On the contrary, in several of the many post on this subject, there have been images of BC's issued from Hawaii at a similar time that did not have SS #'s. Even if the cert did, couldn't they just redact it? Now no one would question why that was redacted for obvious reasons.
Is the "reason stated above" that you believe it was obscured with the intention of making it impossible to verify? If so, you're imputing a motive to an unknown individual based on, as far as I can tell, nothing but a guess.

That's not what I'm saying at all. I am basing it on the contrived and plotted economic "crisis" we're experiencing. But that's another discussion and off topic.
I was sloppy. What I meant to post was "I'd wager that no one on FR knew six months ago ... i.e. when the BC posted on Kos was altered.
Even if the cert did, couldn't they just redact it? Now no one would question why that was redacted for obvious reasons.
Suppose I'm posting this birth certificate. It has a number, a unique identifier that could provide access to ... I don't know what. Rather than put in the research to find out what that number opens the door to, before I put it out to the wide world, I'm likely to err on the side of caution. Especially if I'm on a deadline.
The Occam's Razor answer is that the person posting the photo didn't want it used to access other information. Which would necessarily include verifying it with the state database.
It's a leap to assume that the person who redacted the certificate number knew that there was some specific information he was helping to hide. It is an even farther leap to assume that the certificate number was redacted at the behest of the Obama campaign, especially since they allowed other groups to photograph the certificate with the number unobscured.
