Has Barack Obama validated his birth?

Answer 1

Yes, he has. From wikipedia "In 2008 the Obama campaign released his birth certificate, certified by the Hawaii Department of Health, and posted a scanned image of it online. The posted certificate states that Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.[1] The certificate also states, "This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding". Frequent arguments of those questioning Obama's eligibility are that he has not released a photocopy of his "original" or "long form" birth certificate, but rather a redacted "short form" version. It has also been claimed that the use of the term "certification of live birth" on the document means it is not equivalent to one's "birth certificate". These arguments have been debunked numerous times by media investigations,[13] every judicial forum that has addressed the matter, and Hawaiian government officials-a consensus of whom have concluded that the certificate released by the Obama campaign is indeed his official birth certificate."

Numerous courts, and even the Supreme court has turned down challenges by conspiracy theorists who have no evidence to support their allegations that Obama was born in "Kenya, Indonesia, etc" and some even claim that Hawaii born does not equal "natural born".

In 2008, the Honolulu Advertiser posted on its web site a screenshot of its August 13, 1961 birth announcement taken from its microfilmed archives. Such notices were sent to newspapers routinely by the Hawaii Department of Health.
