Shot 1
Shot 2
New Issue
Shot 1 - is the page with his picture. They blur out the date of issue and the date of expiration. Why do that ? It is obvious his presidential passport was issued shortly after his taking office. There is no need to redact that info.
Shot 2. You will notice a few differences between this and shot 1.
1), Look at the photo. The top of his head is cut off. They may try to explain that away with light bouncing off the hologram. However, it would not make a clean line and mine has the same hologram overlapping my head. No matter what angle of light I use, you can still see the top of my head through the hologram. Plus you see them bending the passport at various angles and the hairline remains the same. Not to mention, they do not look like the same photos.
2) Right at the top where it says United States of America in green, if you look right below it, you will see the word STATE. That is not on the Shot 1 photo. What is in that position is ( what is on mine also ) Type, Code, and Passport number
On closer examination of Shot2, it looks like that is a piece of paper attached by some tape ( the green rectangle at the top - typical office tape used on file folders ). They are covering up the name and info section on this persons passport. Why do that when you supposedly just showed that info a few seconds before. Plus from the video, they imply that he opens the passport to show the front page, then flips through it to the stamp page ( which there was no need to since it is right next to the photo page when he shows it ). When did he have time to put the taped page on ? One other thing doesn't ring true about the second passport photo. The page they are showing above his photo has stamps on it. On passports, the page above the photo is the page where the holder of the passport signs his name ( see new issue). Where did that page go ? You can also see it is labeled page 7. What happened to pages 1 through 6 ? You can't just remove them.Also you can't fold them under the other pages without folding the photo page as well. If you look closely at the video ( at 1:50 ) you can see the stamp page move a bit ( look at the lower left corner and follow the "straight line" of the fold of the page. The distance between that and the United States of America on the photo page shrinks and it looks like the lower left corner moves) . It is not attached to the passport.The only thing that explains how you can show a stamp entry page next to the photo page is that they are holding the stamp page of one passport in front of the signature page of another passport. In other words THAT STAMP PAGE DOES NOT BELONG TO THAT PASSPORT . If you have access to a viewer where you can slow the speed down, it is easier to see.
One other thing about that video. Notice it is taped in three separate sessions. The first is the closeup. The second showing the stamp page. The third showing the last page. THEY NEVER SHOW THE LOGICAL FLOW FROM ONE SECTION TO THE OTHER.A normal person would have taped it in one continuous flow- showing the photo page- flipping to the stamp page and then to the last page. Going from the stamp page to the last page would have been easy. Just flip to the end But they couldn't do that. If they flipped to the end it would have shown that the stamp page was not part of the passport they were showing.
Right makes no sense.
And the visa stamps in shot 2 on page seven appears to be adjacent to the inside cover page where Obama's picture and pertinent personal info is written. The adjacent page should be page 6.
Bump for later review....
They pulled a little "bait and switch" with the passport.

Everything these stogies show is so clumsy that Dan Blather and Mary Mapes’ Memogate now looks like professionals!!!
