Could that have been a "souvenir" certificate issued by the hospital? There are a lot of those out there given out to be a fancy commemoration or memento of a birth. But they have no legal standing. The one that does have that level of standing is the form filed by the doctor or midwife who witnessed the birth with the appropriate local or state registry. The raised seal is to indicate that the issuer is giving you a certified copy or extract of the birth record.

I don't think it was a "souvenir", I'm pretty sure that it was accepted as proof when I got my driver's license, but at the time that it was issued (1950's) they didn't use a raised seal, it was possibly the "short (abstract) version" mentioned on the passport website.

*A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth. Please note, some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.

The Keyes-Obama race was one of the first to be called on Election Day, November 2, 2004.

At the start of Keyes' candidacy in August, Keyes had 24% support in the polls. He received 27% of the vote in the November general election to Obama's 70%.[28]

Following the election, Keyes refused to call Obama to congratulate him. Media reports claimed that Keyes also failed to concede the race to Obama.[citation needed] Two days after the election, a radio interviewer asked Keyes whether he had conceded the race. Keyes replied, "Of course I've conceded the race. I mean, I gave my speech to that effect."[29]

On the radio program, Keyes explained that his refusal to congratulate Obama was "not anything personal," but was meant to make a statement against "extend[ing] false congratulations to the triumph of what we have declared to be across the line." He said that Obama's position on moral issues regarding life and the family had crossed that line. "I'm supposed to make a call that represents the congratulations toward the triumph of that which I believe ultimately stands for... a culture evil enough to destroy the very soul and heart of my country? I can't do this. And I will not make a false gesture," Keyes said.[29]

Palin/Keyes 2012!

Who knew that Swampy was actually a closeted Joe Biden partisan?:nuts:

As to Keyes, he has no real profession and lives off the generosity of his friends, friends who find a value in having a person of color front for them. Alan's just trying to keep that pipeline flowing and make another buck two to tide him over to the next election cycle.

edit: to comment on Alan the new Harold Stassen.

Well, if they unseat the Kenyan President-elect, they will have to reject the Panamanian backup, too, I guess.

Who was third? I think it was Cynthia "Batshit Crazy" McKinney.

So, we will get our first Black AND female president in one term!

Lux, I take 75% of what's on Factcheck with a grain of salt. I reference it sometimes because that seems to be a credible source for some folks around here.

But then Factcheck is a spin off of the Annenberg Challenge. You know, those Foundation boards that BHO and Ayres sat on? Go read about it on their own page... http://www.factcheck.org/about/

Right. That's what I said. You cherry pick your facts. I'm glad you admit it.

And by using your method of "tenuous connection = bad intent," Ronald Reagan is a terrorist lover:



I don't actually believe it, but you set up the rules.

I've been waiting for you to pull out the Annenberg-Ayers connection. It is a staple of the wing-nut bloggers to discredit factcheck.org (can't attack the message, attack the messenger).


P.S. Do you misspell Ayers name out of ignorance, or to make it easier to find your posts regarding him? Or are you trying to start a meme like "algore"? It's not important, I'm just curious.

Alan Keyes a sore loser?

I respectfully disagree. Let me introduce you to Cynthia McKinney.

OK, tie.

Wasn't Alan Keyes shipped up to Illinois from Maryland to have someone to run against Obama?

P.S. I think it's a requirement that when you mention Alan Keyes, you must say that he's "batsh!t-crazy", sort of like with Gary Bussey.
