Obama didn't help himself with the birth certificate they released. It's a pdf file with multiple, and oddly arranged, layers.

I tried to duplicate how you could get a scanned file in pdf to do that and couldn't. I had to photoshop a document together to get the same results.

Whether it's a real birth certificate or not, I can't say. But for those of us that actually downloaded it and looked at it, we're baffled at the damn thing. Ended up raising more questions than it answered.

Here is the article written by Snopes regarding the nature of Obama's birth certificate's authenticity.

I'm not going to say an Adobe expert is wrong but there were a lot of us that tried to recrete the layering circumstances and couldn't do it.  

Unless the BC was very worn down (which we can see it is not) or the white house used the oldest OCR tech they could find (doubtful), I dont' see how you can recreate those layers.    People tried.  I tried.  

But the real question is, why in the world did they do OCR and PDF on it to begin with?   Something wrong with a regular scanner and a jpg?   You use OCR when you need to archive text from a non-digital source.   And you use PDF's when you need user interactivity with the document.  Neither of which make sense you simply need to scan and display a BC online.

Don't get me wrong.  I'm not trying to claim it as proof of fraud at all.   I just feel it's a baffling way to go about answering the doubters.  You never give them more questions in the process.  It only makes things look more suspicious.
