2011-05-02 Final Birth Certificate

Gee, now we have typewriters that can kern text?

Good luck with this one folks. Anyone who has followed The Ticker for any length of time should have known I wouldn't wade into this pile without something damn solid up my sleeve. Here it is.

Only in America, could a Muslim rise from obscurity, virtually overnight, to be the President of a nation founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic...

In other words, the preponderance of voters in Amerika are certifiably insane.

Barrack Hessein Obama is guilty of felony fraud and has gotten away withit for almost 4 yrs.

He is above the law apparently .

Who cares if Obama's birth-cert is fake or not; it would appear no-one's got the balls to do anything about it anyway; I mean, I'da thought the race-hate groups woulda outted him for skin-tone alone......leave the man to laugh in your faces already.

I agree it's odd, but not conclusive... I typed a lot when I was young... and I often had to manually adjust the spacing when I made a mistake. Yes, the typewriter cannot do that, but a human running the typewriter can.

my point is the "1"'s should be the same angle and not a zero changed to a one? he was born in 1960 not 61 his mom met his dad in 1959 during cuba block aid in summer of 59 and in fall i am sure they did it, thus born in 1960 ,i bet all his sealed school doc.s are private because its easyer to change 1 than all of them , i think the baby was brought in 10 or so days after he was born and at 1 yo could have passed for a 10 day old if he was a small sickly baby

@koolratrods, (cont.) This is exacerbated by the “Optimize Scanned PDF” function of the Paper Capture subsystem, which is AUTOMATICALLY INVOKED if you simply scan any document DIRECTLY into Acrobat (as opposed to scanning it with some other program, saving a .TIFF or .BMP or some such, then opening that into Acrobat).

This function among other things turns the gray tones of scanned letters black, exacerbating the effect of the pixel grid.

[COMALiteJ]

@koolratrods, Do you know how scanners work, and in particular, how Adobe Acrobat Pro’s Paper Capture subsystem works? The “1”s are not parallel for the same reason that the lines on the paper curve at the left: the certified copy was printed from a copy bound in a book, which caused the paper to be somewhat curved (especially at the left edge, but slightly throughout). Since scanners do not “see” letters but only PIXELS, they simply align what they see to the pixel grid.

@COMALiteJ its not the "a's" look at the "1" in 1961 .........why are the "1"'s not paralel , wish this guy would have pointed out those .......to me the ones are both on a dif angle and if it was printed with same typewriter they would be on same angle ?........the "0" or zero was removed and a "!" one was inserted ,he was born in 1960 folks ,in "summer of '59 his parents met during cuba crisis that summer and year later or 9 months later and being a small baby passed for a 61 birth

@kdenninger: “Look vertically under the ‘a’ I outlined. There’s a CAPITAL ‘A’ in vertical alignment. Well, if that one was sloppy, or the CARRIAGE POSITION was sloppy, the capital ‘A’ would appear ‘Kerned’ too.”

Not necessarily. It’s a mechanical action thing (tolerances), and is not necessarily repeatable even with the same letter-hammer (the “A” and “a”) and the same carriage position “notch.” The amount of force that the typist used on that and previous letters, etc. all have an effect.
