Your post really shows your lack of understanding of the subject. I described my experience to show I have a good eye. When recreating a piece (and I recreate because I need vector rather than bitmaps for the work I do), one has to be able to discern the elements of the original.
As for Obama’s background image, no doubt it was designed to convey the same feelings as the rest of the site, without any sinister elements. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. That’s not to say Obama’s superficial aura of change doesn’t hide a Marxist.
“Ive got 30+ years of art and graphics experience. I recreate pieces from low-res art frequently. I do this sort of stuff every day. You can see the center stem of the E even in the image on this page. Because the lettering is arched, and not perfectly evenly, the E is skewed just enough to fool your eye (by the serif) if you dismiss the E center stem as an artifact, or overlook it. The fact that the lettering has a drop shadow but is reversed out (so the shadow becomes lighter than the lettering) increases the tendency for error because you are naturally looking at the lighter part and assuming it is the main part of the letter.”

All I am asking you is to prove it, by reproducing it. Take Obama’s apparent “E” “Pluribus Unum” and enlarge it with the enhancements, so as to make the “Z” out of the “E” as you claim, and do so without the tweaking of the “Pluribus Unum”, so that they remain the same as in the enhanced version of it on the net.
On another web site which I found by google, they discussed this, and several people took the challenge and enlarged and enhanced the letters and posted the results; the “Z” is obvious, but as they said:-

SOME PEOPLE WILL SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE
OR THEY GO WITH TOTAL DENIAL
I SEE ‘Z’ AS MOST OF US
IF YOU MAKE IMAGE GREY SCALE NEGATIVE
IT IS MUCH BETTER TO SEE IT”

In chemistry Z is used as a label for atomic number.”
I do not accept a “conspiracy theory” on this, but I do believe it is an arrogant attempt at showing their disdain for our nation, it’s symbols, and our Government, and that the flashing of it briefly, in a subliminacal manner only, is intended by them to mock all things US and to claim their intentions and desires.
If “Z” is connected to “atomic number”, then I also can believe that the huge cloud behind the whole scene of the fleeing bird and pierced flag and olive leaf branches dropped [which should be in the claws of the bird, as on US P Seal]is intended to be a rising mushroom clous. Esp as the original US P Seal has the small “Glory clouds” for the 13 stars on it and at top. In Obama’s image, the “glory” is now gone, and instead of the glory clouds depicted, an atomic cloud is rising from the bottom ground.
Whoever designed this intended to convey sinister and evil hatred for the USA, and everything associated with it in it’s symbols.
That is my opinion and it has been proved to me that it is so. Actually, on my own screen, the “Z” is plain to me without enhancement, since it was pointed out and I actually looked. I do have a large HD TV monitor, but I don’t know if that is helping me to see it without enhancement.
-But by all means, do the image for me yourself, and show me the clear and full text and prove that it is really an “E”, and not a “Z” with the unchanged “Pluribus Unum” beside it.
