PROVEN: Barack Obama Presented Forged Certificate of Live Birth
BY VIRGINIA H. SHANAHAN
Is Barack Obama a United States citizen, and is he eligible to run for President of the United States, or did he present a forged government document to verify a citizenship he does not possess? For a few weeks now these questions have been swirling around the internet. The questions have become so prominent that Obama addressed the issue on his “Fight the Smears” website. Of course, in typical Obama fashion it is becoming clear that nothing is as it seems.
His site says the following:
The truth about Barack’s birth certificate
Lie:
Obama Is Not a Natural Born Citizen
Truth:
Senator Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961, after it became a state on August 21st, 1959. Obama became a citizen at birth under the first section of the 14th Amendment
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
There it is, the Certification of Live Birth. Case closed. Or is it? Two sources have raised what has proven to be very interesting, and troubling questions. Polarik, a blogger from Townhall.com, and the israelinsider, have both posted compelling evidence that can no longer be ignored, or brushed off as ridiculous.
Friday, June 20, 2008, Polarik, who claims to have extensive experience in the world of computers, printers, and typewriters, wrote “given a set of printed letters, I can discern what kind of device made them. Printer output is quite different from the text created by a graphics program, and even if a document looks “official,” it may not be.” He goes on to claim that anyone could have produced this document, and then proceeds to point out every flaw imaginable with this alleged certificate. Because his article is so detailed, and technical, I advise my readers to follow the link and read it for yourself. Have no fear. He has visuals to help you make sense of it.
Yesterday morning I read an article in the Israelinsider, written by Reuven Koret. Koret’s article claims to eliminate any lingering question as to whether or not the Certificate of Live Birth is a forgery/fake.
Koret begins his article by linking to Photobucket, an image gathering website, where millions upload images to share with others, or post in various places such as websites, etc. It shows variations of the same Certificate of Live Birth presented by the Obama camp. One has Obama’s birthplace listed as Antarctica, while another shows one issued by the government of North Korea. This certainly lends credibility to Polariks argument that the Certificate of Live Birth was created by some sort of computer program, that anyone can use.
According to Koret, Janice Okubo, Director of Communications of the State of Hawaii Department of Health made clear that no birth certification, or certification of live birth is transmitted electronically, and that all certificates of live birth contain an embossed seal and registrar’s signature on the back of the document.
He then compares the 1961 Certification of Live Birth, presented as authentic on the Obama website, to one certifying the Hawaiian birth of a Patricia Decosta. The similarities and differences are quite noticeable.
Both contain a green bamboo background, though one is noticeably darker. Both contain borders that are noticeably different. Obama’s is green, and Decosta’s is black. Polarik did a fabulous job of pointing out the obvious flaws on the border of Obama’s alleged certificate.
The most compelling and disturbing items of note are the lack of an embossed seal and the registrar’s signature, on the copy being presented by Obama. Decosta’s seal, even faded with time is quite prominent, as is the registrar’s signature that bleeds through to the front of the document. The lack of these two items makes it clear that the copy presented by Obama may in fact be a fake.
This raises many more questions and concerns. Did Obama knowingly lie, and present a forged government document as official? Why does Obama refuse to present his real birth certificate, for inspection – the actual piece of paper that can be handled by reporters? Is Barack Obama a citizen of the United States? Is he eligible for the highest office of this great nation?
Hillary will be on this faster than Monica Lewinsky gets on her knees.
Before you can get on a ballot to run for the presidency - or the senate for that matter - the candidate to be is put through an FBI overseen background check.
This article is trash.
Obama is definitely hiding things about his life, and is trying to present his “white side” far more prevalently than any other. He claims he was never a Muslim, but that can’t be the case since his entire father’s side of the family was Muslim and he spent the better part of his childhood at a Muslim school. The greater point is that we know nothing about Barack Obama. We know he’s a junior senator with a very thin record of achievement. There is nothing qualifying him to be the president, and there’s so many questions that could disqualify him.
Dear Ms. Shanahan:
Hope you’ve got a good lawyer. You’re going to need it after posting this libel. You’re accusing someone of a crime with no credible proof, just your ignorant speculation.

Would 1961 Hawaiian birth certs have listed *African* as a race? I’d think that the term Negro would still have been in use then, and a comparison with birth certificates of other Hawaiian-born citizens from 1959 with Black/African/Negroe parents would make an interesting comparison.
This article is not only trash, it’s libelous and actionable.

it goes with my theroy that hillary clinton will be the next president. I think the convention will be broken, and clinton will emerge. I think obama will NOT get the nomination in the end, but i believe it won’t be for this reason. I see something more sinister will be his downfall.
I would caution conservatives to not start chasing stories like this…Remember Clinton?
What I find curious about this is in regards to the form version. At the lower left corner, it states the form is “OHSM 1.1 (Rev. 11/01) LASER”. This document was printed on (or intended to be printed on) a LASER printer at some point after 11/2001. I realize that people can have duplicate certificates generated and that means little, other than this isn’t an original. It would take little due diligence to determine from vital statistics for that region if the document is a true and fair representation of the facts.
This is ridiculous. The FBI does background checks on these people. Putting rumors from blogosphere ahead of FBI security measures is absurd. Several factors can account for differences. First, the amount of time the acual copy has been stored, and the conditions in which it was stored, could affect coloration. Second, this could be a certified copy, not the original certificate. As for why it says “African” and not “Negroe,” keep in mind that his father was not African American, but actually AFRICAN. This might explain the difference. I think posts like this give all conservatives, and especialy the ones in the blogosphere, a bad rap. Let’s talk about the issues and policies, not smear libel all over the web.
IS THIS ALL YOU CAN COME UP WITH? ! ? !
Trying to bring Obama down to the depths that you are in, having a candidate that is losing quickly in the polls . . . I’m not biting. You have got to do better than that.
This document is not certified, and it should be to prove anything. See (b):
§338-13 Certified copies. (a) Subject to the requirements of sections 338-16, 338-17, and 338-18, the department of health shall, upon request, furnish to any applicant a certified copy of any certificate, or the contents of any certificate, or any part thereof.

(b) Copies of the contents of any certificate on file in the department, certified by the department shall be considered for all purposes the same as the original, subject to the requirements of sections 338-16, 338-17, and 338-18.
(c) Copies may be made by photography, dry copy reproduction, typing, computer printout or other process approved by the director of health. [L 1949, c 327, §17; RL 1955, §57-16; am L Sp 1959 2d, c 1, §19; HRS §338-13; am L 1978, c 49, §1]

RE: FBI Background Checks
Two posters here are mistaken. The FBI does NOT run background checks on congressional candidates. The FBI can only “run a background check” if they receive a request from a bona fide law enforcement official, and then only in an identifiable context (priors, national warrents, gun permit requests and some others).
If fact, the FBI doesn’t do “background checks” at all (they will send information found in their criminal database, but unless they are actually working on a case, they won’t do any other investigation).
Full scale background checks are handled as part of a request for a security clearance, but that’s handled by the Defense Security Service (DSS) for DoD personel or Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) for defense contractors.
Congress is VERY protective of its perogatives, and would NOT allow the executive branch (FBI, DoD) to determine who could or could not become a congressman.
The President, as CIC and head of the executive, has access to classified information without the need for a security clearance. (Hillary, though, as first spouse, did NOT have a security clearance and therefore was NOT (or should not have been) allowed to view classified material).

He did not spend the better part of his childhood in a Muslim school. He also spent 3 years in a Christian school.
This article is complete bs. People are looking for a reason to not like this man and it always falls back on the fact that they have been scared into believing he is a Muslim. Have you ever realized that Christianity has a history of being the more violent religion?
What professional degrees did we say Mr Obama has selected (law?)and has the status of “Professor”? From where? “Harvard”. Having patneral grandparents that reside outside of country and being related to 8 other siblings and half siblings. Is there any doubt in anyone’s minds that Mr. Obama knows where he was born? How many other institutions had to see a certificate? I would think that this basic question was asked and determined before his rise to the top spot began. Also how about everyone that has casted absentee ballots, etc and who would get the call by the Democrats to run? We supposedly have the finest secret finding administration that has existed in power right now. They are not democrats. With every phone conversation secured on disk and so many people being watched; it would be exciting to find out who blundered about finding out basic fundamental facts about candidates. It seems sort of par for the course because most people don’t even know they have been stripped of their constitutional rights.
Who is going to respond to these lawsuits before an injunction is presented to stop the presidental election only 2 weeks away. If this is BS it needs to be addressed. If it is remotely questionable or true; then contingency plans must be set in motion.
All the caddie finger pointing needs to stop and the issues need to be resolved.

With the hacking skills of those masters of the underground, this issue is a mute point. If someone had hacked into the official records, that fee would bring more joy than the consequences. If Obama was not a citizen, this would have reared it’s ugly head long ago. I am no Obama supporter, but I think all this crap is to get people their 10 minutes of fame. Think about this, there is one person in this country who could have already pulled this birth certificate and handed it over to the RNC if it existed, and yet there is no October Surprise.
Have you ever realized that Christianity has a history of being the more violent religion?
Totally wrong. Muslims killed hundreds of millions of people over a span of 1,400 years that continues unabated today.
It should be relatively easy for the county where Obama claims to have been born to search their records and discover whether or not his claim is true. Certainly paper certificates are not that hard to forge, but getting the record into the files where the document was supposed to have originated would be much harder.
I think the same person that created the fake National Guard records for Mr. Rather of CBS News probably was behind the fake Obama “certification of live birth” document. There is no difference. Both forged documents. Look at what it did to Mr. Rathers career.. LMAO..
