More and more people are sensing strongly that the Bomford certificate is a fake designed to further twist everything.
I think the ‘story’ about someone searching hours and hours and finding this amazing thumbnail sounds a little too lucky.
There are some talented digital expert designers that hang at DU. Amazing what the new graphics software allows you to create.
Jury still slightly out on the Kenyan one. I’m leaning about 85% fake.
Here is a Richard Bomford who is a socialist(Fabian) from England??

Not to me. In fact, I think the 'story' that an amazing Kenyan birth certificate for Obama just miraculously appeared out of the blue sounded a little too lucky. ;-)
There's no mystery about the Australian BC to me. To figure out if any alleged Obama BC is authentic, you first have to rule out it's not a fake and ask yourself how you'd go about making a reasonably passable forgery yourself. The first order of business would be to check out google images for suitable templates the forger might have used, which evidently is where the person who scored the lookalike found it. In fact, I had considered doing the same thing - I just didn't have a big enough block of spare time (or the patience) to start an extended image search.
People here are trying way too hard to believe all the wrong people. All of a sudden Ann Coulter and National Review are 'RINOS' around here (good grief, even James Taranto now!) just because they reject all this crazy BC nonsense peddled by this never-ending parade of oddballs, and yet birthers put completely trusting stock in all these perfect strangers coming out of nowhere who are mysteriously conjuring up all these iffy documents of unknown provenance merely because the alleged 'evidence' fits their predetermined conclusion.
It should be the other way around. Process all the evidence with extreme caution & boundless skepticism first & then reach a conclusion. Treat everything you hear as a potential hoax; it's a lot harder to get caught in them that way.
