Why, oh why, are we continuing to debate this stupid gotcha issue? Even if he is not constitutionally able to take the office of President, you know that the Supreme Court will rule that Obama meets the intentions of the law or some other slight of hand bull.
Can we get back to the millions of issues where Obama is not just wrong, but in absolute opposition to the vast majority of the people of the United States?
Does anyone have a link to the (probably valid) image of Obama’s mother’s BC? It was posted on a FR thread a few days ago.
Thx...

The Federal Election Commission could investigate to see if Obama is eligible to become president.
Certigate continues, unabated.
First of all let me say that this continuous nitpicking does make us here at FR look a little too much like democrats; on the other hand, it is so much darn fun to see this battle of technological sleuthing ongoing in real time that it takes our mind off the ‘final solution...’

Was anyone watching PBS last night?...
Now that the laughter has quelled a bit...
There was segment about the father of digital image forensics, Dartmouth professor Hany Farid. He now works with Adobe in developing software to determine the certitude of documents such as these. He was on Nova science Now last night and would be the expert to contact imo. If his name has already been raised, pardon the redundancy. You can view the segment online at you know where, and it is VERY compelling.
“This self-proclaimed “accidental scientist” is a digital detective inventing new ways to tell if photos have been faked.”

What is the significance of the hidden seal? Doesn’t that prove that the document is authentic? It just didn’t scan, as it wsa photographed from the front..with a digital camera. Am I wrong?

I recreated what you did with the filter "Edge-Detect" using GIMP. The Official Obama site, that I saved a week ago, BC shows no seal using the filter while the KOS site Obama BC does show the outlined of a "seal".
The seal is definitely photoshopped phony-baloney.
I decided to register with Ancestry dot com.
I looked up Obama’s Mother’s name. She is on file and so his Barack Obama Sr. with five children in Africa listed under his name, but no Barack Obama birth record.
So I added his name and the only thing that came up was his records of residences in Massachusetts and Illinois as an adult.
I tried Soetoro…but got his sister Maya Soetoro and her father Lolo Soetoro.
Also, his mother has a civil marriage listed for the State of Washington, but I don’t know to whom.
I found it odd that his half brothers and sisters would be on record, but nothing about his birth. Obama should have come up as the child of Stanley Ann Dunham. Sounds pretty strange!!!
