What's probably most ironic in regards to the bizarre "controversy" surrounding Barack Obama's birthplace is the fact that he's actually the only sitting President in US history to possess made his birth record public (it's online for everybody to see and has been confirmed by the State of Hawaii to his real birth certificate.)

Isn't it funny how the President who has provided more proof than any other of his birthplace will be the one who has these ridiculous rumors (such as the completely insane baseless myth he was born in Kenya) swirling around him? By funny, I mean funny "weird" more than funny "ha ha" although in the dark humor kind of way it's funny like that too.

It's clear that you have a certain segment of america population that just dislike that a black "liberal" (he's really not particularly liberal, he'd be right of center generally in most Western democracies and he's a centrist in the US) was elected President in November of 2008 by nearly Tens of millions of votes. They can't stay at home so much that they make up ridiculous conspiracy theories about how precisely the President is hiding his "long form birth record."

So What About That "Long Form Birth Certificate"?

There's really no such thing. What these conspiracy theorists are likely referring to is the "birth certificate" that people sometimes get at a hospital (quite often complete with the baby's footprint, etc) but you that kind is actually simply a souvenir meant for scrapbooks and has absolutely no legal meaning. As an example the hospital souveneir is not acceptable for getting a passport, while the official state certified birth certificate Obama put on the web is.

President Barack Obama - In other words, these "birthers" (the term for the conspiracy theorists who won't admit the obvious fact that Obama came to be in Hawaii) won't accept the state certified birth certificate that Obama has put online because they'd rather see a meaningless souvenir instead. It's this type of ridiculous concept as to be truly hilarious.

There's Only One Type Of State Certified Birth Certificate

When you contact your your birth and order a certified copy of one's birth certificate they send you a particular type of "certificate of live birth" (each state's forms are particular to that state.) In Hawaii they send you the type of document that Obama set up. That's it. There's no other kind. There's nothing he's hiding. Actually, as mentioned at the beginning of this informative article, he's shown a lot more than any President ever.

When you ask for your birth record there's no box you look for "short form" or "long form." There's only 1 official birth certificate document in a condition at any one time (these forms may change over the years of course, which is why many people show examples of forms with increased or less information on them, even in the identical state.)

This Is About The "Birthers" Being Anti-American

election 2012 - So as you can observe there's absolutely nothing to this so named "issue." It's a complete fantasy within the minds of some conspiracy theorists referred to as "birthers" who are looking for any kind of loophole they can find to overturn the democratic will of the American people. To me you cannot get anymore Anti-American than that. If The president isn't their President, they aren't Americans.

You don't need to like President Obama's politics (it's our right as Americans to disagree with all the President) but you should at least respect the office cheap he won the election by nearly Ten million votes.
