Obama is a US Citizen
Allegations raised on the Internet say the birth certificate, showing that Obama was born in Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961, is a fake.
But state officials in Hawaii say they checked health department records and have determined there's no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.
The nonpartisan Web site Factcheck.org examined the original document and said it does have a raised seal and the usual evidence of a genuine document.
In addition, Factcheck.org reproduced an announcement of Obama's birth, including his parents' address in Honolulu, that was published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 13, 1961.

Americans spent years talking about how tolerant they were, not like those nasty Russians, and letting in everyone they could.
Now they're suddenly feeling like these people aren't citizens?
The nation-state always fails in this way: the only participation required is to accept some political dogma and live in a place, so there's no unity, and soon every group sees every other group as being in power.
The only remaining question is: as the USA breaks up, who's going to enforce Pax Romana especially as Eurasian third-world republics rise again with violence on their minds?
I was with you right up to the last part. It is the constitution, not popular opinion, that brought up the question. His creative use of campaign funds to prevent access to the original certificate fanned the flames, too.
ReplyDeleteI think we were past the constitutionality of his birthdate and place and it became about what the blogger was talking about, vs. a strictly constitutional issue.
