Obama certificate falls short in authenticity [has kerning, which is impossible on a typewriter]

If I can tell it is not genuine, then Corsi can go for it. I know basically nothing, but I know what was released was a fabrication. Where are our pubbies and their forensics people? As usual, hiding under a rock.

The “bent key” theory might have held up except that the letter following the “p” is almost touching already. A bent key could cause two letters to overlap, but then the next letter would be preceded by an inordinate amount of space. This did not occur here.

What is the vintage of the Klondyke twin BC? Did it exist when this document was prepared?

Issa is still carrying around the 44 original investigations he promised before the elections,but is currently involved in the latest gun running fiasco......they are all on the back burner,.... it's a big stove, with a lot of heat in the kitchen

Very sadly, you are right on the money.

" And ALL of this after Abercrombie said the COLB DIDN’T exist. "

I guess that depends, I guess he was trying to say that the real authentic long form does not exist and they had to gather together other birth certificates to make a composite for this faked long form for Obama.

If anybody cared, he would’ve been gone by now.

Yep, the people that don't care are the problem alright. America doesn't mean a thing to them.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Impeach Obama.

The ‘ultimate evidence’ is the presence of different versions of the same letter, like capital “A” within text supposedly written all on the same typewriter back in 1961.

I saw that:

I very clearly remember using typewriters that could adjust the horizontal spacing, aka kerning, between letters. It was possible in the 70’s to scrunch up letters horizontally so as to fit more text in a given area. As I recall—keep in mind this was a long time ago—there was a key on some of the electric models that would allow a person to slightly increment left or right. It was even possible, although difficult, to change kerning manually on all typewriters. You simply loosened the platen and manually tweaked the paper however you wanted it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Sometimes typebars get bent resulting in letters offset from where they ought to be, however this offset should show pretty consistently each time the letter appears.

This sounds almost too clever to be true, as monospace fonts like Courier typically don't kern (fee fi fo fum happy).

[HiTech RedNeck]

Or, slightly depress the backspace key.

It is clear that the SCOTUS, CIA, FBI, NSA, ETC. are aiding and abeting TREASON!!!! All of this could have been and should have been settled long ago. As time goes by, the treason becomes more glaring.

Regardless of what many people think about whether this issue is dead or will never be prosecuted it still remains a felony of justice and thus must be investigated and recorded.

It may never be prosecuted but it absolutely requires that it be documented correctly for historical fact.

And since liberal democrats firmly believe in myths, hearsay and rumors for historical facts the weight of this problem falls upon our shoulders.

We may never get prosecution but we will win the battle of truth for the history books.

And doesn’t the fact that nothing will happen, and that polls show 50% of ‘Americans’ (if you want to call them that,...I don’t!) believe in socialism and communism and would re-elect this prick clearly show we’re finished??????????

[Doc Savage]

I worked on IBM selectrics and Wang processors. That was not available. Why would you even do it? Even if you could, you’re only typing out a redundant form?

[PieterCasparzen]

Examine the distance between the letters, center-to-center.

Center-to-center.

If it’s not always the same distance center-to-center, it’s a kerned font, and, as grundle says, not produced by a typewriter.

Question for all those sharp legal minds out there: what if way down the road it all comes out in the wash that zero was, in fact, ineligible ? (just imagining :))... Wouldn’t that be something else ?

But, but U K le Lee signed it!

The reason why people would manually adjust kerning is the same reason why it might have been done on a birth certificate. We used to do it so that we could fit more text into blocks on government forms. If you had an extra character or two that wouldn’t fit using normal kerning, you could scrunch it a bit to make it fit. I’m not saying that’s what was done with the Obama birth certificate, but it’s one plausible explanation.
