Barack Obama: Born in Hawai`i
by Andrew Walden
Obama?s birth certificate posted online is exactly the same birth certificate everybody in Hawai`i gets from the State Department of Health.
Re: ?Will Obama?s birth certificate be produced to silence the growing outrage, or will the media and the courts conspire to quash what should be front-line news every day until the question is resolved??
To repeat, Hawaii issues only the Certification of Live Birth these days. It is accepted as proof of birth in the USA by the US State Department.
How do I know that? From this e-mail from the Department of Health in Hawaii:
"It is possible that we have records with more information but we issue only certified computer-generated certificates with certain necessary information to confirm a birth. We are the only agency that issues certified birth records for Hawaii
Aloha,
(Name removed)"
Re: ?Now, most of us can produce our birth certificate for a driver?s license test, a job interview, or any number of causes, in a matter of minutes. Shouldn?t a candidate for the president be held to at least as high a standard as a teenager applying for permission to drive on American streets and highways??
As noted, the certification of live birth is the official document used to get a driver?s license, to show at a job interview, or to apply for a passport. Unless your family has retained the original birth certificate, you cannot get it from the Department of Health of Hawaii these days. But that?s okay, the certification of live birth is a legal document, and it proves birth in Hawaii.
