Network misrepresents microfilm birth record as Obama's
On the heels of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse’s investigative trip to Hawaii, CNN pulled out old material – including microfilm misrepresented as Barack Obama’s birth certificate – to run a report called “Busting the Birther Conspiracy Theory.”
In the segment, broadcast May 30, reporter Gary Tuchman declared his intention to refute conclusively the contention Obama’s birth certificate is fraudulent.
Some careful observers, however, objected that the Tuchman report was a rebroadcast of material that CNN originally broadcast last year and possibly even earlier.
Moreover, CNN showed a microfilm copy of a birth certificate as if it were Obama’s original 1961 record. But it turned out to be someone else’s birth certificate.
At approximately the 1:22 mark of the segment, CNN displayed a microfilm copy of what viewers were led to believe was Obama’s birth certificate.
Close examination of a screen capture as seen in Exhibit 1 makes clear that the document is not Obama’s.
As seen in Exhibit 2, when the microfilm birth certificate is enlarged, the number appears to end with the digits “000,” while the computer-generated long-form birth certificate displayed on the White House website on April 27, 2011, bears the number “10641.”

Can’t believe they would cover for Obama. Shocking, very shocking!
I’m impressed that CNN would even give Certifigate the time of day.
Natuurally they will lie and obstruct the truth.
But for them to report on it shows - as we all know - that there is validity and substance behind our claims.
Birtherism is not - and never will be - a dead issue.
CNN must be worried about something. This is their idea of a preemptive strike. The fact that it’s pure BS is of no consequence to them.
This should be reported to all! Drudge Report etc... Fox News, Hot Air... The Blaze...
Sadly, I hear nothing but crickets chirping.

It's called flailing!
And that’s the best quality they could come up with?
Hell, I just blew that up on 60” screen and can’t read it.
Looks like CNN is no better than Dan Rather's CBS. If any FReeper still thinks that the president is eligible, then they really have a long way to go to become smart and conscientious citizens that the United States needs to survive as a free country.
This is really fascinating. If it was any other candidate the left wing media would sit back and watch or dig themselves. If it was suspected that any other candidate was not born here, not one network would go out of it’s way to prove that he was. But with obama......

That's the best quality they could come up with and still insure nobody could actually read it.
No wonder nodody watches CNN. The commie nutjobs at MSNBC get more viewers than the commie nutjobs at CNN.
Sheriff Joe is going to make fools of the MSM for not vetting their boy.
Only the U.S. Federal Government can determine who is a U.S. Citizen and who is not. The U.S. Constitution provides for the Legislative Branch to articulate a uniform Naturalization process for U.S.Citizenship.
Biographical data on U.S. Citizens held by the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service supercedes biographical data held by the various states.
Obama was issued a Certificate of Naturalization in 1983. He holds all the rights and privileges of a U.S. Citizen, except he is ineligible for POTUS or VP.
The Bush Administration gave Sheriff Arpaio access to the files of Permanent Resident Aliens. In Dec. of 2011, Obama cancelled Sheriff Arpaio’s access to this data. Obama was a Permanent Resident Alien (Green Card Holder) from the age of 10 to the age of 22. He naturalized in 1983.

What you say sounds very plausible. Have you any source, documentation, or back-up for these statements?
I think that the people that are most pissed about this are the old KGB agents. If they had thought of bringing one of their agents here in the late 40’s or early 50’s to give birth to a child they could have had mole to take over the country. Have the kid here keep him around for a year or so and then the MSM, the Left and even many Freepers would say that it was ok, for him to be President. They must be turning over in their graves.
Do you count yourself among that group of FReepers?
