Government warns even real birth certificates aren't proof
WorldNetDaily ^ | SEPTEMBER 07, 2009 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 09/07/2009 4:31:59 PM PDT by RobinMasters

A report from the Office of the Inspector General from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services concluded years before the dispute erupted over President Obama's birth certificate and his eligibility to be president such documents "may … not be the best proof of identity."

The report compiled in 2000 by Inspector General June Gibbs Brown deals primarily with using birth certificates to establish identity, not necessarily birth location as is the issue with Obama's document.

But the report raises a number of alarms about the use of the documents.

"It was the consensus of those we interviewed that a number of state practices create opportunities for fraud. Those practices include the following: delayed, amended, and midwife birth registrations that are based on affidavits of personal knowledge, include no documentary evidence, and are not often marked or overlaid accordingly; delays in matching death and birth records can make the identities of many deceased persons easy to assume between the time the person dies and the time the death and birth records are matched; questionable physical security situations that create opportunities for fraud; and limited oversight of local issuing entities by state vital records offices," the report said.

WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

More smoke and mirrors.

Methinks they are more worried than ever before.

Of COURSE a birth certificate is not “proof of identity!”

If I were to misplace mine and someone else found it, would that make him me???

So, I suppose all Barry had to do was produce his SS# and Drivers License and he was good to go, huh? =.=

I don't know about a BC, but if you were careless with your electricity bill it might be good enough for someone to claim your identity!

Preparing for the CYA of zer0. The case in California may have some teeth in it. If so, the gubment is making sure that zer0 is covered and that he remains in the White House. No cover is too much for the obamessiah.

Mine has my foot prints on it, with some distinctive features that are still present today. It’s as accurate as dental records.

Then the Obama COLB that DailyKos, "Factcheck".org, and Fight the Smears published online was not proof of Obama's identity.

In the end, all that matters is what the military brass think. - We know that the courts have no spine.

Geez, if he hadn’t PO’d the CIA, they could have manufactured a decent BC for him, by now.

As it stands, he’s ineligible until he proves his origin, IMO.

Good point, Redbob.

There are millions of illegal invaders out there who would love to get a hold of your birth certificate.

So the story that he is NOT a citizen is as valid as the fable that he is. Right?

The first exhinit Barry tried to post on the Internet to claim he was born in Hawaii in 1961 was a clear fraud, lacking a raised seal on the exhibit. Later versions posted in repetition by Factcheck.org and Daily Kos, as well as by Barry at his ‘fightthesmeaqrs website added the rasied seal. Even later, Factcheck was given an exhibit to handle which appeared genuine. Whether the last exhibit was genuine or not, the first exhibits Barry tried to use for his bonefides were fraudulent exhibits. Interesting how Barry’s sycophnats want to ignore the fraudulent start of this lying affirmative action fraud’s candidacy.
