. I know a few Mexican Americans who have done that.

The Certification of Live Birth does not prove birth in Hawaii only a Long Form Birth Certificate proves birth in Hawaii,Certification of Live Birth only proves live birth and not the following:
1. Hospital where birth took place
2. What Doctor delivered the child
Hawaii has stated they have it on file, yet cannot release it legally. Only Obama can release it, and he won't, why?
In 1961, Hawaii's laws allowed for four or five variants of the COLB, one being born in a foreign country, that's a fact and was Hawaii's dirty little secret for Illegal Immigration purposes.
You can even have a sex change and have your birth certificate amended (no, I'm not suggesting that is what has happened):www.freerepublic.com...
Free the Long Form!
As of yet the ONLY one that exists IS this Kenyan BC, prove it wrong.

Then the issue becomes the "natural born citizen" part of the Constitution. Technically McCain was not a natural born citizen either, because he was born on a foreign military base. To get around that issue the Congress made a proclamation that he was indeed a natural born citizen according to the spirit of the law.
Obama could come clean and get a similar proclamation.
Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961
The problem is assuming we are all fools and will accept a half-ass document as proof.
At least treat us with respect and give us a suitable explanation.
