Fake - proven.

Hah! The evidence you introduce supports the opposite conclusion. This is from a scan of the next sheet of blank paper on the Staples legal pad on my desk.

I can spot at least two blemishes in the paper that resemble those on the 2007 CoLB. There are also a couple of random ink spatters in the lower right and a stray something in between the red rules. I can assure you these flaws are not dirt on the scanner glass. They are easily visible if I examine the original with with a loupe, and they stay put if I rub the paper with a tissue paper and then flip it around and scan it again. They are durable and part of the original.

Thus, it's quite likely those three extraneous dots evident on 2007 form were present in the original paper stock on which Hawaii printed the document. The scanner picked them up. And so did FactCheck's camera.

It's quite pathetic to watch. Gullible birthers will grasp at any reed of evidence, no matter how flimsy, if it seems to support their quest for the Magic Bullet to oust the Magic Negro (hint: the magic formula is 67 senators).

Staples? So the State of Hawaii prints their documents on paper from Staples? And they just use ordinary cotton based paper with lots of residue? Who knew...

At least someone has offered some explanation.

But as any forensic document specialist will indicated - you need the original document to make a factual determination. Images are fun forum fodder and good media propaganda but real documents can resolve this in no time. May it is time for the games to end.

Given the WH used a web browser print of the COLB from SNOPES they seem to have trouble finding their own copy.

You might need to read up on how actual security paper and the unique print process that goes with it actually work. Oh - and brush on manual typewriters and the accurate age of Obama senior at the same time. But at lest this was a somewhat plausible response - the first in 2 years.
