The liberal LA Times may have hit on a reason for the "sudden" presentation of the so called birth certificate, to distract from the real issues while protesting that he REALLY wants to debate them. I don't think the LA Times meant it that way but it DOES make sense.

I had some suspicion that he was using this as a “rope a dope”.

However, sigh, there's this bunch of, well, you know, different kind of fixated people distracted by something as trivial as whether he's legally qualified to be president of the United States, as he has been for the past 827 days. The birth certificate document released on the White House Web Site has alot of issues. Too many. I think the WH wants to keep this alive until the elections, discredit their opponents and just gave fresh meat for that.

The plan was to turn the table on Trump and make him release his tax returns.
But the document has already been resolved as fake, layered/edit PDF file.

No, the LA Times has been Faked Out! It's a Badly Done PDF Document File on the White House Website. The layers have not been synced into one "picture" within the PDF Document File.
A "Scanned In" picture would have No Layers. And this looks scanned in as if it had been from a binder, but the Layers are the key to it's veracity.
The LA Times has been Faked Out.
'Mike Wallace' like fake document ALERT!

Where’s the foot print? I won’t believe it until I see the baby foot print and compare to the president’s footprint. I think this is a foot conspiracy!

Don’t be fooled that the LA Times has changed stripes in any way, still very left — but they do allow this blog on their website. “Top of the Ticket” appears in on-line opinion section of LA Times.

What's really behind his inevitable decision 1. The threat of new laws in states requiring documentation in order for him to be on the ballot in 2012.
2. The upcoming hearing in the Ninth Circuit.
3. Continuing pressure from the citizen media.
4. Poll numbers.

What it really demonstrates is that he and all his supporters knew the COLB was NOT a BC, and they still persisted in saying that it was. They will not concede anything unless they are absolutely pummeled on it. It also demonstrates why Jan Brewer, John McCain, etc were wrong. An actual BC had not been shown, and those types of Republicans would let him get away with passing off a COLB.

I wonder if there will still be a push in state legislatures to pass law that will require all candidates to present a long form birth certificate in order to be placed on the state’s ballot?
To: All
So the guy spends millions and hires attorneys to keep this (and other documents) sealed, and NOW releases it. Um yeah. That makes perfect sense.
I don’t buy it. Everyone knew that a forged BC would be produced. Everyone! Duh! Why spend all that time and money to concel something like that if there wasn’t something to hide. And so today they release it.
Again, I don’t buy it.
But I guess we all need to drop it now as he’s provided “proof.”

Hmmmm....
So the President of the United States, with the economy tanking, gas prices spiking, three wars ongoing, China ascending, and terrorist threats all around, takes time out to go on national television to announce his birth certificate.

Rather than simply post it on the White House website, Obama took six minutes of presidential time to visit the White House briefing room, where all the important media folks hang out waiting for their next important broadcast messenger assignment. Such a visit to such an important place by such an important person is guaranteed to attract maximum attention. I didn't see this. Does anyone know if he marched into the briefing room holding one of the copies he obtained?

Obama wants the birthers to go keep going further out on the limb before he cuts it off.

Where do you guys get the idea it is layered? I can open the PDF in Appel Preview, and Adobe PhotoShop, and it definitely is NOT layered. The PDF contains a single, non layered bitmap.

I wonder if the LA Slimes used this same type of argument about Dan Rather's "fake, but accurate" Bush TANG documents.
I doubt it.....

I take it back. I used the PDF extract tool, and it is indeed a layered file. My mistake!
