So you accept an image produced by the white house on faith - no amount of anomalies in it will sway you.
Have fun arguing acceptance on faith of an image that the white house felt compelled to release because the previous document they released was a demonstrated fraud.
At this point we are at least in the “trust but verify” area.
And the latest PDF is not standing up to the verification.
Why wouldn’t the white house make every effort to put forth a clean scan (no layers/color anomolies/computer generated components) to put the issue to rest? Surely the WH is capable.
Why don’t they replace the PDF with a clean scan now? (and apologize)
Her is my proposal to clear up this issue AND feed some homeless people:
o Waive privacy rights to the documents relating to his birth with the state of Hawaii.
o Have Hawaii deliver a certified copy of the birth certificate, to all requestors - for a charge of $115.
o The proceeds will cover administrative costs ($15) and a $100 to a homeless shelter.
Since the information is already out, there is no real loss of privacy to Obama, and everyone can get a reminder of one of the iconic issues of Obama’s first term. (And real hard-core skeptics can examine a true certified paper copy.)
PLUS
Some great charities will get the benefit of both birther skepticism and gift giver’s generosity. These things would sell like hotcakes.
Come on Obama - feed the homeless...
You make a great point. Why didn't they stand by the first release if it was so authentic? They have been playing games with this since the campaign.
