Amusing video. Created by your journeyman script kiddie. In understandable awe (and incomprehension) of John Warnock's genius. I wouldn't hire him. But I'd certainly recommend him as a customer consultant to the local Radio Shack (he'd be an improvement, based on recent experience).
Document forensics is a blind alley. It's simply not the point here. Either what the White House released is a true copy, meaning it asserts the same facts, pixel-perfect or not, of what Hawaii has on file or it isn't.
I think it’s another distraction that folks are getting tunnel-vision on. I wouldn’t be surprised to find the White-House intentionally & knowingly released the suspect, layered document to provide a wild-goose to be chased.
Whether it’s real or fake, it clearly shows his father was Kenyan and Obama has admitted such.
Does that apparent “dual-citizenship-at-birth” invalidate Obama as a *natural-born* citizen? If so, how does one get that decided/verified by the Supreme Court? Those are the questions that I think should be pursued and persistently asked. Everytime someone sits for an interview, that line of questioning should be doggedly pursued.
The typical responses are so easily defeated that it boggles the mind why it’s not being hammered:
- The “Law of Nations” defines the term unequivocably in book-1, Ch 19, Section 212, “Citizens and Natives” (http://www.constitution.org/vattel/vattel_01.htm).
- Neither Chester Arthur nor Spiro Agnew set any “precedent” simply because prior errors do not invalidate the Constitution.
- The 14th amendment does not define *natural-born*; it just defines “citizens”. For example, Schwarzenegger is a “citizen”.
It just frustrates me that no-one is hammering this issue in the media. It’s obvious.
Whether the released document is fake or not strikes me as the wrong path to pursue. We don’t know what we “don’t know”. The released doc could contain the exact same info as the original. The original may not exist. etc.
What we *DO* know (that Obama has himself admitted to time and again) is that his dad was a foreign citizen and that indicates Obama held dual-citizenship at birth.
Someone far smarter than I will need to suggest what to do about the dual-citizenship question and how to go about it.
