If the BC he purports to be the original on his website, can someone tell me why it has the date stamp of June 8, 2007 bleeding through from the reverse? Also, was his birth certificate also “folded away” as was the article he refers to?
I haven’t seen it claimed anywhere the bc on Obama’s website is a copy (or original) of the one he found folded away with the other doc’s he mentions.
Nowhere have I read... Here is the bc mentioned in the book...or words to that effect.
That part is easy, that's not a birth certificate, it's a dump of the birth records database, ostensibly produced on June 8, 2007, or delivered to the requester on that date. But if that's what it is, it should have an embossed seal certifying to it's authenticity. It's a lot harder to fake that, than to make a color photocopy of an altered document, but such an embossed stamp will show up on a photocopy or a scan (same thing really these days, it's just that the photocopy gets printed instead of stored.)
