Its strange that I was born in 1961 in Illinois and just got my birth certificate out of the safe...and it has boxes for my parents race. I just checked with a sister born in 1949 and hers has the boxes. And a friend born in 79 also has the boxes for race.
Strange that it would be hit and miss on birth certificates for different years for those born in Illinois.
FYI, it is up to the state of residence to establish citizenship before a name is put on the ballot...so I am thinking/hoping that this is not the first time the long form birth certificate of Obama has been seen. Maybe, just maybe, he thought as his citizenship had already been established during the states vetting process that he had nothing to prove. Nah..gotta be a conspiracy...I have faith in those that oppose Obama will soon find something else to raise a stink about...insane..but persistent...
