Is Rush Limbaugh wrong about Obama?

Obama may not have a birth certificate available. If his parents traveled so much, and after a divorce. People loose lots of documents in traveling, especially if they don’t have money like Limbaugh does. Obama comes from a poor family like many of us.

Even if Obama had been born in Africa, as some claim, Obama is still a US born citizen.
For a child born overseas to a US citizen, is a US citizen. The US citizen abroad upon becoming a parent, has up to two years to declare the child’s birth at the local US embassy—probably a US consulate too.

If citizenship was any different, than the thousands of children born to US soldiers overseas would not have the same rights as their siblings born in US soil. Also, that means the children of diplomats as well, and the children of US citizens working abroad, would be second class citizens.

All it takes is for the US parent to take all hospital or maternity certification from where the child was born, accompanied by other requested documents. When it all is processed the child receives a consular birth certificate of US citizenship. It is a federal document. Now, if Obama does not have his birth certificate, he can ask the embassy where he was born, if not in Hawaii.

Based on declared birth alone, Obama would have been a US born citizen, because his mother was American. However, according to Hawaii vital records, Obama was born in Hawaii. http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/obama.html If such official evidence is not enough for the birthers, than they may have either an ignorance problem or racism is running in their minds. On the other hand, it is time that Barack H. Obama II, provides evidence, he can do it.
