This rumor -- that Obama wasn't born in the US -- has been rampant on all the hate sites and Jerome Corsi's new book of lies also pushes the lie, which is now proven beyond doubt that it's false. Well, at least in reality. Some people live in their small worlds where anything can be true if they say it enough.
Factcheck picked up the original and felt it and took pictures with it. I checked in with the hate mongers and fear not, they STILL are chewing on this lie (it's even filed as "conspiracy") and they have plenty of other outlandish stuff to please themselves.
FactCheck: In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake."
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.
PolitiFact also went through rings of fire to track Obama's birth certificate and to determine if it was real.
McCain hasn't released his birth certificate but Obama did.
Snopes debunked the lies coming from the radical extremists on the right.
If you suspect Obama's birth certificate isn't real after you've looked at nonpartisan facts, then you should explore the real reasons why you doubt the truth. What are the real reasons you dislike Obama? Admit to those and get on with your life. There is a truth and if you choose to be fooled, you choose to be exploited.
