And as it happens, I know a little something about the provenance of Obama\u2019s birth certificate.<\/p>\n<p>I was born in Hawaii and\u200c know a lot about the place. My mom\u2019s family is Mormon going back generations, and in the 1950s, my\u2063 mother attended the church college on the \u200bNorth Shore of Oahu \u2014 later known\u200b as BYU-Hawaii \u200d\u2014 before Hawaii was\u2064 even a state. My mom\u2019s younger sister also went to BYU-Hawaii and stayed there. She married a native Hawaiian, and I have native Hawaiian \u2063cousins and family. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1122369402\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7e0c024714cc181d464c0982e9688722 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-7e0c024714cc181d464c0982e9688722\"><\/div>\n<p>My father was also a career Marine, so my dad\u2063 was stationed at \u2063Kaneohe for six years starting in 1970. My dad spent a lot of time in Vietnam, so I guess Hawaii was as close as one could reasonably get to putting an officer with a family into something of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-barack-obamas-birth-certificate\/\" title=\"Embracing Obama's Birth Certificate: My Journey\">absurd commuting distance<\/a>. I was born the last year we were \u200cstationed there. (For what it\u2019s worth, Mom has never quite forgiven Dad for insisting \u200dwe\u2064 sell the house we lived in near the beach when we moved.)<\/p>\n<p>Because my\u2062 parents were older when I\u200b was born \u2014 Dad was\u2064 40, Mom was 37 \u2014 I wasn\u2019t born \u2062at a military hospital. They \u200cwere worried that hospital didn\u2019t have \u200dthe facilities to handle any complications that arose from mom\u2019s \u201cgeriatric pregnancy.\u201d So I was born\u2063 at a regular hospital\u2062 off-base.<\/p>\n<p>Years \u2064later, Obama is running for president, and his birth certificate \u2014 \u200cand the \u2063supposed veracity thereof \u2014 becomes an issue. (Always remember \u200bthat the birther accusation was originally ginned up by Hillary Clinton \u2062bagman \u2064Sidney Blumenthal before being taken up by the right wing.) One day, \u200bwe\u2019re discussing the whole birther mess and\u200c my mom casually mentions, \u201cWell, you were born in the same hospital as Barack Obama, you know.\u201d I thought, \u201cThat\u2019s odd \u2014 I don\u2019t remember\u200b being born in Kenya?\u201d (I \u200bkid, I kid.) Anyway, I made a note\u2063 of this tidbit and\u200c filed it\u200c away somewhere in\u200c the back of\u2063 my brain.<\/p>\n<p>Now flash forward to last year. \u2063I went out to Oregon for a few weeks because, after 38 years, my parents had decided to\u200c sell the large-ish house I grew up in. They needed a lot of help\u200c packing things up and disposing\u200b of \u2062decades of accumulated detritus. At some point, in the middle of packing up everything in the house,\u2064 one of my parents hands me something and says, \u201cHere, this \u200cis yours.\u201d\u200d It\u2019s a thick \u200dfolder full of stuff from my childhood: old report cards,\u2063 drawings, awards, etc. As I\u2019m leafing through this pile of papers, I \u200bcome across my own birth certificate. And it\u2019s startling.\u2064 I remember thinking, \u201cThis document looks really familiar.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e9d34d0d00fc1bf6ad2caea803abad05 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e9d34d0d00fc1bf6ad2caea803abad05\"><\/div>\n<p>So\u2064 I remember what my mom told me, and I Google the info on my own birth certificate. Yup, Kapiolani Maternity, \u200csame hospital as Barack Hussein Obama. And then it hits me: The reason why this \u2062document looks so familiar has nothing to do with me having \u2064seen it before \u2014 I\u2064 probably hadn\u2019t seen my own birth certificate in well over 30\u200d years\u200b and remembered \u2062nothing about it \u2014 but because \u200bthe green piece of paper \u200cI was holding in my hands \u200dthat says \u201cCERTIFICATE\u2063 OF LIVE BIRTH\u201d at the top <a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/rss_viewer\/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">looks pretty much identical to the birth certificate Obama released<\/a>. The very \u2062same birth certificate that spurred the Zapruder-like analysis \u200bfrom the fever swamps insisting it wasn\u2019t genuine. I just replaced a credit card (again) for fraudulent charges, so no, I\u2019m not enough of an idiot to\u2063 scan and upload my birth certificate to the internet to prove it to you. You\u2019ll just have to take \u200bmy word for it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I know Obama is 15 years \u200bolder than I\u2062 am. (In \u2064fact, Punahou high school and\u2064 Kapiolani are on the same street \u2064in Honolulu, and I was born around 1 p.m. on a Thursday, so it\u2019s\u200c pretty amusing to think \u2062that at the moment I was\u2064 being born, the future president was half a mile away behind the \u2064bleachers \u200cgetting \u200dhigh with <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/blogs\/politics\/2012\/05\/obama-and-his-pot-smoking-choom-gang\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Choom Gang<\/a>.) But in the era before everything \u200bwas computerized, it\u2019s entirely possible that the methods of record keeping would \u2062stay consistent for 15 years. Or it\u2019s possible that \u200bhis parents lost it and got a copy some \u200byears later, around the time I was born.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there\u2019s plenty of evidence that Obama has invented parts of his memoir out of whole \u200dcloth, twisted the truth about his past relationships, and been outright mendacious about his association with \u2062terrorists and radicals\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But I happen to think his birth certificate is genuine. Otherwise, my own birth certificate is probably\u200c fake, and I\u2019d hate for any controversy\u2063 to\u2063 derail my soon-to-be-announced 2024 presidential \u2064campaign.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-8d9e3be41986a18f946826bc30f5b909 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-8d9e3be41986a18f946826bc30f5b909\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-13c1da4373d1c439d84c4e665abbc8f2 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-13c1da4373d1c439d84c4e665abbc8f2\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since my article on Barack Obama&#8217;s inconsistencies and possible lies, I&#8217;ve received comments and social media speculation about his birth certificate being fake.
