Was it just a hoax?
I bet they thought they had a mole in the camp but the “mole” was playing them.
It was just a hoax if you believe that he was really spotted in Austin the day before.

A well-crafted one to make Sorter look bad? Possibly true. But why would they go to that measure?
I agree with the article that we often fly off the handle and run with sketchy or anecdotal information sometimes ending up with egg on our collective faces, but the Obama birth certificate I think is an exception.
The document that ultimately was supposedly the final word on Obama's birthright was proven to be a modern fabrication and not the original. Was that a purposeful deception, intended to throw skeptics on a long forensic trail of dead-ends? If so, our political enemies are far more devious than we believe.
Maybe but there is something to this. The institution would never reply that someone was never a patent. They would have claimed they never release patent information because that is all they can do. Remember todays conspiracy is tomorrows fact.
