Do you know who Barry Soetoro is?

Here is a link that you may find interesting, I did.

Soetoro is the last name of the man that Barack's mother married after her first marriage.

His new father, by marriage, was wealthy
and is the one that financed Barack's education at Harvard, etc..

Barack's name was never legally changed to Barry Soetoro and was only used, in his youth,
for the purpose of unifying his new family name of Soetoro. (a common practice)

This birth certificate rumor has been debunked by Snopes.com
and also by the St. Petersburg Times newspaper in this June, 2008 article titled:

No 'Muhammed' in Obama's name;
Birth certificate is real
By: Amy Hollyfield, Times staff writer
In print: Wednesday, June 18, 2008

It hit our inbox just like the chain e-mail attacks that made us want it in the first place,
the final piece to a puzzle we've been sorting out for months.

Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate.

"I know there have been some rumors spreading about Obama's citizenship, so I wanted to make sure you all had a copy of his birth certificate," Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor wrote in an e-mail.

The document shows that Barack Hussein Obama II was born Aug. 4, 1961, at 7:24 p.m. in Honolulu. His mother is Stanley Ann Dunham, and his father is Barack Hussein Obama.

BTW: There is no Muhammed in his name.

The birth certificate wasn't available before because Obama's birth state of Hawaii does not make such records public and the campaign did not release it.

Shortly after we posted this document on PolitiFact.com, some readers questioned its authenticity.

"You have shown a Certificate of Live Birth — not a birth certificate," one e-mailed. "There is a difference. Look at state laws regarding the completion of both forms."

Another wrote: "I have serious doubts about the purported 'birth certificate' you were sent."

To verify we did have the correct document,
we contacted the Hawaii Department of Health, which maintains such records.

"It's a valid Hawaii state birth certificate,"
spokesman Janice Okubo said after we e-mailed her our copy.

Okubo said a copy of the birth certificate was requested this month, but she wouldn't specify by whom. But as we know from our attempts to get one in April, Hawaii law states that only family members can access such records.
