"One of the key requirements for applying for a passport in the
United States is that the applicant provide proof of U.S.
citizenship. Primary proof includes a previously issued U.S.
passport that has not been damaged; a certified copy of a birth
certificate issued by the city, county or state; a consular
report of birth abroad or certification of birth; a
naturalization certificate; or a certificate of citizenship.
Secondary proof includes a combination of early public records
(such as a baptismal certificate, census record, early school
record, family Bible record, doctor's record of post-natal care),
which must be accompanied by a state-issued Letter of No Record."

You worry about the dumbest shit. Face the fact that Obama is in
office for at least another year, maybe 5.

Where do I appear worried? If you don't have the answer just sit
on your thumb.
It's a free country (so far) and I'm allowed to wonder..... From
reading the requirements above, it appears that
Obama's certificate of live birth does not meet the requirements
for a passport. So how did he get it?

The previously published short-form Hawii birth certificate would have
been sufficient 'primary proof'.

That said, the only people whou know what was actually used would be
the Obamas, and U.S. gov't employees that processed the application.

Of course for a gov't employee to have disclosed that information
would be a felony,

Sounds like your best bet for a legal answer would be to write the

You're wrong. The State Dept. has a PUBLISHED checklist of criteria
for an 'acceptable' U.S. birth certificate. and the Hawaii-issued
short-form certificate that has been widely published meets *every*one*
of those listed criteria.

Short form? I thought what Obama has provided was merely a
certificate of life birth. As I interpret the requirements,
those are only acceptable when issued by a consular
official....which would mean the birth occurred on foreign soil.
What I've seen is NOT a certified copy of a birth certificate.
I've got those....even for children born in Spain and Germany (in
military hospitals) and they bear no resemblance to the Obama
document.

"a certified copy of a birth
certificate issued by the city, county or state; a consular
report of birth abroad or certification of birth;"

That said, the only people whou know what was actually used would
be the Obamas, and U.S. gov't employees that processed the
application. Of course for a gov't employee to have disclosed
that information would be a felony, Sounds like your best bet for

How much money has Obama spent obfuscating his early years?

So the information I posted is bogus? Where is Obama's certified
birth certificate? Why wouldn't he use that instead of a
certificate of live birth.....which
is NOT the same thing as a certified copy of a birth
certificate? When my youngest son got his security clearance
working for Lockheed-Martin, a certificate
of live birth issued by our consulate in Spain was not
acceptable, they wanted the actual birth certificate, even though
it was issued by the Spanish government and the entire document
is in Spanish. It DOES, however, have his birth footprint, which
gives it more credibility. The Spanish government required the
military
hospital to furnish that information because as far as they were
concerned, he was a citizen of Spain. He was born the same year
as Obama claims.

I haven't seen any documents which prove that the doofus in the
White House was born where he says he was. Tell me how YOU know,
without a shadow of doubt, that the certificate of life birth can
be conclusively linked to El Doofus? You can't.

How do you explain the birth announcement in the Hawaiian newspaper

I doubt his mother put it in thinking he would need it someday when he

Meaningless to the question of whether that announcement is
REALLY for the same person that occupies the White House.
But my question was what kind of documentation Obama used to
obtain his first passport?

BZZT! thank you for playing.

I did _not_ say that the information was bogus.

I said that *YOU* were wrong in your interpretation "that Obama's
certificate does not meet the requirements for a passport".

As it happens, the usatoday.com summery _is_ inaccurate in a number
of details, but they are irrelevant to the current question.

Note: there was a minor rules change on the requirements for a birth
certificate, that went into effect on April 1, 2011. Needless to say,
since Obama got his first passport *BEFORE* that date, the rules
'now in effect' rules do NOT apply to his situation..

> Where is Obama's certified
>birth certificate?

Who the fuck cares? The U.S. Gov't doesn't.

The actual PUBLISHED requirements -- in 22 CFR 51.42(a) -- as of
December 31, 2011 are (verbatim quote):
"A person born in the United States generally must submit a birth
certificate. The birth certificate must show the full name of the
applicant, the applicant's place and date of birth, the full name
of the parent(s), and must be signed by the official custodian of
birth records, bear the seal of the issuing office, and show a
filing date within one year of the date of birth."

you can find this at the official U.S. gov't site:
<http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov>
and dig down through several levels of table-of-contents pages:
title 22
chapter 1
subchapter F part 51
subpart C section
51.42

Or use a respected 'unofficial' direct source:
<http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/22/51/42>

Note: The April 1, 2011 change was to add _one_ word in the language
above. Previous to that date, it just specified "... the name of the
parent(s) ..." vs. the current "... the FULL name of the parent(s) ...".


Obama's Hawaii short-form certificate meets every one of the "pre 4/1/2011"
requirements. to wit:
1) it has the full name of the applicant
2) it shows the place and date of birth
3) it shows the names of the parent(s) -- both parents, in fact.
4) it is signed by the official custodian of birth records for Hawaii
5) it bears the seal of the issuing office.
6) it shows a filing date within one year of the date of birth.

I haven't double-checked, but my recollection is that it has the 'full
names' of both parents, and thus would also meet today's requirements.

Note: the requirement that the certificate 'bear the seal' of the
issuing office means that you must submit a certificate obtained from
that office, and *not* a "copy' of of such a document.

Note: the signature of "the custodian of records" on the document
"certifies' that it is a 'true copy' of the orignal information on file,
and qualifies the document as a "certified" birth certificate, as
distinct from a 'copy" of said document.

"(a) Primary evidence of birth in the United States. A person born

The State Dept passport page at:
<http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_830.html
uses the 'certified birth certificate' language. and defines that term as:

"*A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed,
impressed or multicolored seal, registrar's signature, and the date
the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must
be within 1 year of your birth. Please note, some short (abstract)
versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport
purposes."

That statement, saying that "...SOME short versions ... *MAY*NOT* be
acceptable for passport purposes" is a clear statement that some
short-form certificates *ARE* acceptable.

Obama's Hawaii short-version certificate _HAS_ all the required elements,
and thus qualifies as a 'certified birth certificate' under the rules of
the U.S. State Department.

What _you_ consider a 'certified copy' and what the US. State Department
considers a 'certified copy' are two very different things.

The State Department officially states that some short form birth
certificates *DO* qualify as 'certified birth certificates' for
passport purposes. Quote;

Obama's widely-published short-form certificate meets *all* those
official requirements, and hence _is_ a "certified birth certificate'

Nope. Obama relies on abuser tactics to deflect the issue. He would have
provided a certificate of birth, NOT the same as a birth certificate and
NOT proof of birth in the US. The facts about air travel at the time of his
birth demonstrate it is highly unlikely that Obama was born in the US. The
established facts prove his mother was in Kenya days before the birth and
the airline rules at that time would prohibit her from flying, as they
didn't want to deal with giving birth in flight, especially an
international flight. She would have had to wait until after giving birth,
necessitating additional unfulfilled rules for Obama to acquire full
citizenship rights.

Linus is so full of it, that not only are his eyes brown, but the roots
of his hair are turning that color..

He claims that Obama has not produced a 'certified birth certificate',
as required by the State Department. He is provably incorrect on that
point.

By U.S. State Department rules, the widely-published Obama short form
Hawaii birth certificate qualifies as as "certified birth certificate'.

Which expressly answers the question he asked, quote "Where is Obama's
Certified birth certificate?"

The cited rules have changed by *ONE* word in the last 30+ years. That
change was made April 1, 2011. it changed "the name of the parent(s)"
to "the FULL name of the parent(s)".

Anything which satisfies today's requirements satisfies the
requirements that have been in place since since before Obama turned
21.

All I have claimed is that the Hawaii birth certificate would have been
SUFFICIENT,

If Linus wants to find out what was _actually_ used, he can ask the
White House, or file a FOIA act lawsuit.

I have provided the _PUBLISHED_ official requirements for a birth
certificate to be accepted by the State Department. Including explicit
acknowledgment that "short version" certificates, such as Hawaii uses,
*ARE* acceptable if if they meet certain requirements. AND I have
shown that Obama's publicly available short-version certificate *does*
meet every one of the State Department's requirements.

You can continue to blow bullshit, and try to change the subject, or

Lz in an extremist and needs a life. The bottom line is that his
wanting to prove O was/wasn't a citizen, is history. We can't change

You're blowing bullshit. The definition of a 'certified birth certificate'
has *NOT* changed. The requirements regarding some of the information
on the certificate have gotten a bit _stricter_. anything that meets
the present requirements meets the requirements that have been in place
for the last 30+ years.

Therefore, a showing of meeting the _present_ requirements is also a
showing of meeting the requirements that have been in place at any time
in the last 30+ years.

That aside, I don't give a damn about your question. I challenged
your 'interpretation' of the requirements -- and provided the official
State Department definition which _proves_ you are wrong.

He claims that Obama has not produced a 'certified birth certificate',
as required by the State Department.

Wrong. I said we've never seen a copy of Obama's "certified birth certificate".

He is provably incorrect on that
point.

You haven't proved what document was used when Obama acquired his
first passport. You do understand the concept of "proof" right?
Even if the State Dept accepts a live report of birth that
doesn't miraculously turn it into a certified birth certificate.

Qualifying doesn't make it a certified birth certificate.

And I don't give a shit about your alternate answer. You can't

have gone off on a tangent, cooked up your version of the
question and then buried us in mountains of bullshit.

What document did Barry Sotero use to obtain his first
passport? Remember he was registered at his school as a citizen
of Indonesia.
Did he travel under the name Barry Sotero with a passport
identifying him as Barack Obama? Or did he just live in
Indonesia with false documents?

The question was: What kind of documentation got Obama his first

You and Robert keep reading into the question something that
isn't there and pile up mountains of bullshit in doing so.

Do you KNOW what passport Barry Sotero was using when he traveled
from Hawaii to Indonesia and back? Remember he was enrolled in a
school as a
citizen of Indonesia. So what credentials did he show when he
registered in that school? Phony documents because non citizens
may not have been allowed
to attend a government school? We know he wasn't registered as
Barack Obama. Did he have more than one passport? Is there
anyone left alive that

In your mind. A certified birth certificate is just that, NOT
what the State Department will accept as a substitute.

The question is: Does anybody KNOW what kind of documentation
got Obama his first passport? Did he travel from Hawaii to
Indonesia as Barry
Sotero or Barack Obama? We know he registered in a government
school as a resident of Indonesia under the name Barry Sotero.
So did he use a phony ID?
Under what name did he return to Hawaii? Ignoring the
citizenship question, you have to admit that Obama's past history
is pretty unusual and poses a lot of unanswered questions.

Again, 'so what?' The birth certificate _I_ used to get my passport,
was also on a form that was first used roughly 45 years after my birth.
But the State Department of Vital Statistics 'certified' that the
information on that form was a 'true copy" of the facts on file.

There is also absolutely *nothing* on that document -- fingerprints,
footprints, etc. -- that could be used to 'prove' that _I_ am the
person that that document references.

That document was 'sufficient' for getting a passport with no problems.

So he has Indonesian citizenship in addition to U.S.
citizenship? Can you prove that?

I think you must be mentally ill-equipped since I've mentioned
that my son born in Spain had it automatically. My daughter born in
Munich had the option of having German citizenship in addition to
her American citizenship

When we left Spain, our son who was born there was on my wife's
passport since he was less than a year old. When we shipped for
Germany 2 1/2 years later, he had to have his own passport.

So my ACTUAL experience would tell me Barry Sotero would have his
own passport when he went back to live in Hawaii.

So some low-level clerk made that decision.

There is also absolutely *nothing* on that document --
fingerprints, footprints, etc. -- that could be used to 'prove'
that _I_ am the person that that document references. That
document was 'sufficient' for getting a passport with no problems.

According to your statement above, someone in the "State
Department of Vital Statistics" VERIFIED that the form was a
"true copy" before approving it.

Now MY "Certified Birth Certificate" is a photograph of the one
prepared and submitted by the doctor who attended my birth. So
is my wife's. The imprinted seal
of the county auditor is the verification that they are valid
copies from their files.

Apparently neither you or Obama can obtain one of these, yet I
have had to furnish one when I enlisted, when I got married and
again when I applied for
my AF housing allowance. The U of MN required one when I
registered there and the U of MN hospital got a copy from the
state....which is why my 2 children born there have the same
spelling as my birth certificate whereas the two born in military
hospitals have only one "n" at the end of their names.

Obviously my experiences have been far different than yours...but
no one ever had a question about MY birth certificate.

Linus lies, again.

I did _not_ say that Linus was lying about the conclusion Linus drew, I
merely said Linus was "wrong" about _that_.

I *AM* calling Linus a liar -- for claiming that i went off on a tangent,
and "cooked up" things that were not in his original posting.

Linus, *YOU* are the one 'cooking up' distractions, and attempting to
bury the facts with your bullshit.

>Instead it makes you a rabid Obama supporter

snort. <snicker> *GUFFAW*

_Me_ an Obama supporter??

You *are* a raving lunatic to believe that.

Try to find _ANYTHING_, *ever*, where I have said *one*word* in support
of _ANY_ program, policy, or political agenda, proposed or endorsed by
Obama.

In point of fact, I actively volunteered in the campaigns of two other
candidates.

What I do, is 'call out' those who employ 'big lie' techniques -- repeating
provably 'false to fact' assertations, with the apparent belief that
if they say a thing often enough, it will come to accepted as true.

I do -not- expect to convince the 'big lie' perpetrator of the error of
his ways. Just to keep the 'true facts' available for those who stumble
across the 'big lie' attempt in the future, so -they- can make their own
*INFORMED* decisions as to what the 'truth' really is.

Admitting that you are apparently too ignorant, or too lazy, to bother to

Of course, your 'conclusion' is not supported by either the facts
in the article, or by the rules in effect for the prior 30+ years.

I merely proved that _your_ interpretation of what that questionable
'authority' says, as well as what the official rules say, is erroneous.

The article _is_ mostly accurate in what it says relevant to the birth
certificate requirements for a passport. *YOUR* "interpretation",
however -- that Obama's short-version certificate does not meet those
requirements -- is demonstrably INCORRECT. You insist on your own
interpretation of what a 'certified birth certificate' is, CONTRARY to
the way the U.S. State Department defines that term -- for passport
application purposes.

While the widely-published Obama Hawaii short version certificate clearly
does not meet _your_ definition of a 'certified birth certificate',
it *DOES* meet all the requirements of the U.S. State Department for the
State Department's use of that document as a 'certified birth certificate'.

It's _your_ claim that he was a citizen of Indonesia. The burden of
proof lies with you. Where is the proof that the school verified
the citizenship of _any_ student, as distinct from accepting at face
value what a parent/guardian -- who may or MAY NOT have been telling
the truth -- said?

>I think you must be mentally ill-equipped since I've mentioned
>that my son born in Spain had it automatically.

Sorry, your words are simply _not_ memorable enough to be worth
remembering.

But, then, _YOU_ are demonstrably mentally ill-equipped, given your
repeated failures to to recognize hard facts, complete with official
cites, when they are shoved in your face. Thus your 'thoughts' about
mental deficiencies of others carry absolutely no weigh with any
'reasonable person'.

Here's a simple challenge;
Using the official U.S. State Department requirements, as published
in 22 CFR 50.42(a), or on the U.S. State Department Web-site, at:
<http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_830.html>
Please identify *WHICH* specific requirement(s) that the widely-
published Hawaii 'short version' birth certificate fails to meet.
If you want to claim it is not 'certified', please identify which
of the requirements of _that_ term, AS DEFINED on the travel.state.gov
that it fails to meet.

You can use either the current, "more restrictive" version of those
rules (as shown on either of the authoritative references mentioned
above), or you can change ".. the full name of the parent(s) ..." to
'... the name of the parent(s) ...', (simply eliding the word 'full'),
and have the version of the requirements that have been in effect
for the prior 30+ years. Your choice.

Before responding you may wish to review the high-quality, high-resolution
images at:
<http://factcheck.org/2008/08/born-in-the-usa/>
A site run by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of
Pennsylvania, with no connections to any political party or political
agenda.

You have repeatedly asserted your belief that that document is not valid
for passport purposes. Here's your chance to back up your bluster, by
identifying *which* document requirements it fails to meet.

I'm willing to bet that you will either ignore this or respond with
bafflegab and bullshit about how it's not part of your question; that
you will -not- provide any specifics, -nor- admit that you cannot do so.
Of course, your failure to do so, for whatever reason _will_ 'speak for
itself', regardless of how much bullshit you attempt to bury that failure
in.

Which is relevant, how, to the rules for someone who may have been
traveling under a passport of different nationality? It is the
_issuing_ country that determines the rules on such matters.

What do you know about _Indonesia's_ rules, at that time, for passports?

FALSE TO FACT. You have mis-parsed what I wrote.
Rephrase for clarity; The Department of vital statistics of the issuing
State 'certified' that the information on that form was a 'true copy' of
the facts on file with the State.

FALSE TO FACT. Rephrasing for clarity: The "Department of Vital State"
of the issuing State, certified the document was a 'true copy' of the
facts on file WITH said State Government offices. The issuing State
had no idea of what use the document was to be put,

What -your- certificate is and what the U.S. State Department requires
are very different things. Review the actual State Department requirements.

>Apparently neither you or Obama can obtain one of these,

You're blowing bullshit again.

My _long_form_ birth certificate is a laser-printed copy of a digital
image of a (poor quality) microfilmed copy of a typewritten document
filled out by a member of the Hospital's staff who was -not- present
at the birth. That staff member is the only person who's signature
shows on the document. *EVERYTHING* on the document is 'technically'
'hearsay', since it is 3rd party reportage, by someone who was *NOT*
present. However, as the form states, all the information was taken
from an interview with the mother, said interview having taken place
a few days after the actual birth.

Which is NOT the article *I* was basing my conclusion on.

http://traveltips.usatoday.com/can-stop-one-getting-passport-21216.ht...

"One of the key requirements for applying for a passport in the
United States is that the applicant provide proof of U.S.
citizenship. Primary proof includes a previously issued U.S.
passport that has not been damaged; a certified copy of a birth
certificate issued by the city, county or state; a consular
report of birth abroad or certification of birth; a
naturalization certificate; or a certificate of citizenship.
Secondary proof includes a combination of early public records
(such as a baptismal certificate, census record, early school
record, family Bible record, doctor's record of post-natal care),
which must be accompanied by a state-issued Letter of No Record."
*****************

The ARTICLE states exactly WHEN a certificate of live birth is
acceptable and the SOURCE of who is expected to furnish such a
document in lieu of a
certified birth certificate.

" a consular report of birth abroad or certification of birth"

First you provide any verifiable reference that a footprint is a required
part of a Hawaii long-form birth certificate in 1961. I bet you can't.

It is standard trick of the intellectually dishonest to demand the
'impossible' -- a thing that does not exist. So first you must prove
that what you demand _actually_ exists for Hawaii certificates.


Note: Obama's long-form certificate is signed by his mother (on 8-7-61);
by the attending M.D on '8-8-61'; and a date-stamp shows that it was
'accepted' by the "registrar general's" office on that same date (the
stamp reads 'Aug -8 1961') The M.D. has a typical doctor's scrawl,
making the last name hard to decipher -- it appears to read "David A
Smila{something}".

>Stop trying to confuse his certificate
>of live birth with an actual certified birth certificate. It may
>be "acceptable" but it is NOT an actual birth certificate.

I am not trying to 'confuse' anything. I claim only that it _is_
sufficient, as "certified birth certificate" by the U.S. State Department
definition of that term, for a passport application.

YOU have repeatedly, _falsely_, claimed that that short version
certificate is "not acceptable" for a passport. That is the only
thing you've said on the matter that I have disputed. The fact
remains that BY U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT RULES, the short version
certificate _DOES_ QUALIFY as a 'certified birth certificate', contrary
to what you insist the words mean.

You have never been able to identify any specific deficiency in that
document, when judged by the OFFICIAL U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT STANDARDS
for a 'certified birth certificate'.

Apparently you have chosen to lie, or fail to admit that you can't
find any such deficiency.

You are the one who chose to lie -- when you claimed the Hawaii short

You lie, as usual. Neither the article, nor the underlying Federal
regulations *ever* use the language "certificate of live birth".
That claim is, pure and simple, a figment of your imagination.

Furthermore, since Obama's short-version birth certificate meets
all the legal requirements -- AS the U.S. State Department defines
the term -- for a 'certified birth certificate', any 'alternate'
forms of identification are irrelevant.

You are so blind that you even quote the language that proves you
are a liar. The requirements for a 'certified copy of a birth
certificate', are EXPLICITLY defined by the U.S. State Department,
and the Hawaii short-version certificate meets *all* the legal
requirements for such a document.

You continue to insist that *your* interpretation of what a
'certified birth certificate' means trumps that of the U.S. State
Department, for purposes of a passport application.

You are wrong about that.

If you want to claim that The Hawaii document does not meet the
_U.S._State_Department_ requirements for a 'certified birth certificate',
as opposed to what you 'think' the term means, you will have to identify
_WHICH_REQUIREMENT_ for such a document that the State Department has
laid out, that said document fails to meet.

Since you cannot do so, you will provide more bullshit, bafflegab, and
further attempts to change the subject.

Some of the original confusion here seems to be due to the fact that
some hospitals have issued certificates of live birth that are merely
souvenirs with no legal standing, while Hawaii calls their official birth
certificates a certificate of live birth on the document. This subject has
been so beaten to death here that the people who cannot understand the
difference at this point can't understand because they refuse to understand
just about anything that runs counter to their preconceived notions.

Why not? My son was born in an Air Force hospital in Spain yet
his birth certificate has his footprint and he was born 2 months
before El Doofus.

When are you going to answer the question? Anybody know what
kind of documentation got Obama his first passport? All your
blathering is your best attempt
to avoid answering that question. All this drivel about an
"acceptable" document is NOT an answer, it's speculation on your
part but fails to answer the question.

Can YOU prove he wasn't traveling as Barry Sotero, the name he
was using at the time of his international travel and also the
name he used to register as an Indonesian citizen in an
Indonesian school?

If so, hop to it and give up with the smokescreen.

Does *any* Hawaii birth certificate of that vintage have footprints on

I will note that _every_ long-form birth certificate I have seen of that
vintage, from more than a dozen states, did *NOT* include footprints.
This is not to say that -some- certificate =may= have them, but it is
demonstrably _NOT_ a universal requirement.

Linus specializes in bullshit and 'asking the impossible', when he
doesn't have anything constructive to say.

More bullshit, bafflegab, and changing the subject.

And your experience in Spain is relevant to requirements set by the
State of Hawaii for birth certificates issued there.

Or maybe you are so ignorant that you don't know that each state sets the
requirements for birth certifies in that state?

You are a liar. In the first response I provided an exact answer
to your question, as asked. I identified the only people who _do_
know, authoritatively, and suggested that you contact *them* for an
answer.

>All this drivel about an "acceptable" document is NOT an answer,

*YOU* introduced the 'drivel' -- by claiming the document was not
acceptable. Thank you for admitting that it *was* drivel. <grin>

>it's speculation on your part but fails to answer the question.

FALSE TO FACT.

a) It is not speculation; it is legal FACT.
b) It addresses the 'claim of fact' YOU made that the widely published
Hawaii short-form certificate 'does not meet the requirements' for
a passport.
c) I _did_ address your 'question' -- identifying the parties who _do_
know, authoritatively, and recommending you contact them.

Note: Linus offers more bullshit, bafflegab, and "changing the subject".

In the spirit of _that_ question:
Can YOU _prove_ that you have stopped beating your wife?

On point, can you prove that he *was* using that name on his international
travel?

If so, hop to it, and give up on the 'drivel', bullshit, and bafflegab.

By the way, the use of an 'assumed name' is _not_ illegal, *unless* it
is being used to defraud. Was he attempting to defraud the school, or
anyone else, for that matter? If so, who? And how was the fraudulent
scheme perpetrated?

" certified copy of a birth certificate issued by the city,

Now just answer the question: Anybody KNOW what kind of documentation got Obama his first passport". Notice I did NOT
ask for speculation on what kind of documentation was used. His early international travels were as Barry Sotero....as far as
we know. Did he have a passport under that name?

Not true. Robert doesn't KNOW anything. He speculates on the
documentation used for Obama's first passport....something any
fool can do.

Then he writes 10,000 words trying to cover up the fact that he
didn't know the answer.

We DO know that Obama went by the name Barry Sotero during the
years he lived in Indonesia and was enrolled as an Indonesian
citizen in an Indonesian school.
Was Obama adopted by his stepfather that he was using the Sotero
name? If so, did he travel back to Hawaii using that name? We
don't know....Robert doesn't
know either but is convinced he does.

My daughter was born in 1964, and there's no footprint on her birth
certificate.

You said you had never seen a birth certificate with a footprint
for someone born in 1961.....or words to that effect.

According to the article I used to reach that conclusion, a
certified birth certificate was first choice and certificates of
birth were expected
from consular officials.....which would mean that your
"acceptable" document would be submitted by a consular
official....and consuls work in foreign countries.

As you know, Obama has squadrons of lawyers blocking access to
that information.

He was using it in Indonesia. Was he adopted by his stepfather?
Or just using a fake name to get enrolled in school?

Do YOU know what name he was traveling under? If so, prove it.

We don't KNOW but using the name Sotero (who was a citizen of
Indonesia) and registering as a citizen may well have hidden the
fact that he was
a foreigner and couldn't attend that school......at least for
free. It may well have been fraud. Maybe you should look into
it? Obama could be the first president to
commit fraud before the age of 10.

In article <9msfr9...@mid.individual.net>,
BFD applies. That language is inoperable, since there _is_ a document
in existence that meets _all_ the U.S. State Department requirements
to be called a 'certified birth certificate'.

If you claim otherwise, please identify precisely _which_ State Department
requirement that it does _not_ meet. i.e. what required information is
missing, or which of the factors that make a document a 'certified'
certificate PER U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT definition, is absent.

No bafflegab, bullshit,or other handwaving, about *your* definitions of
'COLB' vs a 'birth certificate', just apply the STATE DEPARTMENT'S
definition, and show where the document fails to meet _that_ definition.
If you can, that is.

>" certified copy of a birth certificate issued by the city,
>county or state" is the primary choice.....which means Obama
>didn't have one that met that description.

So you falsely claim. And are apparently incapable of backing that
claim by identifying any deficiency in the Hawaii short version
certificate that fails to meet the U.S. State Department requirements
for the State Department's definition of a 'certified birth certificate'.

You might find it worthwhile to read:
<http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/Policy_Memo_5_15_2001.PDF>

Where official notice is given that the *ONLY* form of _certified_
copies of vital records that Hawaii will produce are the 'computer-
generated 'abstracts'. Including the information that that change is
being made to comply with statutory requirements _against_ disclosure
of some information contained in those records.

Just answer the question: Which of the enumerated requirements for a
'certified birth certificate' AS PRESCRIBED BY THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT
does the Hawaii short version certificate fail to comply with? to be
precise, which of the components that the State Department requires for a
document to be considered 'certified' is absent? Or, if not that, which
of the required elements for a valid 'birth certificate' is absent?

To make your answering simple, here are the State Department criteria
for a 'certified' birth certificate:
"*A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed,
impressed or multicolored seal, registrar's signature, and the date
the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must
be within 1 year of your birth."

Do YOU claim that:
1) It lacks the registrar's 'raised, embossed, impressed, or multi-
colored seal?
Fact: it has an impressed seal of the Registrar's office.
2) It lacks the registrar's signature?
Fact: it has such a signature
3) It was not filed within the 1 year deadline?
Fact: the date of filing with the registrar's office was on the
4th day day after the birth. Birth 7:24 PM 8/4/1961, filed with
the registrar's office on 8/8/1961.

Hmmm, the facts don't seem to favor any of those possibilities. Therefore
it does meet the requirements for a 'certified' copy.

Thus you must be claiming that the document itself is deficient -- because
it omits some piece of 'required' information. Those requirements are:

"The birth certificate must show the full name of the applicant, the
applicant's place and date of birth, the full name of the parent(s),
and must be signed by the official custodian of birth records, bear
the seal of the issuing office, and show a filing date within one
year of the date of birth."

The last three requirements are those which satisfy the 'certified' copy
requirement, already disposed of?

Therefore, do YOU claim that the short-version document is deficient
because:
4) It lacks the full name of the applicant?
Fact; it contains the full name of the applicant.
5) It lacks the applicant's place and date of birth?
Fact: it contains the place and date of birth
6) It lacks the full name of the parent(s)?
Fact: it contains the full names of both parents
7) It lacks the Signature of the official custodian of records?
Fact: it contains the signature of of the official custodian of
records.

Or are you (8) claiming it is 'not valid for a passport application'
for some _other_ reason, despite meeting ALL the legal requirements
of the U.S. State Department regarding a certified birth certificate
used for a passport application.

>Now just answer the question: Anybody KNOW what kind of
>documentation got Obama his first passport".

That question has already been asked AND ANSWERED. Yes, there are
people who do know. But the only people who _do_ know -- other than
the applicant -- would be committing a felony by disclosing that
information.

You're not deliberately suborning the commission of a felony, are you?
I'm sure you recognize that doing -that- is a felony in and of itself.

Linus lies. Robert _KNOWS_ who has the answer to Linus's question.
Robert provided that information in the initial response.

Linus is also 'full of it', regarding the difference between a
'certificate of live birth' an a 'certified birth certificate'.

An official Hawaii long-form birth certificate carries the title
'Certificate of Live Birth".

Linus lies. Robert has *never* claimed he knows anything about those
matters. And Linus cannot produce one word where I _have_ so claimed.
I have raised questions about Linus's claims the _he_ cannot (or will
not) answer. And, where Linus has claimed a thing _must_ be a particular
way, I have raised other possibilities. I do not claim that they *are*
true -- I _don't_ know -- but the mere _existence_ of the alternative
requires that it be 'proven _not_ to be the case' before the claim that
something else 'must be true' has any validity. Linus is apparently
unable to disprove those possibilities, and is reduced to the next-to-
last-refuge of those with no case -- attacking the messenger.
