Lots of things can be successfully photoshopped.

Tread carefully. This whole “Obama birth certificate” controversy may just be a plant by the Obama campaign to divert attention from the “Obama is a homosexual crackhead” controversy.
Lots of things can be successfully photoshopped.
Actually, the Vatican did that in 1988...
I don't think it would have mattered to her if he had a wife or not. She wasn't thinking marital status when she bedded him. He was the exotic black man from another continent with a strange accent. They met in a Russian language class in September and she was pregnant by November.
And if he was a Dunham, wouldn’t there have to court papers to change it to Obama legally?
Isn’t a certified birth certificate part of the required paperwork when registering to run for the office of President of the United States? And if not , why not? Something smells.
Was he ever known as Barry Soetoro?
Imagine if this were about the Republican nominee.
As I recall, there *were* some questions earlier on about McCain's "eligibility". Now, it becomes quite apparent that this should be revisited, focusing on *who* was asking these questions and more importantly, *why*?

You’ve done your best. Nothing will stop the howling mob from chasing after moon shadows though.
Point well made.
Don’t stop trying. I just wanted you to know someone had read and understood your post.
Thanks.
Yes, but only after years of requests, and only a tiny sample was given to carefully chosen researchers. In contrast, Kerry’s form 180 remains invisible, and so will Hussein’s birth certificate. Even Hillary and Sandy Burglar can’t get it.
In reference to that I just posted this on another thread but seems relevant here too.
In order to run for office in Illinois, a candidate must file a statement of candidacy which states in part that the person is qualified for the office he seeks (see 10 ILCS 5/7-10). Senator Obama filed such a statement when he petitioned to be on the ballot seeking to be the Democratic Party nominee for President. However, unless an objection is filed, the candidate need not provide proof that he is qualified for office. The objection period was in early November of last year, and no objection was filed to Senator Obama’s candidacy which would require him to show anyone a birth certificate. Therefore, the Illinois State Board of Elections has no documentation of Senator Obama’s birth.”
Then- there’s this:

Did Obama Keep Any Records From His Years in the State Legislature?
Very few Americans had heard of Barack Obama before his 2004 Democratic Convention speech. On his life and career before then, we have only a few sources to go on. Two autobiographical books written by Obama, one of which features composite and fictional characters; David Mendell’s biography Obama: From Promise to Power; and the coverage of the Chicago and other Illinois media from when Obama entered elected office in 1996 or so. The local press would probably admit that for many of the eight years Obama was in the state legislature, he was not a terribly high-profile figure.
Ordinarily in cases like this, those who wanted to know more about a candidate’s rise to the pinnacle of American politics would look at his record, or specifically, his records of what he did, what his actions were, as a legislator. Who did he contact within the state government, and what did he urge them to do? What were his priorities when he was not under such a glaring national spotlight? And in the past, Obama and his staff have encouraged just that:
Earlier this year, campaign spokesman [Ben] LaBolt asked The Associated Press to narrow a request for records on whether Obama had ever urged clemency for a convicted criminal.
“You’re asking us to do an extremely exhaustive search into every record we have from the U.S. Senate and state Senate offices,” LaBolt said at the time. At the news conference in Iowa last week, Obama said he didn’t “have a whole bunch of records from those years,” but told reporters to “let us know” if there are “particular documents that you are interested in.”
Except later in 2007, the campaign stated those records no longer existed. “LaBolt said Obama did not keep any correspondence with the general public. Ditto for letters to or from state associations and lobbyists, memos on legislation and correspondence with Illinois state agencies. The campaign said Illinois agencies have copies of his requests for information or help, but accessing those records would involve contacting the agencies and asking them to comb though eight years of records to find correspondence from Obama.”

I think Kerry felt the same way about the Swiftboats.
It’s only July. We’re asking this man to simply come forth and prove his ancestry. Instead of confronting this routine question head on, he stonewalls with questionable unclear documents and other smoke screens.
Produce your birth records from the hospital where you were born. Show us a birth certificate with you foot prints. Show us proof of your parents marriage, etc.
You’re running for the president of the United States. These are basic questions that any candidate should address HONESTLY AND FORTHRIGHTLY.
When I look at both COB’s I see a bigger area around the edge of the “real” certificate unlike BO’s. From the edge of the are where it says CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH to the edge of the paper is smaller than the original/real COB, like someone made it and made sure to get the COB to the size of the paper. Am I making sense? Not enough coffee this morning if I don’t LOL I count 3 and a half lines (going left to right) on the real one and only 1 and a half on BO’s.

Most of us see many variables/differences between the real COB and the false/fake one on the pro Obama site.
I guessing he did (make it). The certificate number is the same as the Decosta one. The “3930” relates to year born - 1930 as opposed to 3961 - 1961.
