It is obvious the document submitted by the White House was a fake.
It does not answer the question of whether the fake was submitted on purpose to discredit Conservatives, or if it was a sincerely produced fake.
The Obama administration used the “birther” allegations to smear everyone.
My suspicion is there is a genuine American birth certificate out there, waiting to discredit any “birther” attempt to discredit Obama.
I have said this over and over again, but people just ignore it and continue prattling on with stupid irrational theories.
*I* was adopted. I have a real birth certificate, and I have a fake birth certificate. In most states it is a normal practice to produce a fake birth certificate when a child is adopted.
Now we know Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro in 1965. If this was done in Hawaii, Obama's original birth certificate (If it exists) would be sealed by court order in Hawaii.
I believe it was in 1973 that Obama came back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents, and it is quite likely they adopted him so they could have legal custody of him, because he spent the next decade or so living with them.
If they got legal guardianship through adoption in 1973, (and Barrack Senior showed up in Hawaii at that precise time, possibly to sign away his rights to the child) the Barack Obama would have had another adoption, and another order form the court to seal his records.
So the point is, the State may very well have fabricated his most recent birth certificate, but they did it through the legal adoption process, and his old record or records are under seal.
States routinely create fake birth certificates for adopted children. They very likely created a fake birth certificate for Obama because he was adopted.
And it's legal for any purpose under the sun *EXCEPT* proving he was actually born in Hawaii.
That is the only thing you cannot do with a State created fake birth certificate.
