Sky news covers Obama "birther movement"

by DefendUSx February 27, 2010 LOL .. so, the original birth cert burned in a fire aye? .. so, what we get is an "electronic" (don't you really mean PHOTOSHOP image) record of "Certification of Live Birth" .. which are given to foreigners anyway.

From Blogsphere:

Fact is Obama never even got a "Cerftication of Live Birth" from HI. Here is how it all went down:

1) Public became suspicious on Obama eligibilty
2) DailyKOS blogger does a search for a HI Birth Certificate
3) One of the first results returned from a image search was used as a model
4) The Blogger didn't realize (nor did Obama) that the cert found in the image search was a "certfication of Live Birth" and not an actual HI birth certificate
5) A background template was used to create the "certification of live birth" in Photoshop
6) It was submitted to Obama and his staff and then placed on "Fight the Smears"
7) Blogger later admits to doing it but then his blog at DailyKOS is stopped and no one hears from him about the issue again
8) Public finds all kinds of problems with Photoshop image (including a glaring mistake putting the race as "African")
9) In an attempt to "fill in" what was missing from the original, two other versions were created. The first contained the Registrar Seal (which the public originally found missing as well).
10) The second version didn't "hold up", as it was still missing a Registrar Signature and "creases"
11) Third and final version contains new signature and creases (after being printed), but the signature cannot be seen up close enough. The public is asked to take Obama-affiliated "Fact Check's" word for it
12) Obama campaign decides to not use or reference the photoshop image any longer as it has become laughable
13) New approach is to site birth announcements in HI Newspaper, though the only thing showing this is, yet again, another Photoshop image jobby
14) HI Advertiser receives major government funding and is owned by "prominent Democrat"
15) Finally, redicule the movement as "fringe" through the Obamamedia
16) Attorney General won't "confirm" that Obama has legitimate birth records with the state

One of the more bizarre rows in American politics has resurfaced as the country prepares for crucial mid-term elections this year.

The so-called 'birthers' movement, which questions whether Barack Obama was born in the US and is therefore a legitimate president, has cropped up on the campaign.

A representative in Arizona's state senate has even introduced a 'birth certificate bill' because she says constituents are so worried.

The White House has consistently dismissed the issue. Authorities in Hawaii have provided an electronic record of Obama's birth because the paper copy was destroyed in a fire which wiped out much of the state's archives.

But J D Hayworth, who is running against former presidential candidate John McCain in the race to be Arizona Senator, questioned Obama's credentials on a radio show.

McCain, who lost out to Obama in 2008, criticised Hayworth for giving oxygen to the 'birther' debate.

And supporters at one of Hayworth's rallies openly questioned the president's right to be in office.

Alan Becker said: "If it was in question and someone questioned me about my birth certificate I would give it to them and say 'Here it is'.

"Why can't he do that?

Jimmy Carter: 'Claims racist'

Democrats in Arizona have dismissed the bill, introduced by Representative Judy Burges.

Kyrsten Sinema said: "This bill is what I would call patently ridiculous and offensive.

"The truth is that he was born in the United States and has provided that proof time and time again."

The 'birthers' are perhaps the most bizarre of the protest movements against the president.

Genuine concerns in the US are often being drowned out by more extreme voices.

Former president Jimmy Carter has suggested that much of the opposition to Barack Obama is based on his race.

But Hayworth, who says the Obama issue is now settled, believes questions remain.

He said: "We require voters to demonstrate they are who they say they are, I think everyone on the ballot should do that."
