he did
During the 2008 presidential race, the Obama campaign released a shorter version of his birth certificate that was authorized by Hawaii. It is a valid, legal, state-certified birth certificate and is the only kind HI usually gives. On April 27, 2011, President Obama and the White House released the long-form version of his Hawaii birth certificate. The state usually does not release this version, but the president received a waiver after a request from his attorneys. The long-form birth certificate includes more information than the short form, including the name of the Honolulu hospital where Obama was born and the name of the attending physician.
Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii. He released a copy of his birth certificate recently. I presume the original is on file in Honolulu.
there is a lot of speculation about this. some says he is and others say he isn't. obama says he is but he wont show his birth certificate to prove his birth in america. also his grandma says he was born in kenya.
It's hard to know how much he has really spent defending his alleged birth certificate. That tends to be somewhat confidential information. The fact that he won't allow the actual certificate to be released is a bit dubious and suspicious. The certificate that has been released is not actually a real certificate. It certifies there was a live birth but the hospital or the attending is not named on the certificate, which you need for it to be an "official" certificate. The President could solve this problem by simply allowing the release of the certificate.
President Obama's birth certificate is not fake, and has been repeatedly verified as legitimate by Hawaii's governor, health commissioner, various journalists from all the major networks, the hospital where he was born, etc.
He didn't pay to have it forged, because the one he released is real.
Actually, he was born in Hawaii. Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. In April of 2011, the long form of President Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate was released, in order to remove the birth certificate question as a distraction from the other challenges we face as a country. See Related Links for an image of the birth certificate.
Yes, the hospital Obama was born in existed at the time.
There were no demands for Obama's birth certificate. The Obama campaign made the birth certificate public to dispel rumors that he was not born in the United States.
It's not. Barack Obama's birth certificate is a genuine document issued by the State of Hawaii.
The "long certificate" proves that Barack Obama was born in the US.
During his campaign for president during 2008, Barack Obama produced a copy of his certificate of live birth in the United States to the public for official circulation. ----------------- The above answer is true however the answer to your question is no. To date, nobody has seen Barack Obama's birth certificate. The document referenced above is a Certificate of Live Birth which is, theoretically, an abstract of a hospital generated birth certificate. Obviously, transcription errors are possible as is the possibility of deliberate tampering especially where money and powerful people are involved. There was also an issue with the fact that Hawaii allowed verbal testimony when the birth was not in a hospital. Suffice it to say that a COLB should be adequate to establish eligibility for the most powerful job in the World today.
