<title>Barack Obama Birth Certificate a Forgery?</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2049183/posts</link>
<description>Barack Obama may be on a world tour surrounded by a fawning media, but yesterday an expert in electronic document forensics released a detailed report on the purported birth certificate -- actually a &#x26;#x22;Certification of Live Birth&#x26;#x22; or COLB -- claimed as genuine by his campaign. The expert concludes with 100% certainty that it is a crudely forged fake: &#x26;#x22;a horribly forgery,&#x26;#x22; according to the analysis published on the popular&#x26;#xA0;Atlas Shrugs blog. (photos and close-ups, with detailed report) The purported birth certificate was published by the left wing Daily Kos blog on June 12 in response to unconfirmed reports that...</description>

<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2048976/posts</link>
<description>Presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is planning an August fundraiser in Honolulu, according to political sources. Obama&#x26;#x27;s local campaign spokesman, Andy Winer, said he could not comment but said, &#x26;#x22;we hope to have an announcement later in the week.&#x26;#x22; Sources said Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann and local financier Walter Dods are the co-chairs for the event scheduled for Aug. 12 at the Halekulani Hotel. Obama is scheduled to appear. Neither Dods nor Hanne- mann would comment. Fundraisers started making phone calls last Friday, according to three political sources. The price for the fundraiser is $2,300. There is also...</description>

<description>Early this morning, I happened across the definitive proof of the fake Obama birth certificate by an expert on computer forgeries on the website www.atlassrugs.typepad.com. I printed out the information and have it in my possession, since it appeared to me at that time that there was a concerted effort to have the website hacked by a DOS attack, which has since occurred. The website is no longer available. How can I distribute this info to the freeper audience, so it can get a fair examination by the public. I just have a hard, paper copy. Any suggestions? Anyone I...</description>

<title>OBAMA&#x26;#x92;S FAKE BIRTH CERTIFICATE: why I&#x26;#x92;m right, and they&#x26;#x92;re wrong!</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2046041/posts</link>
<description>OK, it&#x26;#x92;s time to let the genie out of the bottle., and prove, once and for all time, that the images posted on the Internet are NOT true, original copies of Obama&#x26;#x92;s birth certificate (rather &#x26;#x93;Certification of Live Birth&#x26;#x94;, or COLB), that they NEVER WERE true, original copies, and if anyone tells you anything different, that they are flat-out wrong. Period. Exclamation point. I direct your attention back to my main thesis &#x26;#x96; and what I said in my first post, &#x26;#x93;Was Obama&#x26;#x27;s &#x26;#x22;Certificate of Birth&#x26;#x22; manufactured?&#x26;#x94; I theorized that the fuzzy outline found in between the letters of the...</description>

<title>Disqualifying Obama from Presidency!</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2044485/posts</link>
<description>Disqualifying Obama from Presidency. Many here (and in Kook World) think we can disqualify Obama for the presidency with a claim that he not a natural born citizen of the U.S. Here&#x26;#x92;s how we can do it! First, Obama has no responsibility to &#x26;#x93;prove&#x26;#x94; he is a citizen. If we want to disqualify him, we would have to bring civil suit asking for a declaratory judgment that he does not meet the constitutional requirements and therefore must be disqualified. We have a few problems here. USC Title 8 provides many other ways than being born within the bounds of the...</description>

<title>Michelle Obama Contradicts Barack&#x26;#x92;s Biography</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2043991/posts</link>
<description>Michelle Obama contradicted the embedded story-line of her husband&#x26;#x92;s biography Thursday, as reported by The Huffington Post: His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was &#x26;#x93;very young and very single when she had him.&#x26;#x94; Oops, Michelle forgot the script. But she confirmed my suspicions that Barack&#x26;#x92;s parents were NOT married when he was born, and were not even together. And that makes Stanley Ann Dunham&#x26;#x92;s Aug. 61 trip to Mercer Island even more suspicious. Ann was not on her way to visit Barack Sr. at Harvard, as her friend told me. First of all, Barack Sr....</description>

<title>Obama birth certificate: Real or phony baloney?</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2042888/posts</link>
<description>Questions over a birth certificate for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama &#x26;#x96; the document that could prove his constitutional qualifications to run for the presidency &#x26;#x96; have been revived by a report from Israel Insider. A blogger who earlier raised the &#x26;#x22;unlikely&#x26;#x22; but circulating rumor Obama was born not within the United States, but elsewhere, possibly Kenya, eventually said he was satisfied the senator was born in Hawaii. WND&#x26;#x27;s report on the questions over his birth site followed secrecy by the Obama campaign over the issue, which centers on the U.S. Constitution&#x26;#x27;s requirement that presidents be &#x26;#x22;natural-born&#x26;#x22; U.S. citizens.

<title>Birth certificate &#x26;#x22;painter&#x26;#x22; mocks Obama claim that image proves authenticity</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2041849/posts</link>
<description>In a rambling interview with the Daily Kos -- the blog site that published the supposedly authentic Barack Hussein Obama birth certificate and his own birth certificate manipulations in the same June 12 post, Jay McKinna, aka opendna, says he manipulated the Obama birth certificate to create a blank Hawaii birth certificate as a &#x26;#x22;template,&#x26;#x22; supposedly for a John McCain birth certificate. But he says it was not an attempt at deception but a &#x26;#x22;lame joke&#x26;#x22; that he now regrets. But in trying to avoid legal trouble by diminished the significance of manipulating electronic images, he further undermines the explicit...</description>

<description>This is an issue that isn&#x26;#x27;t going away for the Obama campaign and unless they address it in an effort to put it to bed, it will become one of those &#x26;#x22;distractions&#x26;#x22; the candidate really hates: A few weeks ago, a diary entry at Daily Kos published several documents purporting to be Obama&#x26;#x27;s birth certificate. One of those documents is now a confirmed forgery, ferreted out by the website Israeli Insider: Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fake Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine...</description>

<description>Could it be a case of much ado about nothing? Doug Ross thinks so. Questions have been raised about the copy posted on the Daily Kos site bore a state seal embossed. ..one of Pamela Geller&#x26;#x27;s readers did some heavy-lifting with Photoshop and discovered what appears to be an embossed seal on the back of Obama&#x26;#x27;s certificate. Ross writes: I was startled because I had carefully reviewed the image weeks ago and not seen any clue of a signature or embossed seal. I spent some time this morning playing with various graphics settings until I was able to tease a...</description>

<description>Barack Obama&#x26;#x27;s campaign efforts to &#x26;#x22;stop the smears&#x26;#x22; are quickly morphing into an attack on free speech. In a June 28 article, &#x26;#x22;An attack that came out of the Ether&#x26;#x22;, Washington Post reporter Matthew Mosk attacks FreeRepublic.com and falsely associates a 2007 article I wrote with a stupidly written email claiming that Obama&#x26;#x27;s Indonesian step-father was a &#x26;#x22;radical&#x26;#x22;, that Obama went to a &#x26;#x22;Wahhabi&#x26;#x22; school, and that Obama swore his oath of office on a &#x26;#x22;Kuran&#x26;#x22;.

<description>Barack Obama is on fire. The presumptive democratic nominee for president has thoroughly defeated Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, the two of them have apparently kissed and made up, she&#x26;#x27;s now on the campaign trail hawking his wares, and all is right with the world as far as the Democratic National Committee is concerned. All polls seem to indicate that Obama is beating his republican rival John McCain. McCain himself has indicated that he is the underdog in this race, and has a lot of work to do between now and November. Obama is the oncoming...</description>

Backing away from a quote attributed to her that the image on the campaign site was &#x26;#x22;valid,&#x26;#x22; she told the St. Petersburg (Florida) Times in an article published yesterday: &#x26;#x22;I don&#x26;#x27;t know that it&#x26;#x27;s possible for us to even say beyond a doubt what the image on the site represents.&#x26;#x22; Barack Obama has claimed in writing to have a valid printed document:...</description>

After reviewing the evidence, we&#x26;#x27;re confident in our rulings. It started as a whisper, a trickle of nagging doubt. &#x26;#x93;As a concerned citizen, I&#x26;#x92;m wondering if there isn&#x26;#x92;t something fishy going on with the Obama certificate.&#x26;#x94; &#x26;#x93;I have serious doubts about the purported &#x26;#x27;birth certificate&#x26;#x92; you were sent.&#x26;#x94; &#x26;#x93;Something doesn&#x26;#x92;t smell right.&#x26;#x94; Soon, e-mails and blog posts were flying. As the pace quickened, the tone sharpened. &#x26;#x93;You should be apologizing ... for your misinformation regarding BO bogus birth certificate, that you claimed was genuine!&#x26;#x94;...</description>
