The Enterprise June 5 editorial addressed the Obama birth issue assuming all is well. The fact that President Obama was unwilling or unable to provide a birth certificate in response to a court order in August of 2008 and has avoided doing so for so long is really strange and suspicious.
Any American born in the United States in 1961 can readily and quickly obtain an official birth certificate, as many of us have done to apply for a passport. Why was it such a big deal for him?
After continuous badgering by Donald Trump, the White House released the so-called long-form birth certificate as a computer PDF file on its website on April 27. However, that PDF contains hidden computer layers that seem to clearly show how this document was altered.
These do not appear to be the result of optical character recognition computer software as some have claimed, but rather purposeful alterations. Anyone can verify this using Adobe Illustrator to open the original PDF released on April 27. Google “orangegold1 obama birth certificate fake” for more information.
In this computer age, any electronic record is vulnerable.
