A number of odd things have been noticed about the alleged long form birth certificate, such as the "layering"Â and the fact that Obama's father was listed as "African"Â, which in 1961 on government forms should have been Negro or *******. Obama also should be listed as "Barack Hussein Obama Junior"Â since he has an identical name to his father's, but apparently some Obama arrogance crept into the document forgery and "Junior"Â does not appear on the document.
The latest polls, for what they're worth, show that only 16% of the people now believe that Obama was not born in the U.S.A. That's a definite tumble from the 30-odd percent it was a few weeks ago, but while the birthers are down, they are by no means out. Trump famously stated that Obama's alleged birth certificate needed to be checked out, and Jerome Corsi's book on Obama's real identity and citizenship status is due out on Amazon on May 17th.
Donald Trump's belated entry into the Birther movement was almost certainly intended to establish himself as a Birther before Corsi's book came out. Trump used the Birther issue to get a big jump in the polls for the GOP primary.
All this changed when Obama produced an alleged birth certificate. The public got a brief glimpse of a new-looking green document that was neither an original birth document nor even a scan of an original document. Just as the first questions about Obama's alleged birth certificate surfaced, Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden, which has so far distracted public attention from any additional scrutiny of the Obama birth certificate.
There's an old saying that you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. The alleged Obama birth certificate that was posted on the White House website is not only a forgery; it is an obvious forgery. There are dozens of youtube videos with a cumulative total of millions of views, which have come out questioning Obama's alleged birth certificate.
