Are you kidding me??? It's a hatchet job... I could do better in MS paint!
I have always thought that the birther issue was a non-starter and not much point arguing about, but seriously... This!??!
Please tell me that the white house is trololololol, because this is simply unbelievable. You would have to be an idiot to believe this is real!
I got an email with a link to an infowars youtube video... Now, i generally send very rude emails back to these birther idiots explaining how their lack of a grasp on technology simply highlights their stupidity... But this. Holy... Wtf?

Apparently if you load the pdf in illustrator there are layers... fail. I'll check it myself.

Funny, but the government trolling and lying to you is a very common thing, it happens every day.
By the way, why would it matter if he was born in the us or not? People voted for him, that isn't suddenly invalid because he wasn't born in the us.

Yes it is. You have to be a natural born citizen in order to be president of the US (this is why Arnold Schwartzenneger or however you spell his name can be governator but could never run for president. He is a US citizen, but a natural born german citizen) (of course, liberals generally don't know this because most of the time they've never heard of the constitution unless it was their toilet paper

).
If it were found/proved that he wasn't, he would at the least, be impeached, thrown out of office and would probably have to serve prison time. It's quite a serious offense.

Just because there are layers doesn't mean its forged. It is probably just software recognizing and segmenting certain parts of the image. Many pdf scanners segment parts of the image, i.e. cut off white areas to save space. OCR software also does segmenting.
No forger would be this stupid anyway.

You would think. However, the only reason I can think of for layers would be OCR, but if you look at it in illustrator, and the individual layers... I venture to say that that is not a product of OCR'ing. There is a lot in each of the layers that is significant to raise eyebrows.
Personally, the birther thing to me, is an issue of principle. I myself don't really give a fuck where he was born. He grew up here, so for me that works. But based upon principle, knowing the truth is important.
Whoever scanned this in is a colossal idiot, regardless. Assuming that it is only a scan and that it's legit.
For example, omnipage will do some weird shit with ocr when you scan shit in, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do crap like this. I'm tempted to torrent omnipage and have a look for myself.
Also, if you have a look at the BG, it doesn't look scanned. Moreover, a scan of a piece of white paper would have not produced a tiled background everywhere that there is white, or even half white (white being transparency).
This document was definitely altered where the bg is concerned (but for all I know it could be as simple as some retard intern thinking that a pretty background would be a good idea).

Oops, you are correct. I was going from (apparently faulty) memory.
Edit: WRT the bkg, I'm 100% sure that it was scanned in as an OCR PNG. The white would be transparent. But a graphics noob wouldn't know horseshit from peanut butter. So said noob ends up with a layered png. Our noob then places the image in microshit word 2010 and sees OMG PRETTY BACKGROUNDS!!!! SQUEEEE!!! And selects one, saves as pdf (this part I have trouble explaining, because you can't just save as pdf... even adobe's own pdf converter rasterizes everything and sends a new image via fake printer port (which means it gets converted to RAW) to acrobat for pwnification into pdf), and posts online.
As said, I have trouble explaining the saving part... Ahh shit, I just let doubt in again. Is RAW capable of layering?

Please don't be a total ignorant idiot. Like conservatives care about the Constitution? Those communists your county fears so much probably would care more about your consitution than any us government party.
You have been tricked by your government. Let me tell you something, every party will want to you hate the other parties. Why? If you hate x party you will support y party and believe their crap. This distracts you from the real issues in the world. We are standing on the edge of a huge cliff, and we are currently setting the next step into the cliff. Our current system and the ignorance of most people ('sheep') makes us believe this is not the truth, because it keeps boosting us up a little bit, however, after that we will drop again and we will be a little closer to the huge drop than before.
If you're the kind I think you are then you will laugh my statement off. Just keep it in mind and think about it when even you can't deny the signs anymore.

I think he may have confused the term "democrats" and "conservatives". And of course the Democrats care about the constitution, that's why they passed a bill granting themselves an exemption from it and made sure they committed their crimes against peoples inalienably rights outside of the continental United States... (obvious troll is obvious)

This certainly is a conspicuous looking document.
But still you would think the president of the united states would have a better forger on his staff, so it doesn't make any sense.

Well my initial reaction is "WhiteHouse obvious troll is obvious", but seriously, the WH trolling? Wtf is happening to this country (if that were the case)?
None of this shit makes any sense anymore.

This one of the main reasons the two-party system must be abolished in the US.
