I believe it is there also... it is not coming through as strong as the decosta cert but a negative image of the Dailykos Obama cert is picking up something just under the Jun 6 2007 date along the top of the border. The yellow green spots are pulling out darker areas that are bleeding through from the back of the cert. to the front of the cert.


BTW... I am not that blogger or the person who created the bloggers images. I just know how to do exactly what they did.

I agree with the person who said this is a set up by the Obama Camp. The cert is real and there is nothing that points to it being a fake. It is time to move on!
Maybe 2 years after the 2005 decosta cert the darn embossing machine plate is wore out or maybe the person who uses the embossing machine has carpel tunnel syndrome from embossing certs all the time :-)

Ok, let's assume that Obama’s doc is real. All other valid certificates say “Date Accepted by State Registrar”. Obama’s says “Date Filed by Registrar”. That must be explained.

Good point. I've seen more than one newly-issued cert (genealogy) where you could barely make out the embossed seal with the naked eye, and so it literally disappears on a scanned copy.

Is this some sort of watermark?

How about the simple fact that it hasn't been folded?
