Why the Obama Birth Certificate is a Bust

The Obama Birth Certificate presents far more questions than answers:

First of all, it is not a source document or even a direct copy of a
source document. It is an electronic document (PDF) seemingly derived
from an OCR process that treats some portions of the document as images
and some as characters. At best, it is a second generation document that
emulates the original but is not an exact copy. Because of this, one
cannot ascertain whether the variations between the original and the
OCR-derived document distort the data, either intentionally or
unintentionally. At worst, it is a forgery.


snip extensive b.s.

As Fox News pointed out, this, and the rest of your Insanosphere nonsense,
is a fiction based on the fact that your "experts" apparently didn't realize
that it's a common thing that integrated scanning and OCR software does. And
to an expert, it's clear that it was the software trying to OCR the
typewritten text and the handwriting, not to someone intentionally
manipulating it.

Sticking to conservative sources, note that _National Review_ points out
that it's also common with Acrobat.

The image released by the White House, which the Insanosphere denizens are
analyzing, is indeed a PDF:

As Phil Silvers said in "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum"
about his virgin, you got a bum "expert."
