the only response I recall seeing from the governor was to confirm that a COLB had been provided to Obama in 2008. Since the one posted online has 2007 bleeding through from the back, I took this as odd.
Later, when the photos showed up on FactCheck. There appears to be photos from two different copies, 2007 and 2008. There are clearly folds and creases in the photos that do not appear in original scanned copy.
I assumed perhaps Obama got one late in 2008 after all the questioning of the one posted online which I believe was probably manufactured by someone at the Kos blog site where it first appeared...then picked up and used by Obama’s campaign. If so, they don’t match exactly and would be proof of the first one not being legit. They will not even allow a reporter to get a copy of the COLB that’s posted online. Why?
Their own laws say that you may request VERIFICATION of their records. If the Obama campaign has placed this online and insisted it is a true and correct copy, then why isn’t Hawaii required to give out an exact copy (not his original records) to anyone who requests verification?
Why would a presidential candidate post his birth certificate on a blog very few people even knew of, before placing it on his own site?
The numbering sequence is also a big red flag.
