That is what I would think they might try...course they have an obvious Fake on the WebSite....they will have some spinning to do to cover that.

They have a low-res illustration there, not really legible, but just implying that the image is of a document that proves the textual information of the page is true (the larger image is scaled down for display by the html code). That's easily dismissed as "it's just an illustration...it's what the real one looks like, anyway..." And they never claim that is his birth certificate--they only imply it.

Unlike the Kos one, it hasn't been through multiple iterations to add a seal, etc. They can make a disingenuous but seemingly reasonable claim that they were not saying that was his birth certificate, but the focus was on the words saying he was born in Hawaii.

(BTW, Red Steel, note that I wasn't making it up when I pointed out that I could see a seal on the document that others claimed had no seal--it's right where I pointed it out. :-)

Not true. Fred Nerks has been posting the direct quotes from Barack’s own campaign site:

QUOTE:

Friend — You may have recently heard right-wing smears questioning Barack Obama’s birth certificate and citizenship. These assertions are completely false and designed to play into the worst kind of stereotypes. You can see Barack Obama’s birth certificate for yourself and help push back with the truth at: http://my.barackobama.com/fightthesmears Together we can make sure these negative and divisive attacks don’t affect this campaign. Thanks for your help.

The Obama "Fight the Smear" website has in the past published the larger resolution of the fake BC. They will not get off that easy.

When I magnified your picture of the certificate, I could see a date stamped on the back of the document that bled through...Jun 6 2007. What does that date signify?
