iven how many electrons we've pushed back and forth about the validity of Obama's BC, the amount of careful high resolution examinations we've made and the hours we've discussing pixel counts, do you think the 20 seconds an overloaded examiner spends on a BC during the Passport issuing process would catch even a moderately good forgery every time?

Well, this "fake" is new and the guy who did it was pretty talented but it only holds for posting on the internet. The passport examiners won't take copies, electronic images or such. They want original embossed and stamped documents or you get no where.

Moreso, if Obama provided a "fake" BC for his passport.. he could quit worrying about eligibility to be president and instead start worrying about staying out of prison.

Now what is more likely, is that he does have a Hawaii birth certificate but that it has something they don't want out.. so that a passport could be issued without any big issue as the question is just citizenship or not, rather than the question of meeting a Constitutional test, so at the time.. it wasn't an issue.

McKinnon probably didn’t even originate the image. I think he modified an already existing spoof.

I believe post #564 is addressed to you.

You have not demonstrated that BHO used an original embossed and stamped birth certificate to get his passport. There are a number of substitute documents that can be used for the purposes of getting a passport, as detailed in post #564.

Therefore the validity or even the existence of a document he may not have even used to get a passport is moot.

The validity of what he is purporting to be his BC on his web site is still very much in play.

As it is neither embossed, nor stamped, and shows some electronic fingerprints of tampering, it is hardly proof positive of his birth as a citizen.
