(CNN) The White House released President Obama’s original birth certificate Wednesday.

The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president was born in the United States.

Ooops, at the beginning I mistakenly stated the Arthur said his father was 40 at the time of his birth while he was actually 33. As I note at the end, however, 33 years old was plenty of time to get naturalized for a man who had been in the U.S. at least ten years.

FOX has been going to the left and it seems Soros and media matters with their money is getting FOX to do this

Instead of them putting people down for asking questions then why don’t they do their job for just once and I have a question for them.

Did obama not state in his book he was named Barry and went to school as Barry but later changed his name later on in his life to Barack?

If so then how can this short form not long form like FOX keep stating state Barack at birth?

There were many, many stylistic changes made to the Constitution; not all changes were substantive.

I believe he did so how on earth can his short form which has been shown today state Barack?

Why are the O’s in Oahu and Obama different fonts? If this was a real typewriter it would be the same.

What jumps out at me is that the O's in both Oahu's are not in line with the rest of the word, they are a little high. However, in OBAMA, which is all in caps, the O is perfectly in line with the rest of the word.

Two different "typewriters?"

I just downloaded and ran "Some PDF Image Extract". It extracted 9 images from the Obama PDF.

Image 0 is the background with most of the text knocked out like you showed.
Image 1 was the main body of the PDF file stored as a monochrome image. Those letters still shown in full in Image 0 are missing from Image 1.
Image 2 was the registrar's signature block.
Image 3 was the APR 25 2011 date stamp.
Image 4 was part of the date stamp from block 22. The rest showed up in image 1.
Image 5 was the date stamp from block 20 missing the final 1 in the date, which showed up in image 1.
Image 6 was the letters "Non" from None in block 17a (the E showed up in image 1).
Image 7 was a 243x217 pixel region of somewhat random pixels. I can't tell the source.
Image 8 was a similar 132x142 pixel region.

It looks like rather than just scanning to a flat image with no processing, whoever scanned it created a multilayer file suitable for running an optical character recognition program. Here's a suggestion, White House. Scan at a high resolution to a TIF file with no compression, no sharpening/edge enhancement and no color correction. The file will be huge but it will help those looking for forgeries.

Birthers here will be so disappointed.

It would not have been released today if it weren't for the birthers. From what I recall a lot of people were insisting to the "birthers" that Obama's Birth Certificate was released long ago. Those are the people with eggs on their face not the birthers. Today, Obama proved them right and the Karl Roves of the nation wrong.

I’ve asked this before but did he not state he was born as Barry in his book and was named Barry at school when young?

If so then how can this form have Barack on it?

doesn’t make sense does it and he still cannot answer why was this sealed with all other records.

Sure. That and then some:

I believe the Constitution does not define the term “natural born Citizen.”

I believe we need a definitive ruling from the SCOTUS on the definition of “natural born Citizen.”

I believe that the FF intended “natural born Citizen” to mean a child born on U.S. soil to U.S. citizen parents.

I don’t believe we’ll ever get a ruling on Obama’s NBC status while he’s in office.

I would accept a ruling from the SCOTUS that said Obama is a natural born Citizen.

Was that what you wanted? Did I leave out anything?

I'm no digital document expert, but I sent this private reply to someone upthread regarding what I think you're describing:

Re: CNN via BREAKING on Drudge: White House releases Obama birth certificate To KarlInOhio | 04/27/2011 9:19:56 AM PDT sent You seem to have some knowledge on computer generated and/or manipulated files. I noticed when I refreshed the image that all the green background shows up with a little bit of the black text here and there, but most of the text shows as white, then when it’s done reloading all the black text shows up. Is that normal?

I was able to get a screen capture of it just prior to it generating the rest of the black text.

Perhaps he meant that's what he wanted people to call him. Like one day somebody wants to be called "Ed" instead of "Eddie."

OR ELSE THE TYPIST USED THE CAPS LOCK KEY because the whole line was capitalized instead of having to move the whole rack of letter arms with her pinky on the shift key.

We've gotten so used to word processors and laser printers that we've forgotten just how crappy typewritten pages looked, especially on manual typewriters.

scanned/photographed data into a 2011 version of the Certificate of Live Birth form and printed it on the modern-day, green security paper

If they did that, why would there be white spaces around the lettering? There should only be black ink on top of green security paper (no printer prints in white).

I'm EXTREMELY disappointed. I'm disappointed that the C-I-C of the United States military didn't have the DECENCY to cough up this document when Lt. Cmdr. Lakin questioned his eligibility rather than letting him go through a thoroughly unfair trial, sentencing and imprisonment. Lakin was ONLY DOING WHAT HE SWORE TO DO.

Two 19th century Supreme Court cases disagree with you as well:

Minor v. Happersett (1874)

The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898)

The constitution nowhere defines the meaning of these words [citizen and natural born citizen], either by way of inclusion or of exclusion, except in so far as this is done by the affirmative declaration that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States....It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born. The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.
