(CNN) The White House released President Obama’s original birth certificate Wednesday.

The surprise release follows recent and sustained remarks by businessman Donald Trump, among others, that raised doubts as to whether the president was born in the United States.

I’ve got an idea. How about you log off of FR and go to Democratic Underground where they actually accept people who stubbornly refuse to accept reality. It’s over. The fat lady is singing the funeral dirge of the democrat-fueled birther movement.

Why is the 6 - on Obama's cert - in the LLH stamp proportionate, but the 6 in the LRH stamp is not?
Might be my lyin' eyes, but the 6 in box 18b (Stanley's date) is identical to the 6 in Mrs. Nordyke's box 18b date.
Additionally, the 1 in Stanley's box 18b is the same as Nordyke's date, just pushed to the left.

..open it up in Adobe Acrobat Pro... ...click Document, then Examine Document... ...check Deleted or cropped content (1 item)... ...click Remove, then OK... ...SHA-ZAM...

Can that be done in standard edition? For those of us who don't have "Pro" can you take some before/after screenshots and post?

The “D” in Dunham looks like an image right on the paper itself, while the “unham” looks as though someone went into to photoshop and darkened each letter on a pixel basis. I mean you get the real crisp edges in the “unham”, but the “D” has the grayish squares that you normally see in a pixellated image.

Without seeing the original document, it just looks like a weak start signing the name to me similar to the A in Ann. The line is narrower than a single pixel width, therefore it shows up as gray.

It was copied onto security paper. Jeez, I'm amazed by the capacity of folks to hear hoofbeats and look for zebras.

It truly is amazing.

[butterdezillion]

Good question. They want us to think this is a photocopy on security paper of a document having security paper. But the copy just happens to line up perfectly. That seems like something that you could do with Photoshop or something like that but not very easily with a photocopier.

And if this is a photocopy why was there security paper in the photocopier anyway?

None of these stories match up.

[Eagle of Liberty]

This looks like chunks of text pasted on the security paper. The text chunks cover the security paper.

Opened the PDF too and I believe that the scanned COLB was brought into Adobe and then the watermark was added. The watermark went around the letters of the scanned image, hence creating white spaces.

That says date of registration is August 5th. On the latest one released the date of registration is listed as August 8th.

Were they using Dan Rather's Typewrite? Note the two "Ho"s... anyone have an explanation? Maybe the hospital name was pre-typed?

Polls show him going (Obummer going down a bit) I applaude Trump for what he has done.
This is just the beginning

[BuckeyeTexan]

Good grief. This is getting truly beyond all reason.

Of course the security paper is new and wasn’t around in 1961. The HDoH scanned or photographed the original document that Fukino claims was in the basement in a bound volume.

Then, in order to print it - this is important, so pay attention - they pasted/inserted the scanned/photographed data into a 2011 version of the Certificate of Live Birth form and printed it on the modern-day, green security paper.

This document is not a picture of the original long-form birth certificate. It’s a 2011 version of the Certificate of Live Birth form with 1961 data inserted into it.

holy cow

[matt1234]

IF this was AFter Obama was bor, wouldn’t her serial number be higher than Obamas 41?

I noticed that, too. Accd. to the BCs, obama was born a day before Nordyke, but obama's BC has a HIGHER serial number. Why is that?

[InfraRed]

Shouldn't the two certificates have been stamped by the same machine in field 22?

Those stamps look very different to me.

[little jeremiah]

It says AFRICAN.

[caww]

What time is the FED press conference?
2:15 EDT

Thanks....I think it’ll be all a show as well...as said prior...it’ll be like Obamas speeches..telling us a lot we already know and saying nothing about what we need to know. But I am interested to hear just the same, in case I can be pleasantly surprised. No doubt the International Leaders will be listening and those fo the IMF etc.

[little jeremiah]

AFRICAN for race of father.

[Tatze]

Why does Obama have a higher birth certificate number?

Its a good question, but could easily be explained by when that number was stamped on the form. Its obvious that number is a stamp. Who knows the procedure of that office in 1961 and how those forms were processed and the order of when those forms were stamped.

Box #13, look at the S in Stanley. It is also lighter and looks “fatter & stubbier” than the S in box #12 (Student)
..Also, in box # 17, the Non in None looks lighter as well.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Sorry, to anyone that watched the juxtaposition this morning, Trump looked undeservedly egotistical, Obama tried desperately to look like the adult in the room.
