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.

Note the rest of the article is pretty good...

Obama could have been born on the planet Ybnzatu and raised eating human babies and none of that would matter now. The media and the left worship him, literally worship him.
This issue is a non starter.
“a horribly forgery,”.......
huh?
Were this an issue Hillary would be all over it.
Do you file some sort of papers when you decide to run for POTUS??? Pressure MUST be put on that entity to have the Obama campaign produce an original. I just don't get this whole story. It floats around but gets no legs. You would think that Hannity or Rush would go with it if there was something there...
Is this legit? If so,it could be big......
Fox News Channel,are you listening? They would be the only ones to pick it up,if anyone did.
It’s outrageous that an ordinary american citizen can not file a challenge to a candidate’s legal stature. These people work for us and if our representatives won;t step in, surely a citizen should be allowed to file suit.
I terribly fear that this is a red herring dragged out (can you say DemocRAT Dirty Tricks)just to get lots of conservatives chomping and running with it ala "Michelle Obama on tape calling caucasians 'whitey,'" only to be proved wrong.
So far non MSM have touched the story, that I know of...

Not if he indeed was born elsewhere, we still do after all have a Constitution.
Can soneone explain this statement?
“(his mother was not present in the US sufficiently long as an adult to pass American citizenship on to him automatically)”
Until this guy comes out in the public and personally endorses his findings (if his resume is accurate), this is going no where.
Exactly......there will be no mainstreat coverage of this, nor anything else from Barry’s past that detracts from his messiah image the media is projecting.
I am actually beginning to wonder if some members of the MSM aren’t on the take?
Never seen anything remotley like this. This is a media coronation.
I think it goes to capital hill when they tally the Electoral College votes. Challenges are apparently handled then.....but don't hold your breath...
Why can’t they file? What would be stopping them? Now it may be that it goes nowhere, but I don’t see why someone can’t file.
“Not if he indeed was born elsewhere, we still do after all have a Constitution.”
Only in theory. We have a Supreme Court that views it as a living document. We have the left that sees it as an antiquated flawed document, and those on the right who lack spine enough to enforce it.
No one of any importance will follow up on this.
It is also very interesting to me that this issue is completely ignored by the MSM. Just how bought and paid for is the media in this country? It is getting very George Orwellian these days.
