Barack Obama may be on a world tour surrounded by a fawning media, but Sunday an expert in electronic document forensics released a detailed report on the purported birth certificate -- actually a "Certification of Live Birth" or COLB -- claimed as genuine by his campaign. The expert concludes with 100% certainty that it is a crudely forged fake: "a horribly forgery," according to the analysis published on the popular right-wing Atlas Shrugs blog.
The purported Certification of Live Birth published by the Daily Kos left wing blog and claimed as genuine by the Obama campaign features a security border that differs dramatically from security borders on COLB documents before and after the one supposedly printed out for Obama in 2007.
The purported birth certificate was published by the left wing Daily Kos blog on June 12 in response to unconfirmed reports that Obama was not in fact born in the United States (Canada and Kenya were suggested as the possible locations of his actual birth). Since he would in that case not be a natural born US citizen (his mother was not present in the US sufficiently long as an adult to pass American citizenship on to him automatically), he would not be eligible to be president.

The latest examinaton of the purported documents is by far the most detailed and technically sophisticated to date.
Atlas Shrugs publisher Pamela Geller reports that the expert analyst, who goes by the screen name "Techdude", is "an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American College of Forensic Examiners, The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, International Information Systems Forensics Association -- the list goes on.

I agree. I’m tired of getting burned by the tinfoil crowd our cadre of “conservative” websites whose only goal is to increase hits and subscriptions (note: follow the money).
ok so what does this mean?
was he NOT born in the USA? Was he not born in Hawaii?
Is this a so what?
If the Obamanation is disqualified, Hitlery wins the Democrat nomination by default.
If that happens, she chews up McCain and spits him out.
Obama will be easier for us beat and the changing polls reflect that.
So far no MSM have touched the story, that I know of...
Does lack of coverage imply falsity of the issue, or simply more "in-the-tank" for the protected parties?
Yes BUT a federal lawsuit prohibiting a state from putting his name on the ballot because he is not a natural born citizen would force his campaign to spend time and money defending his right to be on the ballot.
My understanding is his mother was a US citizen, and that it doesn’t matter how long you are in the US if you are a US citizen. She could have just gotten back from a vacation to Moscow for all it mattered. I also recall that someone here on FR found his birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper, so I’m afraid all this B.C. fraud hype is much ado about nothing.
Indeed it is a fake, just like the man himself.
That is just pure garbage! If Obama gets screwed from the nomination, blacks and Obama worshipers will sit out the election and Hitlery can not win.
“I also recall that someone here on FR found his birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper”
I have read almost all of these threads and have never seen that.
I am getting so freakin’ tired of the blown up close-ups of the crap on the internet. It means nothing - it has been a proven forgery - no argument. A side-show would be a discussion on the forgery, but that is all that it is - a circus side show. It has NOTHING TO DO with the original 1961 (pre-laser-printer, pre-computer database) actual birth certificate as referenced in Barry’s own book. Where is THAT one?!?! It is the only one that matters.
Good Luck getting this out. AND WATCH YOUR BACK!!!!
Unfortunately you are probably correct. Now if this was John McCain the story would certainly get aired.

Well, there is this:
Why Senator John McCain Cannot Be President: Eleven Months and a Hundred Yards Short of Citizenship
Abstract:
Senator McCain was born in 1936 in the Canal Zone to U.S. citizen parents. The Canal Zone was territory controlled by the United States, but it was not incorporated into the Union. As requested by Senator McCain’s campaign, distinguished constitutional lawyers Laurence Tribe and Theodore Olson examined the law and issued a detailed opinion offering two reasons that Senator McCain was a natural born citizen. Neither is sound under current law. The Tribe-Olson Opinion suggests that the Canal Zone, then under exclusive U.S. jurisdiction, may have been covered by the Fourteenth Amendment’s grant of citizenship to “all persons born . . . in the United States.” However, in the Insular Cases, the Supreme Court held that “unincorporated territories” were not part of the United States for constitutional purposes. Accordingly, many decisions hold that persons born in unincorporated territories are not Fourteenth Amendment citizens. The Tribe-Olson Opinion also suggests that Senator McCain obtained citizenship by statute. However, the only statute in effect in 1936 did not cover the Canal Zone. Recognizing the gap, in 1937, Congress passed a citizenship law applicable only to the Canal Zone, granting Senator McCain citizenship, but eleven months too late for him to be a citizen at birth. Because Senator John McCain was not a citizen at birth, he is not a “natural born Citizen” and thus is not “eligible to the Office of President” under the Constitution.
Wow! That is very interesting.
Wait till the convention and she is waving the original around like she is swatting flies.
Rut roh :) Think about this people... You know Bill Clinton has people deep in the intelligence agencies who can do ALL of the legwork and fact finding in this matter.
>>>I wish this issue was more in the front page news in America than in Israel.
Seems the Mods don’t even consider it front page news.
