Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen?

There has been some unsettling discussion in the news recently and the American people are wondering; is Barack Obama a natural born citizen? The constitution requires that the president of the United States must be a ‘natural born citizen’. Obama would have you believe he was born in Hawaii, Aug. 4th, 1961. However, his mother was eighteen at the time of his birth, and his father was not a citizen. United States law at the time stated if only one of your parents was a citizen that parent must have been in the United States for at least 10 years, 5 of which over the age of 16. His mother being only eighteen makes that impossible. If we are all crazy conspiracy theorists and he is a US citizen one would imagine after several months of controversy over something you carry in your wallet, you’d show it and silence the critics. He attempted exactly that on the campaign trail, Obama instead gave us a certification of live birth, but by not presenting his birth certificate he only threw added more fuel to the fire. By now most of us have already assumed he was born alive. Which raises the question, why go through unnecessary controversy when the solution is a simple one? You can’t even apply for a passport with a certificate of live birth. Apparently, you can be the president of the United States though.

There is even more controversy around the allegedly forged certification of live birth. It is missing an embossed state seal and the state registrar’s signature, both of which would be present if it were not a forgery. Compared to other Hawaii birth certificates, the shading is different. There are no creases from being folded and mailed. The date stamp bleeding through the back says “June 2007” strange for it being released in June of 2008. The race they selected for his father was ‘African’ when in 1961 it would have stated ‘Negro’. Overall, making it appear photo shopped and invalid to say the least. The implications of such a charge are immense. This is one of the largest fraud cases in the history of the United States. It implicates the Hawaii Department of Health, the Illinois Secretary of State's office, the Cook County (Ill.) Bureau of Vital Statistics, the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois and many other government agencies. The American people need to know, is Barack Obama a natural born citizen? All of this could easily go away by showing us your birth certificate Mr. Obama, harm is being done to your reputation and there is more than enough speculation to generate such a request.
