Froggy's Obama Birth Certificate review (with sample of own)
Ok folks here we go:
Upon finding my short-form Birth Certificate, I noticed that it's published on the same paper as President Obama's. So I figured why not try a little experiment to see what's what. First, I pulled the published copy of Obama's (long-form) Certificate from the following site: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/defa...-long-form.pdf The published PDF is devoid of any links or layers. I zoomed in to scrutinize the text and it is provided as (A) Sample 1 below. I then scanned my own Birth Certificate first at 300dpi, and then at 600 so as to generate better detail. It was scanned as both a .PDF and .PNG photo. Findings: First, most, except for a few characters on the Published Obama long-form display 'halos' or areas around most text in which typical scanning noise dissapears. Second, most of the text display's hard-edges, with no dithering noise commonly seen in simple scanned documents. Without a doubt, the document has been 'washed' or retouched with some sort of OCR or editing software. Period. Second. In my high-resolution 600dpi scan of my own certificate (B) Sample 2; constant noise is apparent throughout the document. The two documents couldn't be more different. Conclusion: In some (as yet undefined) way, the released .PDF of the Obama long form is obviously at least a digitally retouched document. Small portions of the document retain original text and/or characters. Why this is is up for debate. Personal Opinion: Since the Obama long form contains at least some original traits and characters of a scanned document, it was at least, at some time based on a real piece of paper. Personally, I think it's a great bit of politics. Knowing that the opposition will go after any flaw in his story, Obama authorized the release of a highly washed document as a political dog-bone. He has the real one and it exists; however by letting this washed document out into the public, the opposition takes the bait and makes themselves look foolish in the public eye. In the words of Admiral Ackbar; "It's a Trap!" Around election time, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that he'll release an original, untouched, high resolution scan as the final parting shot. If this is the case, it's masterful politics; clever and nasty, but brilliant nonetheless. If this is NOT the case, then his released Long-Form Birth Certificate is the worst forgery of all time. |

Otherwise, it's the worst forgery ever. The President of the United States has the resources at his disposal to make a perfect 'fake' if necessary. |

Wrong!
There are actually two layers in the picture you see:- a monochrome image (mostly text), overlaid onto a color background image. This was probably done simply to enhance text visibility, and may be an automatic feature of the software that was used to create the pdf. If you look closely at the background image you can see that a few bits didn't get transferred to the overlay, and the original text has not been completely erased (for any conspiracy theorists out there:- it's the same text, nothing's been changed. Someone else's name has not been blanked out so that 'BARAK OBAMA' could be typed over it!). |

Ok let me ask another way. Why do you have so much faith this liar has a rel usa birth certificate when your own proof shows he lied to you and discraced the office of the presidency?

All I know is that the .pdf hosted by whitehouse.gov is a piece of digital junk. For what reason is it so crappy? I honestly don't know. But in the end, if that's what they want to show the world, there's a reason for it. |

The published pdf is a new electronic document, combining (a copy of) the original certificate with a declaration of authenticity. Nobody is denying that, so there is no need need for (nor is it possible to produce) a 'direct digital scan' of the pdf. The declaration is dated April 25 2011, same time as the pdf document was produced. There is no 'physical' (non-computer generated) master copy to be scanned! The validity of this document cannot be ascertained by examining the document itself, but only from the fact that the Hawaii State Registrar acknowledges that it is valid. Cue conspiracy theory in 3,2,1... |

He became president because the majority of the electorate had their heads firmly ensconced in their posterior and got caught up in a cult of personality.

It's 'enhanced' in some way. Perhaps they washed it through OCR to make it 'more legible.' Either way, the .pdf as presented isn't from a direct scan. Maybe 3-4 steps/processes after initial scanning.
