That birth certificate again

Posted on June 26, 2008

For some time now Just One Minute’s commenter jmh, Polarik at Townhall and others have examined the “birth certificate” for Obama published on the Daily Kos site as well as the site Obama has established to respond to the “smears” against him. The documents are not identical and seem obviously phony. Israeli Insider confirms their suspicions:

It is now a certainty that the “birth certificate” claimed by the Barack Obama campaign as authentic is a photoshopped fake…..

Some of these oddities surfaced in Israel Insider’s previous article on the subject, but new comparative documentary evidence presented below, and official verification obtained by Israel Insider from a senior Hawaiian official, provides the strongest confirmation yet….

Janice Okubo, Director of Communications of the State of Hawaii Department of Health, told Israel Insider: “At this time there are no circumstances in which the State of Hawaii Department of Health would issue a birth certification or certification of live birth only electronically.” And, she added, “In the State of Hawaii all certified copies of certificates of live birth have the embossed seal and registrar signature on the back of the document.”

Why would Obama’s anti-smear site itself rely on a phoney birth certificate? I can’t imagine . Some have suggested it’s to hide the fact that he was not a “natural born” U.S. citizen and is, therefore, ineligible to run. Maybe.

    Forget the Birth Certificate.
    I spoke to Ms. Okubo late Wednesday afternoon, and she said she had seen the version of Obama’s certificate of live birth posted on the sites. While her office cannot verify the information on a form without the permission of the certificate holder (Obama), she said “the form is exactly the same” and it has “all the components of a birth certificate” record issued by the state. In other words, she sees no reason to think the version posted on Obama’s web site and Daily Kos is not genuine.

    The very idea that Barack Obama is not a US Citizen is completely ridiculous. Do you honestly believe that the DNC is dumb enough to put millions of dollars behind a non US citizen? Or do you believe that the readers of this tripe are dumb enough to believe you?

    If this is all you can think to post, then I suggest that you pack it in now. You’re done.

    Well, it is easy enough to catch “catchme”:

    “I spoke to Ms. Okubo late Wednesday afternoon, and she said she had seen the version of Obama’s certificate of live birth posted on the sites.

    But — we all now know that “The documents are not identical…”

    Busted!

    Can’t even award a “nice try” on that one!

    Well, they are dumb enough to do things like nominate Michael Dukakis and legitimize fringe characters like Al Sharpton.

    “Do you honestly believe that the DNC is dumb enough to put millions of dollars behind a non US citizen?”

    Cough.

    Hey, I’m not saying Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen - he’s an idiot. I don’t think this should be an issue, if he is a natural-born citizen. The thing is, how easy would it be to make this problem go away? Seems simple enough. Pull out the real birth certificate and be done with it.
