Technically, it is hearsay. The photos haven't been entered in court. The photos haven't been validated. The photos HAVE been scrubbed of EXIF data that was inconsistent with the story that was posted. The document in the photos doesn't match the alleged document in the image originally scanned and distributed by Tommy Vietor. The issuing agency won't confirm the certificate number as belonging to Obama. Factlack doesn't have credentials for authenticating legal documents. There are a lot of problems with this alleged evidence.
Good list of ‘issues’ with the photos. Here are some others. birth_certificate_1.jpg was taken during the day, birth_certificate_3.jpg was taken at night. Yet before the EXIF data was scrubbed it showed the photos were taken over a 7 minute period. It went from light (1) to real dark (3) outside in 7 minutes if that is the case. So even the original set of EXIF data was likely manipulated.
One thing for sure - some of the photos were taken in the Obama Chicago Headquarters.
It is too bad that Jess Henig and Joe Miller (now working at the COB) will not grant interviews or discuss their ‘session’ with this most famous (or infamous) document.
Excellent summary.
