Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has denounced Republicans for
“birther nonsense” and described such concerns as “idiot presentations,”
but now a law enforcement official who has reviewed the evidence
regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility has invited Powell to see it for
himself.
“I don’t know what Mr. Powell’s problem is,” said Michael Zullo, the lead investigator of the Cold Case Posse for Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz.

There is nothing wrong with Obama's birth certificate, and it is not the only proof of his having been born in Hawaii.
There is also the public Index Data file and the birth notices sent to the Hawaii newspapers by the DOH of Hawaii in 1961 (which were only sent by the DOH to that section of the paper, the "Health Bureau Statistics" section, and the DOH only did so for births in Hawaii.) So there are those two proofs in addition to the birth certificate, and Obama's Kenyan grandmother NEVER said that he was born in Kenya. She said repeatedly in the taped interview that HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII (birther sites simply cut off the tape before she was asked where he was born.)
Now turning to the allegation that Obama's birth certificate was forged. One proof that it is not forged is Obama's short-form birth certificate.
Short-form birth certificates are created by a clerk reading the information from the document in the file, and filling out the computer form that generates the printed short-form birth certificate. The officials in Hawaii have confirmed that they sent a short-form to Obama. So, unless they are lying---and they were Republican officials--the only way that Obama's birth certificate could have been forged was that it was forged in 2007 and slipped into the file just before the clerk looked at the file. That is not very likely, is it, especially since at the time Obama was not even the candidate of the Democrats. He was still in the primaries at the time and he was only a junior senator from Illinois.
The claims that Obama's birth certificate are forged come from birther "analysts"-----who have not shown that they are even analysts, and who CERTAINLY have not shown that they are fair and impartial. Those are two reasons why Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck and the National Review do not believe the birther analysts. And birther sites do not quote the analysts who say that there is nothing wrong with Obama's birth certificate. For example:
Dr. Neil Krawetz, an imaging software analysis author and experienced examiner of questioned images, said: “The PDF released by the White House shows no sign of digital manipulation or alterations. I see nothing that appears to be suspicious.”
Ivan Zatkovich, who has testified in court as a technology expert, and consultant to WorldNetDaily: "All of the modifications to the PDF document that can be identified are consistent with someone enhancing the legibility of the document." And, by the way, when WND received Zatkovich’s article that said that he found nothing wrong with Obama’s birth certificate, WordNDaily simply did not publish it.
Jean-Claude Tremblay, a leading software trainer and Adobe-certified expert, who has years of experience working with and teaching Adobe Illustrator, said the layers cited by doubters are evidence of the use of common, off-the-shelf scanning software — not evidence of a forgery. “I have seen a lot of illustrator documents that come from photos and contain those kind of clippings—and it looks exactly like this,” he said.
Moreover, for Obama not to be a Natural Born Citizen, Obama would have had to have been born in some country other than in the USA, and that---considering how far Hawaii is from the nearest foreign country and the fact that pregnant women seldom traveled long distances late in pregnancy in 1961 AND that the officials in Hawaii and the birth certificate and the birth notices in Hawaii say that he was born in Hawaii---is not very likely at all.
