I think everyone is clear on my opinion of MissTickly, right? There’s no love lost between us.

Okay. I recently read an article on her blog about the seal on Obama’s short-form COLB as photographed by FactCheck.org. She has a valid point. That seal is debossed not embossed. In other words, it’s completely the opposite of what it should be. WTF? Hawaii uses an embossed seal which creates raised text and images, as evidenced by every other seal we’ve seen and by the law in Hawaii. The seal on his COLB has lowered text and images. She is not mistaken.

Check it out. Let me know if I’m missing something.

FYI to my post #4

African is not a valid category of race especially during the 1960s. Race categories in Hawaiian classification manual dtd 2006 did not include African either. Thus it had to have been edited well after 1961.

IIRC, having not checked on this, the de-bossed seal reads in reverse.

The front side of an embossed document would be raised and read normally, but the back side would depressed and read in reverse.

I'd have to go and look at it again though.
