Expert: No Doubt Obama's Birth Certificate Is Legit
Fox News ^ | 4/29/11 | Jana Winter

Posted on 04/29/2011 5:52:16 PM PDT by Nachum

It didn’t take long for some of President Obama’s doubters to claim the long-awaited birth certificate posted online by the White House on Wednesday had been altered or might be a fake.

But a leading software expert says there’s no doubt about its authenticity, and he dismisses claims of fraud as flat-out wrong.

The doubters have latched onto the idea that Adobe Illustrator — the premier program for computer graphic artists — “reveals” evidence of document manipulation in the Obama birth certificate. They note Illustrator reveals nine separate layers of the document, and claim it’s “proof” the file has been altered.

But that’s not so, says Jean-Claude Tremblay, a leading software trainer and Adobe-certified expert, who has years of experience working with and teaching Adobe Illustrator.

“You should not be so suspicious about this,” Tremblay told FoxNews.com, dismissing the allegations.

He said the layers cited by doubters are evidence of the use of common, off-the-shelf scanning software — not evidence of a forgery. “I have seen a lot of illustrator documents that come from photos and contain those kind of clippings—and it looks exactly like this,” he said.

Tremblay explained that the scanner optical character recognition (OCR) software attempts to translate characters or words in a photograph into text. He said the layers cited by the doubters shows that software at work – and nothing more.

shut up you troll

you have no idea what you are talking about and are a proven idiot, libtard shill, and you have been doing this all day long today

you toss all kinds of complex language that seems to make sense but means nothing (Like the gobbledy-gook on star trek about “tachyon emmision field reverse polarity”)

Nothing you said means anything in this context of what should have been a simple xerox copy of a birth certificate than any one of us can get except, apparently, the pResident.

As soon as I see Sarah Palin inserted into an issue she has absolutely nothing to do with I stop reading.

It’s one of the most sickening pseudo-intellectual things to add to your talking point.

I have a long form copy of my BC from Hawaii circa 1945. It's a Standard Certificate of Live Birth, detailed information and the raised, embossed seal of the Territory of Hawaii dated 1947. The embossed seal should show up even in a photocopy of the document.

What the hell has happened to Fox News?
They all go way overboard to defend anything potentially bad about Obama?
I have never seen this type of blatant propaganda to cover for an elected official.
It’s overboard, way past any appearance of objective journalism. Are we this far past the possibility of a true Republic?
The news is corrupt, the elected officials are corrupt, our school systems are corrupted.
What does the citizenry do in the face of an overwhelming corrupt system?
I know the answer, but I doubt the sheeple are willing to give up the remote and total entertainment to correct the problem.

But perhaps this does tell you that the location of where the document was generated could very well be different...

The BC's of the Nordyke twins should of been typed out on the same day at the same hospital if he was born there. Why all the differences?

I only watched “official proof 2” but am very convinced the bastardo is scamming us again. Trouble is after listening to Mark Steyn today I realize it no longer matters as we’re going over the cliff momentarily. Thank you SCOTUS, MSM, B.O’R, and purported conservative talking heads and or writers for ignoring this C-P, Marxist, Socialist touch down while striving for other than the protection of our Republic.

You can not...at least not with anything that would be anywhere near normal.

Ordinary scanner software and ordinary Adobe can not do this. It had to go into a manipulator tool such as Illustrator or Photoshop to do this.

I do a lot of scanning of documents and sometimes photos and convert in and out of adobe all the time. You get one image...and if you tell it OCR it creates the OCR table. But you never get a chopped up image like this POS.

I tried all the techniques the obots have posted. I scanned into a TIF file then converted to pdf (that seems to the most common story), I tried this, and that, I pulled old documents, new documents. Nothing created ‘layers’ using the native scanner software and Adobe Standard Version 9.

This is just pure spin. And look my other posts. The imagery evidence is mounting.

BTW,

Here is the OCR for the actual Obama POS LFBC:

I find it hard to believe that in 1961 a woman could give birth in HI and a couple of weeks later be in Washington state with the baby.

And what is the alternative theory? That she gave birth in Kenya, and still somehow ended up in Washington State a few weeks later with the baby? How is that plausible, but not so if she gave birth in Hawaii?

There probably hasn't been an opportunity for the last 40 years to get a xerox copy of a birth certificate in that center in Hawaii.

Odds are good you can't get one anywhere anymore.

They went straight from thermographic photostat systems to microfiche reproduction.

"So why 3 years to get it and why did they let Lakin go down in flames?"

He released it when he had a motive to do it.

Lakin's case had nothing to do with a birth certificate. He was charged with his own conduct.

bluecat6: “Go find an early 1960s Hawaii LFBC with centered text.Then come back and we will discuss.Centered fields...with a 1961 typewriter....yeah....

You must be well under 50 years old.


You would be wrong about my age. I typed all my high school papers on a MANUAL (non-electric) typewriter and actually took typing class in high school.

What you call “centered” text in the Obama birth certificate could merely be a typist that knows how to use the space bar. I don’t really see that these texts are very centered anyway - they look pretty random.

I just don’t think you have a smoking gun here that shouts FRAUD.

I do think that it could be many of the forms that used nicely aligned typing were done by military personnel and that Obama’s was done by civilian? Or as I said before, it could be a novice or someone who just had their own “style” of filling out the form.

I also think all this stuff about layering is a dead end. I think we need to concentrate on the information in the document and not the style. I truly doubt that Obama’s people manufactured this in their offices. If there is any fraud, it has been done to alter the records that are currently held in Hawaiian “vaults”.

Then let one of our experts examine the original... because what this guy is saying is that this is a layered painting of what may or may not be a legitimate document. You cannot tell the authenticity of a signature in digital form... but the real deal can be verified... same with documents... at least that is my understanding.

WMD originally claimed this timing but in fact she didn't have to be in Washington until classes started at the end of the following month.

It would be nice if there were some words describing the evaluation of the the White House generated COLB.

The red vertical lines suggest to me that the lines of text were generated by text that was pasted in the fields by a computer. If it were a typewriter, everything would be registered perfectly if you were to draw a vertical line through the different lines of text.

What else is found?
