Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.
The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.
The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.
Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.
McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

I'm wary of this whole thing too. Look at the date of the story -- July 3rd? It's not even a current article.
I'm thinking that even if Obama lost his US citizenship (thru adoption by Lolo Soetero) it's not going to be proven by Nov 4th. The courts are not going to step-in & possibly sway the election on an unproven allegation. We need to win the election on its merits.
There have been US Presidents who were born in territories before they became states. I believe that precedent would hold in the case of Alaska or Hawaii -- can't see why it wouldn't.
Barry Goldwater was born in the Arizona Territory, before it became a state.
Thank you. I wasn’t sure. I checked Lincoln & after that, figured someone would know & save me the time of trying to track down an example.
I was looking for a precedent, since I didn’t know if the issue had ever been settled.
I’m pretty sure that’s the only example, which kind of surprises me. I would have thought one of those 19th Century guys would have been born in a territory, but apparently not. East of the Mississippi got made into states pretty quickly, during that time when most presidents came from Virginia (7 of the first 12). Truman was the first president born west of the Mississippi.
But, you're right about all of those 19th Century guys. I would bet that most of the continental territories were populated with a larger percentage of new immigrants than states that had been part of the country for awhile.
Ohio was retro-actively admitted to the Union in 1953 because the formal procedure for admission was not followed back in 1803 when Ohio’s boundaries were “officially recognized”. Several presidents were born in Ohio between 1803 & 1953. I believe that 1 of them was legally challenged due to the technical oversight. Can’t say which.
Lucy,
Can you help with any guidance, please?
I feel like I’m up to my recovering chest congestion in black Obumma swamp mud . . . i.e. truck loads of links, docs etc. . . .
I’m trying to winnow them down to a manageable, workable, readable number of pages to send to my email list and offer to the McCain student side in my two classes in case they wish to make them part of both sides distributed to the whole class collection of materials.
I feel I’ve hardly started and am on page 14.
Sigh.
Quix, no kidding! I understand about being up to your neck in a swamp.
This past weekend Chief Engineer read through this entire thread twice searching for broken links, so he might be able to help with a synopsis.
I’ll send a freepmail, too, which might be helpful.
Much appreciated. Thanks.
The number of clueless ignorant uninformed idiots at the college is astounding. Sadly, most are so much in denial and brain dead, no amount of solid evidence will sway them. Thankfully that’s not true for all.
Have an executive summary here but it has to be sent to an e-mail other than Freepmail. If you have an email which can handle 2.7 meg it can be sent along. I have a few other items which have not been posted but they will be posted on the relevant threads. When I started this I felt to understand Jr one had to go back to research his family as well as him. That is why I was able to deduce that the address listed on the published birth announcements was NOT associated with either the Dunhams or Obama Sr. That set off red flags so I just kept on googling. Other links which I found were just as informative and it gives me something to do since I shattered my upper right arm in May. With a laptop I can still google using the touchpad.
Kudos!
I just sent an email to the WA lawsuit filer with the link to this thread and also mentioned the possibility that Ann remained in WA state. Maybe he can go to the library in Seattle and look for the city directory for 1961 and 1962 to see if she is in there!
That seems to be the same address as 0bomba's birth announcement.
Below is an article I've never seen here. FYI:

January 30, 2008EXCLUSIVE - Obama's Nation of Islam Staffers, Edward Said & "Inflexible Jews" Causing Mid-East Conflict: An Obama Insider Reveals the Real BarackBy Debbie Schlussel - Copyright 2008 **** EXCLUSIVE: Must Cite Debbie Schlussel and/or DebbieSchlussel.com **** Responding to criticism by Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen, Barack Obama declared his strong opposition to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan: I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan. Obama also went on to condemn his Church's award to Farrakhan and his minister's tight relationship with him. But a former Obama insider says that Obama's sudden aversion to NOI and Farrakhan is belied by the fact that Obama employed and continues to employ several Farrakhan acolytes in high positions on his Illinois and U.S. Senate campaign and office staffs. I have verified that this person--who agreed to talk on the condition of anonymity--held a key position in the Obama campaign. The insider was so close to Senator Obama that they frequently personally discussed and exchanged direct e-mail messages on campaign and policy matters. This person is not connected with the Clintons and is not a disgruntled employee. The insider says he frequently objected to Mr. Obama's placement of Cynthia K. Miller, a member of the Nation of Islam, as the Treasurer of his U.S. Senate campaign. When I contacted Miller, now a Chicago real estate agent, to verify whether she was a member of the Nation of Islam and whether she shared Louis Farrakhan's bigoted views about Jews, she responded, "None of your business! Where are you going with this?" She said her resignation as Obama's treasurer had nothing to do with her Nation of Islam ties. Then, she hung up. The Obama insider says he also objected to Obama's involvement with Jennifer Mason, whom he says is also a member of the Nation of Islam. Mason is Obama's Director of Constituent Services in his U.S. Senate office and is also in charge of selecting Obama's Senate interns. She did not respond to repeated calls for comment. But it's not just that he employed these individuals in positions of power in his office, it's that when the former associate raised objections, he says Mr. Obama's position was that he saw nothing wrong with the Nation of Islam and didn't think it was a problem. If true--and the fact that Ms. Mason still holds her prominent Obama Senate staff position bears that out--Obama's condemnation of Farrakhan, this month, is phony. But the insider says there is more to it than that. Obama's Illinois State Senate district consisted of prime Nation of Islam territory, including Hyde Park, home to Farrakhan's mansion. It is not possible, Illinois politicos say, to win that district without the blessing of the NOI leader. NOI members, including consultant Shakir Muhammad, held important roles in the Obama state senate campaign. How many Nation of Islam members will work in an Obama White House? Then, there is the issue of Israel. When Obama first ran for the U.S. Senate, he gave militant responses to the Chicago Jewish News about Israel. Obama denounced Israel's fence--which he called a "wall" and "barrier to peace"--to keep out terrorists and favored working with Yasser Arafat. When members of the Chicago Jewish community circulated his responses, Obama said that the answers were not his positions, but the work of a low-level intern. He submitted new answers. But that was a lie, the insider says. In fact, they were the work of Obama's Policy Director, Audra Wilson. Moreover, Obama told the insider that he blamed the Mideast conflict on the Jews: Barack told me that he felt that Jewish community was too inflexible, and that was why the situation in the Mideast could not be resolved. This is the man who says in a new campaign ad that Hillary Clinton will say anything but change nothing. Barack Obama will say anything, but change his answers. Palestinian activist and Islamist Ali Abunimah, who was a close friend of Obama's, attended an Arab fundraiser at which the late Edward Said--plagiarist, fabricator, and prominent PLO/Arafat advisor--was the keynote speaker, and at which the Obamas were notably in attendance. Pictures on Abunimah's site, posted above, show Obama and wife, Michelle, sitting next to Said and engaging in conversation. Abunimah, in a must-read article, says the Senator has since "changed" his proclaimed views from those he expressed privately, in order to get Jewish donors and votes. And he has succeeded in spades. Lee Rosenberg a top Illinois official of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the pro-Israel lobby is a big Obama donor. Ditto for former national AIPAC official Bob Asher. And Penny Pritzker of the pro-Israel family that owns Hyatt hotels. And there are so many others who have bought in to Obama's newly pro-Israel views. The insider says Obama pulled the wool over their eyes. Then, there's Bettylu Saltzman, also Jewish and one of Obama's first major supporters and donors. She is a major Peace Now devotee, officer of the far-left, pro-capitulation New Israel Fund, and wrote a letter to a Chicago newspaper praising Jimmy Carter's book calling Israel an apartheid state. The Obama insider says she has Obama's ear on the Mideast and "will be a major policy person for Barack. Very dangerous." The insider points to Mr. Obama's changing views in Iraq as another area of uncertainty. He has highlighted his opposition to the War in Iraq. The insider says there is strong speculation that Obama attempted to get his crony, Federal Indictee Tony Rezko, a contract to build a nuclear power plant in the new Iraq. Rezko, a Syrian Arab who helped Obama in a deal to purchase his home, was in a partnership with NOI founder Elijah Muhammad's son, Jabir. Barack Obama can denounce Louis Farrakhan ad infinitum. But with supporters like Ms. Saltzman, high-level staffers who are Nation of Islam members, and constantly morphing views on Israel merely for donor appeal, a Barack Obama White House bodes poorly both for Israel and--far more important--for America.

Thank you, Lady Jag. That’s quite a post, and news to me.
Hey, y’all; (showin’ off my Suth-ren accent) ping to #6096.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2040486/posts?page=6096#6096
Could you let us know if he responds? Just another late thought — what jurisdictions did Obama and his mom vote in? Would voter rolls go back to that era?
Thanks for the ping. The guy is truly scarey.
