Nothing explains the disturbing images on Obamas posted document. Nothing except that the document was electronically created. That explains everything. He posted a computer created document and NOT the scanned photocopy he says he posted. You know a scanned photocopy does not turn in to a computer generated created document simply by the scanning process?

You are 100% wrong. When you scan a document, by definition, it turns into a computer generated document. There can be few, or many of artifacts created in the process. If you enable OCR, you will get layers and all sorts of visual artifacts as the process will try and sharpen the image. You are falling for ignorant claims by people who are bot technologically literate. You can reproduce the artifacts yourself by installing the software and trying it.

Here is an example National Review put together, showing how a scanning to a pdf will create layers as seen in the obama cert.
