I THINK THOSE MUSLIMS UP NORTH ARE SO SCARED OF WESTERN EDUCATION TO BE EVEN UN-EDUCATED,MAYBE THEY ARE DEVELOPING WESTERN-EDUCATION PHOBIA!

Those disputing with the originality of the president's birth certificate should go contact his mother in the grave yard if they are not satisfied. ILORIN, NIGERIA.

Hello; why doesnt CNN give coverage on killing, wounding and kidnapping the Mojahedin in Ashraf camp in Iraq...we did not give our sons and daughters as soldiers to bring this kind of democracy to Iraq...please give coverage and tell Kurds to back off...or Pahlavi or regime of Iran...whoever has a hand in this...is CNN with them by not giving coverage? thanks

I think google is too dominating so together [yahoo + microsoft] could give them a good competetion leding to more innovative tools.

hi there am just worried about the situation now with the obama birth place shame. i think they should just let him rule in peace, he is trying to move the country out of its deepest recesson.

If Obama was born Barry Obama, why does his birth certificate say Obama? He never showed us his real certificate, only a copy. Anyone can make a fake copy... Barry is hiding something. He needs to come clean. America has been duped.

Do American's have anything else to do but complain and try to find ways to get rid of a president that seems to actually be doing what he can to help them? Boggles my mind. Even if he is not a born and bred American... he could obtain his citizenship and fulfil the the requirement. Sigh.... support the man and stop being so petty.... and bigoted!

Birth Certificate issue? LOL!!! This is nothing more than clutching at straws for a dying republican party .

I'm sorry but this just proves the right wings bitterness that Obama is now president. That women who claimed he was a citizen of Kenya clearly is just basing evidence on hear-say instead of genuine fact. Their is evidence supporting his birth on US soil and just speculation that he isn't, their is no debate, just a bunch of people who just don't want him President

President Obama has been proven, beyond reasonable doubt, that he was born in Hawaii. There is no debate. This is not news. Stop giving it airtime.

why this debate now they should have done this quite along time ago.I bet if it were a genuine concern they wouldnt have let him run for the presidency anyway.lets all shut up and give him all of our support

Why doesn't president Obama just show everyone his Birth Certificate? The "Certificate of Live Birth" is NOT a Birth Certificate, there is a difference. Basically, the difference is that a mother may request a "Certificate of Live Birth" for children not born in the state. Note on a Birth Certificate, the attending physician is named, as is the hospital where the baby is delivered; this is NOT named on a "Certificate of Live Birth" as it is not a Birth Certificate.
So to quiet all the claims, and to dismiss all legal challenges, why doesn't president Obama simply show everyone his Birth Certificate, rather than continuing to spend money (to date over one million dollars has been spent on lawyers by president Obama) and fight in the courts?

Racism still exist around the world, my opinion is, it doesnt matter where peoples come from or where they are born to be president. If they do a good job, why should you be worried!?,
Do you think john mc cain should have done a better job then this president? Barack obama didnt say its easy to fix this job, he said he will try.. atleast he is honest.. some president say false promises to the citizens. I love this president, hes new in the white house, just give him some time. Would you have done a great job, if you are new as a president? everybody starts with no experience and they built up experience over time.. thanks

Re the birth debate and the 'stupidly' comment ..... Why does America and the media focus on comments from small right wing extremists and cover events that would gain little interest in other countries – there is a much more important issue of healthcare which could potentially extend and even save the lives of millions in America. Is it that the average American lacks intelligence ?

It is like my favorite line from Beetlejuice-"I'm going crazy and I'm taking you with me." It seems to me that there is a lot of wishful thinking on the part of the "Wing Nuts", but not a whole hell of a lot of common sense. The good news in all of this is that the Republican Party seems to be coming apart at the seams with no leadership to speak of. Maybe the next seven and a half years will bring the election of another Democrat to follow President Obama. That would really be nice to have common sense leadership for 16 years in a row.

The birth debate would have been overlong ago if Obama had presented the necessary evidence during the campaign when all of this started. This is obviously more than right-wing fanatics with conspiracy theories; this is in, and has been, in court since last year. If Obama was born in Hawaii, then he should (A) produce a birth certificate "we can believe in," and (B) get his story straight with his sister as to which hospital he was born in.

i think this is just cheap blackmail, and it is racist. i am glad the birth certificate is in the public domain and hopefully will put a stop to this ugly trend.
Nigeria

"I want my country back"... sounds irrational ! I think the GOP is going too radical and it makes them look absolutely racist. This is heading to a point of breaking the fundamentals of US rule of law and true justice. If GOP didn't believe in the rule of law that certified Obama birth certificate, then they should go to hell...

I always watch CNN and i think it is the best

Ah, you have to give the conspiracy theorists a little bit of credit! If you have a bad day just read of few theories and your day is a lot better! LOL, the things they come up with. It is just laugheble.

Lou Dobbs and the “Birthers” are just a distraction for what really matters like Audit the Fed and the Neocons wanting to invade Iran. CNN should fire Lou Dobbs. Obama’s birth certificate and birth announcement is all over the internet; oh please get over it.

Hello, I'm a ninetheen year old University student studying in the netherlands. I make it my business to follow amercan news and think it's utterly ridiculous that there is still any question as to the president's birthplace. It has already been confirmed by the officials and should be put to rest . How much longer wil the republicans let there own personal feelings about the President cloud thier minds and Judgment to the truth. the fact that this, is still an issue is beyond me and this just proves that even thought the american poeple have called for change, the politics in America is still THE SAME.

The stupidity and innate racism of MY native country manifests itself -AGAIN-to our public chagrin and disgrace.
How many of us have to die defending the 'land of the free, and the home of the brave'–before we are considered GOOD ENOUGH to LEAD?The males in my family have fought for THE FREEDOM OF THEIR FELLOW AMERICANS SINCE BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR-BEFORE WE WERE CONSIDERED HUMAN!!-Doubtless I have younger cousins, nieces and nephews who are fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq,East Timor, the horn of Africa,Korea,Eastern europe..
In another land , 400 years would have been enough vetting time–clearly there are those, even in the (arguably) most advanced society on Earth, who continue to wait for proof.
What ELSE must we do for you?
Obama is the BEST our country has at this time-otherwise, he wouldn't have WON.
His vanquished opponents can't seem to get past the idea that he is an even PARTIALLY Black man- and that they owe him respect -and that speaks VOLUMES about who "americans' actually ARE, versus who they SAY they are. Sad day for the" United " States of America.

Those that think President Obama is not American should go and find something better do, instead of trying to stir unecassary trouble

The current debate on the birthplace of Obama when evidence clearly points to his citizenship is a clear example of racism still rooted in the American culture. It is clear to me that some white racists are not comfortable with a black man in White house.

I am rather surprised and dissappointed that the Republican party is indulging in this fruitless debate over Barak Obama's birthplace especially when the fact is so readily verifiable.
I would rather they spend the time in constructive analysis of the future of their party and re-strategise on presenting a more focused challenge to the Democratic party come next election.
This debate is petty and an unnecessary distraction to the business at hand of shoring up American's economy, which Obama seems to have got a good grip on.

This is nothing but outright anti black. They are pained that president Obama has made alot of progress since coming into office against their expectation. The woman at the town hall meeting is a racist and white supremist who thinks the only good president in America is a white man even if he makes the Americans beggers and a nobody in the world as long as he or she is white then he is the best. It is time such people grow up and see the good in president Obama and not the 'PHD' attitude. (PHD) means pull him down.

What a FAKE! Typeface is obviously from a modern computer. Would have been typwritten in 1961.This is not the a real birth certificate. It all modern type form and no hospital is listed; Mine shows the hospital ,time ,date, mother maiden name and father name and their occupation and nation of origin of those parents.Much more complete than that fake . And also, mine is from 1967 and looks alot more of that time period (the typewriter was the only device used at that time)

I want to comment here///

It goes to show what the Right Wing. Has done here is set a agenda, after all we went throught to get this man Elected. It's WRONG....
Hannady and Combs. Pat Bucannon etc. all those eve. talk shows done every eve. on national TV! is spread their Hate about this president. lever mind the Henry Louis Gates Jr B&W Case! who really has an agenda here in America.!

The R,Wing Sore Loosers...

One´s more you have shown the ugly face of the biased liberal mainstream-media! Frankly, the evidences that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Africa are overwhelming:
First, there´s a difference between a "Certification of Live Birth" and the "Birth Certificate"! Barack Obama has still not published his birth certificate, only an easily-forged electronic copy of a short-form document that is not even officially accepted in Hawaii, called "Certification of Live Bearth".
Second, there´s the contention by Barack Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, that Mr. Obama was born in a particular Hawaiian hospital, only to claim that it was in a different hospital several years later. And, most recently, Barack Hussein Obama has contradicted himself, in writing, regarding the name of the hospital where he claims to have been born.
Fourth, there´s the posting of law enforcement personnel at the two hospitals in Honolulu mentioned by Ms. Soetoro-Ng in an effort to block the press from discovering the truth about the birth certificate.
Fifth, there´s a taped phone conversation with Mr. Obama's step-grandmother in Kenya, who claims that she was present at his birth... in what is now called Kenya!
And sixth is the "Certification of Live Birth" posted on the Obama campaign website and other liberal websites itself. Since Barack Obama was born in 1961, long before laser printers and office computers, his original birth certificate would be typewritten ... unlike the laser printed "copy" purported to be genuine.

What a nonsense. If there were any doubts that should have been checked before he was sworn in or even stood for President. It's indeed very sad and opportunistic for the extremists in the Republican Party who know they stand no chance and are just trying different diversionary tactics. No wonder they covered/obscured their faces in shame as they could not face the world. Poor loosers! The man is doing a lot of what he promised and needs everyone's support. He is focused as he should be on what he came into office to do.

The debate about the birthplace of President Barack Obama should have started and ended before his inauguration as President...why does this become an issue now...Let every American allow his presidency without all sorts of "debates"....LAGOS, NIGERIA

I think President Obama's real birth place is hawai. Though I think that there should be more debate to clear this thing out.

In Regards to the Presidents Nationality Dispute in my opinion this is just some people not willing to accept their defeat in the election, also this is starting to look to me as a racist action in which they do not want and African-American President all in all. These sorts dirty politics is what America does not need right now.

Why is this now after the election and why was it not way before ?it just seems to me that people still dont get it president Obama was voted in by the people and lots of them so let him do his job for the next four years and then you will have another chance and stop this.

The blood shed experienced in Nigeria is not a religious unrest by Islamic militants but a political issue which 'unfortunately, the Hausa tribe whom most are muslims' were used as tools.

However, it has been reported today that the leader of the gang was shot dead by the government forces

Hi everyone,
well roya,your point of view i not true,everyone can prove it . cnn is the only channel that does believe in honnest journalism,it takes to say it is not.
we have to "create a balance"between what we have in mind and what is going on in reality.
thanks.

About "Google". Why google is dominated?

Why? Because Im using google for enything. The King Of The World using Google for enything, so they are dominated.

Google is shy, but very creative and hard-working.

Those who are disputing over President's birth certificate are just exhibiting how pathetic losers they are. Is there any thing left in their repertoire of lies which they can use against the President, how about accusing him for being an actual alien from Mars.

Maureen Dowd will probably write an entire sitcom on that.

People are ignoring the fact that Obama is hiding his personal records. No president in modern times has done that. He is hiding not only his birth certificate but also his college records at three universities, his medical records, his records in former political office, and his political donor list. He is not just hiding them, he has paid lawyers a million dollars so far to make sure they stay hidden. Don't you want to know why he is hiding these things? As a college student he traveled to Pakistan at a time when no one could travel to that country on a US passport. So what passport did he use? You don't want to know? You think it doesent matter? He is leading this country into an explosion of civil unrest, not a unifier but the most divisive leader in my lifetime (60+years). Don't you want to know who he is?

The reasons to name fraud the election:
1- Befor election khamenei told to 9th military- intellegent government : go and plan for next 4-year governing.
2- before counting the votes, governmental journals stated ahmadinejad became president. Before confirmation of guard council, khamenei approved the election and say congardulate the nation which was against the law.
3- Document from inside the government overtured that mousavi was winer, but they killed the man who overtured the document pretending it was an accident.
4- if the government is right why they dont even permit one time people can protest in the streets. and why Hesbollah from lebanon are killing Iranians in Iran.
5- if they are right why do they kill brave unarmed people with the guns and kinves?.
6- It is impossible that most people vote somebody and tell them the other man is elected, ahmadinejad is selected, and khamenei is sunken and is drunk of dictatorism. he cant even stand the selected religious people, confimed by regime like mousavi and karubi.
