Analysis: Faked birth certificate suggests Obama may not be US citizen

t is now a virtual certainty that the "birth certificate" claimed by the Barack Obama campaign as authentic is a photoshopped fake.

The image, purporting to come from the Hawaii Department of Health, has been the subject of intense skepticism in the blogosphere in the past two weeks.

It has become even more suspect with the revelation that variations of the certificate image were posted on the Photobucket image aggregation website -- including one listing the location of Obama's birth as Antarctica, one with the certificate supposedly issued by the government of North Korea, and another including a purported photo of baby Barack -- one of which has a "photo taken" time-stamp just two minutes before the article and accompanying image was posted on the left-wing Daily Kos blog.

That strongly suggests that Daily Kos obtained the image from Photobucket, not the State of Hawaii, the Obama family, or the Obama campaign. Photobucket is not known as a credible supplier of official vital records for any of the fifty states, and the liberties that other Photoshoppers took with the certificates confirms this.

One thing we know for sure. The good folks in the state of Hawaii will guard the truth of Obama’s birth forever.

African is not a race!

Does anyone from Hawaii know if this is how they categorized race back in 1961? What if he had been from the USA, but was black?

[gridlock]

So, which 13 states aren’t going to ratify that one?

[San Jacinto]

If it turns out the Hawaii birth certificate is a fake, and the North Korean birth certificate is real-—that’s a BOMBSHELL!!!!!

[DuncanWaring]

Right - but one can’t get a passport without either a birth certificate or naturalization certificate.

[Non-Sequitur]

One can get a US Passport without meeting the requirements of the office of President. George Soros holds a US Passport, FCOL.

George Soros is a natrualized citizen and had to provide proof of naturalization when he applied for the passport. If Obama was born in the states then so would he.

Sorry. Being a citizen and being a “natural born citizen” is different. Otherwise Govs. Schwartzenegger and Granholm would run for President. Both were born outside of the country and became US citizens. The President must be born within the US.

[Non-Sequitur]

Yeah right. The Democrats will just change the law.

It would take changing the Constitution.

[Grampa Dave]

In 1961 the race might have been recorded as: Negro

I don’t know what terms were used in the states then.

African American didn’t appear until after MLK.

[pissant]

And that will be easy because??

[Raycpa]

African race was a common used term

They can change the definition of “naturalized”.

African is not a race!

I gotta think that back in 1961, which is pre-PCE (politically correct era), the father's race would have been listed as Negroid.

[Clara Lou]

Provide evidence that....
Sorry. We don't have to "provide" a darned thing. Obama's the one running for office, the one who has to meet the criteria to become POTUS. He needs to provide.

[Domandred]

McCain was born in Panama.

[DuncanWaring]

Hopefully no state would ratify it.

I suspect it would be impossible, procedurally, to get 38 to ratify it before the Electoral College meets on the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December 2008.

Who's to say they haven't and are simply waiting for the ideal time to reveal what they have? I don't care what anyone says, I've said numerous times and will say again, I've see way too many B-grade horror flicks to think for a moment that she is dead. As a mid-50’s teenager I learned at a very impressionable time of my life that the more dead they appear to be, the less likely they are. She went much too quietly into the dark night for me. My guess is the only reason she would make such a nice speech and then agree to work with him on the campaign trail is because she knows full well what the future holds for him

Nope, I'm holding on to my hand until the last card is dealt.

Let’s get buckhead on this. If he can bring down media “giant” Dan Rather, he can surely bring down media creation Barrack Oboma.

A person can be eligible to be president yet not a citizen. Do not confuse the constitution with the law.
