Question: If this type of electronic document expertise is available, how does one find non political, absolutely honest person or persons who can verify or disprove this story.

You've just made the implication that I have some sort of ulterior motive in all this. That I set out from the start to discredit Obama. That I am not operating from a position of full disclosure, and total honesty.

I cannot speak for TechDude, but the sole reason I got into my analyses was because the alterations were so obvious, I'd have to be working for the Obama campaign NOT to notice them.

This COLB of his walked, talked, and looked like a duck, and if I said it was a chicken, then I'd be lying.

"I'd have to be working for the Obama campaign NOT to notice them."

I agree with you, but you need to think about your comment above a bit more.  You need to seriously think why a campaign in the post Rathergate, era, a campaign that is smothered in money would produce an image with this poor quality and place it on one of their official sites.

Dirty campaign tricks are not fraud.  You simply cannot go into court and say "but your honor, he put a phony image on his web site" and seriously think you will get any sympathy from the judge.

You have done a very good job of proving the images fake.  What you have failed to do is prove that Obama was not born in Hawai'i in 1961 and is not a natural born citizen.  The problem is the old phrase... So what's that have to do with the price of tea in China?

You raise a lot of questions and offer a lot of theoretical answers... so does Al Gore.
