Barack Obama, meet Dan Rather........
It's amazing how Democrats never learn! They hire computer geeks to forge 1960s-era documents who have no clue how a manual typewriter works!
Remember the infamous "superscript" in the letter that Dan Rather used in his attempt to bring George W. Bush down? The letter was damning indeed, unfortuately, it could not have been prepared on its publication date, because superscript capability simply did not exist in that era, with the exception of an expensive IBM Selectric model, that Bush's unit never possessed.
Fast forwarding to 2011, President Obama presents what is purported to be a copy of his "original" birth certificate. The "kerning" of letters in the Obama documents is precisely analogous to the "superscript" on the Rather forgery.
Kerning is a computer process that allows certain letter combinations to "invade" each other's space for the purpose of readability and economy of space. This could not be done on a manual typewriter, because a manual typewriter cannot anticipate what the next letter might be. This process appears in Obama's "original" birth certificate, both in the PDF version and in the AP copy.
Karl Denninger's excellent post listed in the source URL above shows this persuasively. Add this to the list of multiple document layers and pixel differences in handwritten entries, not to mention the rather odd "African" race assigned to Obama Sr, and you have evidence of a forgery.
Either Hawaiian officials time-traveled to the 1980s or beyond and back to prepare this document, or our Commander in Chief has perpetrated a forgery of a official document, a felony in most states.
This is in no way an original document. The more you look, the less you really know....
"And though I agree that “changing balls” MIGHT have accomplished SOME of the irregularities of type that appeared,"
Did you mean changing an IBM Selectric Typewriter "ELEMENT" ------ The Selectic Typewriter WAS NOT even invented in 1961!
If not, sorry.
Folks had differing views of what proved the Rather docs were fake. What convinced you?
Yes, I certainly did mean IBM Selectric balls/elements—but strictly as a hypothetical example. As it turns out, however, there’s also been talk about changes over the years; this can’t be the first time O has needed a faked BC. I think the point was that EVEN IF the element had been around (and I agree it wasn’t), it was still not capable of ALL the irregularities cited on the newly released version.
The second they were released I knew exactly what the plot had been ~ from that point on it was just a question of finding out all the things the conspirators had done wrong.
This would be a very difficult issue to really process. From what I've seen, there were a few different kinds of pens in use circa 1960. This one doesn't look like a felt tip to me at all. It looks a lot more like a fountain pen signature on absorbent paper. But that's not an expert opinion, just speculation.
I saw Ringo Starr once.
Thank you.
The one who has no clue about how manual typewriters worked is the guy who wrote this article. I'm old enough to have about a dozen or more years of experience on manuals.
It is possible, even common, to type at half character positions on every manual typewriter I ever used. (Try it if you still have one someplace. Space into the middle of a line. Hold down the backspace key, and type a character, say an 'X'. Then fill the line below normally with characters. None of them will align with the 'X' on the line above.)
