“All this ‘birther’ bull# sounded like more of the same to us,” adds Rivera. “We knew that the people who believed that Obama was born in Kenya — and that his Hawaiian birth certificate was a fake, and that he therefore had no constitutional right to be president — wouldn’t be convinced by this long-form release. When you’re crazy, you’re crazy, and you can always find a way to justify your craziness. But we figured it couldn’t hurt to at least head them off on this whole typography question. Here at High Tech High, we knew we had the equipment, the training, and the critical thinking skills required to do just that.” “Yeah, we did,” concluded Bhangoo. “Damn it.” The title of the students’ report on their work says it all: “Say It Ain’t So: An Inquiry into the Validity of ‘President’ Obama’s Long-Form Birth Certificate.” “We tried to think like the nutjobs,” recalls Rivera. “We started by asking why they inserted the green-pattern background underneath the original text. Then we started looking for other obvious oddities. Long story short — yeah, this is kind of a fake.”
“You don’t really have to look further than the child’s name,” says Bhangoo. “The way the ‘r’ in ‘Barack’ differs in all sorts of ways from the rest of the letters, the way the green background fades away around certain parts of ‘Hussein’ and ‘Obama.’ It’s a Photoshop job, and not even a particularly careful one. We did a little followup work and found a death certificate for a Herbert Harrison O’Brien from the same hospital, dated August 5, 1961. The date of birth on that death certificate is given as August 4, same as little Barack Hussein Obama. But the funny thing is, there’s no corresponding birth certificate for baby Herbert. Where did it go? And why doesn’t Obama’s mother sign his birth certificate until August 7, three days after her son is born? By then, we were too depressed to dig any deeper.”

has that video been debunked? This kid seems to have taken every stop possible here
Its a legimate link as Obuma is a phony crony. Ask yourself how a guy who has done done nothing suddenly comes from Chigago, the most corrupt city on the States to become president ans fills his government choc a bloc wth Rothchild Zionists, including his gay sauna bum chum Rham Emanuel. Then he wins the Nobel Peace Prize for starting 2 more wars,and pretends to kill OBL all the while giving his unbridled support for the Nazi genocidal state of israel.

That's it?
They found that the "r" didn't match up, and the background fades, and his mom signed it 3 days later?
And then they were supposedly 'too depressed' to continue studying the document? Is this for real?
.
Why is this featured in a section called "Almost Factual News"? Is the entire story meant as a joke? It certainly seems that way.
In a good-natured effort to sweeten the pot for the president prior to his final decision, High Tech High seniors Ramesh Bhangoo and Christina Rivera decided to subject Obama’s recently-released “long-form” birth certificate to the sort of typographic scrutiny given to the so-called “Killian documents” that ultimately led to the resignation/retirement of CBS reporter Dan Rather.

Everyone who says it is a fake for these reasons is ignorant.
They don't understand how their fancy software works
AND
They don't understand how birth certificates are printed out onto special paper to make them more difficult to forge.
See my previous posts on this subject. I'm tired of pointing out the idiocy.

Brilliant argument. I have to hand it to you, you're a genius. You win the debate. Case closed.
