Is Barack Obama a United States citizen, and is he eligible to run for President of the United States, or did he present a forged government document to verify a citizenship he does not possess? For a few weeks now these questions have been swirling around the internet. The questions have become so prominent that Obama addressed the issue on his “Fight the Smears” website. Of course, in typical Obama fashion it is becoming clear that nothing is as it seems.
His site says the following:
The truth about Barack’s birth certificate
Lie: Obama Is Not a Natural Born Citizen
Truth: Senator Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, after it became a state on August 21st, 1959. Obama became a citizen at birth under the first section of the 14th Amendment “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
There it is, the Certification of Live Birth. Case closed. Or is it? Two sources have raised what has proven to be very interesting, and troubling questions. Polarik, a blogger from Townhall.com, and the israelinsider, have both posted compelling evidence that can no longer be ignored, or brushed off as ridiculous.
Friday, June 20, 2008, Polarik, who claims to have extensive experience in the world of computers, printers, and typewriters, wrote “given a set of printed letters, I can discern what kind of device made them. Printer output is quite different from the text created by a graphics program, and even if a document looks “official,” it may not be.” He goes on to claim that anyone could have produced this document, and then proceeds to point out every flaw imaginable with this alleged certificate. Because his article is so detailed, and technical, I advise my readers to follow the link and read it for yourself. Have no fear. He has visuals to help you make sense of it.
Yesterday morning I read an article in the Israelinsider, written by Reuven Koret. Koret’s article eliminates any lingering question as to whether or not the Certificate of Live Birth is a forgery/fake.
Koret begins his article by linking to Photobucket, an image gathering website, where millions upload images to share with others, or post in various places such as websites, etc. It shows variations of the same Certificate of Live Birth presented by the Obama camp. One has Obama’s birthplace listed as Antarctica, while another shows one issued by the government of North Korea. This certainly lends credibility to Polariks argument that the Certificate of Live Birth was created by some sort of computer program, that anyone can use.
According to Koret, Janice Okubo, Director of Communications of the State of Hawaii Department of Health made clear that no birth certification, or certification of live birth is transmitted electronically, and that all certificates of live birth contain an embossed seal and registrar’s signature on the back of the document.
He then compares the 1961 Certification of Live Birth, presented as authentic on the Obama website, to one certifying the Hawaiian birth of a Patricia Decosta. The similarities and differences are quite noticeable.
Both contain a green bamboo background, though one is noticeably darker. Both contain borders that are noticeably different. Obama’s is green, and Decosta’s is black. Polarik did a fabulous job of pointing out the obvious flaws on the border of Obama’s alleged certificate.
The most compelling and disturbing items of note are the lack of an embossed seal and the registrar’s signature, on the copy being presented by Obama. Decosta’s seal, even faded with time is quite prominent, as is the registrar’s signature that bleeds through to the front of the document. The lack of these two items makes it clear that the copy presented by Obama is in fact a fake.
This raises many more questions and concerns. Why would Obama knowingly lie, and present a forged government document as official? Why does Obama refuse to present his real birth certificate, for inspection – the actual piece of paper that can be handled by reporters? Is Barack Obama a citizen of the United States? Is he eligible for the highest office of this great nation? Lastly, what laws has Obama and his camp broken by knowingly presenting a forged government document?
No.
Regardless of where his mother was born, if Obama was born outside the U.S., and if his father was not a citizen, and if his mother did not meet the age and residency requirements (which she apparently did not), then he would NOT have automatic citizenship.
And if he’s not a natural-born citizen, he’s not eligible to be President, per the Constitution.

“If only one parent was a U.S. citizen, that parent must have lived in the United States for at least ten years prior to your birth, and at least five of those years must have been after your parent reached the age of 16.”

I’m going to make a thread of your post - actually you should. It needs to be known that Obama is a Chicago thug.
You want to post it?
What if he was baptized? He could produce a baptismal certificate, and it would be just another piece of paper unless he was truly a believer. Otherwise, he could be just a wet Muslim.
1) had sealed divorce records of his Democrat primary opponent Blair Hull exposed, revealing accusations of wife-beating and forcing Hull out of the primary, and
2) had sealed divorce records of his Republican opponent Jack Ryan exposed, revealing accusations of want to perform public sex acts and forcing Ryan out of the general election.
It seems that Obama can't win without destroying his opponent by exposing sealed private records. So now, people want Obama's records exposed.
1. What proof have you that Hussein was born outside of US jurisdiction? That burden of proof would fall on anyone challenging his qualifications. "We think his birth certificate looks funny" is not going to stop him, particularly if the actual birth certificate is on file, appropriately date stamped and signed and a public record in Hawaii (an American territory or more likely a state when he was born).
2. Even if Hussein were born abroad (and concededly his father was a Kenyan national), his mother appears to have been a native of Kansas who was born and brought up there and later went world hopping (Peace Corps???) as a liberal without renouncing her citizenship. Is this not so? If it is so, then there is no argument and he qualifies.
3. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that we have a way to block him as one not born a natural citizen of the US, ought we not wait until he has been nominated to spring the trap???
Too bad Obama was born in 1961.
In other news, the earth is now expected to reverse the direction in which it turns on its axis.
You are so right! Sorry, my cut-and-paste mistake.
Go to #4 at the link. It says the same thing for 1961,
No.
This isn’t about his mother renouncing or losing her citizenship. The point is that she was only 18 when he was born, too young to have met the “5 years after age 16” requirement.
I didn’t write the law, just citing it.
As you your point 3, yes. If any of this interesting speculation is true, the Republicans probably are sitting on proof till September.
Frankly, while I find this sorta fun, old Barry has more critical vulnerabilities that McCain and company should spotlight.
Yes. That’s why all the speculation about Canada and Kenya.
It’s a long shot. He has more obvious vulnerabilities.
Obama beat out Jack Ryan? What does Tom Clancy have to say about this? ;-)

Oh, and BTW, a good post, worth bumping, about how Obama gets sealed records unsealed when it suits his own politics.
I’ll have to admit the timing sounds a bit early to me for this to be a republican smear campaign. If BO gets knocked out too early, Hildebeast regains the throne and that gives me the ultra-creeps.
Take your time, folks, until after the nomination...
