Some facts:
Obama released the COLB scan to Daily Kos FIRST.
Obama then put it up on their webiste Fight the Smears (FTS).
After Polarik started critiquing it, FTS substituted their original scan with a poor quality scan.
FTS claimed and STILL claim it is a “Birth Certificate”, which it is NOT.
Obama says in his 1995 book that he had his “birth certificate”.
After repeated requests they finally in June coughed up the COLB. Unlike Mccain, who posted his birth certificate.
The Factcheck photos are dated March 8, months before Obama posted them anywhere. And Factcheck does not tell anyone WHEN they had access. Now why would Factcheck have been invited by Obama to photograph it in the first place.
Look at the funky angles of some of the photos they posted. Note that none have a full shot of the back of the document.
For further PROOF of Factcheck’s malfeasance read some of their other dishonest defenses of Obama. Start with guns, and you’ll get the idea.
Has anyone explained how the factcheck documents (or photos of documents) were generated?
Great summary, Pissant. The only thing I would add/correct to the facts you've stated above is that a certain lawyer person is totally oblivious to them and must really, really enjoy losing.
Whether you're practicing law or playing cards, you NEVER show everything that's in your hand until the time is right (if ever).
All I can say, right now, is that the FactCheck photos were taken after the COLB image was posted, not before, since some of these photos were made from printouts of enhanced copies of the image, and not from Obama's real COLB.
FactCheck provided no complete photos of the Seal (and second fold) on the reverse side of the COLB because the source Seal on the real COLB they used (NOT Obama's) had no fold line going through it.
The absence of this fold (or the upper fold) is either because the source COLB was obtained in person at Hawaii's Vital Records offices and was, therefore, not folded for mailing (like the one I received from Dan), or the bottom of the COLB was folded ABOVE the seal like several of the other COLB images we've all seen.
However, because all of their alleged, frontal photos of the COLB show a fold slicing through the upper portion of the Seal, they had to crop all their photos of the back right below where the fold line should have been visible running through both the Seal and the bottom half of the COLB itself.
In other words, the photos taken of the front side and reverse side of a COLB did not come from a single COLB!!!
Naturally, I have the visual proof to back up everything I said here, \but like Kenny Rogers once sang,
"Ya gotta know when to hold them..."
And, you better believe that these are a few of my hole cards.
The 'factcheck' site shows little snips of a stamp and a seal that could have come from anywhere. The only image shown of the entire front of the document is deliberately obscured by folding and shadow.
Obviously Anneberg/Factcheck think we are all idiots, and half the time, they would be right.
