Yes, Obama was, in fact, born.

Again, what some people have physical possession of at one point in their lives does not mean they will ALWAYS have possession of same at a later date. *&%^ happens.

Funny, quite a few of us don't see "conspiracy". We see an independent young mother pursuing her education, returning to a place she once lived.

Good for her.

Surely any group smart enough to pull off covering up as big as you all say happened would be smart enough to give Obama an apple-pie American middle name like 'James' or 'Robert'.
It wouldn't be as hard to pull off as you imagine. All that's necessary to obtain a Hawaiian birth certificate regardless of where you were actually born is to document the fact that your parent was a Hawaiian resident for at least one year prior to your birth.

To jump to such a conclusion is to completely abandon rational thought.
Rational thought leads one to conclude that no one has come forward to state, and there is no evidence whatsoever that shows, that any of Obama's mother's high school friends helper her out when she came back to Seattle to live in an apartment with her newborn.

Just a guess here...but I would presume that an out-of-state certificate would, in fact, list the child's correct state of birth...not Hawaii.

You know, to be legal and all.

And again, babysitting is completely IRRELEVANT.

To continue to pursue this line of conspiracy is absolutely pointless.

I think you're trying way too hard to see something that isn't there.
And a woman of any age with a newborn baby likely needing help from time to time ... has what exactly to do with President Obama's eligibility?

Well, why not throw some sexism into the argument, eh?

I think you're trying way too hard to see something that isn't there, and I guess that may be as good a definition of a birther that there is.

If it happened that way, answer my question a few posts back: why didn't they give him a more American middle name if they were going to go through all the trouble to give him a fake birth place? In the big scheme of conspiracy theories, why did the forget this little detail for the future president of the U.S.A.?

Seriously, who would expect a bunch of kids just out of high school, in their first year at college to want to baby sit for a friend when they could be out partying? Lots of people are also happy to leave all their high school classmates in the dust and start a new life without them. You are trying to read something into a totally irrelevant line of thought. How about giving some reasons why this is important in the world of birthers.

Yes, he had dual citizenship. So did President Chester Arthur.

He seems to have had it as recently as 2006, when he would have needed a passport for his trip to Africa.
