Is Barack Obama a United States citizen, and is he eligible to run for President of the United States, or did he present a forged government document to verify a citizenship he does not possess? For a few weeks now these questions have been swirling around the internet. The questions have become so prominent that Obama addressed the issue on his Fight the Smears website. Of course, in typical Obama fashion it is becoming clear that nothing is as it seems.
His site says the following:
The truth about Baracks birth certificate
Lie: Obama Is Not a Natural Born Citizen
Truth: Senator Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, after it became a state on August 21st, 1959. Obama became a citizen at birth under the first section of the 14th Amendment All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
There it is, the Certification of Live Birth. Case closed. Or is it? Two sources have raised what has proven to be very interesting, and troubling questions. Polarik, a blogger from Townhall.com, and the israelinsider, have both posted compelling evidence that can no longer be ignored, or brushed off as ridiculous.
Friday, June 20, 2008, Polarik, who claims to have extensive experience in the world of computers, printers, and typewriters, wrote given a set of printed letters, I can discern what kind of device made them. Printer output is quite different from the text created by a graphics program, and even if a document looks official, it may not be. He goes on to claim that anyone could have produced this document, and then proceeds to point out every flaw imaginable with this alleged certificate. Because his article is so detailed, and technical, I advise my readers to follow the link and read it for yourself. Have no fear. He has visuals to help you make sense of it.
Yesterday morning I read an article in the Israelinsider, written by Reuven Koret. Korets article eliminates any lingering question as to whether or not the Certificate of Live Birth is a forgery/fake.
Koret begins his article by linking to Photobucket, an image gathering website, where millions upload images to share with others, or post in various places such as websites, etc. It shows variations of the same Certificate of Live Birth presented by the Obama camp. One has Obamas birthplace listed as Antarctica, while another shows one issued by the government of North Korea. This certainly lends credibility to Polariks argument that the Certificate of Live Birth was created by some sort of computer program, that anyone can use.
According to Koret, Janice Okubo, Director of Communications of the State of Hawaii Department of Health made clear that no birth certification, or certification of live birth is transmitted electronically, and that all certificates of live birth contain an embossed seal and registrars signature on the back of the document.
He then compares the 1961 Certification of Live Birth, presented as authentic on the Obama website, to one certifying the Hawaiian birth of a Patricia Decosta. The similarities and differences are quite noticeable.
Both contain a green bamboo background, though one is noticeably darker. Both contain borders that are noticeably different. Obamas is green, and Decostas is black. Polarik did a fabulous job of pointing out the obvious flaws on the border of Obamas alleged certificate.
The most compelling and disturbing items of note are the lack of an embossed seal and the registrars signature, on the copy being presented by Obama. Decostas seal, even faded with time is quite prominent, as is the registrars signature that bleeds through to the front of the document. The lack of these two items makes it clear that the copy presented by Obama is in fact a fake.
This raises many more questions and concerns. Why would Obama knowingly lie, and present a forged government document as official? Why does Obama refuse to present his real birth certificate, for inspection the actual piece of paper that can be handled by reporters? Is Barack Obama a citizen of the United States? Is he eligible for the highest office of this great nation? Lastly, what laws has Obama and his camp broken by knowingly presenting a forged government document?
I made the same mistake. We have to consider 1961 law, not current law.
The Clintons don't quit...
Reminds of the highly touted Michelle Obama tape. A lot of smoke and no proof.
I think that if we’re going to beat this guy, we’ve got to talk about his platform, which is terrible.
This kind of toing and froing is a waste of time.
Yep, I have a yellow birth cert and a white one than, in no way resemble each other, except the D.O.B., my name, and moms name. One has a bunch of details (weight, doctor, father, etc), the other just the essentials.
######
The one with the doctor’s name, place of birth, weight, whether a twin, etc are all on “Birth Certificates”. The other form you cite is a form that verifies that the first one exists in whatever archives your state or county maintains.
That is the point that is being missed by so many people hoping for a scandal.
One of the other threads had a report that the State of Hawaii declared Obama’s posted birth certificate a fake.
Has this been confirmed?
I'm happy to see FReerepublic and FReepers keeping our rep of exposing lies and fraud ;)
Point Nr. 3...Oops. That’s game, set, and match for me. The correct racial identifier most likely found on offcial documents such as driver licenses and birth certificates in 1961 would have been “Negro.”
If it is all hype, I agree with you, we have to attack his policies and voting record.
Clinton Inc. may surprise us yet...expect any bombshell to come out in August.Didn't Hillary just 'suspend' her campaign rather than end it? If so, that gives her plenty of time off the radar to put 'Plan X' into play.
But we all know leftists in the media & elsewhere don't follow the law.
Amen, sister! :)
Of course, darling...she’s just sharpening her claws.
Except it is the wrong story you are yammering about. The STORY is he has posted this forgery on his official Fight the Smears website as proof.
I still shake my head when I think how much we 'need' Hillary to pull this one out...
Sharpening her claws...thats our Hill!

We are still in June last time I checked . . . .
I believe the Super D’s can change their mind at the last minute. I am rooting for her to knock Barry off his throne. I know, I know...never in my wildest dreams. ;)
