By  Daily Mail Reporter

He has been plagued with questions and doubts concerning his background  throughout his first term as President.

Questions like - is Barack Obama actually American? Is he a Muslim? Is he  actually an alien from another planet? - have frequently been asked.

The next question circulating on the internet - has President Obama had brain  surgery?

Internet blog sites, conspiracy theorists and forums are awash with  rumours  as to what those mystery scars on the president's head are from.

In pictures, Obama appears to have a long scar which goes up the side of his  head and over his crown.

Some conspiracy theorists claim they are scars that you would see on someone  who has had brain surgery.

But without medical records (along with his school records and birth  certificate) no one seems to be able to provide an answer as to the  cause of  the mystery scars.

Ben Hart, a blogger for Escape The  Tyranny a website which presents itself  as a Social Network & Forum  For Conservatives, said:  'Obama's almost  done with his first term, and  we still know almost nothing about the background  of the President of  the United States.

'Whatever happened to create that scar, it was clearly something serious. Was  it a brain operation? Has it  affected his thinking?

'No one is allowed to see his birth  certificate. He is just one big mystery  man, which adds intrigue to what that huge scar is all about.'

The 'scar' seen from another angle. One blogger says the  surgery might explain why the President has, on occasion, got lost speaking  without a teleprompter

Rumours: Ben Hart¿s Escape the Tyranny website strongly questions Obama¿s head scars as well as why no one has seen his birth certificate yet

He also said that surgery might explain why the President gets lost speaking  without a teleprompter, and posted a video of Obama struggling through a speech,  repeating his words and getting lost mid-sentence.

 

Speculation about different aspects of Obama's life first gathered momentum  when questions over his actual birthplace started to emerge, with many believing  he was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii, as he has stated.

Millions of dollars have allegedly been spent trying to ensure that it is not  released to the public, not even the Hawaiian governor has access to  it. 

Added to that are the fact his medical records have also been sealed.

A spokeswoman from the White House said they were not willing to comment on  such claims, saying they were 'ridiculous'.

Countless neurosurgeons said it is 'not their place' to comment on whether or  not distinctive scars on the President's head are as a result of brain  surgery.

Others offered explanations such as a bad haircut or even a birthmark though  many did agree that the scars are similar to those a produced after major brain  surgery.

Without medical records or an admission from the White House, the public may  never know the answer to the question, along with the contents of his birth  certificate.
