Now that I have shown definitive proof here why the border on the Obama COLB image looks not only different from what a real 2007 COLB border looks like, but also, that the border on this image could only have been created separately using a graphics program.
Let that sink in for a few moments before you read the next comment.
I used Factcheck's original, "birth_certificate_1" photo for the illustration above to prove that "Seeing is not always believing," especially with Photoshop at one's fingertips.
Here is the original Factcheck image:
The scan released by the campaign shows halos around the black text, making it look (to some) as though the text might have been pasted on top of an image of security paper. But the document itself has no such halos, nor do the close-up photos we took of it. We conclude that the halo seen in the image produced by the campaign is a digital artifact from the scanning process.
Other than being referred to as "(some)," I feel deeply honored...if not fully vindicated ;-)
Thanks, Polarik and PhilDragoo. It’s easier to pick up a porcupine than let go. I planned to resign from The Ping List at midnight last night, but, there are a few loose ends we should try to settle.

(Cuba? Are we getting closer to a Malcolm X connection, or not?)
