[SassyIrishLass]

It's fake, it was created with Adobe, Adobe didn't exist in the early sixties. This is common knowledge for anyone paying attention, maybe you should stick to homosexual threads and agendas where you will be more "comfortable"

It was converted to an Adobe .pdf file to post on the internet, pinhead!

It was created with Adobe, pinhead. Seven layers and they can tell you what program was used to create each letter and why it was used. It doesn't help they got the hospital name wrong also...the name of the hospital wasn't that name until six or seven years AFTER Obama was born.

It's a fake....pinhead

You don't create anything in Adobe Acrobat, the application that creates pdf files. You create the document in a graphics program like Quark Express, Microsoft Word, InDesign, etc and that document is made into a pdf by Adobe Acrobat Distiller. If you then open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat Professional, Acrobat randomly creates layers where none previously existed.

Wrong, Adobe Acrobat will create it, there are two versions of Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Pro would do it.

Yup. But again, you're speaking logically and rationally, using evidence. This has nothing to do with the birther conspiracy, which is purely emotional. So what is the point?

Except he/she is inocrrect

 

[Jarhead]

Whats the big deal? Why doesn't he release his college transcripts?? All the other presidents have.

Claudette- you have claimed this before- and I asked you then- what makes you think that?

Here is a list of the last few Presidents- tell me which Presidents have voluntarily released(not illegally leaked) his own college records?

Bush 2
Clinton
Bush 1
Reagan
Carter

How about a link to Bush 1 college records?

Was there much interest in those other president's collegiate records?

Fascinating- Claudette lies that all other President's have released their college transcripts- I point out her lies- and you respond- trying to change the subject?

Why do you think Birthers- several times in this thread- have lied about other President's and Candidates releasing their records and claiming that Obama acted differently?

Does it really matter that much about the other presidents? With Obama it does to many and can make a huge difference.

Does it matter for any President?
Why do you think it matters when it comes to Obama?
And how would it make any difference?

it became a legitimate question in regard to Obama because as his campaign excelled, the question of his lack of experience...not just political, but experience in the private sector as well....became an issue the campaign found themselves faced with. So, if you recall, the talking points about the young Senator from Chicago made a transformation and became, "he is an extremely intelligent man who has experienced life from the bottom up"..

That opened the door to "how do we know he is as intelligent as you claim" and "why cant we find anything about his childhood"

Not taking a position here....just showing you that as much as you want to make this a "racial issue", it never really was. Sure, for the few racists out there....but not for the masses that really wanted to know what makes the guy so special.

True story.

Oh, 'he/she' is quite correct. I work in illustrator, acrobat, OCR software and photoshop daily. The layers are inevitable. If you have a scanner, acrobat and illustrator, I can give you about 8 steps to demonstrate it for you.

But again, anything a birther doesn't want to believe, a birther ignores. Evidence and reality are utterly irrelevant to them. Only the conspiracy matters.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

He must be hiding something awfully embarrassing.

Why do you believe that?

Are you hiding something awfully embarressing?

With such intense interest, it is a distinct possibility. Questions don't come out of thin air.

Ah....so now your claims are valid because they exist?

That's an argument you could only measure using pi.

Why cause so much distrust over such an easy thing to fix?

How easy is it to fix? By your logic, all Obama had to do to resolve the entire Birther consnpiracy is release his COLB. And it would all go away.

It didn't. Birthers will ignore anything they don't want to believe. So what's the point is presenting birthers with evidence when they don't use it?

Worse, the birthers can't back anything they've made up. For example, they claim he's a foreign exchange student. Prove it.

Birthers is just an excuse and a term used only in partisanship. Be forthright. There should not be so many questions around such basic fundamentals surrounding a president. The president owes the people a most basic understanding of his past. Since the other presidents had a far more traditional past, that was different.

No, Acrobat Pro creates the pdf from an already existing document file by using Acrobat distiller, Acrobat Pro does not create the original document from scratch. Whatever program made the document Hawaii supplied, for arguments sake lets say it was Quark, if that quark document was posted on line, only people with the $600 Quark application could open it. That is why Acrobat Distiller is used to convert the document to a pdf file that everyone can open with the free cross platform Acrobat Reader.

Why is it 'different'? We know far more of Obama's past than we do almost any other president. I can show you pictures of his school registration forms. I can tell you the name of his kindergarten teacher. I know where his stepfather went to school. I can show you pictures of Obama's year book photos. Quotes from friends and acquaintances.

Why would this be insufficient when far less was more than sufficient for every other president?

Be honest.

We need substance and college records would be a great start. No other president spent a good portion of their childhood growing up overseas.

 

[mudwhistle]

Incredible! I think we now know why?
rt

Is that the new figure Birthers have made up?

It seems to be outpacing inflation....why I can remember when Birthers only claimed it was 1 million dollars.....they grow up so fast.....

No shit Sherlock. People are still trying to get them opened up and Obama is still fighting it in court. That costs money.

True story.

He's got an autobiography out. Have you read it? I suspect you'd learn quite a bit about his childhood if you did.

True story.

I have read many autobiography's. I did not read his. An autobiography is based strictly on what the subject wants us to know. If it were as simple as an autobiography, people would not have to vet their candidates. All they would have to do is read the autobiography.

Truth is Skylar, and in no way does this mean to come out as an insult....many did this...

You voted for a man you knew very little about. You voted for a man who painted himself in a way you liked. You only know about him what he wants you to know about him...and it all could be true. But maybe it isn't. Think about this..

Lets look at what was public record first....

He claimed to be bi partisan and assured us he would work in a bi partisan way....yet his record as a state senator and then a US senator showed absolutely no indication of being bi partisan. He had voted 90% party line and 10% present. He had never co sponsored a bill with a colleague from across the aisle. Yet all believed he was bi partisan because...well....he said he was.

Now lets look at what we don't know....

His handlers got word out he was unusually intelligent. Sounds good. After all, he went to Harvard. But didn't I hear people say that just because Bush went to Yale, it doesn't mean he is smart? More obvious to me as a business owner.....His only job after law school was with a law firm. His primary role was contract review.....for over 3 years....never promoted...never made partner...never made junior partner. (in most law firms, contract review is performed by a paralegal who specializes in proof reading).

So seeing his transcriptts could have sealed the case for him. But he refused.

So we were forced to decide for or against him strictly on the ASSUMPTION that he was unusually bright.

Good reason for people to want proof.

You should notify Joe the Sheriff immediately that you discovered the birth certificate Obama had posted online is a copy and not an original. Hopefully, such a fantastic discovery can reinvigorate his otherwise dead investigation into the truth over Obama's birth certificate.
