This has pry already come up and been posted...but just in case it hasn't.
Remember the whole flap a while back about Obama's birth certificate? The one that supposedly got laid to rest when Obama produced the document in question?
It's a fraud. See the highly technical proof here:
web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12993.htmSo what's this mean? Well, number one, it means Obama still needs to produce a valid birth certificate to prove his eligibility to be president. This doesn't necessarily mean he's covering something up --- most likely, what happened is that some joker at Daily Kos photoshopped a quick fake certificate, and the Obama campaign picked it up and just assumed it was real. (Obama's people, after all, do not doubt his eligibility; and Obama supporters are gullible anyway {or they wouldn't be Obama supporters} so the idea of a fake wouldn't have occurred to them.) But it still brings up the point that A) Obama is stonewalling --- why doesn't he just produce the freaking genuine certificate already? --- and B) his campaign presented a crudely forged document as the genuine article without checking its authenticity. Point A makes no sense, when Obama could put the whole issue to rest right away. (John McCain showed HIS birth certificate when people asked questions about HIS citizenship.) Point B is troubling in several ways. It indicates carelessness at best, and outright wrongdoing at worst.
