Doubts disproved

Barack Obama

During the 2008 US presidential election, unfounded rumours began to circulate on the internet that Barack Obama had not been born in the United States, and was therefore not eligible for the presidency.

Mr Obama’s campaign provided plenty of evidence to refute the claims, including the candidate’s birth certificate, but the chatter has not died down, and some people have even launched lawsuits to question Mr Obama’s eligibility.

With Mr Obama now installed in the White House, the number of Americans who believe – despite all evidence to the contrary – that he is not eligible to be president, and that his birth certificate is a forgery appears to be growing.

And "birthers" – as those who doubt Mr Obama’s eligibility for the presidency are pejoratively known – have started making their presence felt within the conservative movement.

What allegations are being made about Mr Obama

The principal allegation is that Barack Obama was not born in the United States, and that he is therefore ineligible to be president, according to the US constitution, which states that "no person except a natural born citizen… shall be eligible to the office of President".

It is further alleged that any documents purporting to prove Mr Obama’s eligibility are either insufficient or fraudulent.

Some of those challenging Mr Obama’s eligibility allege that he was actually born in Kenya, or that he adopted Indonesian citizenship as an infant.

What documents have been presented proving Mr Obama’s eligibility

In June 2008, the Obama campaign – in an attempt to disprove another set of internet rumours that Mr Obama’s middle name was Muhammad -made public his birth certificate.

The document – a Certification of Live Birth – indicated that Mr Obama had been born at 7.24pm on 4 August in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Researchers have also dug up birth notices for Mr Obama printed in the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in 1961.

The newspapers received information about births from Hawaii’s Department of Health.

Did the documents stop the rumours

No. When Mr Obama’s Certification of Live Birth was published, as a scanned document on the Obama campaign’s website, some people began to question its authenticity.

It was alleged in blog posts, chain emails and internet forums that the document did not have an official stamp or seal and that it lacked an official signature. Some even suggested that the document had been faked using picture-altering software.

Was there any substance to these allegations

No. Representatives from the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s Political Fact Check projectexamined the hard copy of the documentand verified that it did in fact bear an official seal, and had been signed by Hawaii state registrar Alvin T Onaka (using a signature stamp). Both the seal and the signature were on the (unscanned) reverse of the document.

Did that put the rumours to bed

No. Although most people accepted the authenticity of the birth certificate, a new allegation emerged.

The document released by the Obama camp was a Certification of Live Birth, freshly created in 2007 by Hawaiian officials at the request of the Obama campaign, based on Hawaii’s computerised records, not the original hand-written long-form "Certificate of Live Birth", created by the hospital at the time of Mr Obama’s birth.

A Certificate of Live Birth contains more information, including the hospital name, and the name of the attending physician.

Campaigners alleged that Hawaiian law permits the issuance of Certifications of Live Births to people born abroad, and began calling on the Obama campaign to release the long-form Certificate of Live Birth, which they said would answer all of their questions.

WorldNetDaily, a website that has been at the forefront of the campaign to probe Mr Obama’s presidential eligibility, has drawn up a petition calling on Mr Obama to release the document.

Has the Certificate of Live Birth been released

It has not. But Dr Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawaii Department of Health, has released a statement confirming that she has "seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai¡i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai¡i and is a natural-born American citizen".

And, as Janice Okubo, director of communications for the Hawaii Department of Health, explains, no-one who was born abroad could get a certificate saying they were born in Hawaii.

"If you were born in Bali, for example," Ms Okubo told the Washington Independent, "you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate."

Have campaigners attempted to air their concerns in the courts

A number of lawsuits have been filed by people who question Mr Obama’s eligibility, but all of them have been dismissed at the earliest stages.

In July, Stefan Cook, a major in the US Army Reserve who was due to be deployed to Afghanistan, filed a lawsuit seeking to block his deployment, on the grounds that his orders were invalid, because President Obama was ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief. His case was dismissed.

Have any mainstream politicians endorsed the campaigners’ views

Most Republicans have rejected the claims, but Alan Keyes, a former Republican presidential candidate, has filed a lawsuit questioning Mr Obama’s eligibility, and Republican Senator James Inhofe has said he does not "discourage" the movement.

Studio plans teen-friendly Bruno

Universal Pictures will release a slightly shorter and marginally less explicit cut of the 18-certificate Sacha Baron Cohen comedy on 24 July

As if one Bruno was not enough for UK cinemagoers, the studio behind Sacha Baron Cohen’s flouncing comedy creation is now poised to introduce another. Happily, reports suggest that the second Bruno will be less offensive, more mild of manner and marginally shorter. Where the original Bruno comes with a prohibitive 18 certificate, the second is rated a teen-friendly 15.

Universal Pictures is planning to unveil the alternative Bruno on 24 July as a means to mop up younger viewers. “We saw an opportunity to service the audience,” explained David Kosse, president of Universal Pictures International. “And it should also help the gross.” Kosse claims that this marks the first time that two versions of the same film are screened simultaneously in the UK.

Baron Cohen’s film has earned a reported £5m at UK cinemas since it opened last Friday – the second-biggest opening ever in Britain for an 18-certificate movie. However, there have been reports of hundreds of teenaged viewers being refused entry to cinemas, leading studio executives to conclude that there remains a large, untapped market for the picture.

The 15-certificate Bruno will run 1min 50sec shorter than the original version. Editors have trimmed several of the more sexually explicit moments, including a visit to a swingers’ party and a sequence in which the hero visits a medium and simulates oral and anal sex with a ghost. “A lot of that scene” has been edited out, says Kosse.
