It was doctored in nine layers.
Too bad the Obamabots on FR don't believe them, nor their own eyes.
Here is a very obvious example:

The Constitution does not state any requirements for the father or mother of a president. It only states the requirements for the PRESIDENT (natural born citizen, age 35+, 14+year resident). The fact that his father was not a US citizen is irrelevant and does not need to be checked by the media.
Obama’s legitimacy is being questioned because of HIS natural born citizen status, not his parents’ status.
Don’t worry. I thought it was funny.
I have heard differently.
Slumming with the "birthers"?
No, we are not going there tonight, Salamander.

Here is a very obvious example:
There’s definitely a raster vs OCR issue, which could be explained as a scan anomoly. But look at the downward hooking serifs on the OCR’d 1 digits and let me know what you think.
I’m of the opinion that the rubber stamp for the 1 digits had a broadened serif to give the rubber strength. That characteristic is not evident in the rasterized, right-most 1 digit in the serial number. The concave area under the serif might plug up on a rubber stamp if the font used was a typical typeset font used for print.
Isn’t it wonderful that SOME on FR want to tell you WHAT you can write or read on here. Or what you should concentrate on, and want to take the high road with the DEMOCRATS on the birther issue.
Sometimes you just have to go...”I’ll swun!” and slap your leg...and then look at these control FREAKS and say...”God bless your little pea pikin heart!”
Don’t want to read this article, go play with yourself somewhere else, for pete’s SAKES!
I think McAmnesty-McCain's MS-13 buddy should be eligible when he turns 35.
But first, NBC is not the only issue for the upcoming election, so please stop inventing false dichotomies. (It is also an unresolved issue with the last election.) If you don't want to hear any more about this topic, then ignore these theads. sTrolling in and telling everyone to STFU because you don't think the NBC clause of the Constitution is important is not going to change the minds of those that think it is important. It's not only unproductive, it's also rude and stupid. This is FR, not DU. Adults are trying to have a conversation here. If you can't contribute to it, go play outside.
Second, there are only two possibilities:
The problem is that the Constitution does not define NBC within its text, and "there is no controlling legal authority" with the balls to make a ruling that will stick. Everyone is playing 'hot potato' and 'pass the buck' and 'hear no evil' - which is frustrating as hell to those that actually care about the Constitution.
Depending on the precedents and interpretations and nuances you care to believe, NBC is either a trivially simple matter or it is endlessly complicated. I'm a big fan of Occam's razor, and so prefer the trivially simple case. Reasons for it are given at the end.
So there it is in a nutshell. Obama cannot possibly be a NBC, and it doesn't matter where he was born. He is, in fact, a British subject by birth, or possibly a dual citizen (or even three, if you prefer).
So, why is the simple case preferred? Because if NBC does not mean born in the USA of two American parents, then it means nothing. Let's look at the possibilities:
So NBC boils down to native born and no dual citizenship. The reason for this being the preferred definition of NBC is that any other circumstance allows for divided loyalties.
No other definition of NBC makes sense.
Sorry Barry.
Ah, but there's another possibility: Obama Sr. is not the biological father. In this case, Barry could be a NBC but he would have to admit that his entire life-story narrative is based on a lie. While it would be embarrassing, it would not be devastating - Americans are very forgiving, and have short attention spans. And even shorter memories.
Sadly, this option is no longer possible, because the last birth document was claimed to be official and released by the White House - so there's no going back on the son-of-a-Kenyan story.
Which puts us back to: not NBC.

After I downloaded the BC from the WH web site and opened the PDF, as you zoom in, you can see the layers. Adobe Illustrator can open and isolate each layer.
The issue of some elements getting picked up by “OCR” and other elements not getting picked up doesn’t bother me that much. I could explain that away in defense of the posted COLB. What doesn’t make sense to me, however, is the downward hooking serifs on the left-most 1 digits in the serial number. The hooking is not evident on the right-most 1 digit regardless of the scanning. Maybe there’s a reason for it, but I’m not getting it. This is my only focus on the COLB — the rest goes over my head.
I have to admit that I am becoming curious about the Ninth Circuit’s decision. It’s taking more time than a summary dismissal would seem to need.
Nothing to hide but the truth? Anyone asking or investigating who knows the truth and is keeping silent? Or, who signed off on the fraud? Or, whose giving the orders?
how could WND let this happen?
We are extremely adept at multitasking, and eligibility is a valid, constitutional issue. It's one issue of many.
Your big problem is your, “I'm smarter than everybody” arrogance.
If you think this is a dead horse, you’re sadly mistaken. For the sake of the US Constitution, this issue won’t be a dead horse even when BHO has left office.
The truth must be revealed and the sycophants are simply buying time to get BHO through. Once he has completed his term/terms, they will end the stalling game and the darkness will lift revealing some very scary things.
