Obama’s Birth Certificate a Fake?

Several weeks ago there were rumors floating around the Barack Obama was not born in the United States, and therefore not a natural born citizen. In an effort to dispel the rumors, left wing blogger Kos obtained a copy of Obama’s “Certification of Live Birth”, later posted on Obama’s Fight The Smears website, and declared the rumors “debunked”. Unfortunately for Obama, the release of this certification raised more questions than it answered.

Polarik at Townhall raised some of these issues last week, including:

  1. Use of a second generation reproduction of the seal of the State of Hawaii at the top
  2. Blacking out of the Certificate number in an attempt to prevent it from being traced
  3. Absence of any official signature or seal which typically appear on such documents
  4. Crudely arranged borders inconsistent with a professionally produced official document
  5. The use of an identical typeface for all text items on the page.

I had neglted to write about this at the time because I generally try and avoid being involved in rumor spreading whenever possible. After further research however, it appears that Polarik has proven rumors of this being a falsified document may actually be true. He has obtained a certified Certificate of Live Birth from the State of Hawaii and compared it to the one the Obama campaign released, and it does indeed appear that Obama’s was a fake.

The most noticable difference between the two documents is also the most important, and that is the absence of the embossed seal. Israel Insider recently spoke with Janice Okubo, Director of Communications of the State of Hawaii Department of Health who stated “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.”

The question over Obama’s place of brith is an important one, because if the rumors of him being born overseas are true, he would not be elligible to hold the office of the Presidency.

  1. Senator Obama is NOT a Dirty Muslim!

    “What you won’t hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge,” says Mr. Obama, while denouncing statements of him being a Muslim as a smear. Why is the presidential candidate who claims to be religiously inclusive is treating the word “Muslim” as an insult? Apparently, it is OK for Mr. Obama to be associated with terrorists like William Ayers or racists like Jeremiah Wright, but God forbid somebody would call him a Muslim! No, he won’t stand for that kind of smear! We admit that most terrorists are Muslims, but most Muslims are not terrorists and the statement on Mr. Obama’s website is insulting to hundreds of millions of people.

    How could a man who discards his family heritage in favor of political expediency be even considered for presidency of the United States? Where are all the so-called “Islamic civil rights groups” like CAIR, MPAC, ISNA, MAS, etc. who are quick to defend every Islamic terrorist, but are silent when Muslims in general are being denigrated? Would Mr. Obama have the same reaction if someone claimed that he was raised as a Jew? We sincerely doubt that.

    “In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Barack Obama, “The Audacity of Hope”, page 261.

    Well, the political winds did shift in an ugly direction. Is equating “Muslim” with “smear” Obama’s idea of “stand[ing] with [Muslims]?

    Muslims Against Sharia demand immediate removal of “SMEAR: Barack Obama is a Muslim” statement from the official Barack Obama’s website as well as an apology for giving the word “Muslim” a negative connotation.

    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.

  3. This is one of the funnier smears in recent memory. First, Obama’s birth certificate is not only vaild, but all five of the points raised in the post are false. As it turns out, the “analyst” who wrote an article about the certificate being photoshopped has now been outed as providing fake credentials, as well as writing a flat-out incorrect analysis that REAL digital analysts have scoffed at. “Techdude,” as he calls himself, provided his experience, which happened to be a copy and pasted list taken from an esteemed analyst who has laughed at the inaccuracies of Techdude’s research.

    To make matters even funnier, John McCain WASN’T born in the US! He was born in Panama! The “Panama Zone” to be exact. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Even from republicans, this is lower than low.

  4. Sam,
    I hate to tell ya, but McCain’s parents were both Americans, so he could have been born on another planet and still be American… get your facts straight before you diss 100 million Republicans.

  5. For everyone’s information, there are two birth certificates which register birth.

    First there is one that shows, the attending doctor, the time of birth, what hospital the individual was born at, names and addresses AND OCCUPATION of the parents.

    Then there is the certificate that most people have. You can request the “long” certificate which gives all that information or you can get the “short” certificate which is similar to the one obama’s campaign faked.

    Wouldn’t it be easy for this guy to just show the legal certified birth certificate with the seal and get it over with. There is absolutely positively something fishy in this birth certificate business, or obama would show it.

    Since there is a lawsuit in Philadelphia and he HAS to show a legal certified birth certificate with a seal, the documents submitted for his marriage license, his passport, his driver’s license and also his Columbia College transcripts on September 24th we will find out for sure if he has a birth certificate, and not a certificate of live birth…

  6. One thing all of you should think about. In 1961 in the birth certificate it would say Negro or Mulato.. Not African.

  7. Im with every1 about the truth n i beleive if he has nothing 2 hide jus show us the real 1 n if he is illegal kick his azz back 2 africa

  8. No matter how many times the experts point out the fakes in obama’s attempt to post this photoshopped certificate there will be zonked out zombies who follow him to dig in and say it is true.

    There is one way…..obama can stop the conterversary…..show the vault birth certificate. Anybody and I mean anybody born anywhere, could go to Hawaii and ask for a live certificate of birth….That doesn’t mean anything. AND OBAMA KNOWS IT, THAT’S WHY HE CAN’T SHOW A VAULT BIRTH CERTIFICATE, IT DOESN’T EXIST.

  9. show proof of your birth cirtificate,the original real one if you have one?

  10. No matter how many times and how many verified times it has been shown the obama supporters still have their head in the sand and will never ever admit it was faked. And they don’t care that the obama administration is starting, before he even is sworn to shred the Constitution. They dissed bush, and rightly so for doing the same thing. BUT they think the one is entitled. And by the way to add to the mix, the PLACE where McCain was born, was considered American soil, not so Kenya. THAT at the time was British soil.

  11. hey david ill tell u this no i dont have my original but all it took was 20 dollars and a phone call 1 week later my cerified copy was in my hands and believe me if anyone wnts to hide things its me

  12. To all of the Obamabots everywhere,sometimes the truth hurts, the birth certificate is a fake,”PERIOD”,end of story. Obama is only trying to ride it out until Jan 20,then we will have to deal with the “Civilian Defense Force” aka, Schutzstaffel. A cold chill goes up my spine everytime I here that word,but it seems like 1933 NAZI Germany all over again, say it could not happen here, thats exactly what the Germans said. Seig Heil

  13. ive been asked did i vote i tell them no my reason for not voting is 1 vote would not have made a difference i figure if i could have voted 20 or 30 times like a lot of the blacks who somehow came out the wood work i might have made a difference and the oher thing im thinking is if for some reason obama isnt let in office there wil probley be race riots

  14. John, you are confusing Barack Obama with George Bush.

  15. The scary thing is that the US Supreme Court won’t hear this issue after a prominent Democrat filed a lawsuit. If the Supreme Court can put aside the US Constitution for Obama what is next for us?
