Donald Trump, a dentist from Orange County, Calif., and 48 percent of Republicans from Iowa all have one thing in common — they all believe President Barack Obama was not born in the US.
They make up a small part of the so-called birther movement, a group that believes Obama was not born in America, and therefore is illegally holding the presidency.
There’s only one small problem. Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Aug. 4, 1961 — a fact that has been continuously proven time and time again. So why is there still a heated debate on the issue?
It’s not because Obama hasn’t released his birth records. His campaign released a certification of live birth to the public — and that is as official as Hawaii gets. There is a document called a long-form birth record that is confidential, but it is never released to the public, even if the person requesting the document is the president.
However, numerous people have inspected the document and have spoken to its authenticity — including former Hawaii health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino and former Republican Gov. Linda Lingle.
Independently-operated FactCheck.org has also personally inspected the president’s long-form birth record, and they verify its legitimacy as well.
In addition to the long list of verification from Tea Party supporters and Democrats alike, Obama’s birth was announced in two Hawaii newspapers — The Honolulu Advertiser and The Honolulu Star-Bulletin — the week after he was born.
“Of course, it’s distantly possible that Obama’s grandparents may have planted the announcement just in case their grandson needed to prove his U.S. citizenship in order to run for president someday,” FactCheck.org states in their article backing Obama’s citizenship.
“We suggest that those who choose to go down that path should first equip themselves with a high-quality tinfoil hat. The evidence is clear: Barack Obama was born in the U.S.A.”
We couldn’t agree more.
It doesn't matter is Obama has a birth certificate in Hawaii. If his mother is a US citizen. He his automatically an American citizen by birth, regardless of where he was born. And this cannot be changed until he is 18 years old.
So, regardless of weather he was born in Hawaii is irrelevant. By the nature of his natural heritage, He's American. To argue other wise is stupid. So start debating his mothers heritage. I don't care. Give it your best shot bitch!
Well first, try using the correct word. Homophones are tricky little buggers. Cursing generally inhibits your arguments effectiveness so that wasn't a smart thing to say either. And in regards to your 'fact', your parents citizenship is not the issue. Even if my parents were both natural born US citizens, and they took a trip to Engkand and I was born there, I would not be a US citizen. On the flip side, if my parents were born in the UK and they took a trip to America, and I was born here, I would be an American citizen first and a UK citizen second. Hence the term 'anchor babies'. So that makes your argument invalid. I encourage you to read the laws before you comment in such a vitriolic fashion
His mother was Caucasian. She was born in Kansas. His father was born in Africa. He was born in Hawaii on August 4th 1964. Thats all there is to it. This whole debate is ridiculous.
Really! If that is true then why aren't all of the Mexicans born to Mexicans in the United States not Mexican?
And FYI when Obama was 20 years old he traveled to Indonesia with an Indonesian passport, making him an Indonesian citizen. And since Indonesia doesn't allow duel citizenship, if he held either an American citizenship or Kenyan citizenship, her would had to have renounced it. Then if he wanted to regain American citizenship, he would had to have applied for it just like every other nonAmerican, which he did not do.
You're reading it in the wrong context. Donald Trump was listed with a dentist from Orange County along with 48% of Republicans.
