In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document’s authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is “fake.”
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.

In fact, the conspiracy would need to be even deeper than our colleagues realized. In late July, a researcher looking to dig up dirt on Obama instead found a birth announcement that had been published in the Honolulu Advertiser on Sunday, Aug. 13, 1961:
We don’t give a hoot what you and your fellow rump-swabs at factcheck or any other bogus website have “concluded.” The original document (not some computer printout) needs to be fully vetted by a court and displayed for everyone to see for themselves.
Is that you, Axelrod?
So you claim that Obama has such a document, and he's provided it to the good, even-handed, fair-minded folks over at "FactCheck.org," but for some inexplicable reason, he has spent over $900,000.00 in legal fees to prevent anyone else from looking at it?
How did someone with such irrationally conspiratorial claims end up with a logon of "Rationalist101?"
Of all the phenomenally creative and implausible explanations America has been handed so far, that one takes the cake. ROFLMFAO!!!
You are considerably more ignorant than those whom you so feebly attempt to deceive if that's the best you can do. Doesn't even pass the smell test, much less a logical perusal. Back under your rock, Socialist scumbag. America hasn't got much use for incompetent filth like you and your ilk, and it appears your kind insists on finding that out the hard way.

Those announcements in the paper mean nothing. They are generated automatically in response to information generated by the Hawaii Health Department. The laws at that time were so lax, than Obami could have been born somewhere else, and a relative of his mother could have mailed in the paperwork that said he was born in Hawaii. If he WAS born in a hospital in Hawaii, then the doctors signature WILL be on the long form. If it is not, I can only conclude that he was not in fact born in a Hawaiian hospital. This would put the lie to his entire story. It's all come down to the doctors signature now. Nothing else matters.
Nobody I know is claiming he is not a US citizen. Everyone agrees that Obama is a US citizen.
They don't agree that he is a "natural born" US citizen.
The original birth certificate would settle the issue, and any abstract, such as the certification of live birth, will not.
