Insult to postal workers everywhere: The "broken stamp theory" or "missing ink theory" is an insult to postal workers everywhere.

Are people so naive to think that Obama's Selective Service form was the first or only document or letter or envelope or box where the so-called "broken" stamp was used on Jul 29, '08?

Have people forgotten---especially Obama supporters---that a postal employee routinely stamps many documents, letters, envelopes, and boxes with a date stamp every day, so isn't it reasonable to expect that once the postal employee noticed that his stamp was "broken", he would have switched to another one that was not broken?

(I don't know how busy that particular post office was in 1980, but I think that it was in Honolulu and not on one of the other islands, so I would think it had many customers, especially in 1980, when I don't think that companies like UPS and Federal Express were used that much.)

My point is this: If all that Obama supporters have is the "broken stamp theory" or the "ink missing theory" to prove that Obama's Selective Service form is authentic, then they have nothing, and the only conclusion we have left is that Obama's Selective Service form is a fake.

You may want to check the long threads re: the SS document. IIRC the response to the FOI request was responded to from Chicago not HI. There were several “WHAT?” type comments when that was revealed. (not to mention the laughter that followed)

John,

If they were busy, would anyone have noticed a doctored stamp?

Would there be ANY other oddball stamps like o’s had?

If there aren’t any, then that points to deliberate tampering.

That’s not the only problem with the document though.
