I went to Drudge’s website and clicked the link to this article:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/04/27/white-house-releases-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate/
I scrolled down to the link labeled:
Click here to see the birth certificate. (Second page)
If I right-click on that link and select ‘Save Link As...’ I can download the PDF of the ‘birth certificate’ to my desktop. (I’m using a Windows XP PC)
When I open the PDF (I have Adobe Reader 9) and I change the Zoom setting to 400%, it looks like almost all of the black text has white edging around it. If I use the vertical scroll bar, and scroll up or down very rapidly, and if I do it so that I stop at Line ‘11. Birthplace (Island, State or Foreign Country)’ I notice two things. First, that for a split second, I see only the white edging (it looks like white-out) and then in a blink of an eye the black text builds over the white edging. Second, Where it says ‘Kenya, East Africa’, when I rapidly scroll and stop, the ‘K’ in Kenya is already there (it look fuzzier than the succeeding text) and where all the other letters should be there is the white edging, and then the rest of the black letters appear over the white edging.
The same rapid scrolling technique also works on line ‘1a. Child’s First Name (Type or print)’. The ‘R’ in ‘BARACK’ is already there, and there is white where the other five letters should be. A split second later, those five black letters show up.
It’s as if the source document used to make the PDF has two layers to it, and most of the black text is the ‘front layer’, if you will. The watermarking and the ‘white-out’ are in the ‘back layer’. (don’t blink)
So if you have the time, try this for yourself and see if you see the same thing I do.
My point is that I agree that this is not an original document. It is a recreation.
I managed to download a PDF file and was looking at what you are looking at.
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
1) In Adobe right click over the document and left click “Marquee Zoom”
2) Now scroll up and down the document (with wheel on your mouse). Look at what you were looking at. You are correct Sir! Outstanding work!
You can clearly see it it in the name Barack (how the R sticks out), and then scroll down the document and you can clearly see the white out with the type over.
This needs to get out!
PLEASE SEE POST 276 AND 313.
HERE IS THE PDF FILE FOR ANY FREEPER. PLEASE GET THIS NEWS OUT.

Hey did you notice how different the “R” is compared to the rest of the letters when you use the “Marquee Zoom”?
For instance, when viewing in “Marquee Zoom” every other letter except the “R”, has some sort of point/block. Just zoom in and use the wheel on your mouse. Anyone can clearly see this.
Unbelievable!
I tried doing that with the White House site pdf. I can’t see that letters disappear or reappear but the white around them is evident. The “K” in Kenya is wonky as are a few others. What’s with all the penciled (?) in numbers and such? See that “S” in the second signature? That’s the same as how Stanley Ann usually writes her capital “S”. Notice that there’s one “r” in Sr.’s name instead of two. Maybe she didn’t know him well enough to know how to spell it which makes one wonder if he was just the daddy-patsy.
Whoa! I spoke too soon. The words do disappear and come back.... Que the Twilight Zone music.
