Will Release Of Obama's Purported Birth Certificate Give Rise To New "Certer" Movement?

This morning’s White House release of President Barack Obama’s long form birth certificate will, of course, do little to derail the “birther” movement, which will now analyze the document with the kind of verve previously directed toward those Texas Air National Guard memos faxed to CBS from that Kinko’s in Abilene.

So here’s a few nutty points about the birth certificate sure to be seized upon by the nonbelievers:

• If the original document was in a bound volume (as reflected by the curvature of the left hand side of the certificate), how can the green patterned background of the document's safety paper be so seamless?

• Why, if Obama was born on August 4, 1961, was the “Date Accepted by Local Reg.” four days later on August 8, 1961?

• What is the significance of the smudges in the box containing the name of the reported attendant?

• David A. Sinclair, the M.D. who purportedly signed the document, died nearly eight years ago at age 81. So he is conveniently unavailable to answer questions about Obama’s reported birth.

• In the “This Birth” box there are two mysterious Xs above “Twin” and “Triplet.” Is there a sibling or two unaccounted for?

• What is the significance of the mysterious numbers, seen vertically, on the document’s right side?

• Finally, the “Signature of Local Registrar” in box 21 may be a desperate attempt at establishing the document’s Hawaiian authenticity. Note to forgers: It is spelled “Ukulele.”

I'm just going with the flow brother. I thought saying crazy things was the thing to do for this article. And I'm at work on a conference call I shouldn't be on so I have some time to waste here. I want to upset you. Working?
Girlnextdoor! No, no! WE want Working Liberal to stay here and chat..maybe he / she will learn something! :) Obviously, they are curious otherwise they wouldn't be here. :) or just flat out craving truth and knowledge. One or the other.
I cant handle the truth.
Sure you can..otherwise you wouldn't be here! :) Have a great day, Working Liberal...and, hey, get back to work... :)
Good advise. You have a good one too brother!
Obama is a dual citizen AT BEST, thus, Constitutionally DISQUALIFIED.
No. At birth Obama was NOT a US citizen. His father maintained a DOMICILE in Kenya. Under both British and US laws at the time, any baby so born would be 100% British Subject, not an American citizen, and certainly not a natural born citizen. But I do agree... he IS Constitutionally DISQUALIFIED for POTUS and is an illegal usurper.
The birth certificate is real. Notice the mother's age when Barack was born is 18 years old. That means that he is not a "natural born citizen" and has never been the President of the USA! That is why he didn't want anyone to see it. What's more since he was not a "natural born citizen" he would have had to proclaim his US citizenship when he was 21 to retain it. His college records show that he claimed that he was not a US citizen so that he could attend college on a foreign natural schollarship. Thank goodness we don't have to repeal Obama Care. It never happened!
John, his mother's age only becomes an issue if he were born outside the US. To confer her citizenship, she had to be a US citizen who had lived in the United States for five years after turning 14; mathematically, an 18-year-old cannot meet that standard. (That requirement has been changed for mothers, but it's still the standard for fathers to confer citizenship.) However, if Obama were born WITHIN the boundaries of the United States to an American mother, then it doesn't matter what age she was (or, for that matter, what citizenship his father carried.) (Incidentally, under the current interpretations of the law, it wouldn't matter what citizenship either parent carried as long as he were born inside the US, which is what leads to the problems of "anchor babies.") So: To be a natural-born citizen, you must be a US citizen at the time of your birth. In 1961, to be born a US citizen, you had to be 1) born within the boundaries of the country, or 2) have at least ONE parent who was (a) a US citizen, AND (b) had lived in the US for five years after turning 14. His father was Kenyan, so he's disqualified by 2a. His mother was only 18, so she''s disqualified by 2b. Therefore, neither of his parents could confer US citizenship upon him. The only question remaining is whether she gave birth physically in the United States, so that he could qualify under option 1. Personally, I think he really was born in Hawaii, and is just baiting everyone along, to distract from other questions, such as whether or not he LIED on his admissions papers to get financial aid as a foreign student.
Obvious forgery. Look at the 41 at the top right of document. It has obviously been altered.
