Birthers still have issue with President Obama’s Citizenship

Recent comments from the likes of CNN’s Lou Dobbs when he reported that, “Hawaii officials had destroyed Obama’s original 1961 birth certificate,” without citing a source seems to be adding more fuel to the fire of the birthers’ claim that the 44th U.S. President is not a citizen of the United States of America.

So who are the birthers and what issues do they have with the first African American president?

The so-called “birthers” opinionatedly subscribed to the theory that America’s first Africa-American president was born in Kenya, they are claiming that Obama’s white mother, Stanley Dunham Obama, chose to give birth not in Oahu with her parents nearby, but in a hospital in Kenya. Then she was so clever,according to them, that in August 1961, she ran a birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser in case someday her son with the politically catchy name of Barack Hussein Obama II ran for president.

In an attempt to quash persistent rumors that President Obama was not born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, Hawaii’s health director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, reiterated recently that she has personally seen Obama’s original birth certificate in the Health Department’s archives.

"I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai’i State Department of Health verifying Barrack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago…."

On Oct. 31, Fukino originally tried to put an end to the belief among so-called "birthers" that Obama was not born in the United States and thus was ineligible to run for the office of president.

In addition to Dr. Chiyome Fukino’s statement, Hawaii’s Republican Gov. Linda Lingle have also vouched for the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate. The nonpartisan organization, Factcheck.org also vouched for the authenticity. Records are available to show that the Honolulu Advertiser did run a birth announcement in August 1961.

    Why waste your time doing an article on these FOOLS, the so-called Birthers.

    The is a clear indication of hidden racism. They will do ever thing possible to prevent a Black president.

    The reality is, President Obama will not be the first or last non-white president to become President of the U.S.A they need to get over it.
