		<description>Obama has already released a completely legal form proving where he was born. You refused to accept it.
If he does release his long-form certificate, what's to say you won't be satisfied with that?
Heck, if somebody found a video of his birth, with the sign for the hospital in the background and Don Ho singing during the delivery, that still wouldn't be enough proof, would it?</description>

		<description>Alot of people claiming that Obama was born at a certain hospital in Hawaii and even some who have cited the attending physician and time Soetoro/Obama was born.

Unfortunately, folks, nobody has actually cited the actual birth certificate that substantiates any of the answers provided.

Where is the actual birth certificate? 

If somebody out there can provide the valid long-form Hawaiian birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama or Barry Soetoro in the next 7 days, you will be $50,000 richer!

But please, no more claims without documented proof.

Cheers</description>

		<description>""Actually, there are two applicable, for this discussion, rules for those born between 1952 and 1986.

1. The parent who is the citizen must have lived at least 10 years in the US before the child’s birth.
2. 5 of those 10 must be after the parents 14th birthday. *
You can find this information on the site I linked to earlier.

*Ann Dunham was born in 1942 and left for Indonesia in 1966 which doing the math means she qualified. As far as I know she was a citizen her entire life. Please correct me if I’m wrong."""

You are wrong. She missed the age requirement by a few months. Obama was born a few months before her 19th birthday.

But, that law only applies to children that were born outside of the US. "IF" Obama was born in HI then he would be a US citizen, but NOT a US Natural Born Citizen because his father was a British subject which means Obama was born with DUAL citizenship owing allegiance to Britain which to this day he is still a British citizen. If Obama was to go to Britain they could hold him to their laws and there is nothing the US could do about it. Just like while being here the US holds him to our laws here where there is nothing Britain could do about it. This is the very thing the framers of the constitution wanted to prevent from ever happening which is why they required a POTUS to be a natural born citizen. Citizenship follows the citizenship of the father which is what made Obama a dual citizen at birth. (Assuming he was born in HI)

IF it is proven he was not born in HI then Obama is not even a citizen muchless a natural born citizen because if he was born on foreign soil his mother was not old enough to pass her citizenship to him at the time he was born. But this law only applied to foreign births.</description>

		<description>If Obama were born someplace other than Honolulu, the short form would say so:

In an article on Salon.com:
"If you were born in Bali, for example, you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali," Janice Okubo, the director of communications for the state Department of Health, told the Washington Independent's David Weigel recently. "You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate."

But the state of Hawaii is in on this conspiracy, right?
Also, do you really think Hilary Clinton and/or John McCain tanked the election?  If Obama was really born someplace else or otherwise not a natural-born citizen, wouldn't Clinton or McCain have found out about it and used that information?</description>

		<description>According to story Barak Hussein Obama tells
a - mother was too young to bestow citizenship on him
b - father was British subject making Barak a british citizen, even if he was born on NBC television in the Lincoln bedroom.
c - 2008 US Senate resolution (ironically declaring McCain a Natural Born Citizen, and sponsored by Hillary and Obama) and historical case law, requires both parents to be citizens to be a natural born citizen.  Citizenship can be acquired in many other ways, but NATURAL BORN CITIZENSHIP can only be had one way, and is bestowed at birth.

But the real point is this.

Obama could have been the son of Malcolm X and Nancy Reagan, and born in Antarctica for all we know.  You can't prove otherwise.  The so-called certification that Obama has offered, was offered to those of foreign births, so even if it's not a fake, still doesn't prove anything.

We just don't know.  That's the problem.</description>

		<description>In the U.S. legal code, the burden of proof is on the Plaintiff in a Civil case. That is, "the plaintiff must prove each element of the claim, or cause of action, in order to recover." In criminal cases, the burden of proof is on the prosecutor. In simple terms, this equates to "innocent until proven guilty". How this plays out in practice is that I don't get to just invent a claim against you and then you have to prove your innocence. I have to have sufficient evidence to demonstrate your guilt. There has, as of yet, been insufficient evidence under US law to support a claim and, as such, the burden of proof is still on the people making those claims.

So, my question to you is "Why do you hate America?" I'm not being facetious, but clearly you have no respect for the American legal system and clearly no respect for the office of the President... I will grant you the assumption that you respect our Legislative Branch, but that may also be a stretch.</description>

		<description>The heck of it is, after we finally get to see the birth certificate and find that there is nothing but an affidavit, all we're gonna here is that the affidavit proves he was born in hawaii and we're just a bunch of nuts for thinking otherwise.</description>

		<description>Who cares.  The rule for a person to be a natural born citizen is a bad one anyway.  Our first 4 presidents at least didn't technically fit this criteria.  

The fact is, Obama has been proven to have been born in Hawaii and the state of Hawaii has confirmed that.  Do you think the Republican party would have let something like this slip through the cracks if it had any merit?  It is simply a useless scare tactic that has no bearing on Obama's ability to lead or legitimacy to be president.

So I have a question for you.  If he was born outside of the country can you tell me the doctor who delivered him, the name of the hospital, and the time he was born and give legitimate documentation to back that up?

Also, if he was born outside the country and brought here as an infant why should that make him ineligible to be president?  I know its in our Constitution, but there have been amendments to the constitution for a reason.  Do you think he feels like less of an american than you?  In my eyes this whole argument is a ridiculous waste of time.</description>

I've never seen a notarized document proving this.
