Download the image of the birth certificate.

Open it in Photoshop or another graphics program.

Zoom in on the bottom left of the document.

Read the evidence, unless you wish to believe that the word LASER was imprinted on birth certificates issued in 1961.

The document was generated 40 years after the fact which is why there is no mention of the name of the hospital, its address, the weight and length of the baby or the names of the attending physicians.

Do you really think that in 1961 that black people were referred to as an African in regards to race? That was before civil rights. The fathers race would have been listed as "Colored" or "Negro" but not "African" which was even more suspicious than the perfect helvetica text where typewritten text should have been present.

It is a modern document and was not presented as such which is deceitful and disingenuous.

The source of the document that was presented to http://stopthesmears.com presumably would have come from Obama since the State of Hawaii will not give it out to anyone else.

The image of the "birth certificate"

The text as I read it:

"OHSM 1.1 (Rev. 11/01) LASER"

Trolls do not post links to back up their arguments or claims. Trolls also will look at evidence and dismiss it as not meaning anything.

Troll away!

There just so happens to be a blank form online so you can make your own Hawaiian birth certificate:

Notice the text on the bottom left is the same one as the Obama document?

" OHSM 1.1 (Rev. 11/01) LASER"

Isn't that a coincidence?

Now look at the TIME OF BIRTH.

"7:24 PM"

What is the time of birth for Obama?

"7:24 PM"

Isn't that a coincidence?

HEY! The both have OAHU as the Island of Birth!

Isn't that a coincidence?

THIS IS AN AMAZING SET OF COINCIDENCES!

But let's look at it in Photoshop.

You know something?

OAHU is just exactly one pixel higher than the HONOLULU on either side of it.

Close, but no cigar.

How do you suppose THAT happened?

Same document, same revision, same date of printing, same time of birth, same island and a one pixel error in the placement of the word HONOLULU.

Far be it from me to suggest that it is a FAKE!

You be the judge.

Look and see if OAHU isn't one pixel higher than HONOLULU.

Well, maybe Karl Rove put the blank online but someone else didn't line up OAHU with HONOLULU.

Do you really want someone that sloppy to be President?

VOTE NADER!

Throw the bums out!

I now assume that the left bottom text is simply the id and version number of the template for the document. They probably still have that on them.

The time of birth and the island is the only coincidence. The misalignment of text on a single ine is clear evidence of image manipulation. Even if you use a line or box as a guide, sub pixel alignment is problematic. HONOLULU was added to the template with OAHU and it was not aligned properly. If the letters on your paper money were not lined up they would be fake and the same can be said of the document. Typical word processors do not allow for sub pixel placement of text characters. This was probably done with Photoshop.

It appears as if your candidate or one of his staff manufactured evidence to counter the claim that he was not born in the USA. Open it up in photoshop and use a new layer to make a rectangle the length of the document. use the cursor to raise it up to the bottom of the word HONOLULU. Then scroll over to OAHU and see that it is one pixel higher than the rectangle.

It is plain and simple.

You will not do it because you are simply trolling.

You prefer a candidate who has done a sloppy job of forgery in order to silence a legitimate question.

As for McCain, he was born on a military base and that is an exception to the rule. McCain will not bring this up because, like Kerry, he is there just to provide some excitement, not become President. He will not challenge Obama on this. The election is phony.

I don't work for Nader. I serve NO MAN.

Now get off my lawn thou filthy troll and good cheer and blessings to you and yours! (the worst one may do to a troll) For the truth is before you and you pretend it is a wet fart and who can blame you because when it come to this election

On the line which has HONOLULU OAHU and HONLULU, the word OAHU is one pixel higher than the two instances of HONOLULU.

This is not the result of word processing but image manipulation.

The Time of Birth is 7:24 PM and the Island is OAHU which is exactly the same as a template of the Hawaiian birth certificate freely available on the web. This is the likely source for the forgery.

compare it with Obama's:

By going to Hawaii and "fixing" the problem, Obama has set himself up as the source of the "legitimate" document which now looks to be Photoshopped from a template. How easy is it to buy off a state official? How about if you are going to be President?

It appears that a fraudulent document was produced to answer a legitimate question.

No one cares, full speed ahead, he will make a fine Republican President.

No no no, not McCain, that one!
