I did read about it. No signature, no creases visible, weird shadows around the letters, “certification” versus “certificate” of birth. To me, it’s a stretch, but I don’t have a problem with your position. I find the whole thing fascinating.

“To me, it’s a stretch”

“I just think that no matter what the evidence, no matter what the proof, some will insist that Obama is not constitutionally eligible to be president.”

Take out the “not” and apply to yourself.

You may also be interested in this information at factcheck.org. Factcheck.org has viewed and photographed and posted the pictures of Obama's birth certificate, including the raised seal, at this link. They also show a copy of Obama's birth announcement from the Honolulu Advertiser.

Factcheck.org is run by the Annenberg Public Policy Center. The Annenberg Public Policy Center was founded by Walter Annenberg, a very good Republican. (Note the picture at the link of the Annenbergs greeting President Reagan.

Of course, I've been told here that none of the above matters because factcheck.org is an allegedly liberal organization so all the information there doesn't matter even though factcheck.org is cited by candidates from both sides, Democrat and Republican. McCain mentioned factcheck.org in one of the debates. (I believe he called it factcheck.com in error.)

The birth certificate not withstanding, the birth announcement from 1961 cinches it for me. Unless there was some kind of conspiracy 47 years ago between the doctors, the state of Hawaii, the local newspaper and others to conceal Obama's real place of birth, I don't think there's much more to be said.
