Answer 3

There was a practice in Hawaii to issue Certifications of Live Birth for foreign born children. Obama's half sister, born in Jakarta Indonesia got one. One does not have to stretch the imagination to assume that the same is the case with Obama. If he was a natural-born citizen, he would have proved it by releasing the original birth certificate including the hospital and attending physician.
