The anti birthers can drink the koolaid all they want. My stand is that if he really did have a legitimate long form birth certificate he would have released it long ago. People do not hide things if they have nothing to hide. The fact that it took this long to release such a simple document says to me that they have had plenty of time to create a fake and intimidate anyone who knows the truth. If that document is real and not a recently created fake they could have avoided all the trouble by releasing it from the git go.
BTW and FYI - I do not consider myself a "birther". I am a constitutionalist. I believe that the constitution is one of the documents that truly defines us as a nation and when we subvert them we lose something of our national identity in the process.

The "Signature of the Attendant" was taken care of nicely: a local ob-gyn named David A. Sinclair who conveniently died in 2003 and whose widow happens to be a Democratic party operative and, as Aaron Klein reports today in World Net Daily, an advisor to none other than the Hawaii Health Department.

Hawaii Vital Records Section (updated 7/08) State Department of Health In Hawaii, Dr. Alvin Onaka is the official State Registrar, and when you order a birth or marriage certificate, there must be a "certification letter" attatched from him.

I don't know, I don't really see the odd fashion that this is chopped up in being scanning software related. The text is different fonts, different shades of black, different levels of transparency. I've scanned a lot of different documents, with a lot of different sofeware packages and settings. Never seen anything as odd as this.

OCR makes the text searchable. The text in this document is not searchable by the text that it contains because the text is saved as an image layer. This would defeat the whole purpose of using OCR.
Would that in an of itself mean that the OCR theory is bunk? Wouldn't it be searchable if OCR was the true culprit in this? I can understand the OCR theory (even though I can't seem to reproduce it with Obama's LFBC), and I could see why the "default" setting would be to have OCR turned on.

One thing that I have not seen discussed in this thread is the fact that the White House says they received paper documents from Hawaii, not scanned documents through email or something. If anyone scanned the birth certificate in question, it happened in DC. Repeating, the White House says it received hardcopy documents, by hand, from Hawaii.
