Why Barack Obama birth records, both in the United States and Kenya, are sealed by government order?

Barack Obama birth records, both in the United States and Kenya, are sealed by government order. Does this mean the birth certificate is classified? I want to know why a birth certificate would be a threat to our national security?

1. Seriously enough of this Birth certificate BS.Just admit/accept the fact that you have a black President name Barack Hussein Obama and if you want him out of the white house then try beating him on Nov 4th 2012 by selecting the best possible GOP nominee as your candidate
2. Haven't heard this yet. I don't know if what I am telling you is true or not, but it could be because he has dual citizenship, which you cannot have to be the President.
3. In Hawaii, as in most states, ALL birth records are sealed by government order. And there ARE no birth records for Obama in Kenya so they cannot be sealed or unsealed. Obama has released his birth records for examination and they have been verified to be legitimate proof of his being a natural born citizen.. Get off of this already you are behaving like a crazy person. Note that I didn't call you crazy, just made an objective statement about your behavior, with all due respect.
4. Really? Says who?
5. It states very clearly in our Constitution, you MUST be a natural born citizen of the United States. You must be transparent about this information. Obama is actually breaking our Constitutional law. But..I can not actually answer your question, only the power to be know why...it's not a threat to our security,,,it's a threat to his!!!!!
6. Your birth certificate is classified as well. There is no Kenyan one by the way.
7. Original birth certificates are prohibited for public release. That's why the copy machine was invented. You're a moron.
8. Cuz barry is really da man from kenya.......
9. because barry soTUro (NOT "sotoro") is an illegal fascist, put in White House by affirmative action (most radical, anti-white, extremely racist program) by votes of illegal criminals, parasites, and neo-libnazis... his openly racist, America-hating wife, and scum of Earth "czars" want the regime, where law and order - is of no concern. LOL... I am an Independent Conservative, by the way, NOT a republican
10. Why are you an idiot, is that classified?
11. How many other president's birth certificates have we seen???? None that I know of. That's an excuse to keep dragging this man through the mud. BELIEVE ME there are enough racist ass people in powerful positions, that if President Obama wasn't born in the U.S., it would have BEEN KNOWN LONG AGO!!! Have you personally contacted the US government or ANYONE in Kenya?? It's no threat. It's a racist issue that people tried to light and it never caught fire. People should move on .....NEXT!!!!
12. No birth record... in the United States OR Kenya is open to the public. All of them are restricted. You think Obama "sealed" them.. that is just one of thousands of lies. Try not reading sites with fabrications. No one.. except the govt...has authority to demand his birth certificate. The biggest fallacy in the whole thing.. HE POSTED a valid copy by his own choice. You also fell for the crap about COLB being "different" than a "real" certificate. That is another complete lie. Neither one indicates anything except that state chose another title... and the "short" form is completely legal. and no..it is not a forgery either. edit and nothing.. in the Constitution or anywhere else, requires him to provide his birth certificate to the public. It can be required by the Federal govt for security clearance. I HOPE you understand that the public and the FBI/ govt are two different things.
13. Obviously he is the spawn of that two-headed Elvis clone from the national enquirer and the captured space alien from Roswell, and he was raised by bigfoot. All this is completely true - but the records are sealed and I can't provide a link.
14. They aren't "sealed", except by custom and tradition and a smattering of state and local laws. There were valid Hawaiian copies online as recently as a week ago, relased as a courtesy, certified and sworn to, as well as copies of the birth announcement in a paper of the correct date, again, verified and notarized and sworn to. How fiendishly clever it would've been to start some kind of fraud BEFORE HE WAS ACTUALLY BORN...wow! Are you imbuing this man you HATE with superhuman powers? I guess that's a special category of "demonization", huh? Oh. And the Kenyan and Indonesian documents were nothing but lousy forgeries. You can buy different fakes on various online auction sites right now. How many would you like? And if there HAD been any chicanery, it would have been discovered YEARS ago. Egad! I haven't had MY original for many years, but I have a certified copy that I have to use once in a while. And the FBI would've checked this out and seen the original LONG AGO, and with all the political hatred on the right, you better KNOW the Republicans would've jumped on this, big time, before he ever even got to the Illinois State Legislature. But your premise is bogus, and so is your "question". By the way, where is YOUR birth certificate? Can you PROVE you were not born in, say, Lithuania? How do we know you were even born? And so on and so on and so on... At some point, this entire hog wash simply ceases to even be a smoke screen, and becomes much like the pointless baying of a very stupid set of hounds. I'd suggest learning to deal with reality.
15. Personally, I kinda think he was born in Hawaii, but then you have to wonder why he spent over a million dollars to keep his birth certificate out of the courts.
16. think about what ur saying...Obama didnt just get off the bus from chicago to Washington and say Im home...He was a member of senate..and if the cia, legislative branch and the FBI agreed that hes a american citizen that should be good enuff for u, and if it isn't land is cheap in Greenland...And if it was true. wouldnt that have been the ultimate bomb shell for McCain to have dropped towards the end of the campaign?
17. Seriously, are we still talking about this? Read: www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate
18. Because the man has something to hide. If there was no weirdness going on with his place of birth they would just release the thing but they haven't. Not that it matters if he isn't really a natural born citizen, they won't kick him out of office because all the black people are going to whine: THEY MAD CAUSE HE BLACK
19. i just googeled it .it looks good to me. conservative.we have to find somthing else to get him on
20. First, answer the question as to why YOUR birth certificate is sealed. You must have something to hide, by not making it public. Provide a notarized copy of it at once, or we will be forced to believe you are part of an elaborate cover-up. Of course, my birth certificate is sealed, too...maybe *I'm* hiding something. And so is everyone else's who is born here. Hmmm. A pattern seems to be emerging...
21. That's a new one, where did you hear that or did you make it up yourself?
22. I can't believe the mean and nasty people here on yahoo. Clearly, people have a chip on their shoulders on both sides. Aren't we all tired of it? I sure am. I'm sickened over the "get over it" people who think by wanting real, true clarification of citizenship published for all to see someone wants is because he is "black" (actually bi-racial, and people keep forgetting that part). If someone wanted proof of my citizenship, I would gladly produce a certified copy of my own birth certificate and it would end everything. Personally, I'm beyond caring about the birth certificate thing. What I care about is the loss of my freedom and this man is chipping away at what little freedom we all have left each day. Doesn't anybody care about that? Who cares about a stupid birth certificate? There are some real far left loons out there that have some ideas that are way beyond anything I can ever envision this country being. I want that to stop, I don't care where the heck this man was born and he could be purple with pink polka dots for all I care. Just give me my country back please and stop this spending and making terrible choices for America. AND get the Czars out of our governement, NOW! Read and live by the constitution. Remember what that is? Seems what a great deal of people have lost sight of and it's the most important document in our country. We the people need to take our country back.
23. Birth records are public and should be available for the public to view.
24. His birth records are not sealed by government order. Obama has paid his lawyers over $1million dollars to keep his birth records, college records, and records from his time as a state senator sealed. Obviously he has alot to hide. He was given tuition assistance at Occidental College as a "foreign national". Figure it out.
25. don't know but I do know he's already paid more than $1million to the law firm he hired to keep them that way
26. http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2008/bills/SB1326_SD1_.pdf and by the way, Kenya does not allow dual citizenship.
27. Because he is a fraud and not a legally elected president. If the truth had come out, he would have been sent back to Kenya.
