One is from a military hospital and the other is not. The military has
its own ways of doing things. The birth certificate thing is kooky and
this is coming from a guy who actually does believes in a fair amount
of fringe stuff.

You don't say. You mean people who claim Obama was not born in the US are
not entirely sane? Coulda fooled me.

Obama has deep roots in the US. The Dunham side of his family goes back
to the Massachusetts colony in the early 1630's where he and my wife
share a 10 times great grandfather.

Both of them are State of Hawaii forms. The top one is the original and
the bottom one is a copy the State issues. As it goes, the state likes
to keep the original - go figure! One might utilize a form like this to
fulfill requests for, oh I don't know... stuff like... maybe... proof
that you're eligible to run for the office of President of the US?

The copy is rather plain and undistinguished looking but it does have a
nifty state seal embossed on it - which is not shown in the photo. I
think they should hot glue a gold sticker with a faux ribbon or
something to spiff it up a bit. I'll bet that that would satisfy the
idiots out there who claim that it doesn't look "real." :-)

One thing's for sure, Obama is more legit that me - I was born in the
Territory of Hawaii, he was born in the State of Hawaii. My family's
roots in America only goes back 3 generations - his goes back a lot
further. For this reason, I cannot, in good conscience, run for office
of president. :-)

Huh? You are an American citizen, I guess, and like many others born in
places that were colonies, you could run.

Just my lame-ass joke. This place became a state when I was around 5. I
am eligible to run, however, unless a series of truly wondrous events
takes place, I suspect this will have little effect on my life.

It's because you're not sufficiently evil. You should really work on
that. :-)

I didn't write that. I wasn't born in Hawaii. My blather got snipped
but "Christopher Helms Wrote" miraculously (or maliciously) survived.
The longer some of these threads go on the more convoluted
attributions sometimes get.

Which is a very good reason to top post, IMO.

no, it's a good reason to be careful with your attributions.
