White House releases Obama birth certificate

I wondered how long before someone examined the birth certificate closely and came up with discrepancies... Read about it here

I'm shocked.
My astonishment stems from the fact Obamma was born Barry, and he changed his own name later, as per his own book......I doubt this is a legitimate document, but not surprised. What a total phony....

Thanks Dave for sharing that link. I know many people want to believe Obama but this entire birth certificate issue smells bad. My Momma always taught me that if something smells bad it is usually rotten other than maybe some different types of cheese! LOL
Obama promised transparency and truth but yet he spends over $2m to avoid producing a perfectly legal document? In my book, that is not transparency.

Effron: do you have the reference for Barry/Obama, page and chapter?

If forgot, look who some states send to Congress.

Africa isn't a Nation, it's a continent. African is a race like "Asian" or "European" is a race.

It's the economy . Could only get migrant workers to do it. They work cheap.

You'd think the CIA could have gotten the same machine they use to use to print the original ones and do a new one. Then get some dude who's good with a pen to copy the signature... fade it in the sun for a few months and you're done.

When the long form birth certificate was released, CBS newsman Bob Sheiffer commented that it should satisfy reasonable people. I'm not sure why there's so much question about him being born in the US. His grandmother who raised him lived in Hawaii. His mother was 18; I worked with families of babies and toddlers with developmental delays and it's not uncommon for young mothers to live with their moms to help raise the baby.The birth certificates are issued by the state/county so I don't think it's likely a fake could be made public without someone discovering that it wasn't the original one on file.

I disagree. I'm American but American is not listed on my birth certificate as my race. In the year 1961 it is highly questionable that a US birth certificate would have stated African.

Are you saying that European's of color are just simply European on their birth documents?

I actually didn't say that African is a race, I was just making the connection to commonly used terms.

"African is a race like "Asian" or "European" is a race." I was just making the connection. Of course "American" isn't a race, because it's not a traditional home to a particular race. European/Asian/African are sometimes used generic terms for people of a particular race (though they're all technically wrong).

Here's an example:
My kids are half asian, half white. They're called Eurasians.

Fact is there's only 3 races and most people don't know them: Negroid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid...

...or Black, Asian and White.

I get what you are saying but I don't agree. Africa is home to white and black people and probably some other colors too so I don't see how their birth documents would state African as a race. I still believe that a US birth certificate in 1961 would not have African as a race, as African is not a skin color.

I agree Momma... I recall most forms and official questionnaires in the 60's and into the 70's as having the options" White, Negro, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, European, and a few more maybe... then Negro was PC-changed to Black and then to African.. much later than 1961.

OMG - The US economy is still in need of much work to repair the damage done by the corporate-led "opposition party", there are multiple wars all over the world, there are natural disasters occurring monthly, and all some people can whine about is semantics and issues that have been resolved by intelligent people for years. This whining is making the US the laughing stock of the world. THAT's why our influence has diminished.
Can we get on to some serious discussions, especially about photography, or are we going to whine about conspiracy theories that degrade America's reputation and have NO impact on the well-being of this country?

By the way, for your education enlightenment, "hispanic" is now considered an "ethnicity" and not a race.
