If you look at my posts 205 and 207, where I insert text next to the existing text, you'll see that it appears that this is wholly a photoshopped endeavor.
Perhaps you would like to proffer your opinion?
(and I only used Photoshop Elements 5.0 - if I had taken the time to further compress the images of the inserted text before repasting them it would be impossible to tell)
Once again, it goes back to the question of WHY IS THE NUMBER BLACKED OUT? In my opinion, there can only be one answer.
People would be able to verify that the document posted is in fact not valid, or that some of the information on it is not valid.
It could be entirely Photoshopped. On the other hand, it could be legit. I have been issued documents that look that that...where a computer basically types over an image of a document. That is somewhat common, though a bad way to do things since it can easily be altered. Actually creating text fields etc. looks more realistic.
Whether it is real or not, I do not know....somebody that is an expert in analyzing artifacts etc. would have to weigh in.
The ease and the minimal effort it took to insert the text I inserted is, to me, a big red flag.
And the fact that it's so highly compressed - causing the jpg artifacts we see around the text and the pixelation - is suspect. Why not - at least - medium jpg compression? Because it's more difficult to see details with lower compression.
FWIW, that “fight the smears” page is full of lies, such as what Rush said, or that Obama was “never” a Muslim.
It doesn’t seem too likely that Obama would make a fake birth certificate public. But if the real one is damaging, I certainly wouldn’t put it past him. He has lied repeatedly, and he can always fire somebody for posting a fake document on his web site, and disclaim all responsibility.
Moreover, the laws of Hawaii apparently make it legitimate for any court to order changes to be made in birth certificates, and it then becomes illegal for them to release the earlier version. If Obama and his friends in the Chicago mob can’t get an Illinois court to order whatever Obama wants, I’m a monkey’s uncle. And Hawaii is a corrupt enclave of leftist politicians as well.
interesting. The document is very easy to alter the way it is set up......basically just an image with typing over it.

BUMP
