The fact is, OB has been obfuscating and dissimulating from the beginning.
As to the text - what I found most surprising is that, given this is supposedly a scan, I didn't even have to realign the text at all when I inserted it - and they align perfectly.
Have you ever tried to get a scan to line up perfectly horizontally for Photoshop editing? Usually you'll end up tilting the text slightly one way or another - not so at all here.
And here's an 800% look at the original and inserted text:
Yes, the original is slightly different then mine - but the whole original document was highly jpg compressed before my text was inserted - I attempted to get mine to the same compressional level, and could've done better had I taken the time. In any case, you'll notice that both have the same whiteness around them. You'll also notice the the printed seal looks like it was actually scanned, whereas the rest looks similar to my Photoshop addition.
These are just things to consider. The fact that I was able to insert text with such minimal effort is, to me, a red flag.
Good points. And, yes, it is VERY odd that they would’ve been able to scan it so perfectly. I’ve done a fair bit of “photoshopping” myself, and you’re right - it’s one of the harder “tricks” as far as alignment of text and such when working with a scan.
Thanks for taking the time to show me that. I’m sorry if I came off “snarky” - I need some more sleep!
I honestly STILL don’t know why, if they were going to make the BC available to the WSJ, and Daily Kos that the campaign wouldn’t just put it on Barak’s website for the world to see... It’s still a little fishy.
