FactCheck was never in possession of the COLB. They went to Obama's Chicago campaign HQ to photograph it, and posted the photos of it on August 21 -- the same day, I believe, that Berg filed his original lawsuit in Philadephia.
A question I find more interesting is why Berg never challenged Obama to let him send a credentialed expert to examine the COLB that FactCheck photographed. Berg claimed from the beginning that the image posted at KOS was a forgery, so when FactCheck posted photographs, and reported that the document was in Chicago, why didn't Berg ask to check it out?
The nature of the question stays the same. Has any reporter seen the Obama COLB in person before or after "FactCheck".org posted it online no matter where the dubious COLB is located? And no, DailyKommie.com (DailyKOS) doesn't count.
Answer: no reporter has seen it in person.
Obama should have left his COLB with "factcheck". The thing is only worth 10 dollars. Obama can order reams of COLBs if he wants at that cheap price and have them out like candy.
