It has never been proven or disproven that he was born in Hawaii (or anywhere). The birth certificate produced was a computer generated certificate. Though legal, it was not a photo copy of his actual birth cert. That has yet to be seen by anyone except supposedly the clerk ar the records archive. The Governor of Hawaii (obama's friend) also tried to find the hospital records to stop the rumor. Using all of his power to do so, he openly admitted that there is no record of obama or his mother ever having been in the hospital that he was supposedly born it. So, he has yet to prove his citizenship. I know it it were me, I'd produce the real thing and stop the rumors. All that you have to do is request it. Why doesn't he?

This is so funny! Out-there (uneducated or just idiotic) peopel are why this site is needed - you (not all of you, just the crazy ones) are the reason that crazy urban legends get started and PROPIGATE! President Obama (yes, lets use his proper title) wouldn't BE president if he were not an American citizen. Don't you think that he would have been booted out of the primaries if he were not?? Are you so ignorantly arrogant that you really think you know something that the people who are in power don't know?? You're funny. :)

There is a report out that a secret service agent working for Obama saw a tail coming out of his back side and that it was scaly looking. I dont even think he is an earthling. Oh My God, Jesus help us! agghhhaagg.

Why would anyone belive anything in the media, to include your site. Somebody pays you just like the rest of us, or are you not for profit? and just want to tell us the truth.
—Guest Johnnyo

why should'nt we know about our president....it's OUR country...(at least for the time being).....
—Guest william heffron

Wake up, lemmings! Put down the kool-aid & have yourself a cup of "joe". Let's get rid of this fraudulent "president" before it's too late!

I don't like Obama either, but at least I dislike him for things that he's actually done instead of depending on some bogus idea that he isn't a U.S. citizen. I'm seriously thinking about voting third party next time, because Obama is a fake Democrat, and the Republicans are all either stupid or crazy.

So, are you saying you voted for Obama because he's black? Why do you assume that skin color is an issue? Wasn't for me. Why don't you defend his policies instead of his skin color? How about defending his and "NON TRANSPARENCY" (I believe "transparent government" was a big selling point for him) instead of his skin color. What about defending his RECKLESS spending (spending on his watch; not on the watch of previous presidents), which was more than all presidents combined, instead of the color of his skin, which has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING. Oh, I see, that would make too much sense.

That's right, Guest Genesis, pull the race card. When the facts don't work, that's a great fallback. If Obama were green with purple stripes, he would be the same pitiful leader he is now. I think it's great we have a black (half-black) man in office - way overdue. Skin color should have ceased being an issue eons ago. I don't know whether or not he's a natural citizen, but I would imagine there are so many people that think he's a fraud for any number of reasons. This whole citizenship thing gives everyone something to focus on to get him out of office. And, of course, we're back to blaming Bush for everything. So, you don't think two years is enough of a chance? Did Bush raise the deficit? Absolutely? Did Obama raise the deficit more than ALL presidents combined? Absolutely? Finance 101. Your household finances are in the red. Do you spend more money to fix it, or do you cut back to fix it? Come on. Are you really that slow?

NO way is Obummer an American. He's a liar, a fraud, & a destroyer. Can't wait to see God throw him in hell where he belongs.
—Guest Deb1

IF OBAMA is a U.S. citizen (which I don't believe 4 a moment) where's the indisputable evidence?? IF Obama had something he would provide it. It is non-existent and even Bill O'reilly has been hood-winked by this unknown person residing in OUR house and 'attempting' to run OUR country!!
—Guest happy31

We all know he uses every situation to distract the people from what he is silently doing with the other hand................ like a magician. Look only what he's done to the manufacturing segment of our country....... the greatest country EVER has become a nation of numb nuts that can't get out of their own way. We will lose our largest mfg. source when Boeing moves to China because of our own ignorance ; and the unions will put him back into office to allow him to continue making his self serving decisions. His illegal "CZARS" are running our country into the ground.

It is unbelievable, the depths to which the Republicans will go to undermine the current (Democratic) president. This dates back to Jimmy Carter - The slurs and criticism, stretching of the truth. the GO P are experts in dirty tricks - they invented it.
—Guest Homer Burdick

I don't really care one way or the other if he is a natural born citizen or not, I just think the POTUS should follow the law, just like every other US citizen. Nixon wasn't above the law, and neither is Obama. He should not be circulating COPIES of his "birth certificate" or any other necessary documents on the internet, instead he should bring forth the ACTUAL DOCUMENT to a CREDIBLE source to get it checked out, and make it all very obvious, no secrets, no copies, just plain as day facts happening.
