Expert: No Doubt Obama's Birth Certificate Is Legit

It didn’t take long for some of President Obama’s doubters to claim the long-awaited birth certificate posted online by the White House on Wednesday had been altered or might be a fake.
But a leading software expert says there’s no doubt about its authenticity, and he dismisses claims of fraud as flat-out wrong.
The doubters have latched onto the idea that Adobe Illustrator — the premier program for computer graphic artists — “reveals” evidence of document manipulation in the Obama birth certificate. They note Illustrator reveals nine separate layers of the document, and claim it’s “proof” the file has been altered.
But that’s not so, says Jean-Claude Tremblay, a leading software trainer and Adobe-certified expert, who has years of experience working with and teaching Adobe Illustrator.
“You should not be so suspicious about this,” Tremblay told FoxNews.com, dismissing the allegations.
He said the layers cited by doubters are evidence of the use of common, off-the-shelf scanning software — not evidence of a forgery. “I have seen a lot of illustrator documents that come from photos and contain those kind of clippings—and it looks exactly like this,” he said.
Tremblay explained that the scanner optical character recognition (OCR) software attempts to translate characters or words in a photograph into text. He said the layers cited by the doubters shows that software at work – and nothing more.
“When you open it in Illustrator it looks like layers, but it doesn’t look like someone built it from scratch. If someone made a fake it wouldn’t look like this,” he said.“Some scanning software is trying to separate the background and the text and splitting element into layers and parts of layers.”
Tremblay also said that during the scanning process, instances where the software was unable to separate text fully from background led to the creation of a separate layer within the document. This could be places where a signature runs over the line of background, or typed characters touch the internal border of the document.
“I know that you can scan a document from a scanner most of the time it will appear as one piece, but that doesn’t mean that there’s no software that’s doing this kind of stuff,” he said, adding that it’s really quite common.
“I’d be more afraid it’d be fake if it was one in piece. It would be harder to check if it’s a good one if it’s a fake,” Tremblay said.

And just who is Jana WInter and why should we believe her? The best forensic experts in the world spent months examining this document and painstakingly concluded it was a fake--see the results of the Arpaio investigation for details. You leftists who continue to defend the indefensible have Benghazi blood on your hands. Obama is a monster who lied to all of us about the murders of not only the 4 Americans in Benghazi but also Brian Terry.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing released to the public in that man's past that I would accept as fact. Nothing.

Obama built this into an important topic for some. Had he immediately released a birth certificate when people stated asking this would not be an issue and it would be done with, over, passed.
Now that it is become more evident than ever that Obama is a pathological serial liar and capabale of all sorts of coverups this birther thing is sounding all the more plausible. He is neither honest nor trustworthy to which either there isn't any degree. You are either honest or you are not. You are either trustworthy or you are not.
What about the "African American" term rather than the correct language on a document of that age? My guess would be she is just another liberal democrat trying to prop up the lies.
ReplyDeleteRe: "What about the "African American" term rather than the correct language on a document of that age?"
ReplyDeleteANSWER: First it does not say “African-American.” It says “African.” Only African.
The explanation is simple. In Hawaii you were allowed to use any word you wanted to describe your race. There was no checklist, and no one stood over you saying what you had to enter. There are entries in Hawaii of people listing their race as “American.” So you were allowed to use any word you wanted.
And what was the word that African exchange students commonly used to describe their race in the 1960s? Answer: African.
Well, either the video is fraudulent or Obamas certificate is. The Ann D... signature sure looks artificial.
ReplyDeleteAnd the layers are man made, no software in the world can produce layers lika that, it passes the Turing test flying colors.
