I'm sure you realize, then, that they innocently invalidated the document by doing that. If they want to convince me, then they must use a legal document to do so. Even if the document is not a forgery, it is invalidated as a legal document.

“I’m sure you realize, then, that they innocently invalidated the document by doing that. “
That’s fine. They are not applying for a passport, and Obama used an original or paper copy to do so. All I am saying is that taking a valid birth cert. and blacking out the numbers doesn not make it a ‘forgery’.
“Even if the document is not a forgery, it is invalidated as a legal document.” It’s a campaign released piece of information is all.
As mentioned much earlier in the thread, Obama needed a passport many years ago, and his passport required the proof of place of birth.
It’s an absurdity to think his public bio says born in Honolulu Hawaii if his passport does not. Thus his passport says the same and was based on same information as presented by the campaign.
I agree that there is a slim chance this is a forgery, my argument has been that the claims thus far have not proven it. This looks like a case of some people *wanting* it to be a forgery and grasping at whatever straws there are to ‘prove it’. A blacked out cert # is one such straw - it proves nothing really.
