So his computer is jacked up or he was lying right? Either way, strike three for the birthers on here.

I don't get why the people saying this is OCR aren't understanding this. If it was from OCR the text would be text, it would be searchable as text, it would be editable. This is not the case. It is layered as images not text. This does not confirm that it is a forgery but it does bring up the question as to why this is in layers. OCR is a reasonable explanation if the text was saved as text but it's not.
Like I said, the white house IT folks are not stupid. If they allowed people to hack away at this PDF then it would be posted on other websites as a FAKE.
The government can listen to ants talking pig latin. Why couldn't they prevent nuts from hacking away at a PDF file?

OCR Program style, not necessarily saved as OCR format. All objects could have been treated as a bitmap, including the text. Look up OmniPage.

Forget about the BC for a moment.
Do you realize how brain washed you sound.
Theres no sense in questioning the government because they are the best and brightest and wouldnt make a mistake.
Look around you, Look at the direction this country is heading in and ask yourself if these people are infallable as you make them out to be.
They make mistakes like everyone else, especially people with power who are filled with hubris.

What state/association requires a long form BC for that?
You are talking about the take home BC aren't you?...the one with foot prints.
Tell me what state and/or league you played so I can look this up.
