You knew I had pocket rockets, right? How often have you seen me come up with something on The Ticker without a fairly-decent set of evidence behind what I had to say?
It's time to call the curtain on this game and then go back to economics.
Find me one typewriter in the world, anywhere, that can perform kerning and I will believe this "certificate" is real.
For the uninitiated, "kerning" is the process of manipulating the spacing of letters to make the appearance more pleasing. Here's an example from this Ticker itself:

This process, of course, requires that you know what the next letter is. With a computer this is pretty easy, since the computer can retroactively go back and adjust, and it also can typeset the current letter with knowledge of what the previous one was.
A typewriter, on the other hand, is a mechanical device. It does not know what the next letter is that you will type, nor does it know what the last letter was that you typed. It thus has a typeface that always leaves physical space between the boundary of each character and the impression. It has to, lest letters run together and look like utter crap.
Typesetters (offset printing machines and similar) perform kerning - in fact, it's part of typesetting. But typewriters do not, cannot, and never have.
This, of course, is why the typed Birth Certificate has kerned text in it.

Oh, and before you say "that's an artifact of what the White House did with their automated process", here's the same thing on the AP copy, which is a simple picture scanned in, with no post-processing of materiality I can detect and no layers.

Oh darn.
Incidentally this is not the only example, as I show in the video.
To refute this point you must come up with a typewriter that contains a flux capacitor and thus is capable of accurately predicting the future.
I'm sure there will be people who argue some sort of explanation (e.g. "sloppy carriage") for these results. But at the end of the day, here's the point: Exactly how many of these "explanations" have to line up in this way for everything to be on the up-and-up with this document? Each of these explanations that has been proffered - tab stops, damage to the background, the low number of layers from automated processing that just happen to all be on things that would be important to change if you were forging something, the appearance of kerning, misalignment of certain fields .vs. others and more - has a probability associated with it as random chance.
How many of these random probability events have to fall exactly the right way for the explanation that everything is on the up and up to be valid?
Remember, in 1961 nobody knew this person was anyone but a random half-black baby. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about him that would distinguish him from the other kids born in Hawaii - or anywhere else - that year. There was no reason for his birth certificate to be made any more "pretty" than any other kid's, or for any sort of special treatment. Nobody knew, absent a time machine, that this person would be President in 2008.
What are the odds, folks, that it would all line up as the Obama supports claim by simple random chance?
Now about that forensic analysis we should have done on the alleged document that allegedly is in the files at the Hawaii Registrar's office in order to see if it's really 50ish years old..... This is the only way we are going to get the truth. Will the American people, Congress, or someone (e.g. a judge) demand defensible truth on this topic? We damn well should.
(I think that's my pot in the center of the table. Would you help me push the rather-large pile of chips over here please?)

PS: This is exactly how Dan Rather got caught - typography that was impossible to produce using the alleged tool the "document" was created with.
i know that some believe that Obama was born in Hawaii but that Frank Marshall Davis was the real father. Nothing short of a reliable DNA test would resolve that question - if in fact it is a question - but I would bet a year's salary that such a test would never, ever take place.
So again, I think there are more questions to be answered, but politically I am personally more focused on policies and stopping Obama’s dismantling of the country so many worked and died for. We'll just have to see what else comes up on these issues, as we educate the public on the problems with Obama’s policies and work to get a good candidate to defeat him.
Just one more thing: I do believe that the Founders intended the term “natural born citizen” to mean a person born to citizen parents (excepting those born before the US existed as an independent nation, of course). But our “leaders” in both parties glossed over this, intentionally or otherwise. I wonder if the Democrats will bring it up if a Republican with one citizen parent gets hot in the polls. Maybe then a paternity for Obama more “convenient” to that situation would arise, and be pushed by the media. Who knows? After Clinton escaped conviction after impeachment, anything is possible. Oops, I have gone on too long again.
As for Abercrombie, I think he ran into legal roadblocks he should have known about before opening his mouth. Also, nobody who has actually seen the document has said it contained anything "embarrassing," so I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Thanks. I remember reading accounts about the “embarrassing” aspect, but a quick search didn’t turn up what I was looking for and after about two minutes I gave up. Maybe I will pick this back up another day . . .
Bingo. Which one in particular?
In my own mind, I really have no question that some in the media have ridiculed and dismissed eligibility skeptics because they did not themselves have confidence that their man was in fact eligible, and wanted to quietly sweep the issue under the rug.

If you are doing that, you are doing the right thing.

Yes, but unfortunately they failed to make what they wanted abundantly clear and to clearly codify it into the law.

Clinton publicly demonstrated that contempt for the law could be a winning strategy. We are still reaping the consequences of that disgraceful man's actions.
Thanks!
....When one examines the signatures on the Obama abstract, why is it that instead of the 1961 era black ink business pen in a thin crisp signature, that instead the signatures are velvet smooth and wide like a felt tip pen of a much later date...........as those pens and ink structure gels did not appear until Obama was smoking dope.
It is not the same font, but the same pen which is questionable on three different signatures and
I think you are right in that this fraud, like the JFK assassination (killed by a lone nut assassin, who in turn was killed by a lone nut assassin) is likely to become accepted “truth”. The alternative in both cases is very painful. LBJ, Mafia, CIA, etc...likely involved in the first...the White House and MSM in the second.
Still...Let’s fight for the truth. With the right breaks this could open up...and The One will be history. Though, not likely. The country is at stake.
“free lap dances...”
Wait a second... Is this how we found out that Buckeye Texan is a gal?
...Ok, let’s see if I understand you. So, say the sheriff’s favorite nephew was out driving drunk and wrecked, killing your brother. Well, knowing the cops and the judge are all crooked, it’s rather pointless demanding justice be served. Is that about it in a nutshell?.....
Maybe Seal team six had the targets name Osama misspelled?
We are near vigilante justice and anarchy because the system has failed us -has it failed on purpose and what is that purpose?
The first rule of Sanity Squad is...
Never whine about your medical problems on cigar night?
“The first rule of Sanity Squad is...”
The first rule of Sanity Squad.
No shoes, no shirt, no service?
Look both ways before posting?
When in doubt, mock birthers?
Close the door, no one wants to see that?
You break it, you bought it?
Always talk too much about Sanity Squad?
1. Certified Documents? There is no evidence of an official seal on the PDF. In the old days, one usually took a lead pencil and ran the side of the lead over the raised seal so that it would be visible to be able to copy.
2. Custody trail? A PDF document on the Internet has no custody trail. The original document has never (as far as I have read) been made available for inspection.
3. Never proven true? I think that his first short form COLB and this long form COLB have both been proven as fakes. I haven't heard the administration explain any of the anomalies on either document (PDF) so questions of their authenticity still stand.
4. Pedigree? Why can't anyone find other examples of either document (PDF) that look exactly the same as the president's?
5. All our president had to do was to direct the Hawaii Dept. of Health to send certified copies to several news organizations. The issue would have died then and there. But it is obvious the president doesn't want this to go away for some reason. You would think with the CIA and FBI, etc. at his disposal, he could have at least come up with an authentic looking COLB.
