"Certificate" an obvious fake!

Obama was born in Honolulu. This is a matter of public record--notice how even the McCain campaign isn't willing to make a claim so obviously false as "the certificate is forged". Give this tired smear a rest. The ironic part is that McCain is the one of the two who wasn't born in the US--he was born in Panama.

Why does it matter? He was born in 1961 in Hawaii, Hawaii became a state in 1959. So he's a natural born citizen. I don't see why his birth certificate (or your opinion of what it should look like) even matters. Additionally, information on birth certificates changes from state to state. (As well as what's on the certificate.) But once again, since he was born in Hawaii in 1961 it doesn't matter because Hawaii was already a state.

The followers of the 'Obamanation' claim it is a 'certification' of the Obamanation's birth. That's sort of a 'copy'. However, note the sequential certification number is blacked out? That would allow someone to check the orginal. Can't have that, now, can we?

Even if the Obama camp produced a real birth certificate it could still be a forged documents. It is the Democrat party we are talking about here! I love the Obamoronics they would rather believe a lie than to believe the truth. That website that is suppose to be an anti-smear website is actually a smear website. Look at how the website blatantly lies about Rush Limbaugh. Folk Rush did not create the Whity rumor, Bob Buckle a Democrat created the rumor.

Hello Sir Rodney, The release of this copy does not satisfy my curiosity either. To be fair, the certificate does appear exactly as a 'copy' of a birth certificate would appear, except for the obvious omissions of a raised seal stamp, and a visible certificate number. As I explained in another recent discussion about the birth certificate: Hubby & I requested official copies of our birth certificates for our passports. We also requested originals from our respective families. We ended up getting both. We were both born in the 1960s, a similar time frame to Obama. There is a vast difference between the way the actual hospital birth certificate appears, and the appearance of an official copy of a birth certificate. If Obama cannot produce the original hospital or birth certificate, then he MUST produce a copy that does not have the certification number blacked out. That number represents the only means to confirm the authenticity of the certificate. Without that certificate number, there is no way to prove that this birth certificate was not fabricated (created) on Nov 6 2007 -- which is the date-stamp of the date that the 'copy' was produced. Let us not forget that beurocratic officials have a long history of corruption or 'bribe-ability' in this country, as well across the globe. We've seen numerous state Motor Vehicle departments tangled up in criminal fraud -- for producing fake IDs for illegal immigrants. We've seen beurocratic officials with the Border Patrol tangled up in criminal proceedings for bribe-ability in diverting illegal aliens back to LA, instead of deportation facilities. As such, it would be naive to believe that someone at the Honolulu County Clerks Office could not have been bribed to create a birth certificate -- after the fact. Obama must re-release the certificate with the certificate number visible to the blogging public. Otherwise, I fully support whatever 'dogging' effort will likely ensue to get to the bottom of this issue! There is simply no viable reason to have witheld that certificate number, unless Obama's team believed there was something to conceal from the public!!! As such, Obama is himself responsible for the firestorm that has occurred as a result of this issue. SHAME ON YOU OBAMA, FOR NOT BEING FORTHCOMING AND HONEST!!!

Most people will not look any further than this though. They see an image and are content to say it is a fact. There are any number of sources to get blank documents that can be made to look official... as you said, their is no signature, nor a registration number... which makes the whole thing meaningless.

This election has really made me see the American public in a new light. I had no idea that we had so many people who hate the Republicans so much that they would blind themselves to the person Obama is. They can be shown anything that puts Obama in a positive light, and they buy it. Most cannot even speak/write about him without blubbering over themselves. They are so defensive. They don't know this man. There is so much we don't know. Whatever he says they believe. And since his wife thinks Americans are so mean and nasty maybe we should kindly give them them their own state and they can take their followers with them.

I have said this before but it bears repeating. I think I will expand upon past statements though. I would never, ever place on a public forum my original birth certificate without blacking out the certificate number. That number can be used for nefarious purpose. Even were I running for public office I would black this out. I would also not publish my passport without blacking out the passport number. I would also not publish my drivers licsense without blacking out the number. I would also never publish my social security number. All of the above are forms of personal identification. They can be used to steal identification. They can be used to create new identities. They should never be published in public forums. For anyone who belives that Obama has not provided the appropriate proofs of his right to serve as a Senator of the United States or as President of the United States to the appropriate security officials, show your proof of this oversight. I don't believe that this is the truth but would be happy to examine your "proof" of these rumors for their veracity. Now to another statement regarding Birth Certificates and their appearance. I have two of them, both certified. One of them is has my adopted mother and fathers names on them. It was issued a year and three days after my actual birth when my adoption became finalized. It is not signed by a doctor it is signed by a judge. It has my real birth date on it. It has my adopted parents names on it. It has the name of the hospital I was born in on it. It has the real time of birth on it. If I did not know that I was adopted there is no way I would have known that this was not my real birth certificate or that the sequence number was off. My other birth certificate was sealed when my adoption was finalized. It says "Baby Girl" and my biological mothers last name. It lists my biological mother and my biological father. It lists my race differently than my race is listed on my other birth certificate. It is not signed except by an attending nurse. It lists me as illegitimate. It has a different serial number obviously. Of course the date, time, and hospital are all listed. I received this one when I had the files opened in my twenties. Needless to say it was interesting to compare the two. There is some question as to whether Obama's parents were legally married. So what. If you read his birth certificate, it seems they were likely not married. Again, I say so what. The fact is that his mother was an American citizen that makes him an American Citizen. Doesn't really matter where he was born, he is an American. He spent most of of his life in America, all but 4 or 5 years in fact; he is American. He spent most of his life in Christian schools. Get over all the rumor mongering and BS. Don't like his politics? Fine attack his positions. Have a debate on the relevant issues of the day. Stop the nonesense about his religion and whether he is Arab or Black or White...who really cares it isn't relevant.

If the certicate is a fake, nothing would be blacked out. It would be custom-made to exclude what has been blacked-out.
