They have tried, repeatedly, to get FactCheck to post full page, flatbed scans of the CoLB in question ( as was done with the previous CoLB's ) and they have refused.
Here's the 64,000 dollar question that the Obama apologists on this thread simply cannot answer :
Why in the hell is it OK for FactCheck to get its hands on a copy of Obama's CoLB but NOT OK for an actual Court of Law to obtain a certified copy of the long form...???
Well....?
Excellent point, and one I also raised in reference to the real COLB that Michele sent me, "If a total stranger can do it, then why not Obama?"
FactCheck is Annenberg. Annenberg is linked to Obama and Ayers.
I'm not sure who's COLB Factcheck got its "hands" on, but my money is on FactCheck and Annenberg being the souce of all the forgeries, both scanned and photographed..
It should be no surprise that the offices of Annenberg were used for their phony photo shoot, so why not the scan as well.
Yep. FactCheck has both the means, the opportunity, and the motive for manufacturing Obama's COLB from someone else's scanned original.
I've said that FactCheck most likely made the other two copies of it and sent them to the Kos and FTS, respectively. In fact, I'd bet that they sent the Kos a copy that was already cropped, with Certificate Number redacted, and with a moderate increase in JPG compression, just so that they could release the "original scan" (just a less compressed version) when the time came for it.
Sure enough, that's exactly what they did. That's the reason why the same Exif data is in both copies.
Then they basically waited to see what sorts of responses they would receive on the Kos and FTS websites. However, they did't wait for long because they issued their "higher res" forgery copy on June 16.
What I'd like to know, for sure, is why they decided to do the photo shoot in mid-August after everyone else's research had been discredited.
I mean, I can make a compelling case for myself being the thorn in their side that prompted it because I kept pressing the issue, keeping it alive when they thought that they were in the clear, and that it had rolled over and died.
But, in reality, FactCheck, like so many of their dishonest breed, do really stupid things thinking that nobody is going to question them.
It's what they say that gave them away.
No, there aren't. But I've spent enough time with Polarik's nonsense so I'll just leave it at that.

Here's a better question. Why didn't Berg simply pay a visit Obama's campaign headquarters in Chicago and ask to see the actual paper document? Even the folks at FactCheck had to put in at least that much effort.
