I have been working with image editing of all types using Photoshop since around 1992, and have a fair understanding of the issues.
The document is clearly, undeniably and unarguably faked.
And an amateurishly faked one, too. They use the same kind of techniques that will pass muster if someone asks to see the document, examines it for a few seconds (such as at a checkpoint or such) but it is almost disturbing that someone on their team would release a document like that for public scrutiny that they knew people would be examining in detail.
I frame this issue in terms of the rule of law, and Obama is at the top of that chain, leading it (supposedly). If he can break the law with impunity, then the rule of law means nothing, and we are doomed as a republic.
That is how I frame it. Anyone who thinks this is not important is mistaken.
I agree with you. When he released this forgery, it was as though he was giving those of us who believe in the rule of law the finger. Btw, he has literally done that on many occasions. Does anyone but me find that soooo juvenile?
Thanks for an expert confirmation.
People say things like that that and then it turns out they don't understand manual typewriters or fountain pens or rubber stamps or binding documents in books or anything about office procedure fifty years ago.
Maybe a little less bravado is in order. If birth certificate 2.0 is a forgery, why not admit that one isn't an expert and that it's a pretty good one, as far as it goes? If there is a forger, and you give him his due rather than insult him, maybe more people will go for these theories.
