Myth Lingers About President Obama's Citizenship


Reality host and perhaps a future political candidate for the U.S. presidency, Donald Trump, has been pushing the claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. This myth has haunted President Obama since he ran for office and skeptics have continued to debate his identity even to this day. The state of Hawaii released this copy of his birth certificate which documents the presidents birth August 4th, 1961. CNN and other sources have seen the document and verified that it is official.
Skeptics claim that there is no signature or raised seal on the live birth certificate. However, the group www.factcheck.com have reviewed the original certificate and found there is a stamp and a raised seal. Also, the announcement of Barack Obama's birth appeared in the Honolulu Advertiser on August 13th, 1961, and a day later in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. However, suspiciousion continues to cause debate over the validity of this information.
In my opinion, the document has clearly been reviewed by hundreds of administrations and organizations that have proven its authenticity. I think many of this these skeptics, including Mr.Donald Trump, are unwilling to accept the truth that a man of another race is in office. Do these people not realize that he is in the most important office in government and that the FBI, CIA, and other agencies didn't review every piece of documented evidence of his past? It seems ridiculous to me that people are still even considering the fact that he is not American when the document above proves the exact opposite.
