Barack Obama Birth Certificate – Presidential candidate Barack Obama refuses to release his birth certificate, which instantly gets people thinking Obama has something to hide.
The Barack Obama birth certificate controversy exists solely because the Obama campaign refuses to release it, same as the Cindy McCain tax return controversy two months ago went away immediately after their release.
Barack Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, secretly married his father Barack Obama – a native Kenyan studying at the University of Hawaii – in Maui on February 2, 1961 when she was three month pregnant with his child, only telling family and friends afterwards.
The major reason that Obama will not release his birth certificate is that his father’s race is not listed as “black” but as “Arabic” which is how many Kenyan passports from the 1960s were issued.
In Kenya at that time, race was a matter of religion, not a judgement on the color of a person’s skin. His father was obviously black and a Muslim as well.
So, it is most likely that his father’s “Arabic” designation on his birth certificate is what Barack Obama wants to keep hidden, even though by hiding it, he turns it into an even bigger issue.
And that’ the latest news on the Barack Obama birth certificate.

When he was born, Us law said to be a natural citizen you had to either had two parents who had been citizens for 10 years OR at least one parent had to have been a citizen for 10 years with at least 5 of those years after the age of 16. Obama’s daddy wasn’t a citizen, his mother was 18 when he had him. So Obama is not a natural born citizen. THAT is why he doesn’t want to release the birth certificates.

Nope, I was wrong. Turns out Obama’s father is listed as “African” on Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

Maybe because no other candidate has ever been asked to release his birth certificate to prove himself?
The controversy existed because people want to keep trying to make Obama look “different” than them. You make up false rumours with no basis whatsoever, demand that Obama spend his time debunking the things you made up, and then move right on to the next rumor when he proves you wrong. He’s a Muslim! He’s a Black supremicist! He’s a Maoist! He went to school in a madrassa! Doesn’t put his hand on his heart for the pledge! Did coke and had sex with a gay man in 1999! His middle name is Muhammed! He was born in Kenya! He dresses in Muslim clothes! His real name is Barry!
Give it a rest and debate the issues.
p.s. – his father was an athiest, not a muslim. His grandfather is the only muslim in his background.
June 12th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
This is a fake. There is no State Registrar seal, to certify that it is legal.
Another Obama lie.
June 13th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I could not leave the country with out a official hospital birth Certificate.
Obama is running for the president.
where is his original hospital birth certificate ???? Barack’s campaign is offering up a “CERTIFICATION.” That’s different. A normal Certificate also includes: 1. No attending physician signature or license number 2. No address for the attending physician or hospital 3. No parent signature 4. No parent DOB or age of parent or parent place of birth.
June 14th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
this birth certificate is fake!!! he didnt become barack obama till he was 10 years old, i think he was born in kenya, then wwent to hawaii, people this needs to be checked out, the obama campain is trying to hood wink america, where is he really from?what are his intentions for america? why will he not show his real birth certificate where he was born by his real name and it wasnt obama// wake up america and demand where he is from????
June 19th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Hawaiian birth certificates from 1961 were black with white print. The certificate shown is definitely not the original.
June 20th, 2008 at 7:02 am
It should be obvious to anyone that the “birth certificate” presented by KOS is fake. If you look at the printing it is quite clear it has been printed using modern day methods such as ink or laser jet technology. In 1961 it is most likely that a birth certificate would have been filled out by hand or using a typewriter. Even if it had been printed on a IBM 407 or 402 tabulating machine the typeface would show flaws. This is a ridulous attempt by a fool trying to fool other fools. Obama is a socialist jihadist and we should be very afraid.

C’mon people! Do you all really think he could have gotten this far in his career if he could not prove his legal citizenship. I really find it interesting that his middle name is HUSSEIN! Does that give anyone a hint that this guy is definately a MUSLIM!!! This is what worries me, not his birth-certificate.
June 30th, 2008 at 11:10 am
WHY would the certificate number be blacked out? You’d expect that anyone offering a document as “proof” would have allowed anyone to see the number and then get confirmation? Oh wait, there is no hospital listed to check it out either…
Of course in 1961, the “race” of the father would obviously have been “Negro” and not “African”.
Basically this looks a lot like those bogus checks you get from Nigeria from people trying to scam you. There are so many obvious problems with it that it’s almost a joke in and of itself.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
For the sake of argument, let’s say that ZeroBama really was a Muslim. He CLAIMS to have become a Christian. Remember that in the Muslim religion, it is considered OK to lie to infidels (everyone else.) Therefore, how can we believe his claiming to no longer be a Muslim. He certainly isn’t attending a Christian church. It may have a Christian affiliation; however, it preaches nothing but hate. (i.e. the Wrong Rev. Wright, and Flueger.) He knows he wouldn’t stand a chance of being elected as a Muslim. Voila, he’s a Christian! Why do I doubt that?
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:33 am
The other salient aspect is that Obama already is ineligible with or without the birth certificate. His mother was only 18 at the time. The requirement for native American birth is that the mother must reside in the USA 10 years, 5 of which must be after the age of 16. So 16 + 5 =21. She was 3 years shy of eligibility and Obama is NOT native born in compliance.
I read a few comments on other forums belittling the importance of the birth certificate and Obama’s suspected failure to register for the draft. Here’s the draft registration requirement.
• Selective Service Registration: Defense Authorization Act established Title 5, U.S. Code, Section 3328
The law says that all men living in the United States who are ages 18 through 25 must register, except those who are in valid non-immigrant status (e.g., students, visitors, and people who have been permitted to come to the US for limited periods of time, etc.). The Selective Service interprets this to mean that undocumented men must register. Failing to register is a federal crime, with a penalty of up to five years in prison or a $250,000 fine or both.

I think its super cool to have somebody running for president thats my age. March 7, 1961 is mine. I just wish even if it does say african american I wish everyone would remember he also is caucaisn. But they rip on the whites and I don’t get it. I’m a white lady and not racist and it feels like the black race is a bit. On the BET music awards DL Hugley made some statement (I won’t get into to it), but made me feel lesser than. If you know what I mean. We all bleed the same and pretty much everything else. Its not like a cat and dog mating, you know.
I’d love to meet him and ask one question, for I have 2 mixed grandsons. I want to know why he married a black lady and not a white lady, cause it be me.
Hope you win Mr. Obama, you have my vote for sure!!!

To marlon etheredge, as you say f you to all those other people, you yourself are being one with the enemy… and being as hateful as them(sorta a catch 22)…
As for Obama’s Birthcertificate… i have to agree with james popiealarz. no physician signature and no DOB of parents… and no seal from the hospital at which he was born from(if he was). it’s all very awkward to me. I think the democrats have a lot of explaining to do… and I do Agree that our elected president should respect the flag, should wear our flagpin. and should hold his hand over his heart during the national anthem. Being unpatriotic is a terrible way to show care about this country… seriously he did even have 150 days under his belt as senator before running for president… it’s one of the quickest ways from the bottom of the list to the top, and that could bring about many serious questions… not saying that he would be thought of as a terrorist or other plans, but just curious as to why he wouldn’t want to gain more experience in the Senate and actually do what he could in the senate and gain a better approval rating amoung his peers.
Also, i have not heard one speech from Barrack on the situation in Darfur… he’s part african, wouldn’t he want to have a voice in the situations that have arose in Africa? does he not believe in his heritage? I think the media has to do more questions towards Barrack, and stop trying to fake their coverages, and show the truth, and actually question up these presidential canidates!!!
Peace.

It is truly amazing how much people really don’t know about American Law. Nixon wore a Kilt, and he is not the only president in history who has gone to their native land to visit. Some have even changed their names to run for public office in order to fit in. The bottom line is a systematic hatred, but on Sunday we all will be in church praying for peace and love….Just not in my backyard. Anyway…what is written is written in Divine Order will be.
July 26th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Oh, forgot to mention, you have some person trying to site the law for who is a citizen….He forgot to mention that Obama Grandparents on his Mother’s side were already U.S citizens who born a daughter which automatically made his birth a U.S Citizen born in America. If we really want to get technical, change my mind decided not to go to the gutter with this.
August 17th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
What has been staring everyone in the face is the effects of political correctness and no one has seen it. The beauty of this liberal political correctness is that the person who forged this document got caught in their own trap of affirmative action hyphenated Americans.
Look closely at Stanley Ann Dunham’s race. Caucasian.
Now look closely at Barack Hussein Obama sr’s race. It is listed as African.
That doesn’t seem all that interesting and no one has noticed it until one looks that this is an official document filed in August 1961.
Most people on the internet and blogging have no sense of history nor in the use of words and it is this lack of sense which is going to bite whoever forged this document.
Up until 1968, the standard term for all Africans was “negroe”. This fit with the absolute secular scientific teaching of the day which notes the world has 3 races in Mongoloid, Caucasoid and Negroid.
It was not until the Black Revolution when negroe or negro became a foul description in the late 1960’s and then “black” was demanded by this group to describe them.
It was not until the late 1970’s when political correctness came into vogue that it ushered in by the 1980’s the term “African” to describe all blacks.
Whoever forged this birth certificate was not utilizing the 1960’s terminology which a black person would be listed as. They fell instead into a warped year 2000 politically correct description of “African”.
This is absolutely telling as if you looked at birth records in Prussia centuries ago, those people would be termed Prussian, Bavarian etc… as Germany did not yet exist as a termonology for nation state. If someone was listed as German in 1700, it would be glaring forgery just like the Obama forgery stuns the eyes once one knows what they are looking at.
One could research the certificates in Hawaii for absolutes, but considering as has been warned in this blog that Hawaii is a Democratic state, has Democratic officials who have been hemming and hawing about this certificate and only upon precise questioning do they start backing down as it means their jobs and prison time if they certify a forgery as real and this is Democratic transplanted son Barack Obama carrying on this charade, could one ever get a clear answer from them unless one looked at numbers of birth certificates to precisely learn how Hawaii was labeling “blacks”.
If this case it is African, then why is not Stanley Ann Dunham labeled correctly North American after her continent? She though is labeled correctly as caucasian as that is exactly as she is.
If one still today searches enough death certificates in the 50 United States, you will find listed on them the term NEGRO. Now that is over 40 years since 1961 in Barack Obama’s birth and political correctness has not reached completely into the coroner’s records.
That fact is scientific and if it still exists today as proof it certainly is the proof from before 1900 in America and past 1960 that all blacks were noted as “negroe” or “negro” on all public records from birth certificates, marriage licenses, passports, driver’s licenses to death certificates.
Whoever forged the Barack Obama birth certificate got caught in Mr. Obama’s own political correctness.
In 1961 America, blacks were negroes and not Africans no matter if they came from Africa or not.
If one cares to examine the Negroe Leagues in baseball where blacks were to “pass” as Cubans to the United Negroe College Fund to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, there was no African at all in any terminology.
One was negroe on legal documents and “colored” in common usage.
No pixels in this. No questioning borders and no questions about the researcher’s expertise as negroe is American history and scientific fact just like whoever forged the Obama birth certificate got caught in political correctness in not being able to use a term they were trained to avoid.
That is a fact. This birth certificate is a fake.

You can get out of the country with a copy of a birth certificate, in fact I can get into canada with a smile and a wave. The seal is at the top of the document for those who don’t know what a seal looks like but still contest its location.

It’s painfully obvious that certain officials think we’e too
stupid or dumb and would never do our homework when
it comes to Barack Obama. These fake documents remind
me of the Ok City bombing, 911, the Northwoods Docu-
ment, the USS New York, the Uss Liberty, JFK, Pearl Har-
bor, in essence, False flag Operations. We’re being lied
to again and again by the new world order and the
Illuminati, however, millions of sleepwalkers are awake
now, after 911 we were reborn and now we do our re-
search. Lies are too obvious now that our eyes have been opened, we see the light. If someone is asked to produce documents and they’re honest, there would not be any delay, Hillary Clinton did the same thing. This is the precise reason no one has ever seen the law re-
quiring anyone to pay income tax, da, can you say
“scam”! I’m thankful to anyone who reveals information
like this, it’s too important to overlook. This is why our
country is in the state it’s in now. There are hidden messages in all speeches given by elected officials, like,
the “New World Order” and the secrets printed within
our money. They’ve been telling us all along and execu-
ting their plan and Obama is just another piece
of the puzzle to futher their agenda. Thank You!

Race has NOTHING to do with the discussion of whether or not Obama’s birth certificate is real or fake. Race is only being mentioned as a description on a birth certificate. Race is only an issue to those people who are racist. Please quit posting racial comments. I do not see Obama as a black, white, red, or even green person. I see him as a deceiptful person who is doing all he can to bring socialism to the U.S. So, please, all of you, DROP the racial comments! It is getting old!

What a bunch of brainwashed, paranoid, and racist assholes! Now that your beloved Karl Rove has pretty much implied that McCain has already lost, you must be terrified and shitting in your pants.
Sorry to disappoint you, Obama is neither a crazy radical Muslim nor the antichrist, but an American politician, a well-intended one whose policies you might in the end come to approve once you see that your lives have improved, and the U.S regains the respect lost over the last 8 years all around the world.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Well, I’ve read all the comments.
I truly think the bottom line IS and should be character.
Obama, without question, has associations with suppressive and criminal types, whether past, not so distant and current.
If John McCain had had an association (at any time) with someone who blew up black churches, there would be no end to that, and with that kind of scenario, there should not be.
I think the public expectations of a leader should be, at the very least, a steadfast history of value for the country he wishes to lead.
Meaning this leader should have no connections to those who hold, and have demonstrated little or no value for that country. (i.e. a track record of, no Bill Ayers, no Rev. Wright, no years of associations with these types)
A lot of you say, “no big deal”, “that was a long time ago”, “who cares?” etc. but you know as well as I do, that, as the saying goes…..birds of a feather, do flock together.
Lame statement, but true, if you think about it. Just take a look around.
Or how about connections to those who use positions for self interest? Do you think Nancy Pelosi will see to it that Star-Kist be exempt from the “top 5%” to be heavily taxed by Obama’s tax laws? (this of course would protect her interest in all her husband’s stock owned in Star-Kist)
Do you for one minute, think that Oprah would hire someone with a paper-thin resume to run Harpo Productions?
There is no way she would do that. Too much at stake for her. She’s too smart to allow that…could ruin her company. Yet the flip side is that she is supporting someone with a paper-thin resume to run our country….what’s that, other than tremendous emotion, rather than logic and intellect?
This country was founded by people who left countries with the same kind of rules and policies that are being presented now.
These people left countries with a welfare state.
They left coutnries sharing the wealth.
This is why this country began.
These are the very things that were lived with, and lives put at great risk, to get a way from.
This was why people originally came to this country in great numbers.
When you vote, please, at least think about these things. This is not about a “who”….this is not about who delivers a better tone or sound….this is not about a person….this is about our country.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Why is it that it’s ok for the GOP party to affiliate Barack with negative people but refuse to connect McCain with Keating. Ayers was not convicted of any crimes, unlike Keating. Nor does the Obama campaign bring up McCain’s first wife for whom he left upon returning from the war to be with Cindy. The GOP party is so shady, they can’t handle the truth or defeat. And the are all blinded by all the lies that they are being fed by McCain. If they were smart, rather than believing everything they hear on tv, do some research and find out for yourselves. But then that would mean you wouldn’t have anything to complain about and you would see McCain as the liar he really is.

seriously? father is Arabic? Kenya is not an arab country. Being Muslim does not mean one is Arabic. What about the Muslims in the Soviet or in India or Malawi for that matter.
This is about your bigotry and has nothing to do with religion. Muslims are people and if you are a christian you will know that all sins are equal in Gods eyes. You have committed many and I am committing quite a few myself by setting u straight.
Kenya is in East Africa. Barack Hussein Obama Sr IS his father and no amount of bigotry will erase that. President Barack Hussein Obama Jr will continue to soar and prosper for he has a spirit and anointing, so many of us lack. You have a good day and do try to look inside. Nothing stays the same. The world has matured. So should you

The birth certificate looks real. I was born in the USA and have a legal replacement US birth certificate which doesn’t give my parents DOB but the original issue did. When a replacement is ordered, as I had to do because my mother feared I would loose the original, it only contains base information, parents names, race, my birth name, birth place, time and date. The original (issued 1976) contains much more info which really doesn’t matter.
November 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
While I applaud the notion that Barack’s heritage makes this world a small world., I say Africa will not enjoy a piece of the cake because Obama has African blood and on top of the ticket. Never. Why? If he had interests in Africa, he could have elevated his family back in Kenya. Charity begins at home, so we say in Africa.
November 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Swahili is of Arabic origin, referring “coast people”. A language used in east Africa. As some ignorant Americans have questioned the existence of Arabs in Africa in identifying the paternal heritage of Obama, as an African living in the US for the past 6 years, I say Arabs are also in Africa. And their influences are seen in the food, marriage customs, death customs, language, attire etc. Arabs moved into Africa as traders. These Arab men ended up marrying local girls and spreading their religion. Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, etc. have populations of mixed heritage … African and Arab, and they do not need to be light skinned. In most African countries, some Africans have no pure African blood. As we identify Obama as black, we end up overshadowing his white heritage; and that has happened in Africa, that people are identified as blacks, and their Arab roots are overshadowed. One does not need to have light skin color features to be identified as an Arab.
The war in Sudan also goes back to a fight between Africans with Arab blood, and those without Arab blood. Tribal wars have also been seen in other parts of Africa including Kenya.
I am from Africa, and I can easily distinguish Africans, but Americans just categorizes us in one group.
November 6th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Does being an Arab makes a person of lesser value? Do this make the person a terrorist? We are one world. The stock market demonstrate how one country cannot exist by itself. As the stock crushes in the US, it is felt in China, Japan, South Africa, Indonesia, Brazil.
I am a defender of Arab blood in Obama, if he has it. I am identified as female and (my country of birth – in Africa) on my birth certificate, but my father’s ancestral heritage has Arab blood, moved from Malawi some 80 years ago, and ended up in Zimbabwe, with the male marrying someone there. On my mother’s side, her ancestors moved from Mozambique, but someone was naughty to sleep with a Portuguese, and so I also have Portuguese blood, then my maternal ancestors moved to Zimbabwe some 100 years ago and married someone there. I am identified and categorized as a black, because I am not running for higher office that scrutinize a person DNA or blood, and pulls down other races. Do this make me less of a human or a danger to society? Do I not respect human rights? I now reside in the US, and if with my white American fiancee we are blessed with a child born on American soil, why should he or she be punished on the basis of his blood or DNA, if he or she is ambitious?
For all you ignorant people. Here is a piece of Kenya:
Cushitic-speaking people, as termed by Schloezer, from northern Africa, moved into the area that is now Kenya beginning around 2000 BC. Arab traders began frequenting the Kenya coast around the 1st century AD. Kenya’s proximity to the Arabian Peninsula invited colonization, and Arab and Persian settlements sprouted along the coast by the 8th century. During the first millennium AD, Nilotic and Bantu-speaking peoples moved into the region, and the latter now comprise three-quarters of Kenya’s population.
In the centuries preceding colonization, the Swahili coast of Kenya was part of the east African region which traded with the Arab world and India especially for ivory and slaves (the Ameru tribe is said to have originated from slaves escaping from Arab lands some time around the year 1700.). Initially these traders came mainly from Arab states, but later many also came from Zanzibar (such as Tippu Tip).
Swahili, a Bantu language with Arabic, Persian and other Middle Eastern and South Asian loan words, later developed as a lingua franca for trade between the different peoples.
The Luo of Kenya descend from early agricultural and herding communities from western Kenya’s early pre-colonial history. The Luo along with other tribes associated with the Nilotic language group, are known to have originated from the North of Kenya, probably the Northern regions of modern Sudan. The Nilots as they are known, are an anthropological group that originated from the northeastern regions of Africa. They may have moved south due to the wars that characterized the growth of Kingdoms such as Kush, and Egypt. In Kenya, this group comprises the Luo, Kalenjin, the Turkana and the Maasai as the main groups. This is clearly evidenced by the presence of similar dialects among certain tribes in modern day Sudan. These tribes, include the Acoli and Lwo (not same as Luo) who occupy modern Darfur region.
There are also other tribes belonging to this group in Uganda and Tanzania. This is attributed mainly to the Luo’s affinity to Lake Victoria, which they have stuck to throughout the three countries (Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya). In Uganda, they are known to have established the Buganda Kingdom and the Toro Kingdom. The Luo in Kenya are known to have fought numerous wars with their neighbors, notably the Kalenjin, for control of the lake.
Throughout the centuries, the Kenyan Coast has played host to many merchants and explorers. Among the cities that line the Kenyan coast is the City of Malindi. It has remained an important Swahili settlement since the 14th century and once rivaled Mombasa for dominance in this part of East Africa. Malindi has traditionally been a friendly port city for foreign powers. In 1414, the Arab Sultan of Malindi initiated diplomatic relations with China during the voyages of the explorer Zheng He.[10] Malindi authorities welcomed the great Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama, in 1498.

Are all of you really that crazy? Do you really think America is really that slow that they would not know everything there is to know about the person that may run their country? Seriously! Now that he is in there, he must’ve passed every test. Or do you think the people are that smart that they can fool this nation with phony or false documentations? I mean how many other Presidents has had to show their birth certificates? Please except that he is but a man. A good man. Move on Press. This is why your news papers sell so good. Because people need to believe that someone else is smaller or lesser than them, to make theirselves bigger.

there is no one on this earth who can say that He or She haws nothing to hide. people who want to know the real Barack should rather listen to themselves first and investigate into their lives and they will see that they are not all from America but we are all from different sources. let us all believe that we are all one people

Barack Obam will be EXPOSED! John McCain had to provide his birth certificate…. why can’t Barack? As an African American, I was offended because “Barack or Barry” used his “race” as a sword and shield, and the media went right along with him. Anyone who questioned his character was accused of being a racist..what a joke. I find it so funny that the majority of African Americans voted for Barack as president, but then voted for Prop 8! When will people open their eyes!

Well what the heck, that clears it all up and makes me feel all better. Now I fully understand why he refuses to release it and is spending tax dollars to prevent folks from knowing he is a Muslim and Arab… After all that would effect voters and prevent him from taking office becuase public opinion would be tanted. O wait a minute he is already in office. Silly me what was I thinking that the President would want to be open and transparent.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

The race of the father would have been listed as Black or Negro.
The Bureau of Vital Statistics would have known that neither “Arabic” or “African” is a race.
Even today, the races are Caucasian (White), Negroid (Black) and Mongoloid (Asians).
Native Americans were denoted as “American).
Further, the birth certificates of the 1960’s would NOT have necessarily denoted the race of the father or mother, but only the child, according to the laws applied to recognize the parents’ race.
Interestingly enough, today there are even more dumb common errors as referring to “Hispanic” as a race in the popular culture.
Hispanics, of course, are racially caucasians (white), and that is shown on official birth certificates.

Public officials should release said documents to prove the rumors untrueand show his stated transperency (only done when it benefits himself). Otherwise he may have something to hide. Glad I didn’t vote for this guy. Socialist. Americans have fallen asleep, and bought into the retoric. Suckers….

It does not matter if this document is fake or authentic. No other president has had to show the world their birth certificate to prove himself. We can all see by his skin color that he is obviously not 100% Caucasian, and your race does not always indicate your religion. Also, to those who are not supporters of Obama, that is fine. However it is immature, unpatriotic, and ignorant to negatively speak about him in a rude manner. “ZerObama”, really…grow up America!

Here it is ya’ll
1. He is a damn Muslim, there are pictures of him in there dress.
2. I think until the early 70’s BC’s said Negro not African.
3. He has a Muslim name, and there religion is passed through the Father, like the Jewish faith is passed through the mother. If he is Christian than why is he dressed like a damn Muslim.
So I ask, why is the enemy who beheads our fellow Americans in office. I say if he wants to prove to me he was born here, take me to Hawaii in his plane and buy a damn birth certificate in front of me. Way to go America. I don’t care if the president is black, only that it ain’t the Damn Enemy we’re fighting. In fact I have some black friends I’ll vote for, because they have what it takes to run this country. I have said my peace.
