FORGED? Obama Birth Certificate Released

FOXNews reported that the White House released President Obama's long form birth certificate. While I'm not a birther and don't buy into conspiracy theories, the released document has been tampered with and changed, and badly at that. The document FOXNews reports from the White House does not appear to be a valid birth certificate.

Here is a link to the original PDF file.

The Adobe PDF file has quite a few visual discrepancies. Here is the original that I've converted into a JPEG file so we can view it in Blogger. Click on it for a full-size version.

When I imported the original PDF document into Adobe Illustrator, I found ten different elements which makes up the image, including cut and pasted text and the well-known "Certificate of Live Birth" pasted on top of the green form.

Here's a look at the form, with all the elements outlined in bright red and with the Certificate of Live Birth form offset on the background. Click on it for a full-size version.

This is a manipulated document.
