Barack Obama's own birth certificate is on file in Hawaii.
Asking where the original is, after the State of Hawaii has told you, is part of the Birther Mantra to always rely upon speculation, innuendo and lies- and ignore any official documents or sources.
Don't be ignorant. Obama and / or his parents must had a birth certificate in order to obtain a passport. Obviously the birth certificate mentions US as country / place of birth otherwise he would not have been issued a US passport in the first place. I am just interested in seeing that birth certificate and comparing that, to the one that was presented to the public in 2007 by the state. I am also interested in why Obama asked the state to issue a certified copy, and didn't present his own, nor has he mentioned that if he had / has one in his possession. Very strange and perplexing.
You have the market cornered on ignorant.
Circumstantial evidence is that Obama or his parents at one time had a legal birth certificate copy. And circumstantial evidence indicates that in 2007 that he no longer did.
Nothing strange or perplexing about that at all. As I mentioned- I don't have any copy of my BC- and I don't need one. If I wanted one, I would do what Senator Obama did- request one from the agency that has the original.
Which he did.
The only thing strange and perplexing is your obsession over a document there is no need for him to have.
And, you don't ask anybody to issue a birth certificate if an agency requests it, you simply show yours, whether it be original or copy, and that would be your proof. You don't understand how it works.
I haven't been asked for my birth certificate since I got my passport decades ago. For jobs- for my license with the government- nada.
But if I were asked for a birth certificate- then I would go get a certified copy of my original- which is on file just like President Obama's- and my certified copy would be acceptable and legal..
And no one would care about what happened to whatever birth certificate I had decades ago.
Most people keep their birth / citizenship certificates in a safe, with other important documents, such as passports, deeds, wills, jewelry etc. So Obama must not have had his own in 2007 then, which adds to the suspicion, as to why not. However, he never stated either way.
Let me break this down:
- Most people keep their birth / citizenship certificates in a safe, with other important documents, such as passports, deeds, wills, jewelry etc- most people don't have a safe- this is just your speculation again
- So Obama must not have had his own in 2007 then, which adds to the suspicion, as to why not. However, he never stated either way- suspicion of what- by whom? There is no requirement that he had kept his copy for 40 years or knew where it was- nor is there anyone but you asking what happened to a copy he might have had sometime up to 40 years previously.
You are as lost as the 9/11 Truthers.
