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?
I agree. I won’t even speculate about why. The important piece to me is- IS the document posted on his official site a forgery? It appears to be- and THAT is The Story.
Yep, I have a yellow birth cert and a white one than, in no way resemble each other, except the D.O.B., my name, and mom’s name. One has a bunch of details (weight, doctor, father, etc), the other just the essentials.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I also have two “certificates”. The one with the bunch of details was issued by the hospital while the other is the official county maintained version.
Make Obomation produce an AUTHENTIC birth certificate. This is important- also prove he registered for selective service and prove that he was baptised into a ‘Christian’ church!
I’d also like to see his LSAT score...
Politics does strange bedfellows make...GO HILLARY!!!
“Point Nr. 3...Oops. That’s game, set, and match for me. The correct racial identifier most likely found on offcial documents such as driver licenses and birth certificates in 1961 would have been “Negro.””
The African Race was a big flag for me, and we need help from our Hawaii Freepers.
I have pinged a couple of them here.
Does Hawaii have a state ping list?
Yeah! Screw that "no religious test" stuff in the Constitution!
ROFL
No state law says only Obama, his parents, children, etc can request a copy. Not just anyone can.
Amen.
I’d say now, as if you recall Kerry and Dan Rather stonewalled wall the same thing instead of nipping it in the bud. He needs to be asked on it this week. Today.
Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. (as despicable an excuse for humanity as has ever sullied the Senate by his presence) was born in Paris while his American citizen parents were there on business. He was a citizen. George Romney (Mitt's father) was born (IIRC) in Mexico and evidence exists that his parents had left Utah for Mexico because they were (though monogamous) angry at the US for forcing monogamy on Utah as a condition of citizenship. Whatever. George Romney was an American citizen by birth to American citizens.
As to those born abroad, one parent's American citizenship will suffice. As to those born in American territory, the parents' citizenship is irrelevant and the child becomes an American citizen by birth. The child in any of thee cases may also have citizenship in other countries. Contrary to popular myth, dual and multiple citizenship is allowed and raher common. Elizabeth Taylor was born in England and has English citizenship. She also, in youth, was naturalized as an American citizen. She converted to Judaism when she married Eddie Fisher and acquired Israeli citizenship. She has that triple citizenship to this day.
How are they different?
We need to expose this communist quisling in every manner available. He makes John McCain look like a rabid right winger in comparison, and that is saying something.
Drudge has defected to the Dark Side. Actively stooging for Obama. Something about Obama’s support of Gay Marriage.
That's just flat out KOOKY and INSULTING that some of us can't do TWO THINGS at once. Any of you who can't go "sniff out the scent" of something else and those of us who can walk and chew gum will ALSO help on that too.
Did Obama really present that birth certificate or did it just appear on the Daily KOS? Are you sure that this isn’t another trap, designed to make fools of the opposition?
Instead of just TALKING about it, someone just SUER Obama and MAKE him present a certified, stamped copy of his birth certificate. I would think that any citizen would have an interest in making sure Obama is constitutionally qualified to be president and would have standing to bring such a lawsuit.
