Simply amazing how the embossed stamp is so clear suddenly.

And there is a sharp fold in the document that didn't show up in the scan. But, it does have the weird mis-alignment of the borders in the four corners.

I also think it's really convenient that this has suddenly appeared after Obama's Hawaiian vacation. I wouldn't put it past someone in the state's office to create a customized certificate that matches the previous versions. However, that would be exceedingly difficult to prove, unless someone in an official position were to go on the record. I don't think that will happen.

Obama could have chosen a better "neutral" observer, though. FactCheck's linkage to him through the Annenberg foundation just invites criticism. And, one has to wonder why did they didn't use a high-resolution flat-plate scanner, rather than taking a photo of it lying on a desk.

***Because then some real experts would be all over it.

Woese than that, its borders do not have the wierd sh*t that the borders in the scanned image has. Not even closes.

The Seal and signature block were NEVER one on top of the other.
