Joshua Scholar 71, 128: Somewhere in “Dreams From My Father” Obama is talking about pieces of family history, and says (whatever his specific subject was) that it was there in a box or a desk with other old papers, including his birth certificate. As I haven’t read the book, nor own one, I can’t cite chapter and verse. However, I’ve seen this quote raised a number of times to point out that at one time, Bam had a copy of his BC physically in his possession. This evidence, from the man himself, doesn’t make your comment look very good.

And why have a document that was the basic proof of who you were, yet were unable to access? What would be the point? Preventing others’ access, sure. But your own access?

Anyway, if you’re just a troll, sit under the bridge and chew on this shin bone, provided by Obama himself. Is it tasty? But don’t expect Sam Gamgee to make up a song for you, as he did for Frodo and Strider and the rest, back in troll country on the way to Rivendale.
