Congratulations. You guys win, as far as I'm concerned. Gloat away.
For some reason, I don't believe that statement. Could you post a link to a digitally encrypted certified pdf of that statement notarized with a copy of your scout badge and your hand on a fictionalized account of a book extolling the virtues the life and times of our lord and saviour Mickey Mouse?
And don't try any of that Photoshop trickery and image manipulation you are famous for.
Gosh my arm is sore.

Osama is Obama. Ever see them in a photo together? So Obama kills himself (Osama) to make his life easier than running around in circles, being that he was smuggled into the Country (USA) along with other crooks and criminals and terrorists.
Just where was Obama on 9-11?
Is there any proof he is entitled to a Connecticut SS# ?
His father was with the CIA. He was murdered, after some group amputated his legs first
His mother was with the CIA. She died young after playing footsies in threesomes.
Neither one has a birth certificate, baptismal certificate, driver's license, accounting diploma, although there was some money laundering going on.
Obama's paternal grandmother saw him being born in Kenya.
Obama's maternal grandmother died two days after he, alone, went to see her before election 2008.
Obama's mentor, Frank, was a paedophile and pornographer and had nude pictures of Obamas's mother, as a young girl. (They are online.)
Oh Let's get Ann Rice to write a book!
I almost agree completely. I actually thought common sense would have been to release the unedited document if they only planned to release one. But if they choose to edit it, which they have done, then I agree that releasing the unedited as well as the edited documents would make sense at this point.

Actually common sense would dictate to release BOTH to stunt any argument or confusion on the issue.
One - a straight copy scan and Two - the fixed up version just for comparisons.
Regarding your comment on their intentions of not flattening the document so people could question the edits, I can only speculate. Was it just intentionally sloppy editing that they forgot to flatten the file because they wanted people to have something to argue about as you suggest? If the person who did the editing came forward and explained what they did and why that might clear this thing up. Releasing the unedited scan along with that explanation might help.
It seems they want to keep the arguments and confusion going for as long as possible by deliberately obscuring and hampering with what should be such a straight forward thing.
The Department of Health made physical copies, probably photocopies, certified them and gave them to Judith Corley, the President’s personal counsel, authorized by the President to pick up the copies.

So I'm still unclear who did the editing found in the pdf, does anyone know? Was it done at the Hawaii DOH, in which case they would have also (apparently?) e-mailed the pdf to Obama, in addition to sending him paper copies? Or did the DOH just send the paper copies to the white house, and all the editing and creation of the pdf was done by the white house? If anyone can clear that up for me I'd appreciate it.
President Obama authorized Ms. Corley to pick up the documents. On April 25, 2011, Ms. Corley appeared in person at the Hawai„i State Department of Health building in Honolulu, paid the requisite fee, and was given the two certified copies, a response letter from Director Fuddy to President Obama, and a receipt for payment
The problem with that is that the birthers cling to every single detail because they simply don’t want to let this issue go, regardless of how much the evidence contradicts and debunks their theories.
Aptness posted a poll showing this release cut the number of questioners in half. If they had released it without the edits it probably would have cut it even further. I don't know how they can botch up something that should be so simple, so I'm reluctant to dismiss your notion even though I don't really want to believe it.
Thanks.

It was someone at the White House that, before posting a scanned image of those copies, added the security paper background, most likely to make it more difficult for alterations to be made by the public.
My understanding is that the WH press corps were given physical copies of the copies the DOH made for the President. This is why they had and displayed the black and white images of the birth certificate.
Nope. Just my deductive reasoning.

Any sources for where or how you got this understanding? Especially the latter?

Hawaii's health director, Loretta Fuddy, responded with a letter of own dated April 25, approving the waiver request. Corley traveled to Hawaii to pick up the documents and carried them back to Washington on a plane. The documents arrived at the White House around 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Thanks for the links. Well if that is the unedited document, I'm not sure why it was edited for legibility as some people are claiming.

None of what you said explains why "BARACK" would be broken into one piece with an "R" and another piece with "BA ACK". Unless you can explain that, I don't find your assessment particularly credible.

He is not American, his name tells me that. I don't need a birth certificate. But it would be good to see him explain this one.

I thought because when the Obama BC is opened in Acrobat and you go to File > Properties > Description > Advanced you see "PDF Producer: MAC OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDF Context" that we know already that the PDF was generated on a MAC using the Quartz compositor/image engine.
Please explain what this whole "PDF Producer: MAC OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDF Context" entry is all about.
