This kind of document could easily be faked on computer.
All you need is the right software and a good scanner.
Adobe Acrobat Professional has a setting where you can erase and re-type any text on a document very easily.......very easily.
I have done it. Not for illegal purposes, but I have altered and reproduced official documents for saving on the computer.
It is EXTREMELY easy.
However, I have a feeling this is not faked. It is now on the fight the smears site, albeit it is such a small image.
It seems to me this is legit, and he is a U.S. citizen.
We will have to beat him on other grounds, which may be easy, but I am not sure.
Frankly, I was shocked today when I heard his two proposals regarding taxes.
First: SENIORS WILL NOT PAY ANY INCOME TAXES.
Second: THE GOVT. DOES YOUR TAXES FOR YOU AND YOU THEN DISPUTE IT IF YOU DISAGREE.
These are innovative ideas. Do I agree with them......not the first one. I actually like the second one although I have a bit of an issue with it because government tries to screw you most of the time and I am worried about that. But, since there is no chance of real tax reform, that seems to be one of the best ideas coming out of anybody of late to try to make things easier on the taxpayer.
And that is the problem....he will win a lot of seniors who likely would have voted for McCain since he is an old fart himself. The other idea will win a lot of people.
The ideas I have seen McCain proposing so far are tired old ideas without anything innovative at all.
I am really concerned here about November.
Yeah, Obama has no experience. But, at least he is proposing some real ideas now unlike the primaries when he was all talk and no proposals!
McCain hasn’t really done anything unique yet. That is a real concern.
If you look at my posts 205 and 207, where I insert text next to the existing text, you'll see that it appears that this is wholly a photoshopped endeavor.
Perhaps you would like to proffer your opinion?
(and I only used Photoshop Elements 5.0 - if I had taken the time to further compress the images of the inserted text before repasting them it would be impossible to tell)
FWIW, that “fight the smears” page is full of lies, such as what Rush said, or that Obama was “never” a Muslim.
It doesn’t seem too likely that Obama would make a fake birth certificate public. But if the real one is damaging, I certainly wouldn’t put it past him. He has lied repeatedly, and he can always fire somebody for posting a fake document on his web site, and disclaim all responsibility.
Moreover, the laws of Hawaii apparently make it legitimate for any court to order changes to be made in birth certificates, and it then becomes illegal for them to release the earlier version. If Obama and his friends in the Chicago mob can’t get an Illinois court to order whatever Obama wants, I’m a monkey’s uncle. And Hawaii is a corrupt enclave of leftist politicians as well.
