Typeface analysis shows images come from different machines
The online image of a Hawaiian "Certificate of Live Birth" was trumpeted by the White House when it was released on April 27 as "proof positive" that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.
Now an expert in typefaces and typography says it sure was "proof," but not of what the White House would have wanted.
Paul Irey, a retired professional typographer with 50 years experience in his business, has says an analysis of the typefaces used in the Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate that the White House released on April 27 reveals it absolutely to be a forgery.
"My analysis proves beyond a doubt that it would be impossible for the different letters that appear in the Obama birth certificate to have been typed by one typewriter," Irey told WND.
"Typewriters in 1961 could not change the size and shape of a letter on the fly like that," he said. "This document is definitely a forgery."
Irey acknowledges that an IBM Selectric typewriter could have produced different typefaces in a given document, but only if the Selectric ball was changed every time a different typeface letter was struck which would be unlikely to have been done to produce the word "Student," for example, that had two different styles of the lower case "t."

There were thousands of posts on the subject ~ where the answer was "Hey, that's a rubber stamp".
Irey quite smartly DID NOT ATTEMPT to address the rubber stamps.
So if the different sizes and so on are just natural artifacts, then other abstracts should show the same stuff.
That's my guess.
Welcome to the club!
New Obot orientation is tomorrow at 8 PM. There will be sandwiches and iced tea served.
Buckeye Texan will bring cigars and present a lecture on effective trolling techniques.
Let me be among the first to say that I’m concerned that Mit Romney will probably not be given a sufficient opportunity to review the materials before hand.
Will there be a designated driver or should I bring bail money?
Count me in! ;)
All of which is entirely off topic and therefore totally irrelevant to this discussion.
Not at all. My response was more directed to the numerous posts the last few months, since the new BC thing hit, that have been sent us ‘birther’s’ way. We have been called everything under the sun and worse for our support of the constitution. I just felt like fighting back a bit I guess. (might have been an old timer steam let off by myself also). Do I want obama out? Yes, but by only legal and above board ways and or voted out in 2012. This entire BC fraud is just one way we can continue to battle on a legal front imo and I do not understand, with all of the overwhelming evidence of fraud, that there are still those who support quitting and demand us to give up this fight. One reason I support and respect Sarah Palin is her willingness to fight back, She NEVER gives up.
Obama was born, and admits it, a British subject. He became a Kenyan citizen. He became an Indonesian citizen. But being born a British subject, he WAS subject to a foreign nation AT BIRTH. Ergo, not a natural born US citizen.
One of the things we should always keep in mind is to have fun while doing this labor of love.
So I followed that link out of curiosity and opened the first document in the list: http://ia600406.us.archive.org/32/items/johnmarshallofbi00mars/johnmarshallofbi00mars_bw.pdf. And I scrolled down to page 11 and looked closely at lines 2 and 3 in the first group of names. And I see one 'd' with a horizontal serif and one with a serif that points down and to the right; and a '1' with the baseline going through the vertical stroke; and one '7' with a very curly top bar ending in the middle of the serif and one with a barely domed top bar ending at the bottom of the serif. Basically, I see anomalies of exactly the kind we see in Obama's BC. Unless this is a forgery, too, this seems to be what happens with typed, photocopied, digitized text.

So, your claim is that Obama’s minions used several different fonts and or type faces, variable font sizes, variable kerning, etc, etc, etc, to produce an OBVIOUSLY forged document?
Why would they do that? Why would they go out of their way to make an obvious forgery? Why would the Hawaiian officials not notice or remain silent if the document published by Obama contains different information from the supposedly certified document they released? I know you cannot answer these questions, but I’m throwing them out there anyway. Just how many people and government departments at the federal and state level are involved in this forgery and conspiracy? Did Obama buy them all off?
Do not imagine the photostat is just a negative ~ it's not. You'll find that contrast is adjusted to remove small stray lines.
The Black on White version is different and it shows the same sort of variations in letters that we see in Obama's document.
I haven’t read every post in this topic, but I’m wondering: are we now supposed to believe that someone forged the birth certificate by copying and pasting individual letters and punctuation marks from other birth certificates (rather than copying entire words like “student,” which couldn’t have been hard to find); using different versions of the same letter all over the place; but using the same version of the little boxes and other letters in some places?
Just trying to keep up, you understand.
EAT CROW AND LIKE IT!
They were wrong, they were told they were wrong, they were told it would blow up in their face and it did. Now their only recourse is to pretend we all didn't see their shame.
The crow doesn't get any fresher.
