I do not see what the big deal is. It is the birth announcement that was listed in the newspaper. No one that I know of has disputed that the birth was announced in a newspaper, but that does not prove that Obama was born in Hawaii. It proves his birth was announced in a Hawaiian Newspaper.
and before you go on the attack, you should probably know I am not a "birther".
Announced in a Hawaiian Newspaper with an address of the parents that live in Hawaii?
Don't you find it a bit odd? Why would someone go through the trouble?
Did Barack Sr put the announcement in 2 papers on the off chance that his son would be POTUS one day and didn't want to ruin his chances?
Think about it. The flow of logic just doesn't go that way. And if it did then Barack Sr was one hell of a clairvoyant.
There are several laws that require the department to collect personal information from an applicant: * Name and Date of Birth (Section 56-1-80 and 56-1-90)
* Social Security Number (Section 56-1-90)
* Citizenship (Section 56-1-40(7) and 56-1-80)
* Residency (Section 56-1-40(7) and Section 56-1-80(c)

You can call me a birther all day long, I don't care because I could care less if Obama was born here or not. If he was a good POTUS who looked after America and made good choices for the good of the people then I would defend him even if he was born in Kenya. I would do so knowing I was blatantly wrong because it violates the Constitution of the United States, the only real law.
The fact is, he is a traitor to our country, as was Bush and I don't give a damn what political party anyone hides behind these days, do what is best for country and population and live by the law the damn country was founded on, not lies, false flags and deception.
Republic or Democrat, black or white, born here or not, save this country and stop doing wrong to the people or you will be judged by the people for the people, in this life or the next.edit on 6-7-2011 by Helious because: (no reason given)
Lost in the renewed scrutiny into US President Barack Obama's birth records is the fact that anyone can walk into a Hawaii vital records office, wait in line behind couples getting marriage licences and open a baby-blue government binder containing basic information about his birth.
Recently FactCheck representatives got a chance to spend some time with the birth certificate, and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides at the Obama headquarters in Chicago. We can assure readers that the certificate does bear a raised seal, and that it’s stamped on the back by Hawaii state registrar Alvin T. Onaka (who uses a signature stamp rather than signing individual birth certificates). We even brought home a few photographs.

I have asked in quite a few threads for discussion on the following image.
WND (WorldNet Daily) has explained their position ad nauseum
Farah was born in Paterson, New Jersey, on July 6, 1954, to parents of Syrian and Lebanese ancestry.
Source
Farah had previously pledged $15,000 to the hospital where Obama was born upon the release of said document.
Jerome Corsi wrote about them in his book.
Jerome Robert Corsi (born August 31, 1946) is an American author, political commentator and conspiracy theorist, best-known for his two New York Times bestselling books: The Obama Nation and Unfit for Command (with co-author John O'Neill). Both books, the former written in 2008 and the latter in 2004, attacked Democratic presidential candidates and were criticized for including numerous inaccuracies.
In other books and columns for conservative websites such as WorldNetDaily.....promoting the Abiogenic hypothesis of the origin of oil (arguing that oil is produced from chemical reactions in the Earth, in contrast to the general consensus of the scientific community that oil is produced from organic materials, such as zooplankton and algae)
Source
Conservative author and pundit Debbie Schlussel has accused Corsi of plagiarizing elements from columns that she has published, and subsequently posting them under his byline in his WorldNetDaily column.
Orly Taitz has explained her position
Source
Orly Taitz (born August 30, 1962) is an American dentist, lawyer, former real estate agent...
Orly Taitz was born to a Jewish family in Chişinău, Moldavian SSR in the Soviet Union (present day Moldova).
Taitz has also supported a number of other theories not directly related to Obama, including:
Hugo Chávez owns the software that runs American voting machines
In November 2008, Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of independent presidential candidate Alan Keyes
Taitz filed a lawsuit on behalf of Pamela Barnett, Keyes, other candidates in the 2008 federal elections
Attorney misconduct
On October 13, 2009, Judge Clay Land ordered "Counsel Orly Taitz ... to pay $20,000 to the United States, through the Middle District of Georgia Clerk's Office, within thirty days of the date of this Order as a sanction for her misconduct in violation of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure." Land's decision stated:
"The Court finds that counsel's conduct was willful and not merely negligent. It demonstrates bad faith on her part. As an attorney, she is deemed to have known better. She owed a duty to follow the rules and to respect the Court. Counsel's pattern of conduct conclusively establishes that she did not mistakenly violate a provision of law. She knowingly violated Rule 11. Her response to the Court's show cause order is breathtaking in its arrogance and borders on delusional. She expresses no contrition or regret regarding her misconduct. To the contrary, she continues her baseless attacks on the Court."

I already said I am not a "Birther"
If you want to know what I do find a bit odd... as I said in a previous post, I was born in Ancon, Canal Zone, Panama. I have a birth certificate. I am a US Citizen. If I were to take a picture of my birth certificate and scan it, there would be no anomalies. If you were to look at it, you would see that it is the original.
This whole issue could easily be put to rest by showing the birth certificate,
An original birth certificate is needed in most states just to get a Driver's License. In the state of South Carolina you can not even use a copy, it must be the original.
Certified copies of these records may be issued to authorized individuals and used for such diverse purposes as school entry, passports, Social Security participation, driver’s licenses, employment, sports participation, survivor’s benefits, proof of property rights, and other needs.
Birth Certificates must be original or certified by a
Board of Health or Bureau of Vital Statistics within
the U.S.
Certified U.S. Issued Birth Certificate or Certified Abstract
Certified original birth certificate or certified abstract.
The following items are acceptable but must be Original or a Certified Copy
Computer Certification is an abstract of the original birth certificate and is accepted as legal proof of birth and citizenship. It measures 8 ½? x 11".
There are several laws that require the department to collect personal information from an applicant: * Name and Date of Birth (Section 56-1-80 and 56-1-90)
* Social Security Number (Section 56-1-90)
* Citizenship (Section 56-1-40(7) and 56-1-80)
* Residency (Section 56-1-40(7) and Section 56-1-80(c)

The above comes right off the SC DMV website, feel free to click the link and read about all the requirements that you and I would need to meet in order to get a Drivers License in the state of South Carolina. So why is it wrong that a President should not meet the standard for acquiring a Driver's License if he plans on holding the highest office in the Country? That is some flawed logic to me.
You may provide any document from the Proof of Citizenship/Proof of Identify, Name and Date of Birth section on Form MV93 Checklist for First Time Issuance of Driver’s License, Beginner’s Permit or Identification Card.
If you do not have a birth certificate and wish to obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate, contact State Office of Vital Records at the Department of Heath and Environmental Control (DHEC).
In August, 1961, two announcements allegedly showing a “native” birth for Barack Obama were published in Hawaii’s two primary newspapers, the Sunday Advertiser and the Honolulu Star. For more than three years since Obama engaged his unvetted candidacy for the presidency, many of his supporters have mistakenly lauded these blurbish announcements as the "holy grail" of proof that he was born in the state of Hawaii.
However, a detailed investigation of the history and procedures used by Hawaii’s municipal health department, and its relationship with the newspapers, shows that not only was it a matter of official policy that Obama’s birth would have been announced in the paper regardless of where he was born, the information used to publish the announcements is not even confirmed through any eye-witness, medical authority or hospital representative in the state.

I had the respect of not referencing a liberal blog to back up my arguments, why don't you do the same and actually find a legitimate source that proves this fact? Or maybe it would be easier to provide an example of a foreign born child being listed in one of those newspapers announcements at the time.
I'm not interested in what a biased blog has to say. Get some credible sources, thanks.edit on 7-7-2011 by Southern Guardian because: (no reason given)

The old familiar "sting" of last resort... Labeling coupled with bias claims. I realize you're a fixture in these threads, so I expected more. My fault for singling you out. It's obvious you're not up to par. Perhaps when CNN, MSN, and Fox News decide they want to stop catering to special interest groups you'll finally get your wish. Until then...
Someone sure is (wrong)..... Box 7E of his long form BC clearly shows an "X" in the section indicating that he was born inside the city limits - whereas your article clearly implies he wasn't. This just happened to be the first thing I checked - did you fact check this article at all?
