Graphics pros challenge Obama birth certificate
WND ^ | April 28, 2011 | WND

Posted on 04/28/2011 9:51:43 PM PDT by RobinMasters

The most common challenge to the authenticity of the long-form birth certificate released this week by President Obama that is circulating on the Internet focuses on the layers of images discovered when opening the document in computer image programs such as Adobe Illustrator.

While there may be other challenges to the document's authenticity that bear further scrutiny, it appears that the "layer argument" can be easily explained.

Graphic artists who addressed the issue on blogs and Web forums point out that the format in which Obama's document was released, Portable Document Format, or PDF, is composed of multiple images.

Tests on other PDF images produce an effect similar to the multiple layers extracted from Obama's document.

Hawaii Department of Health spokeswoman Janet Okubo explained to WND in an email that the certified copy issued to Obama is a photocopy on safety paper "of the original Certificate of Live Birth."

She confirmed the state's previous statement that Department of Health Director Linda Fuddy "personally witnessed the copying of the original Certificate of Live Birth and attested to the authenticity of the two copies."

Okubo added that Alvin Onaka, the state registrar, whose signature is on the Obama document, "certified the copies."

Michelle Obama is a racist birther too. She says his home country is Kenya.

“Barack has lead by example, when we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country of Kenya...”- Michelle Obama

Too bad that people are missing the point that his daddy was a Kenyan and thus Obama does not meet Constitutional requirements.

You know it's not even about a purported fake BC.

It's about the truth in the first place.

The ‘security’ background ‘gone’ over specific additives should unconvince any sapient viewer. I'd like this to ‘go away’ BTW.

Opened in Adobe Illustrator - note: the 'copy' consists of a number of different layers (a simple embedding of a jpg image would not be 'layered') ... IOW, it wasn't "flattened" and the individual layers are accessible and unique:

Would these state officials who have sworn/certified/etc. be subject to perjury or related charges if they lied?

The top part of the document as released by Obama

and the revision I made in a graphics program to make it look more “correct”:

Am I going nuts here or did this guy just release the same exact document as the first; Namely a Certificate of live birth? Where is his BIRTH certificate? Why is Trump accepting this? Why is anyone accepting this?

Too late, the layers have already been explained, it was magic.

I'm starting to feel sorry for birthers. It's getting pathetic and sad. Final answer is that Hawaii says it's real. Article. IV. Section. 1. Constitution (the one birthers claim to be saving from the rest of us idiots).

I used to argue with birthers and was called every kind of name. Once they started calling me a traitor (while I was active duty in Iraq no less) I stopped posting to birther threads. You wanted the long form. You got it.

The document released 3 years ago was a CertificatTION Of Live Birth. That was the short form. This one’s a CertificaTE of Live Birth, the long form.

Another, more detailed examination opening the WH COLB using Adobe Illustrator:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2L5a_KS6iw

Again, it seems that separate ‘elements’ exist for a number of items on the ‘page’ that should belong to the same layer (or image).

Sometimes copying docs with a scanner can result in the copying software identifying different regions ... I have no idea if Illustrator can treat these as unique and then recompile them into a complete ‘page’ while retaining different elements as unique ...

Now why would the supposed same COLB be in different forms? Hawaii has some 'splaining to do.

Actually, I don’t have a problem with the last digit not getting picked up by OCR and remaining blended against the security background, however, what’s strange is the smooth curvature on the upper-left side of the final 1 digit’s serif. When reviewing the other OCR 1 digits, there’s a distinct downward hook on the upper-left serif that’s clearly not present on the final rasterized, anti-aliased 1 digit.

I looked at the only birth certificate I am sure is real: mine. Right at the top it says

Ohio Department of Health
Division of Vital Statistics
Certificate of Live Birth

OMG! I'm not real. The Certificate (as opposed to Certification) of Live Birth is the official name in Hawaii (and Ohio) of the long form birth certificate.

So what's the process to initiate legal proceedings against Obama and Pelosi since (I think) she was supposed to be the one to have vetted Obama.

Is it House Majority Leader Cantor, House Speaker Boehner, or Senate Majority Leader, Dirty Harry?

BTW, where are DeMint, Pence, Bachmann, Palin, Ryan... on this? Anyone know? Developing strategery perhaps?
