I was listening to an interview with Jerome Corsi, the author of the recently released “Where's the Birth Certificate?"
From what he was saying this is a forgery. First off if you look at the left side it looks like it was a copy out of a book. But then it was superimposed on the green background where the date stamp of April 25, 2011 is. Secondly, the race of the father is listed as "African". In 1961 the race would have been listed as "Negro" or "Negroid", just as the mother was listed as "Caucasian". African would be a continent of origin or nationality like "Canadian", not a race. I guess we can take Corsi with a grain of salt since he's selling a book, but IMHO those were good arguments.
Still the question remains, why the big coverup, and why can't we look up hospital records for that hospital at that time and see the mother's patient records. Really this should be easily verifiable.
