This Just In: Barack Obama is Barack Obama
Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign says it’s out to fight the smears, and it’s off to a good start, making the candidate’s birth certificate public.
While it’s ridiculous that it would even be an issue, releasing the document helped clear up a trio of rumors about the Democratic nominee:
- That Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii
- That his middle name isn’t Hussein, but Muhammad
- That his real name is Barry, not Barack (the implication being that he rejected a traditional American name in favor of an “African” one)
Rumors #1 and #3 are attempts to reinforce morons’ fears that Obama is not “American” enough to be president … rumor #2 is just strange. How is the latter any worse than … forget it. Looking for logic here is an exercise in futility.
In any case, just in case you’re curious, Obama’s birth certificate - as requested by The National Review, and posted by DailyKos - appears below:

Sorry, but Hawaii didn’t have a laser printers in 1961. The Obama “birth certificate” is a forgery. Obama was born in 1961.

This document has no embossed seal.
The Race should read:Negro in 1961
This document has no office seal and the date stamp is illegible.
Obama cites Kapiolani Medical Center as his birth hospital. No doctor has been identified and no nurses have been noted. the birth of a black child to a white woman in 1961 would have stood out in any hospital.
Circumstantial eveidence casting doubt on his birthplace is to encumbersome to be ignored.
He has sequestered his Grandmother and avoids the commenting on the period he spent in Africa getting in touch with his ‘roots’ as a grown young man. All of the influences are socialist in the best light and radical in the worst.
Is this why Hillary has just ’suspended’ her campaign? Mr. Obama is absolutely, to use his term, ‘unvetted’ by all authoritative, investigative media.
Why have we allowed our forefathers to be demonized in the Democratic Party? Why is the party casting off traditions and values that gave rise to the great nation we are and pushing moral reletavism and disdain for our Judeo-christian heritage?
Too bad.
Why are the only references to his background taken directly from his fictional, personal auto biographies?

Why is his birth certificate number covered in ink, but not his mother’s???? Is anyone afraid that someone might find out that the number doesn’t exist?

This is NOT the original birth certificate, but a copy of certification printed out in 2007. So of course it is on a laser printer!
The seal and the recorder’s stamp is on the BACK of the document.
And no, it should not read Negro as the race of the birth father. First, Hawaii was not like the racist South in 1961. And it allowed the parent(s) to “self-declare” their race. So if
wrote “African” that is what the state of Hawaii recorded.
The Obama campaign orginally redacted the Certificate number because it was unsure of the number’s confidentiality. It has since released the number, 151 1961 - 010641.

You people are extremely ignorant and should be ashamed of yourselves for the things that escape your tongues! Obama is not a fake! All of you are just trying to make excuses and find reasons to turn people away from him! Go to church and get on the right path! He is half African- American and half Caucasian! And he is our president who is trying his best to help us no matter how someone feels towards him!
