Someone might want to tell Mr. Bomford the BC on that site was created using a template from the (fake or not) Kenyan BC.

BTTT
Red Herring. There’s something else in BO real records.
OK . . . . First, it sounds like this Bomford fellow is just saying it looks like his BC, but is not providing positive confirmation that it is genuine, that it matches one he has seen. Second, who is to say he isn’t in on the hoax? If someone were to create a bogus Australian BC, they would not want it to be for a person who would debunk it.
I don’t know what to make of this..but I have to say if he is innocent..I do feel sorry for him and the storm that headed his way. You go about your normal life and then one day BOOM..the whole world is at your doorstep scrutinizing your birth ceritificate.
Found more info on the Bomford one.
Not Photoshop, but another program.

Maybe Mr. Bomford can explain why the number “1” appears in two different fonts on his BC. Or maybe he can just show his original to see if it actually does.
Was his site hacked ? If so why would anyone need to do that?
If they wanted an image to create another fake image cant they just pull it off the internet?
If it was hacked its because they needed to insert a fake image on the web site
So a little more investigation might turn up who created the apparently fake Kenya BC.
The fake was produced evidently to do what it is doing, which is to discredit anyone asking to see the original Hawaiian BC.
Thats where this all started. We want to see the original Hawaiian BC, and we want the answer to a simple question; What citizenship did O claim when he was in college. Simple.
This was a pretty good fake; someone went to a lot of trouble to fog up this issue. O could clear it up at any time if he wants to. He evidently doesn’t want to, and there is a reason. Ask a simple question, and a flood of invective, mockery, and fake documents is your answer.
Its still a simple question.
I have to say, though, that so far the Bomford BC is just pixels. If I had to decide between a BC that is paper and one that is pixels, I’d say that the paper is more likely real and the pixels are the artfully photoshopped copy.
So who is Mr. Bomford?
Bomford's BC was "found" after the Kenyan BC. There is nothing to prove the Australian BC is not forged unless Bomford obtains and publishes a new reissue that contains identical information
Bomford is not obligated to give proof but neither is anyone else obligated to believe his unsupported statements.
LOL! This guy is being pwned by the minute. Check the 6000+ birth certificate thread- lots of research being compared
(hint- start at the end and work back up)
Nice try Dave, no cigar.
Agreed, and the Washington Independent gets the US scoop on this story and conveniently was linked to on the Bomford website. Something smells. Somebody needs to find a long form Aussie BC from that town and year for comparison. If the Bomford BC is real then this was a set up to discredit Orly and be another Memogate and kill the birth certificate issue. If true, that is the story that needs to be exposed.
That's FAST "debunking", ( too good to be true.)
MARK COLVIN: An unsuspecting Adelaide public servant has found himself swept up in a conspiracy to oust the 44th President of the United States from office.
A movement known as the Birthers, which originated in California, is attempting to prove that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, therefore making him ineligible to be President.
In a bid to stake their claim they released what appeared to be a Kenyan birth certificate with Obama’s name on it.
Sceptics soon traced the bogus birth certificate and found it to be a forgery. The document turns out to have been based on the birth certificate of an Adelaide man called David Jeffrey Bomford.
Dina Rosendorff broke the news to him.
DINA ROSENDORFF: David Jeffrey Bomford’s language was a touch too colourful for radio when PM first contacted him with news his birth certificate had been used in a bid to oust Barack Obama.
Now that he’s come to terms with his unwitting involvement in an international conspiracy, he’s slightly more amused.
DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: (Laughs) That is ridiculous. Little old person in Adelaide, the President of the United States. I don’t know whether to laugh about it or not, be worried about it.
It is interesting someone from here being involved in a conspiracy - that is so funny.
DINA ROSENDORFF: It’s believed computer hackers found Mr Bomford’s birth certificate on his family’s genealogy website.
They used it as the basis for a forgery in an attempt to prove President Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii.
Only people born in the USA can be president.
The fake Kenyan birth document has been circulated by political opponents of Obama’s, called the Birthers, who are out to unseat him.
A growing online community who are against the Birthers quickly picked apart the bogus birth certificate and traced it back to about as far from Kenya as you can get - Thebarton Community Hospital at Mile End in South Australia and David Jeffrey Bomford.
As for the unsuspecting man at the centre of the political storm, he says he’s not a Birther - just a public service clerk from Adelaide.
DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I’m not involved in anything. To think that someone like me would be involved in an international conspiracy, considering I’m a conspiratist myself, I believe everything in all the old Roswell and all that rubbish. So this is quite funny.
DINA ROSENDORFF: Do you have anything against President Obama?
DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: No. I think he was a good choice for President. Apart from that, I didn’t at first think he was a good President but he’s proved himself alright so he changed my mind.
DINA ROSENDORFF: Looking over the documents in question Mr Bomford still can’t quite believe his eyes.
DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It’s little old me and my mum and everything else up there. Oh I definitely confirm that the birth certificate was mine. That was quite easy to see - my address, even the style of the birth certificate was an old South Australian one.
So it’s quite easy to identify that it’s mine.
DINA ROSENDORFF: And looking at the fake Kenyan birth certificate what do you make of it?
DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: It’s definitely a copy of my certificate. It’s so laughable it’s ridiculous.
DINA ROSENDORFF: Internet security expert Dr Asha Rao from RMIT University says although this case is quite funny, it’s also very dangerous.
ASHA RAO: It just shows you what is possible on the Internet; that ultimately digital documents come down to a string of zeros and ones. This is an extreme case. Of course they must have trawled around and found something they could use.
But it’s also, you know, you really don’t, if you put that up, that is the main document that shows your identity. So, identity theft starts with getting hold of that document. So it’s very dangerous to put stuff like that online.
DINA ROSENDORFF: Mr Bomford agrees with the experts and says he’ll definitely be removing it from the website.
DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I’m very surprised at how anyone would even find it on the net unless they were looking for something like that because it’s buried on a little known research site that’s particularly for my family.
So I was very, very surprised that anyone would even find it on the net. I’ll be certainly contacting my friend who runs that web and asking him to remove it.
DINA ROSENDORFF: But he reckons it’s a good story to tell his friends and family.
DAVID JEFFREY BOMFORD: I’m not particularly worried about it because no-one would honestly believe that anyone like me would be involved in it - just a grey-haired old guy sitting in a corner in quiet old Adelaide.
MARK COLVIN: Adelaide public servant David Jeffrey Bomford ending that report by Dina Rosendorff.

Excellent, Finally someone with a brain. I thought the same thing. How does some Australian (Dina Rosendorff) just happen to find this “HACKED” birth certificate. He would have also had to post his birth cert on his genealogy website. No one else could put it there legally !
Here is why the Australian birth certificate Theory is Bull
1) The “d” in the top left hand corner is taller in the Australian B.C. than the Kenyan B.C.
2) The “N” in the top left hand corner is a different font
3) The distance between the words District & Registry at the bottom are not the same !
3) South Australian birth certificates don’t look anything like a Kenyan one anyway !
4) The seal at the top of the page is cut off so you can’t see it very good. This is done on purpose. This is not the seal of the South Australia at that time and doesn’t match any known Australian coat of arms seal. Funny !
5) The creases on the two documents don’t line up at all !
5) Here is what a real Australian Birth Cert really looks like: see link below !

This wasn’t hard to figure out either !!!
