Sample that last digit like the preceding OCR characters and I doubt you’ll get the downward hook shown on the other sampled 1 digits.
Okay, I am reposting this without the typos
***************************************************
Okay, I think I figured out what bugs me about the Obama BC.
I first learned to type using a old mechanical typewriter. Anyone who has ever used one of these knows how they work. You insert the paper, or pre-printed form, and roll the form until you get to where you want to type the first line. I learned during class that the first thing you do is set the left tab and then hit the carriage return so that the carriage returns to the first far left column. Then you start typing. Each letter you type takes up the same amount of space. The letter “i” takes up the same space as capital “W.” Even the space bar moves the carriage one space. After you finish the first line, you hit carriage return again. The paper advances one line and moves the carriage back to the left tab position.
Now, why is this relevant ?? For anyone who has tried to fill out a form on a manual typewriter, its not easy. But there are simple things that a good typist does to make it easier. First is to always make sure the left tab is inside the form. Why? Because, with very few exceptions, you will always start typing in the first column. Look at this BC from Edith Coats http://news.webshots.com/photo/2859969810100435330YKAfiF and also the Nordyke Twins. Whoever typed the information always started at the left tab. Not so with Obama’s BC. There should be no reason why the typist would purposely indent lines 10, 13, and 15.
Another thing a good typist does is set another tab to move the carriage to a position that is frequently used. The precludes the typist from having to hit the space bar over and over again to get to that position. In the two example BCs, sections 9, 12b, and 14 appear to be a tab setting. Not so on Barry’s BC.
As I mentioned earlier, the carriage return moves the form forward one line at a time. This is a gear that clicks once for each carriage return. Its a constant distance between each line. Witness the first line of the two example BC. Every line after that starts in the same position. You can clearly see that the horizontal position of each line is the same in all of the boxes. The exception is the Obama BC. The first line starts higher than the subsequent line. This is not possible because the carriage return is a gear... unless the typist released the form and the re-positioned it lower, again for no apparent reason.
However, the most disturbing observation with Barry’s BC is the ‘X’ in box 3. As I mentioned earlier, each character (or blank) takes up the same space. That’s why all the characters line up through the entire document. However, the ‘X’ that indicates Single Birth is off by half a character. It should line up with either the “B’ or the “A” above it, or the “t” or “e” below it. Like Barry’s entire birth story, it just doesn’t line up.
Just a guess-the final "1" was created using the Photoshop text tool?
I continue to be puzzled by the claim that the supposed OCR software that separated the "61 1064" from the rest of the document couldn't deal with the final "1", which appears to be well formed and distinct. There's something very suspicious about all this.
‘Race Bannon’ is also a well known Freeper’s handle and his is the ‘name’ in that story. I don’t recall all the details nor a specific link, but I HAVE seen roughly this story somewhere on FR in the past.

Mother’s womb, jackel’s ass....same thing for BO.
Book Mark
[L 1982, c 182, §1]
H.R.S. § 338-17.8 was amended in 1982.
However, the regulation itself predates Hawaii statehood in 1959.
And no, I haven’t yet found the old territorial regulation corresponding to H.R.S. § 338-17.8 .
