A Silhouette in the Sunset

Via The Feral Irishman

 

His mother was born in Kansas.  His father hailed from Kenya.  These star-crossed lovers met in a Russian Language class at the University of Hawaii in 1960.  A year later, he was born on August 4, 1961. Even today, his origin of birth remains a topic of national concern.  In fact, the subject of his birth certificate was recently raised by the NBC moderator, Lester Holt, during the presidential debate on September 26, 2016.  This, in turn, fomented a very heated discussion between the presidential candidates:  Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

His origin of birth was first challenged during the primaries for the 2008 presidential election by his then opponent, Hillary Clinton.  The controversy was later claimed to be settled upon the release of his long-form birth certificate in 2011.  However, many today still claim his long-form birth certificate is a fake.  Multiple electronic document experts currently contend the document uploaded by the White House is not a scanned version of the original long-form, paper birth certificate.  It is instead, a nine-layered” document with many electronically added overlays proving it to be assembled digitally as opposed to being an exact copy of the original.
