Is there any evidence to back up the claim Obama's Hawaii birth certificate is a forgery?

I am not convinced the birth certificate Obama has presented (through Fightthesmears.com) is an officially certified Hawaii document, and here is why:

First, consider that Fightthesmears.com is run by Obama's campaign and is therefore going to provide information skewed to support him his as much as possible and will stop at nothing to do so. They have an extremely vested interest in doing so. It's not just about winning the election. If Obama is elected, many of these people, especially those that help him significantly in any way, are likely to be rewarded with lucrative positions in his administration. Therefore, regardless of what your opinion of Obama is, you really should consider anything on this site with a very heavy grain of salt as it is NOT an INDEPENDENT source of information. Likewise you cannot solely depend on sites like DailyKos that are only preaching to the choir of Obama faithful. Research sites that present positions on both sides, or go to multiple sites, both conservative and liberal. Everyone has an opinion, and journalists of almost every ilk no longer maintain professional objectivism in their reporting, but instead almost everyone is now presenting opinionated commentary, not fact-based objective journalism. The real truth is probably not being presented by either side, but is some combination of the full reporting.

Newsmax.com addressed the birth certificate issue at length in an article recently (link in the source section). The birth certificate (BC) that Obama has produced is a copy, requested on Jul 6, 2007 according to the bleed-through stamp ink on the back (barely seen in the scanned version, but with imaging enhancing tools it can be seen) (see source for image). In the Newsmax.com article, Obama's BC is compared to another from 1963 (see source for image) that appears to be an original, not a reprinted copy (Keep in mind Obama's BC is from 1961, so this is still not quite an apples to apples comparison). In the Newsmax comparison there are very clear differences between the two documents. The 1963 BC contains far more information such hospital, attending physician, information about parental addresses, etc. This is apparently because the 1963 BC is a "vault" copy while Obama's is not a "vault" copy, if it is an official document at all. A "vault" copy of Obama's BC is what the people that have have initiated lawsuits to try and obtain Obama's BC are after. These difference raise quite a few questions, considering a "live birth certificate" issued by the state should contain the more verbose information included in the 1963 BC.

The more I look at Obama's BC, the more I was convinced something is fishy. Then I found the Newsmax.com comparison. I remembered I had requested a copy of my own Kansas BC recently so I got it out. I had lost my original copy and needed a new certified BC. (I don't recall ordering a "special" type of BC [i.e. a "vault" copy], either.) The reprinted copy of my BC is exactly what I remember from my original, but has added anti-counterfeiting measures, with background gradient coloring and pattern. It DOES NOT have a raised seal, but does contain proper certification on the back. AND, it is VERY similar to the Newsmax.com 1963 BC. Looking at Obama's BC, note the HUGE amount of white space. This makes me think that Obama's could have been altered by a professional image editor (the only thing they would not be able to easily "fix" is the size of the document, resulting in lots of white space).

Because of how common identity theft is, I'm not willing to post even a "privacy" edited copy of my own BC, but please read the Newsmax.com article and look at the image. Decide for yourself if Obama is at the very least being entirely forthcoming on this issue.

The last date Barack Obama had to produce his birth certificate was yesterday, October 21, 2008 according to the case #08-cv-004083 Berg v. Obama et al.

Some are suspicious that it may be the reason he went to Hawaii yesterday, to see what he could do about his birth certificate. Just a rumor I heard. I guess we'll know in a couple days.

No, unless the entire state government of Hawaii and the election committee is in on the conspiracy. Please read from the source listed below, and download a copy of the Obama birth certificate and hang it on your refrigerator.

Not to the asker, but to everyone:

Has anyone seen John McCain's birth certificate? Wasn't he born in a foreign country (Panama)?

Since it seems everyone's controversy-starved, here's some more for you, Ralph Nader is an Arab, and nobody's up in arms about that.

I believe so, hence why so many are questioning the reason Obama is refusing to show said documents as ordered by the Judge. Watch him come back from his Hawaii trip with documents (forged no doubt) in hand.

Yes, the picture has no office seal...and it's his sister's Birth certificate...He was not born in Hawaii

omnivore- Funny Obama's parent's weren't married at the time of his birth...why is that fake b.c. held at an angle...Lies

No. Nothing that would have any validity in the legal system.

Nope. It's been so thoroughly debunked that only the tinfoil-hat people still believe it.

Nope.
