From microfiche or microfilm there is no issue with resolution.

Of course not. But what the White House released was a PDF. Had they released a 1200dpi uncompressed scan of an 8.5"x11" page, the file would have been rather enormous. What they released was a greatly-compressed PDF. I agree that the resolution on even the bitonal text was pretty crummy, though not as bad as some PDF's I've seen of archival material such as IC datasheets. The bitonal text was IIRC twice the resolution of the color or grayscale material, which would be in line with a program trying to make a readable document in a compact format. Imagine how readable the thing would have been if it were a uniform color bitmap in the same resolution as the color parts of the picture.

The reason for the poor quality of the image is to obscure the details. Smoke and mirrors.

I don’t believe there is an original COLB in HI for Obozo.....

I do believe there was a late filing for a COLB that was recorded, but not accepted and acted upon because of lack of documentation.

I do not believe Obozo was born in HI. I am not sure if he was born in the U.S. at all.

I doubt that he was born in Kenya.

I suspect he might have been born in Canada.

The “long form” he “released” is a carnival sideshow freak. It is a forgery...

If this had been as simple as HI Dept. of Health stated, it would have been released years ago.

Obozo’s entire life is a Lie...

Here is what was used to create the COLB: A Mac using OS X 10.67

Quartz is the code system within the MAC that created the .pdf document.

The version given to the AP (not on security paper) was scanned and is in RDF (XML) format. Here is some of the internal notation:

A lot more detail about how it was created. I removed leading and trailing < & > chacters so the details are visible.
