I watched that, and was stunned by the two-word answer from his “expert”. Why did they even bring it up?
I am a computer validation professional, and that document would never pass even the simplest tests for tamper-proof / tamper-evident PDFs because it falls apart in layers.
As an electronic document, it would be inadmissable in a federal audit (or court for that matter) without the opportunity to compare it to the stamped and ink-signed original, to verify that they are identical.
If your lawyer thinks the Obama BC is just peachy, find yourself a new lawyer.
I don’t know exactly what it takes to be a computer document expert, but I been a self-employed digital computer graphics artist and commercial print broker for over 20 years now. I am well-versed in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat. When Obama announced that he had posted his long-form birth certificate on the White House website several years ago, I went to the site and downloaded the file. Within minutes I was able to disassemble the PDF file into at least 11 separate layers. It was obvious to me at that moment that this was an image created from many parts by (and this is the important part) someone who wasn’t experience enough to “flatten” the layers into one single image before it was published and posted to the WH website. The White House claimed the file was a photocopy of the single page BC. In fact it was an image made up from many different parts that didn’t all match. If the person(s) who created this file had just flattened the image before saving it, nobody would have known the difference. But because they didn’t, the multiple layers were easily identified by even the most amateur computer graphics person.
I saw the exchange last night on O’Reilly and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He claims to be a “simple man” frequently on his show, but I think that he really is simple.....minded. For O’Reilly to dismiss the BC fact out of hand, is very telling about his expertise and professionalism or lack thereof. He is wrong about so many things, that it is apparent that his own egotism and narcissism get in the way of intelligent thought and analysis. He goes so out of his way to give Obama the benefit of the doubt, but he gives Obama too much credit. He is clouded by his own inflated view of his own self-importance.
Bottom line is that Obama’s long form BC is phony and so is O’Reilly.
