The biggest question you need to ask yourself is why?

+1 for asking a good question though that really made me stop and think :)

Really...? That's like the number one response I read when looking into this weird faked birth certificate thing. I figured that you certainly had a prepared response for that!

So a recap of the arguments AGAINST this being fake are:

• The date stamps don't actually line up if you look closely

• The similarity in Obama's and Ah'Nee's certificates are likely because they were likely derived from a pre-stamped or preset lot of birth certificate cards, and the print has nuanced differences (H in Honolulu not as full in Obama's)

• The proud Honolulu-ans could have messed up the original reel of the microfilm when they went to the library to see first hand their new leader's birth notice (before this birther thing even started).

• Regarding the lack of a newspaper, didn't ol' Rumsfeld once say "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. All Trump's money and he still couldn't buy the truth.

• And finally, why?
