From what I've read, some figure that during the first few seconds of the
big
bang, the H1 expanded at a speed greater than the speed of light. Only
after it
had slowed down and it's glow (?) started that the speed of light became
the top
speed.

I'm not saying this is totaly true, but in about 3 or 4 articles that's
what
I've read. And while we may be seeing the light that left the object 12
billion
years ago, the object itself has moved, we are seeing it where it WAS, not
where
it IS.


True, we are seeing it where it was. However, if the universe is expanding,
then it has probably been moving away from us. Therefore, it's had 12
billion years to move further away than 12 billion light years.
