This certificate was given as evidence of proof to Obama being a citizen. In fact there were two cert.'s shown. Someone who examined them thought they were not real. There is still some controversy over their authenticity. It has gone thru the courts but not resolved. The court only said that the petitioner had no standing to question it's authenticity, then dismissed the suit. Some say they have proof on tape that o's Kenyan grandmom said he was born in Kenya. Others say his relatives here in Hawaii say he was born here, but, each of the two relatives cited different birth hospitals. Who knows what the truth is. BUT, I think we should get to the bottom of it prior to our most important election. Why can we not get any info about this guys past? No college records, thesis, Ill. voting record etc. Why? Just asking.
