What Does an Authentic Hawaiian Birth Certificate Look Like?

Another claim about Obama circulating on the internet concerns whether or not he is actually eligible to run for the Presidency. Once again the Obama campaign has bungled a matter that should be fairly easy to resolve by ponying up a copy of Obama’s birth certificate. Here is what first appeared at Daily Kos and is now on the Obama fear the smear site.

bo_birthcert.jpg

This is not a “Birth Certificate.” The title alone is troublesome. I am looking at the Birth Certificates for my wife and me. We were born in Missouri. The documents state, “Certificate of Live Birth.” I check my son’s, who was born in the District of Columbia. It also states, “Certificate of Live Birth.”

Barack’s campaign is offering up a “CERTIFICATION.” That’s different. A normal Certificate also includes:

1. No attending physician signature or license number
2. No address for the attending physician or hospital
3. No parent signature
4. No parent DOB or age of parent or parent place of birth.
5. Father’s race would not be “African”, that is country of origin. Race would be black or Negro (1960’s)
6. Was this a single birth or multiple birth.
7. No Registrars name or signature.

Can anyone out there in blog land come up with a copy of what a legitimate Hawaiian birth certificate circa 1960-62 would look like?

So what is Barack hiding? Can we get a straight, clear answer?

This is it.

Definitive proof that you’ve flipped your nut.

If your parents didn’t go back and burn your BC after they realized you were hopeless, then go back and review yours. All of the info aforementioned is always on a state BC.

Don’t you need your actual birth certificate to get a U.S. Passport?

Comment by Dawn | 2008-06-13 00:27:40

no you just need a certification which is what that is and is why it has so little info

Comment by salliort | 2008-06-13 13:23:53

My certification of birth from California was a postcard prior to 1970.

Now it is similar to the one shown for Obama.

Certifications and birth certificates are two separate forms.

Comment by Jennifer | 2008-11-03 14:44:08

I was born in California in 1960 and by no means is my birth certificate a post card. In fact my original birth certificate is basically a black back ground with white font.

 

Comment by steve | 2009-04-10 16:41:58

The term Birth Certificate and Certificate Of Live Birth are the same thing. The order of the words Birth and Certificate are switched around. Are you sincerely suggesting that the meaning of the terms are different based on which word comes first? Do you honestly believe that? Where do you draw the line when it comes to thinking for yourself? Are the terms Driver’s License and Motor Vehicle Operator’s Permit the same thing? if you say no, then you are out in left field.

Comment by Mindy | 2009-05-04 11:36:02

You can’t register your kid for school with a certificate of live birth. The registar’s office will only accept an actual birth certificate, so will the passport office and the Department of Transportation. They are, in fact, two different forms.
You cannot get a social security number with a certificate of live birth.

Hi friends. Just reading about the birth certificate. It may be some kind of registration. You may get a registration also with a birth cert. It does seem an official document either has a seal OR raised seal that is directly the paper raised itself. I have many birth cert. for my family. They are usually certified from the dept. of health or registrar. This paper seems like a registration. A registration CANNOT be used for ID. I know because my son has one. It says it right on the one he has.All the birth cert. I have are more or less the same .This does not look like any I have. Most cert. ask the country of origin. There are quite a few boxes to fill out. The Doctor always signs that it is true and he witnesses the birth. Years ago a cert. could be issued a week later. Because children were born at home. Since he was born in ‘61 I believe that is not a very old one. I know a copy can not be used at all for anything important where you have to prove such as social security. It is possible that a midwife signs too.

Comment by ben franklin | 2008-09-15 03:22:25

Not true, if that doc is genuine with a raised or multi-colored seal of issuing state, county or city, file date within a year of birth, place of birth (meaning “state” in the U.S., and child’s name, then it is proof of U.S. citizenship; provided the child’s parents are heads of foreign state, diplomats, or invading hostile army.

Anyway, I doubt it highly, but, say Barack Obama WAS born in Kenya… IRRELEVANT, according to wikipedia, Barack Obama Sr never divorced his previous Kenyan wife, so Barack Obama was born out of wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother and a child born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 301(g) INA, as made applicable by Section 309(c) INA if the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the child’s birth, and if the mother had previously been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year. There are no retention requirements for said child. Case closed. I, however, doubt that there would be any Obama passport records to be snooped into, if a genuine certified Hawaiian birth certificate hadn’t been submitted to Passport Services. The State Dept is sort of picky about things like that.

Ben, John McCain has had to answer these questions to the court. Twice, and both his parents are Americans.

 

Comment by Cele | 2008-10-15 02:42:33

One more addition to your statement, the law further states the mother must have spent 5 years past the 14th year of age in the USA to have this priveledge of having a child that can be a US citizen yet born on foreign soil. I read that Obama’s mother was 18 years old when she had him. If true she was unmarried and in an inner racial relationship of a black foreigner, our culture of the day would have been damning towards her. Hawaii may have been more acceptable but her motives would have been clear, have a legitmate child at the least and in Hawaii who would question whether the father was still married in Kenya or not? She could not have credibility in Kenya, perhaps even facing death by religious law.

In Kenya they see him as a native son, children sing him songs, they chant his name in unison and are proud that one of their own is so powerful in the USA. His first cousin is a Marxist who studied in East Germany on scholarship and then went to jail for a coup on the government in 1982 for 8 years.

In 2006 Obama took a US tax dollar trip to Kenya and spent 6 days with his cousin running for president. There is much on this trip to know. You Tube has videos as well. Kenya wrote a complaint letter about his “lectures” about their government. It was pointed out that in criticizing their government and promoting the re-election of his cousin as well as donating $1 million dollars to the campaign that Obama had violated the Logan Act.

Obama violated the Logan Act on his summer trip to Iraq when he asked the Iraqi officials to delay troop withdrawal until after the elction. One month ago the Iraqi government made this known and filed a strong concern and asked for understanding and clarification as to why Obama asked such a thing? They also confirmed that this matter was the reason for Obama and Petrais having argument on that trip. Where is the senate to investigate this? Where is the media to make this known to the American people? Finally The Washington Times writes the story Oct. 12th on his Marxist cousin and today the Obama supporters are complaining that Obama is called a Marxist but no headline story on it at all. His travel there violated his granted visa acording to Kenya officials expecting a senatorial visit.

His cut backs on spending as a first priority is to cut foreign spending outside the USA because we can no longer afford to help others. This was reported today. I want to know his economic plan to cut what aid to what countries and what new money will flow to Africa and Indonesia? Obama has completely followed a playbook for many years. The real issue is who wrote it? and for what purpose? Who is Obama? Messiah or Anti-christ? Ask Glenn Beck.

Who cares what his policies are. Who wants someone in the whitehouse that either is so stupid that he doesn’t know the people he associates with or knows and lies about it…just like he is lying about his birth certificate.

Comment by Lyn | 2008-11-03 10:22:11

We sure don’t want a republican in the white house after they ran our country into the ground! How stupid would that be! And by the way, McCain is so stupid he can’t even use a computer!

Comment by Jennifer | 2008-11-03 15:33:23

If you are talking about the current state of our economy then you might want to realize that there are both Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

I suppose you think that the rest of the world’s economic turmoil is also the republican’s fault?

That’s an assholish thing to say bot.

McCain is a good man. He can use a freaking computer. Look into it…he was tortured and it hurts him to move his arms to use the keyboard and mouse.

I’m not republican, but you need to realize your hero was in the senate doing NOTHING to help us.

Comment by Jenna | 2008-12-08 03:00:12

BTW Sally Logue, McCain can’t use a computer because he can’t lift his arms to do so for any length of time due to his injuries in the Viet Nam war.

But now let me ask you—-since when do we have 57 states in the USA??? Not only did Obama say it once—but TWICE!!!

And WHY DOESN’T Obama produce his true birth certificate? What has been produced is not a true birth cert. Just check with some Hawaiians as to what their birth certs. look like. And no where in the U.S., for any birth certs., is information omitted such a what is omitted on the supposed Obama birth cert. Signatue from the attending Dr. (midwife etc) is a must, as is parent’s signature, date of birth etc. And as far as his father’s race goes, back in the early 60’s, the race would have definitely been “Negro”. Please do a little searching—you most certainly will find all of this to be true. My concern is this, that Barrack has not come to the forefront with an official birth certificate to quiet this all down—-put the people at rest. Now think, why wouldn’t someome come forward…..

I truly am worried about the next four years.

Comment by louisa | 2008-12-08 14:39:30

Lyn — John McCain cannot use a computer, due to injuries he’d sustained from a plane crash, and subsequent years of torture he’d endured as a POW, in Viet Nam.
When broken bones aren’t set promptly and properly, they tend to mend themselves, but usually in an irregular manner.
It’s quite understandable how disabilities so often go unappreciated by most people…unless/until they have to endure their own, or that of a loved one.
I know this, because I used to be blind.

I am a technologist who has been in the business for 34 years. This is a relatively recently created document. The typeface did not exist on the old hammer and platen type of printer chains in the 1950s and 1960s. Of that, I am sure.

Obama must resolve this prior to the election. This is clearly not an official document.

Comment by darth | 2008-10-24 12:04:01

doesn’t matter as the form was published 11/01 and is laser, acording to the form itself. Obviously someone requested this document. An actual birth certificate as much more information including the hospital or location born, size and weight, doctor’s name and signature, etc. I was born in 1956 and my birth certificate is full of information. This document is not a birth certificate and I am amazed that if the campaign wanted to release one they wouldn’t have gotten an actual birth certificate. Obama should have one at home.

Hey Ben Franklin:

You said: “Anyway, I doubt it highly, but, say Barack Obama WAS born in Kenya… IRRELEVANT, according to wikipedia, Barack Obama Sr never divorced his previous Kenyan wife, so Barack Obama was born out of wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother”

But the pertinent US law at the time of Barack Jr.’s birth was this:
http://www.americanlaw.com/citabrd.html

“In the case of a child born to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent, the U.S. citizen parent now had only to be physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions prior to the child’s birth for 10 years, at least 5 of which were after the age of 14.”

Barack’s mom didn’t meet these qualifications to pass US citizenship to Barack if he were born in the Coastal Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.

 
 
 

Comment by vera | 2008-09-22 02:07:42

Yes you do need to show a certificate of live birth to get a passport. I showed a certificate of birth and was told that is NOT a birth certificate, that it must be one of live birth with the Dr.’s signature and a raised stamp from the state. I was further told if there is no Dr.’s signature (such as born at home) then there is an attached document with witnesses signatures.

Comment by Janet | 2008-10-25 13:21:07

I recently flew with my 18 month old and had to show his birth certificate. The only thing I was given by the county where I had him (which I had to pay $27 for) says “Certification of Birth” on the top, no doctors names, etc. I have a “keepsake” one from the hospital that has all the other info on it but was told it was not a real one and I had to apply for the real one from the county.

Comment by Idiocracy08 | 2008-11-19 11:55:22

You can travel and get passports as a US citizen. That doesn’t mean you were natural born citizen, which is the requirement to be POTUS.

From the U.S. Passport Application:

APPLICANTS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES: Submit a previous U.S. passport or certified birth certificate.

If you were born in the United States, you NEED a Birth CERTIFICATE to obtain a passport.

No, a birth certificate is not required to get a passport. For a child you can simply file a letter of no record. It’s done on a State level, yet it’s is easier than you would think to get it!

Comment by Northwest rain | 2008-06-12 23:30:02

Correct —

There are guidelines for birth records to be used by registrars throughout the US.

To make a long story short — in Genealogy we are taught how to search for records and what exactly constitutes a valid birth record. It wasn’t until the 1920s that all states were required to collect birth records in some sort of uniform fashion.

You can do a Google Search for “Genealogy birth records” — which will go into detail about what information you can expect to find in birth records.

There are also death records — and again there standard data collection forms.

If Obama’s parents were married there should be some sort of marriage record.

Larry is absolutely correct about the information contained in birth records.

Obama’s paper trail began with his birth — and if his parents were indeed married then this would be another part of the Obama paper trail.

Google: Genealogy birth records

Comment by Lou | 2008-06-13 03:14:09

In those days they most always put the time born.
Where’s the foot prints? I mean back then they had footprints, time born and the hospital.
Like it wouldn’t usually say Mother and Fathers race. It’d just be their name. In those days they didn’t put race..

This looks like it was typed on check printing paper. with a Hawaii cut and paste seal. He’s real good at cutting and pasting as we all know. Then he glued it on and printed it on check printing paper. Gee, even the illegals in L.A. can do better than that.

Another faux move?

Mine doesn’t have a footprint on it and I was born in 1955, California. It has a signature and raised seal though.

Yes it did. But he’s still alive so if he doesn’t want to produce his birth certificate because it may list his father as being Arabic or even Muslim, then you will just have to wait until Obama is deceased to get that informaton. Come on now, Mr/Ms “Geneologist”, you know better than that.

In the meantime, if you don’t want to vote for Obama, then don’t!

Comment by timepassages | 2008-06-13 10:23:58

Comment by Jonah | 2008-06-13 10:49:34

What utter nonsense - the race of his father was clearly African, not Arabic. That is a physical/genetic thing that is written all over the face of the child.

Not sure if the religion of the parents is listed, but even if it is, that would be no surprise - we know that his his largely absentee father was raised a Muslim in Kenya, but was not much of a believer in any religion.

Comment by SergeiRostov | 2008-06-13 16:07:49

Sorry, no. Geneticists have known - and have been trying to tell us - for decades that there is no genetic basis for the concept of “race.”

And you can’t tell the race of a person just by looking at them; you only think that you can, because it makes your brain “feel better” to be able to put everything into a category.

Not sure if the religion of the parents is listed, but even if it is, that would be no surprise - we know that his his largely absentee father was raised a Muslim in Kenya, but was not much of a believer in any religion.

And yet his son was registered in school as a Muslim.
(Was THAT a surprise to you?)

Comment by inodimwitliberalnomo | 2008-06-13 16:41:50

You don’t know anything about the Obama mother or father or grandmother except as spoken by Obama himself. “Who yo Daddy” rings true (Obama does not know) his daddy could be Rev Wright or Louis Farrakahn for all he knows. Where’s the beef. Any other federal job would require proof of birth, age, gender, mother, father and place of birth at the least with certified doctors testifying this to be the facts. Obama is not a citizen of The United States of America (not one of the 50 US States but probably one of the 57 States of Islam). Obama is not a citizen and is not of age (he does not know when he was born or where). Obama is no citizen of Hawaii (Hawaii became a state in 1959 supposerdly Obama as born in 60) or the USA.

Comment by appalled | 2008-11-03 13:33:36

Well, I don’t know where to start here. First of all, I find it hard to believe that in this country, we don’t even make our hopeful leaders present proof of birth? I mean, really guys? You think the Democratic party hasn’t checked this out? Besides, nodimwitliberal, you should check your facts before submitting such a comment. For instance, Obama was born in 1961 and not 1960, as you claim.

 
 

Comment by Pam | 2008-09-26 13:40:54

Just to remind you, a lot of Arabs live in Africa, which is a big continent and not popluated with just blacks. Osama Bin Laden is also from Africa (Saudi Arabia)and he is not considered “black”. Although there may be no genetic basis for race, I do not think “African” could be considered a “race”. Otherwise “American” would also be a “race” and “European” would be a “race” and so on. When a census is taken race is not indicated by continent or even country of origin.

Comment by This American | 2008-10-10 12:39:19

Regardless of anything else, this Certification of Birth is NOT!!! a Birth Certificate. As many here have stated the information, state to state, may be different in format, but NOT different in the content. All US birth certificates must contain the name and DOB of the Parent(s), the name and signature of the person performing the birth, the name of the hospital or a witness if it was a home birth. My mom had 11 kids, born in NY, CA, OR and Panama and ALL information required is IDENTICAL. This is NOT a Birth Certificate that Barry presents, it is a Certification of Birth, using info that Barry’s mom gave to the state. Total FRAUD as is the man himself. Last I heard, he doesn’t HAVE a US passport, he has an Indonesian passport!!

Sorry Charlie, er Centrocitta. This is no longer a private citizen’s record but a question of historic and US Consitutional relevance. It must come out in court.

There was no seal! Its not real.

Comment by rosie | 2008-06-13 10:00:00

I went and looked at my birth certificate and the certificates of my two children.

My kids still have their original live birth certificates and have all the information Larry posted. But mine, since I only had the hospital record, is a copy I had to apply for from the state I was born in, in order to get a passport. I was surprised how little information there is on it. It has even less information on it than the one shown by Obama.

Believe me, I did get it from the state, it has been good enough to use for a passport and all DMV records, and doesn’t look anything like what they released in 1962, the year I was born (and by the way, my son’s birth certificate is on a totally different style paper, and he was born two years after my daughter in the same county).

We all can’t have our original birth certificates if our parents kept them or lost them, and getting a copy is very commonplace. And if, even my kids can have two completely different birth certificates from the same country, only two years apart, then seems pretty hard to find any consistency on these things.

(Just so you know, I am a die hard Hillary voter/supporter who is NOT voting for Obama.)

Comment by Independent votes Republican | 2008-10-20 00:14:40

but does it have a stamped or embossed seal?

Mine and my daughters aren’t the originals but they still have a seal on them. Mine is from Virginia, and my daughter’s is from Florida; one has a foil seal, the other is embossed. Both have way more information than this one.

 

Comment by Citizens For a Free Seattle | 2008-11-15 16:30:33

“it has been good enough to use for a passport and all DMV records, ”

When you begin to conceive of the paper trail that has led Obama to where he is now, you can see it. From 1911 to 1972, Hawaii permitted people over the age of one year to apply for a birth certificate. Many people were born at home; and did not have a birth certificate from a hospital. Perhaps O’s mother wanted to ensure that O had the benfits of US citizenship and applied for one of those ‘at home’ deals once she and Barack were back in HI (meaning the hospital and attending physician, et al, may not be listed on that document!). Then, all other ‘official state’ documents - like the laser copy Certification that we se on Fight the Smears (Obama’s campaign erroneously, or perhaps deceitfully called that copy his ‘original’ birth certificate and the site - http://www.fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate still calls this “Barack Obama’s Official Birth Certificate” which is itself a deceit in that this document only points to an underlying document that Dr. Fukino has admitted to having seen. And yet Obama will not voluntarily release this record.

Now to all those that say, he’s gotten a passport and security clearances - all of those facts lie on this one problematic house of cards - Obama’s original HI birth certificate may not list a hospital where he was born nor an attending doctor - and so what are we to believe about the story that hewas born in either of two different hospitials in Honolulu, or about the notion that he was born in the Coastal Hospital in Mombassa, Kenya?

The birth certificate on D. Kos is a fabrication. First of all, it is a version from 2001, as you can see from the bottom of the document.
Documents in 1961 were either handwritten or typed by a Smith Corona, not by laser arial font 12. Obama’s name was not Barack at birth, he changed his name in later life.

It is so obvious a recreation of what may be on the document but cannot be trusted till the original is presented without omissions or alterations.
What is Obama hiding from the American people?

Comment by salliort | 2008-06-13 14:00:43

Good question, Nobama.

I’m sure that if we saw the original certificate or the certification, that his father’s race would clearly be listed as “Negro.” That was the term used then for anyone who was of African origen.

It would be typed on a typewriter, but not necessarily a Smith Corona. It could have been an IBM Executive Electric. It would not have been the IBM Selectric, though because that was introduced days before Obama’s birth.

Clearly there is something wrong inside the Obama campaign.

He’s hiding his Kenyan birth, which makes him ineligible for the American Presidency.

I have ancestory.com. I have stayed up very late nights looking everywhere for marriage and divorce records for his mother. There is none. Birth records for her parents and her but not the kid. Not even under his adopted name. Nor at her death did she use either married name. It listed her with the maiden name. Noticed that the only place that didn’t have a search option was in Africa (well imangine that) Something really stinks with this whole obama man. I know how it works. I gotta a cat. When he has something stinky to hide he covers it up.

Isn’t there someon in Hawaii to just check
his school records for a copy of the original
birth certificate?

You could not get into school without a
copy of the original birth certificate. PERIOD!

Comment by Peter | 2008-06-13 11:38:56

No true. Mine is a certified copy of birth record and does not have physicain data, no hospital data, no parent signature, my fathers age/birth date is missing, no race etc. The only item on that list mine has is #7. I was born in CA.

My child has a certificate of live birth and has 2,3,4 and 7, but not 1,5 or 6. Also born in CA.

Not just each state, but counties can have different data, but missing the registrars number is glaring. The campaign is making itself look incompetent by not clearing this up and quickly (not that I care what they do)

Comment by Tired in TN | 2008-09-22 22:58:05

I to was born in CA. 1965. All boxes have data in them. Including what type of work each parent did. And for the person above…He wouldnt have Negro on his certificate. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from Kenya , his father’s family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro).

 

Comment by This American | 2008-10-10 13:07:33

Peter,
Where in CA? I have mine, from 1955 and it is identical to my daughter’s in 1992 and 1992. All boxes are filled because ALL information was given. There are 7 sections and although some from other states, like NY and OR, are in a different format from mine, ALL give the same information. My mom still has the originals of all 11 children at her home.
That info is on the Certificate of Live Birth ON the State Certification of Vital Records. They are 1) This Child 2) Place of Birth 3)Father of Child ( includes DOB and State of birth) 4) Mother of Child (same as 3) 5)Parent’s Certification (signatures) 6) Certification of Birth (signed by the Dr and the Hospital BC Coordinator and 7) Local Registrar (signed and date stamped) Barry CANNOT produce this, because one doesn’t exist!!!

Comment by roseeriter | 2008-06-13 03:00:56

I recently had to send a copy of my birth certificate to get on a housing list. Could not find it. So I called the Dept of records in my State and ordered it.

It does not look like the original one, but I do think both had a seal of some sort, or water mark. Trying to tell by a picture on the internet is deceptive and unprovable in my opinion.

Nobama needs to disclose and basically answer the questions.

If they want us to shut up they need to do the right thing. Answer the questions and not with little young mean obambots like the ones on Larry King putting No Quarter down. (Larry you did get a mention ON Larry King last night)

Comment by roseeriter | 2008-06-13 03:05:23

And you have to send or show a picture legal ID, SS# and proof of residence/address if I recall correctly.

So how did Kos do that?

Comment by roseeriter | 2008-06-13 03:10:42

And I also got a wallet size birth certificate. Even that has a state SEAL and a signature and a RED additional number on it.

It should also mention the State and Division of Vital Records Administration.

 

Comment by tj coleman | 2008-06-13 10:03:40

You can order one on line without all that information. I just got mine and my husbands. You just have to have the correct information that is on the BC. I cannot remember if I had to put my DL in or not(number only) Go to vital statistics for Hawii and you can obtain the info needed.

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-06-13 00:21:03

One more time to try to post this.

I did not think there was anything to this story until seeing this document.

This certificate is what the Hawaii DOH calls a “Late” Certificate of Birth, and it is not an original Birth Certificate recorded at the date of actual birth.

In Hawaii, anyone can claim they were born there and submit the evidence years after the birth to obtain a late “Certificate of Birth”.

“Who is Eligible to Apply for Late Registration? As provided by law (HRS §§338-15, 338-29.5), the following persons may apply for late registration: Any person born in Hawaii who is one year old or older and whose birth has not been previously registered in Hawaii, or that person’s parent, guardian, next of kin, or older person acting for that person and having knowledge of the facts of birth may request the registration of a late certificate of birth.

Late registration, registration one year or more after the date of the event’s occurrence, of certificates are permitted subject to evidentiary requirements.

Perhaps Obama had his typical white grandmother sign an affidavit to submit as evidence of Hawaii birth.

Why wasn’t there an original certificate filed at the time of birth? Was Barak born in a hospital? The Obots think he was born in a manger.

An original Hawaii Certificate of Birth has the actual place of birth, i.e. home, hospital, or manger, and the physical address (no PO boxes please)

An original also has the signiture of the attending physician, or other designated attendee.

The physical addresses of both parents are also listed on an original Certificate of Birth.

So, Barak has some splainin to do. What evidence did he submit to obtain this “late” Certificate of Birth.

The plot thickens…..

Larry is absolutely correct. I just checked my birth certificate and another in my family. Both, from different states, have all of the same checkpoints Larry mentioned and both state, “Certificate of Live Birth.” There is something awfully strange about someone who hides their birth certificate.

 

Comment by ProBush.com | 2008-06-20 14:12:40

At the bottom of the cert;

“This COPY serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding”

We assume this to not be the original but a copy sent for years later at which time when the original was probably lost.

What we need to be looking for is what Authentic “Copies” of Hawaiian COB’s look like today.

Comment by Greg | 2008-07-28 08:10:32

I build websites and work with digital photos all the time. One thing I noticed is if you add text to a picture, save it a JPG file, and then zoom in on it, you’ll see distortion around the perimeter of the text. In the close-up of Obama’s birth certificate you can see distortion around the letters. This indicates that the text was added in a digital photo program. This certificate is NOT a copy of a paper document. It’s simply a digital background and then someone added the text to it. It’s a complete fake.

Also notice the following:
1. The text on the Hawaiian logo is more distorted then the rest of the text on the page. This is because this was copied from a low quality copy of a real birth certificate.
2. No physician name or signature.
3. No hospital name or address.
4. No parents signatures.
5. No parents DOB, place of birth, or age.
6. Father’s “race” would be black or negro, not African.
7. No Registrar’s name or signature.
8. No seal that this is a “valid” birth certificate from Hawaii.

Obama is NOT a US citizen and is trying to hide it! If you can’t see this then you need help.

I was born in Honolulu,Hawaii in 1961 and my Birth Certificate doesn’t look like Obama’s. It has my Dad listed under my name,his birthplace,age,and occupation,then my mother listed next,her birthplace,age,occupation and her maiden name. Both have race listed. There are 23 BOXES for this information to be filled out. At the bottom of the page has the Director of Health signature and the Registrar General signature,dated and has a raised seal.

In regards to the 1961 Hawaii Birth Certificate;
Is this seal on the front or back of your birth certificate?

 
 

Comment by Karen | 2008-10-29 09:13:32

Ok, I was born in NJ in 1960 and MY “Birth Certificate” actually says, “Office of Vital Statistics”,then under that, “Certification of Birth”. My children’s, all born in FL past 1980, say the same.

BUT, mine and my children’s ALL have a “Date of Issue”, are SIGNED by the State Registrar AND clearly have a State Seal stamp.

So, while I can’t say the phrase “Certification of birth” does NOT mean the same as “Birth Certificate” (mine and my children’s prove this), I CAN say, no signature, no seal and no Date of Issue are the things which truly bring this document into question.

 

Comment by truth | 2008-11-06 16:01:36

ok first the rumor was obama was born in kenya then went to hawaii and got a birth certificate tht said hawaii on it but this has to be untrue because to get to hawaii u need a passport or birth certificate

 

Comment by me | 2008-11-22 00:44:18

yeah i agree with Jody

it seems like the writer of this article is saying that Black isn’t the same as African-American.

of course they’re going to put African on his birth certificate! Obama Sr was from Africa, yeah, his skin is black, but they would just be generalizing all blacks if they put Black instead of African. not all blacks are african or african-american. they have to be specific.

a generalizing “black” would be used for skin color, not race.

whatever, he won. he’s our president. i’m tired of settling down paranoid republicans.

Comment by theone | 2009-04-16 22:43:26

If only laser jet printers were really available back in 1961, I was born same time mine was typed out, but you know getting a copy of an original would cost $20.00, his logic is to spend millions on fighting the process rather than showing a copy of the original, When someone finds that ink jet or laser jet printer that printed the above birth certificate back in 1960 let me know because it is going to be very valuable, as no one knew anything about them back then.

Comment by Mary | 2008-06-12 22:43:25

There’s no notary seal or signature , either.

Means it’s not an official birth certificate issued by the state.

Comment by Isolde | 2008-06-12 23:03:34

It is an abstract of the birth record. It is not a certified copy if it does not have the issuing agency seal or certification. It is not a copy of an original entry in the birth records of Oahu county, city of Honolulu, or state of Hawaii. It can be a valid abstract but it does not contain all information of a recorded birth record. It is not a copy, it may be an abstract of certain information from a birth record. The question would be why an abstract of partial information is released and who made the abstract.

Comment by WildChild | 2008-06-13 00:26:47

But this is substantive. The constitution requires one to be a natural born citizen to be president. It is not to much to ask to see an original birth certificate or a copy of that original birth certificate to establish the nature of BOBO’s citizenship. The sooner BOBO does it, the sooner we can put this behind us.

I got my boyfriend’s kid’s 1990 birth certificate recently in Washington State and it had about as much info as the supposed certification for Obama. I was told that one of the reasons they now do not put alot of info on the certificates is to prevent identity theft. But the decision on what to put on what they give you when you request a birth certificate (certification or certificate of live birth?) seems to be determined by individual counties.

I got my own early 1960’s birth certificate recently from California so I could get a passport. It was called Certificate of Live Birth. It looked like a copy of the original because it had my mother’s signature, attending physician, etc.

Comment by mr. natural | 2008-06-13 05:38:59

So it should be easy enough for Kid Unity to obtain a certified copy of his own birth certificate, if it exists.

It’s not like anyone can assume his identity at this point. No one else has the halo.

Barack is probably hiding his ethnicity. When one comes into America from an american territory or an island they get to choose whether they are caucasian or black. He probably chose caucasian (as many blacks do)in order for better jobs, housing, etc. Can’t let the AA’s find that out!

If it’s a copy it should be certified by the hospital record department as authentic. The NJ one I had available to look at did include father’s (but not mother’s) occupation and place of work.

Comment by ginamc | 2008-06-12 22:56:17

I recently just got a copy of my birth certificate from and it also had the doctor’s signature, and my footprints, handprints and fingerprints.

Uh oh, Barry, you’re in deep do-do!

What state are you from. The birth certificate comes from the state. They ink your feet in the hospital….I have a birth certificate from the state and a hospital birth certificate.

 

Comment by Teakwood | 2008-06-13 01:49:27

Mine has all kinds of info time hospital, Place doctor both parents, the works…foot print…a kites foot print awww gee :)

Comment by Hillary’sSimplytheBest | 2008-06-13 00:06:16

It’s a copy. When enlarged look near the bottom you can see Nov. 8 2007 but in reverse as it’s coming through the back

So why on November 8th 2007 is a copied made?

Most folks keep important papers like a BC at the “home office”. He is already a US senator and that requires some backround info like a BC?

If BO traveled to Pakistan he needed a passport and that would require producing the original or certified copy to obtain one.

Unless the original passport he had to travel to Jakarta was issued by a different country his parents would still need to present one. Although his parents were custodial at 6 to 10 years of age what, what passport was used to enter Indoniesa?

Just askin.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-13 01:52:48

Of course, which is why people are silly to doubt that he’s a citizen.

It is a sign that people find his background odd, though. Exotic is the word.

 
 

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-06-13 06:56:03

I’m from Texas, 1960. Hospital BC’s were verified by the state. Same info was required. date, time and location of birth. Parents and attending OB. weight, length, gender, race of infant. Mine is a little different as I’m a twin and it lists the name and sex of my twin. Also because I was born at a Catholic Hospital it lists the religion of parents. Hand and footprints which I believe was standard practice. Also has state seal. I recently applied for a passport for my daughter.
Had to get an official state copy of hers ( 1990 ) it lists the birthplace of both parents, a reference number in the county records and has a raised state seal ( Indiana ) These are required for state health agencies, schools, etc….

 
 

Comment by SueB. | 2008-06-12 23:50:39

The State of Hawaii Bureau of Vital Statistics or similar dept is where Birth Certificates are kept and where you would go to get a certified copy for identification purposes (ie, driver’s license, passport, etc.)
That piece of paper wouldn’t pass the smell test.

If this is what Obama is presenting as an Hawaiian birth certificate, then it is proof positive that he is a fraud. Is it possible that this is something concocted by the Obama campaign to try to do a “Dan Rather” on this site in general and LJ in particular?

Printer firmware …

Now it’s getting interesting.

A couple of years ago the Electronic Freedom Foundation published proof that several color printer manufacturers were encoding printer serial numbers into the pages they printed.

They began doing this at the behest of the United States Secret Service, to ease the tracing of color printer counterfeit currency.

http://www.eff.org/issues/printers

If you used your credit card to pay for your printer or have registered your printer’s warranty, the serial number is tied directly to you.

Even if you paid cash and gave the Best Buy clerk a phony phone number or zip code, your image could remain on their security camera database forever.

Looks like you’ve finally got a reason to pull that old burqa out of the closet, eh?

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 22:49:24

Is it an abstract of the certificate?

At least since the early 90’s, a full certificate is not always issued, only an abstract.

The original would be on file, though, and certainly available to a US senator.

The nursing staff might have recorded what they were told by Obama’s mother, or father, to explain “african” but I do see why there would be questions.

Comment by AJSHOPE | 2008-06-13 07:28:24

What are you talking about? I got a copy of my birth certificate in 1999 from Ohio and it is literally a copy of the original printed on a half sheet of watermarked, Ohio sealed paper.

Yup - you got that right, Larry. This is an “after-generated” certificate - not the actual BC.

This is what you get when you order a copy for yourself when you’re 20 something and need proof of birth. This is NOT a birth certificate.

Comment by Anee | 2008-06-12 23:44:18

His birth name was not BO it was something else so we immediately know this is a fake document.

Comment by Tired in TN | 2008-09-22 23:05:34

His Birth name was BO. When he was adopted by the step father his records were sealed. Although…like I said above. There is nothing with the adopted name either. In my occupation I have to order birth certifics from years 1940’s and up. What BO is saying is his certificate looks nothing like I receive, they all look like the orginal BC. they are even sealed by a notery so that they are considered a legal document.

Comment by Shainzona | 2008-06-12 23:02:23

This certificate of birth might work for a passport…but it still is not the actual Birth Certificate. It’s “proof” of birth - nothing else.

Oh, also look at the style…it contemporary, not what would have been generated back in 1961.

It’s a state-certified, state-sealed computer printout, which is what they GIVE you when you get your birth certificate, at least now that it’s the 21st Century and all, you know? What did you think, they got out the microfilm? Read the bottom, morons: “This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”

Sheesh.

Comment by POdVet | 2008-06-12 22:38:11

sorry to burst your bubble, official state documents do NOT contain jpeg artifacts as can be clearly seen around all text and the state seal. They have actual forms, not photoshop.

Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!

Comment by Green Eagle | 2008-06-12 23:36:31

I don’t know anything about birth certificates,but I do know something about Photoshop. I have worked in TV art departments for years, and have a pretty good knowledge of how people produce fake documents.

A phony birth certificate manufactured in Photoshop, or more likely Illustrator, would not contain any JPEG artifacts, since it would be created in .PSD or .AI file formats, which are lossless and would contain no artifacts of any kind.

JPEG artifacts might well be introduced by saving the file in a JPG format to decrease file size for placing on the web, but this would also happen if a 20mb or so scanned image of such a document is saved as a compressed JPG.

Learn the facts before subjecting us to your wacky conspiracy theories- you sound like one of those 9/11 people who all seem to have earned graduate degrees in structural engineering overnight.

Comment by WildChild | 2008-06-13 00:03:40

We appreciate you for affirming that the image we are being shown of BOBO’ birth certificate is not credible.

 

Comment by POdVet | 2008-06-13 00:44:05

If it was a scan of an original document there would indeed be uniform jpeg artifacts. but they would NOT be focused around the text and state seal. Also around the seal, if it was real the back ground would be visible in all open(non black) areas, and it is not. And like I said it was obviously a quick and faulty job. If they had taken their time they might have done a better job, but it would still be missing the legally required registrars seal and signature.

But SCANS of documents on a web site will almost certainly have JPEG artifacts if they are JPEGs.

What you saying is the state of Hawaii gives out forgery’s of birth certificates. Yes, we do expect to see a copy of the actual birth certificate. If it is on microphishe and it hasn’t been scanned into a hard drive somewhere then yes they do need to go find it, make a copy of the birth certificate and show it to us. Then we’d like to have the actual microphishe forensically tested for authenticity, since you’ve already given us one forgery.

If it was certified, there would be a notary’s seal and signature.

No; it’s not certified because it bears no seal. It’s a computer printout, period.

Yes; if and only if it has a seal, which it does not.

No attending physician signature or license number (This is acutally not required in many states)
2. No address for the attending physician or hospital (Not needed in most states)
3. No parent signature (Not needed in most states)
4. No parent DOB or age of parent or parent place of birth. (Again not needed in every state)
5. Father’s race would not be “African”, that is country of origin. Race would be black or Negro (1960’s) — (it could be if the person filling it and accepting it doesn’t know better.)
6. Was this a single birth or multiple birth. (Again, not all states require it)
7. No Registrars name or signature. — It might not be a Certified copy of his birth certificate — There are several different types that you can get )

I have done some genealogy for my family and Birth Certificates are different from state to state and even different from cities/towns that people submit to..

For example in Many States if you are adopted you don’t have access to the information on your Birth Certificate and you might not have any of the above on the version you receive.

It can be a valid Certificate, I tried to surf the net to see if I could find a copy of a Birth Certificate from Hawaii — I couldn’t find one.

Comment by Mary | 2008-06-12 22:47:54

That’s the point. It is NOT a certified copy of the original, without the seal or the signature.

Comment by No fan of Obama | 2008-06-12 22:59:57

But it still can be a birth certificate just not a certified birth certificate. And it doesn’t have to have any of the above information on it..

Comment by uhh somehow this notion that I am qualified to be president is uhh uhh ridiculous | 2008-06-12 23:06:00

Again that is correct; however, a copy of the original, actual Certificate of Live Birth can be easily obtained. If the Obama campaign is going to release this information, they should not do so half heartedly and not expect this response. It is very simple, produce the document in it’s entirety.

Comment by No fan of Obama | 2008-06-12 23:09:29

Yup — I looked at the KOS site and this looks like it was stamped Nov 2007 —

It should have come from Obama’s campagin not an pro-obama site.

Comment by Firelight | 2008-06-13 01:09:35

If it is from the Obama campaign, it is bizarre that it would be released to Daily Kos. That is creepy.

I said elsewhere on this thread that I recently went to the county registrar in Washington state and ordered a birth certificate for my boyfriend’s son. The birth was in the 1990s. I was given what looked like an abstract, similar to the one shown for Obama. When I ordered it, I did not have to prove any relation. So maybe anyone could have ordered the one shown for Obama. It may not have come from his campaign.

When I got my own more detailed certificate of live birth (early 1960’s California) I had to send a signed and notarized letter by fax to the county (notary stamp was ink only so you could see it on a fax).

Comment by No fan of Obama | 2008-06-12 22:58:07

LOL no– I am saying that this is just one type of Birth Certificate.

You can go to City/Town hall and asked for a copy of your BC and they will ask you which version you need. There are different Birth Certificates for different applications. For example if you are getting a Passport you need a Long Form with a seal — If you just need one with basic info for an employer or other applications you get the Short form. If you were adopted basically you get one that says basically Yup you were born! and doesn’t give you any information.

Each state has different requirements and can be complicated by *when* you had one.

Short Forms generally are like the the one that is shown above –

Comment by elise | 2008-06-13 01:45:08

Which state are you talking about? I had to replace mine (the original was falling apart so I guess that shows my age). I live in a different state than the state of my birth and they required a notarized statement. The one they sent looked exactly like the original and it was stamped by the state. It had the place and date of birth for both parents as well as my mother’s maiden name. This was last year. I have two cousins born in Hawaii while their father was stationed there. I am going to ask if they have theirs and take a look at it.

I am no Obama supporter but I never heard that he was born in Kenya? IIRC, he was born in Hawaii where his mother lived at the time. IIRC I never heard that his mother traveled to Kenya.

I don’t like Obama very much but I don’t understand the need to have him to be born outside of the US…

Comment by so saddened | 2008-06-13 00:03:23

because if he was born outside the u.s. he’s not a natural born citizen and cannot legally be president.

it’s not a judgment call. it’s in the constitution.

Comment by sleepy | 2008-06-13 00:10:59

You can be born outside of the United States and be a natural born citizen, as long as your citizenship is derived through birth, which Obama’s would have been regardless of where he was born.

There was a similiar question about McCain’s birth a few months ago because he was born in Central America while his father was in service there. Both of his parents were Americans and his father was in the military so I guess the situation is different, but if Obama was in fact born in Kenya of a citizen of that country and an American, I am sure his mother would have had to apply for dual citizenship.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-06-13 07:08:21

McCain was born on a naval base which like embassies are recognized extensions of US soil. The issue is US soil. POTUS must be born on US soil ( native land )

Comment by Centrocitta | 2008-06-13 13:24:08

If McCain did not spend the appropriate amount of time inside the contiguous 50 states, he could not run for president. So your theory that a military base is US soil is bullshit!

Comment by tj coleman | 2008-06-13 16:00:53

ROFLAO.
Troll, babies are born everyday at military installations around the world. They are US SOIL! I am a veteran and know this for a fact. You can go check the constitution also. It will require you to read it though. There is a section specifically for Panama and US installations.
MCcain is a natural born citizen of the US and since he was on US soil the time inside the US does not apply to his case.

Where’s JOHN MCCAIN’S birth certificate? Has anybody actually SEEN it? He SAYS he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, but how do we actually KNOW? What if he was born just outside of it? Where was the hospital EXACTLY? Is he HIDING something that we’ve never seen his birth certificate? What is he hiding?

Has any candidate for President besides Barack Obama ever been required to prominently and publicly display his/her birth certificate to prove they are American (particularly after they have already won the nomination)?

McCain’s birth certificate would have been checked out when he was inducted into the military.

Your asking us to simply trust that BOBO was born when and where he said he was. We’d like to see the guys birth certificate if that’s not too much to ask.

What double standard?? Did you miss the whole Mccain isn’t “natural born” controversy going on since 2000? Is McCain black too? Yes McCain produced his birth certificate, hired a team of lawyers, and once again consulted with them a few months ago.

Did you miss the bill Obama co-sponsored declaring McCain a natural born citizen for the purpose of the presidency? Would such a bill have been necessary if McCain hadn’t already faced these same questions?

You cry racism way too much.

 

Comment by Where's The Tape? | 2008-06-12 22:59:00

James, you are absolutely 100% RIGHT! These idiots in Larry Johnson’s echo chamber are stone-cold tone deaf. Jesus Christ could hand deliver a copy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate and they STILL wouldn’t believe it. NO OTHER Presidential candidate has EVER had to endure this bullshit, and it’s sickening that it’s coming from so-called Democrats (actually, they’re most likely Republicans pretending to be Democrats!).

What I find most curious, too, is that they even need proof that he’s an American citizen. How did he get elected to the Senate if he wasn’t a citizen? It couldn’t happen, but don’t tell these morons that!

And what about John McCain? Is he REALLY an American? Why don’t they clamor to see his birth certificate, too? I think you hit the nail on the head: good ol’ fashioned racism. No, none of these trolls can fathom that a Black man just might be one of them. I wonder what they’re afraid of, but then again the answer is just as obvious: white decline. Gimme a freakin’ break!

PS: Larry Johnson… you are a pathetic piece of shit! You DO NOT deserve to be called an American!

We do care if Obama is a natural born citizen. However, it is quite evident that no matter what “proof” is put forward, there are people out there like the ones who troll this site who will never believe it. There is no way he would even be in the Senate if he wasn’t a US citizen. Think about it!

Also, it’s pretty funny that you should mention “crunching up the Constitution”. Your answer to Hillary — John McCain — is ready to follow Bush’s lead and throw away the Constitution for enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay. He’s pretty upset over the SC’s decision today to allow them to have a real trial. How long before he wants to throw “regular” Americans under the bus and trash our rights? Oh wait… it’s already happening since it’s okay for the government to spy on “regular” Americans and McCain supports that.

I don’t even know why I’m wasting my breath on you, but it really is a tragedy that some people can be so blinded by their own vindictiveness and hate that they can’t see the truth. No one says that you have to vote for Obama, but you don’t have to lie in order to justify it.

Comment by WildChild | 2008-06-13 01:24:22

It isn’t an issue of whatever proof. The daily KOS isn’t an agent of record. Now should BOBO put this document up on his own campaign website then it might be taken seriously but until BOBO is willing to put the matter rest, it won’t rest. To give it the rest you so desperately need we’d like to see an original birth certificate or a notarized copy of the original. It’s really just that simple.

Where’s The Tape?,

Your ill informed rant serves no purpose, I’m surprised you held back the CAPS, lol.

The point is that this IS NOT an official documented COMPLETE Birth Certificate, it’s a short form used for court proceedings, which in itself is minimum requirement for such.

The question is why did Obama not release a FULLY DOCUMENTED copy of his ORIGINAL Birth Certificate?

This is not hocus pocus, it’s a simple concept, release the whole freak’in thing, unless of course Obama has something to hide, lol.

Now what part of that does not sink into your thick skull? Where do these people come from, my god, dumber than a sack of hammers.

 

Comment by elise | 2008-06-13 02:20:41

I respectfully have to disagree. It is not necessary to be a natural citizen of the US to serve in the senate. That is only required for the office of president.

The Ca. Governor is not a citizen and the late Sen. Lantos, Holocaust survivor, was born in Poland.

Presidential candidates should be required to answer all serious questions. Sen. Obama has been given a pass on too much and the only thing used as a reference are books he wrote himself.

I would like to know, for example, why he says he will not release his tax returns. So far the only thing we have seen are for the years he has been in the US Senate, but nothing for previous years. Sen. Clinton’s returns are public from 1976-2007.

I would also like to know if you think a white, freshman senator with close connections to criminals, should be asked to explain those relationships. Sen. Obama can not make it through the convention and the general election by using racism charge against Americans who want to know about someone who would be president.

He and his wife are well educated, wealthy and he is close to the Democratic nomination for president. Charges of racism seem superfluous under those circumstances.

James — McCain proved that he was born on a military base and that his parents were both Americans — Now why doesn’t Obama prove the same thing. Perhaps because its a pack of lies and he was born in Kenya.

Comment by Ridiculous | 2008-06-12 23:07:28

What proof do YOU have that he was born in Kenya? Pulling lies out of your ass doesn’t count.

Comment by Andy | 2008-06-12 23:16:53

If he wants to be POTUS it is a constitutional requirement he be a US born citizen.

Why should you believe anyone is? Let’s see: are you? Am I?

You have no clue but neither you nor I matter because we are not seeking the US Presidency. Get it?

Don’t be sooooo Ridiculous please.

 

Comment by TI | 2008-06-12 23:19:56

I am an ardent Hillary supporter. But I have to agree, I’d also like for you to tell us where you got your info about him being born in Kenya as well as the info about Obama saying derogartory things about AAs on video. I really would like to know this and I’ve asked before.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-06-13 07:14:37

This issue has come up before earlier in the 20th c as there were candidates born in territories before they achieved state status…It wa decided then tat because these territories had applied for state status and were then US territories that the requirement was met. This is not racial with regard to Obama as the question was raised with McCain.McCain was born on a Naval base in a US Military hospital. US Miltary bases and embassies are recognized as extensions of US SOIL…So the requirement was met for McCain. McCain was born on US SOIL according to the law.

Comment by Minina | 2008-06-12 22:39:47

yeah…sorry OB followers. This certificate looks like a fake. Go ask your master what exactly it is he’s hiding and why.

I personally don’t think that the contents of the BC will be a big deal at the end, when OB finally releases the real copy. But by refusing to release the darned BC, he’s just fueling more speculation about what his real place of birth may be. Is this a campaign strategy along the lines of the race memo? Another bait to throw at his opponents so he can cry racism again?

 

Comment by mcnor | 2008-06-12 22:39:58

I believe that you would have an attending physician signature with an area that reads something similar to:
I hereby certify that I attended the birth of this child who was born (alive or stillborn)on above date at _______am or pm. There would also be an area for multiple births, etc.
Possibly it would have the question about treatment of eyes with silver nitrate 1/2% solution if that was required by law. Everyone gets it due to syphillis.
It would also have a registration number, and maybe a state office listing.
It would have gone to details about each parent, occupation, color, age, and their birthplace.
By law the delivery person or physician must sign the birth certificate record. That is the law.

Comment by No fan of Obama | 2008-06-12 22:42:44

It is the law to sign a certificate just as you would have to on a death certificate. Checked with a physician.

Comment by No fan of Obama | 2008-06-12 23:16:56

NO it’s not a federal law because that’s a state jurisdiction, and in most states you don’t need it because not every child is born in a hospital with a doctor in attendance.

Death Certificates don’t follow federal law either, it also falls under state law. And each and every state is different.

Comment by Andy | 2008-06-12 23:22:24

I doubt you can get a US Passport then.

Comment by Andy | 2008-06-12 23:24:08

The first time around ( you can always renew w/ an old passport).
you have to send THE ORIGINAL BIRTH certificate.
And that one better have lots of seals and signatures.

Comment by WildChild | 2008-06-12 23:28:32

It depends when BOBO got his passport. It was a lot easier to get official documents back when he was a kid. He went over seas as a child. He might have gotten his first passport when he was just a child. His moms word might have been good enough for him to be claimed a citizen.

Comment by Teakwood | 2008-06-13 02:46:03

No you still needed a valid BC for the Passport. US that is.

Comment by Isolde | 2008-06-12 23:32:03

Birth records are made for the Dept of Health Bureau of Vital Statistics, it requires a medical signature because they are also health records just like a death certificate.

 
 
 

Comment by rwc | 2008-06-12 22:39:59

It has NONE OF THE PERTINENT INFORMATION that a real BC has.

How can Oblowme even say its even a copy of his BC is nothing short of a joke.

Oblowme has to be hiding something to put out a obvious fake like this.

P.S. try showing a BC like that to a DISCO agent for a security clearance and you get laughed at.

Obama moves DNC operations to Chicago
In a major shakeup at the Democratic National Committee — and a departure from tradition — large parts of the committee’s operations are relocating to Chicago to be fully integrated with the Obama campaign.

The DNC’s political department, housed in Washington, D.C., will be dramatically rebuilt, with staffers offered a choice of moving to Chicago, joining state operations, or staying in Washington, DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney said.

But the power will clearly be shifting to a centralized Chicago hub.

The DNC’s key role in coordinating political operations with state parties is expected to largely be taken over and overseen by Obama’s senior staff in Chicago, state party officials said.

“This is part of the implementation of the plans Paul [Tewes] discussed last week with the state party chairs,” Finney said. “As part of the efforts to fully integrate DNC operations with the Obama campaign here in Washington, in Chicago and in the states, political, field and constituency operations are moving to Chicago to work in the Obama headquarters. The goal is to consolidate these efforts into one operation and effectively drive one national strategy.”

People familiar with the plan said that state party staffers paid for under Howard Dean’s 50 State Program would be shifted to working for the presidential campaign, at least in targeted battleground states.

The move reflects Obama’s desire to maintain an unusually streamlined campaign, as well as his swift and complete takeover of a Democratic Party that isn’t always known for its unity. The move may also save the campaign money, as the Obama campaign can use DNC salaries and staff to pay for elements of its organizing campaign and avoid some of the duplication that has often dogged presidential efforts.

“From the beginning of this race Obama has told supporters that if they want to help his effort, they should do so through his campaign,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton, who confirmed that Pritzker has told donors not to give to the groups. “And he means exactly what he says.”

Shouldn’t it have the baby’s footprint on it?

Were Obama, Sr. and Stanley married in spite of Obama’s father already having a wife and children in Kenya?

Was there a registration in Kenya, too? I doubt that since Obama’s father didn’t seem to care much about the son he fathered as an exchange student. He abandoned him. When some U. of Hawaii students who knew Obama, Sr. as an exchange student visited him in Kenya years later, he never enquired after his son or his mother.

Odd man.

Has there been any follow up to why the passport records were violated? Cover up, etc.? Just watching and wondering.

Comment by elise | 2008-06-13 02:48:33

The man, I think his name is Bremmer, who owns the company responsible for making the passports is a senior advisor for Obama’s campaign. It was someone from his company who accidentally(?) invaded the files for Obama, Clinton and McCain.

In Rezko’s trial (in Chicago) the prosecutors presented evidence Rezko had contacted “officials” about a visa for Nadhim Auchi. Auchi lives in London now, but he was tried and convicted of fraud in the UN Oil For Food program in Iraq. He had been refused permission to enter the US.

Excuse me, but I have to disagree again. Obama is the presumptive nominee. Hillary has released her delegates, but they have the right to vote for her and if they do, Obama will not win the first round because superdelegates cannot vote until the second round.

I don’t know what kind of pressure they are using, but I know they cannot force the pledged delegates to give up their vote. The DNC would like a vote by acclimation on the first round of voting and what do you want to bet they won’t get it?

I have given a lot of thought to Roe in the last few weeks and there are probably a lot of other women who are weighing that argument.

The ruling came in 1973 when Richard Nixon was president after the feminist movement began. Every election cycle it has been exploited by politicians of both parties to influence voters.

The person who responded to your comment is a disgusting piece of trash. He/she, on the one hand, uses the threat of losing the right of women to make a decision about their own bodies and on the other hand displays a disregard of a woman’s right to make a decision about her marriage and continues to spew the sexist garbage we have all heard for over a year now.

Women’s groups who claim to have a mission to help women in political campaigns and preserve their right to self respect and equality have been silent on the campaign of destruction against Hillary Clinton. They claim to be looking at the bigger picture and have ignored the reality of what this campaign has done to undermine the very thing they say they are protecting.

I have never in my life felt the rage I feel now and it won’t go away. If you have no expectation, it doesn’t hurt when you realize you have been let down, But I believed in the Democratic Party and I will not forgive them. Women make up 52% of the population of this country and have been the base of support for years for a party we believed best represented our interests and they have spit in our faces and in the face of a woman who has dedicated her life to the protection of womens rights and the true ideals of the Party

I will offer no apologies for not supporting the cantidate they have chosen because I don’t believe anymore. When someone writes the kind of trash this person wrote, they do not deserve a reply and to the others who would try to win my vote I say, go to hell.

Comment by Michael | 2008-06-12 22:47:50

It is what is called a “short form”. Do your homework.

http://www.birthrecord.eu/birth_certificate_en.html

“Short forms, known sometimes as computer certifications, are not universally available, but are cheaper than photocopies and much more easily accessible. Limited information is taken from the original birth record (the long form) and stored in a database that can be accessed quickly when birth certificates are needed in a short amount of time. Whereas the long form is a copy of the actual birth certificate, a short form is a document that certifies the existence of such certificate, and is usually titled a “Certification of Birth” or “Certificate of Birth Registration”. The short form typically includes the child’s name, date of birth, sex, and place of birth, although some also include the names of the child’s parents. When the certification does include the names of the parents, it can be used in lieu of a long form birth certificate in almost all circumstances. Nearly all states in the U.S. issue short forms certifications, on both state and local levels.

I don’t think he’s hiding anything. I think you’re looking for something that isn’t there to spread fear. Do you really think this would be the smoking gun? Seriously? This? Of all the things that is going to doom Obama you think it’s going to be a birth certificate? Do you honestly think that if they REALLY had a reason to hide something he would have the BEST fake documents money can buy? He has millions of dollars I’m sure if he REALLY needed to cover his ass on this one, he’d go 100% on this one?

When you have this much on the line you don’t half-ass your cover up, ergo there is no cover up.

It isn’t that you really think the Obama campaign is trying to pull one over on anyone, but by keeping the fear alive, your audience will be swayed.

Do you really think millions of people would give 200 million dollars to a guy who lied about his birth? Don’t you think they’d check that first? Grand conspiracies theories are always just that. Theories. That. Never. Pan. Out.

Cheers and keep on spreading the silliness, it makes you look desperate.

You are correct about the issuance of short forms, which do contain far less information. What voters are responding to is the lack of transparency and full disclosure by a man who seeks to serve this country as POTUS.
The speculation exists simply because he is so evasive. It is easy enough to release a copy of his original Birth Certificate. Not doing so, again, displays the attitude that he is above the questions and opinions of the average American.
You may want to note that any kindergartener or Little League player must prove eligibility with a valid Birth Certificate, POTUS should not require a lower standard, eh?

 

Comment by Debbie in NC | 2008-06-12 23:02:46

OF course we care about his damn birth certificate!

You said: “Do you honestly think that if they REALLY had a reason to hide something he would have the BEST fake documents money can buy?”

You asked the question. Where is THE birth certificate with the baby’s foot prints on it and the doctors signature? If he can get anything that money can buy then where is the actual Birth Certificate? Why did he not wait until he had the actual documentation that he needs to prove his own legal birth?

If the BO campaign did it then is this a joke? What kind of disclosure is this? Can they ever be serious?

And if they didn’t WTH does DK think they are doing?

Frankly I don’t believe there is an issue with him being US born citizen; I mean
it would be a hell of a cover up not just by him but by the DNC …
I want to believe (am i being naive?) that the USDOJ would have checked at some point???

And if my belief is correct then why is BO playing this silly games with DKos or
DKos playing it at all? It is stupid.

I agree with Larry: what’s this?

I would totally support a black man for the POTUS. But…Obama makes my skin crawl and not because he is black (actually half)another reason he is so wierd because being half and half that’s what he should base his campaign on, that he understands both sides and that’s what would make him a “Uniter” and not a “Divider.” The Obama supporters are BLIND to the facts.

The debunking is courtesy of the jpeg artifacts that can be clearly seen as well as any certification that would make it legal. Had the creator added the certification, it may have made it more believable, but then he would also be subject to charges of forging federal documents, which is why it is missing. Nice try….well not really, any 12 yr old could do a more believable job and would have at least smoothed out the artifacts.

Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!

Comment by Roland Blunt | 2008-06-12 22:57:02

When information originally entered on a certificate is amended:, 1) a line is drawn through the incorrect entry and the correct data is inserted, 2) what information was amended and on what authority, the date of the action and the initials of the reviewer are entered on the certificate, and 3) the notation “altered” is written or stamped on the certificate.

We will never see the original

Comment by GammaSigmer | 2008-06-13 11:35:02

Yes I’m from Hawaii and I have a COPY of my birth certificate for use in getting passports, etc. It looks exactly like the BO one online (but not like my misplaced original, which looked a microfilmed document with signatures).

The Hawaii State Dept. of Health can issue this form almost immediately from their database, whereas the old style took weeks or more to get.

In addition to the laser-printed data, there is, on the back, an embossed seal of the State of Hawaii, a stamped “I certify that this is a true copy or abstract of the record on file in the Hawaii State Department of Health” with the stamped signature of the State Registrar and a stamped date of issue.

So — this is not the form that the parents sign after a live birth at the hospital but it is a facsimile that suffices for official purposes where you need a ‘birth certificate.’

State birth certificates vary from state to state in the information they give.

I was born in Tennessee, and it doesn’t list the hospital or city, just the county. Other states list the hospital and/or city.

Some states give you a copy of the original certificate. Some states give you an abstract of the original, which apparently is the procedure in Hawaii.

In Hawaii, the abstract will get you a drivers license and constitutes proof of citizenship for employment purposes.

Beyond all the foolishness, why is Obama the only candidate subject to scrutiny as to citizenship?

Was Hillary really, really born in Mongolia? Was McCain really born in Sicily?

I have yet to see proof otherwise, so until then . . . .

Comment by uhh somehow this notion that I am qualified to be president is uhh uhh ridiculous | 2008-06-12 23:29:25

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/01/AR2008050103224.html

This “double standard” accusation thing - if Obama becomes president, is this what will happen whenever Obama is criticized? If so, that would be quite an incentive to vote against him.

McCain’s birth certificate would have been checked out when he was inducted into the military. Considering that he was inducted before computers he most likely had the original or a photostatic copy of the original. Your asking us to simply trust that BOBO was born when and where he said he was. We’d like to see the guys birth certificate if that’s not too much to ask

But it could have been forged and altered, just like Obama’s. Let’s see the original and let the people decide.

He says in speeched (not so much anymore) that his mother was on welfare. That usually occurs when mom writes father unknown if welfare received at birth.

Check out this link, he points out as does Larry that the certificate and certification are two different things. There is more information on the real certificate:

http://www.suitablyflip.com/suitably_flip/2008/06/kos-tries-to-pa.html

Per the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (a state agency that happens to detail the difference):

In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.
