Born in the U.S.A.

By the Editors of National Review

Pres. Barack Obama has a birthday coming up, a week from Tuesday. We hope he takes the day off—or even the whole week, the briefest of respites from his busy schedule of truncating our liberties while exhausting both the public coffers and our patience. The president’s birthday comes to mind because we recently spent some time looking at a photograph of his birth certificate, being held by Joe Miller of Factcheck.org, who took the time to examine it. President Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at 7:24 p.m, in Honolulu County, Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. The serial number on his birth certificate is 010641. Baby Barack’s birth was not heralded, as some of his partisans have suggested, by a star in the east, but it was heralded by the Honolulu Star, as well as the Honolulu Advertiser, each of which published birth announcements for young Mr. Obama.

Much foolishness has become attached to the question of President Obama’s place of birth, and a few misguided souls among the Right have indulged it. The myth that Barack Obama is ineligible to be president represents the hunt for a magic bullet that will make all the unpleasant complications of his election and presidency disappear. We are used to seeing conspiracy theories from the Left, for instance among the one in three Democrats who believe that 9/11 was an inside job conducted with the foreknowledge of the Bush administration. We’ve seen everything under the sun blamed on Dick Cheney and Halliburton, and Rosie O’Donnell has given us much mirth with her metallurgical expertise, while Andrew Sullivan has beclowned himself and tarnished the good name of The Atlantic with his investigation into the “realâ€

The allegation that Obama was born in Kenya seems to have originated with a Hillary Clinton supporter at a blog called The Blue State.

I find that to be very interesting.

On the positive side of this whole debate. The Obamabots, the MSM, and the talkies are all getting caught up in a debate that has led many people to read the Constitution. Why then are the Obamabots, the MSM, and some of the talkies upset? Will the reading and understanding of the Constitution upset the apple cart? Is there something wrong with an examination of the Constitution and then a quick, or not so quick look at the powers to be in Washington and all that they do, or have done? Is there something in the Constitution that would instill fear in the powers that be? Will the MSM have to face it's fears that an educated population may demand more of them and their actions? When fluff and stuff does not cut the mustard, how will they lead the masses by the nose? Do all politicians have something to fear when the electorate understands the Constitution and the political process in a much more thorough light? Could this be the educational reform that many have been waiting for?

It has been said that, ' you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.' Looks like the horse is thirsty.

Who is running scared?

A close examination of the birth certificates issued by Kapi'olani to the Nordyke twins shows the registration number precedes the number given Obama, even though the future president was born a day earlier.

Susan Nordyke was born at 2:12 p.m. Hawaii time and was given No. 151 – 61 – 10637, which was filed with the Hawaii registrar Aug. 11, 1961.

Gretchen Nordyke followed at 2:17 p.m. and was given No. 151 – 61 – 10638, which was also filed with the Hawaii registrar Aug. 11, 1961.

According to a version of Obama's purported short-form certificate available from FactCheck.org, Obama was given a higher registration number than the Nordyke twins. The online image indicates the number is No. 151 – 1961 – 10641, even though he was born Aug. 4, 1961, the day before the twins, and his birth was registered with the Hawaii registrar three days earlier, Aug. 8, 1961.

The middle figure in Obama's purported registration also is different than the Nordykes'. Obama's is 1961, indicating the year, while the Nordykes' is merely 61.

One explanation for the out-of-order serial numbers might be that several serialized stacks of birth certificates were made available at different hospitals.

Another possibility is that Obama's number is not a genuine registration number created in 1961 but was issued when the short-form document was generated during the 2008 presidential campaign.

Eleanor Nordyke told WND she thinks her twins got lower numbers because she went into the hospital Aug. 4, 1961, and was in labor for 20 hours before she delivered. She speculates that Ann Dunham came in after her and was given a later number, even though Dunham's baby was born earlier. Nordyke's twins were not born until the afternoon of the next day.

WND was unable to receive a response from Hawaii officials regarding the state's procedure for issuing registration numbers.

looks A LOT DIFFERENT, KINDA REAL RIGHT? SO WHATS UP WITH
BO'S?

The serial number on his birth certificate is 010641.

So the state of Hawaii changed their entire numbering system from the 4th to the 5th?

Has anyone seen Bush's birth certificate?

He claims to be a Texan,

but his birth certificate says he was born in New Haven , Connecticut.

Why does a paper trail scare the heck out of a honest(?) politician? (tounge in cheek)

I would like to see the college transcripts. Is he a commie? What pinko organizations and papers are locked under seal?

Who is this guy? Perhaps someone will give a copy of his autobiography so I can find out? Anybody have a copy just laying around on the bathroom shelf with most of the pages still intact?

You do realize that Connecticut is in the United States. I don't understand your comparison to George Bush. He calls himself a Texan because that's where has lived most of his adult life.

I was born and raised in California. But if I move to oh say Idaho, should I continue to call myself a Californian, despite the fact I no longer reside there? That would be somewhat odd...IMO.
