Direct from the White House's official page, so you know I'm not feeding you the wrong one.
As soon as you look at this thing, you know something's up with it. Its obviously crafted in photoshop. You can see the edge of what would be the "real" paper form on all four sides, but most obviously on the left. There it is bowed upwards as though bound into a book and placed on a photocopier. But if that is the case, how does it mesh seamlessly with the official birth certificate background pattern?
I investigated. I opened up the .pdf file with photoshop and.... care to guess at what I found?
Layers.
Lots of layers.
For those unfamiliar with photoshop, a large part of the "magic" of the program in being able to make almost anything possible is the ability to "layer" a piece of image material over another. Often images that you see on the internet were meshed together with several layers before being saved into the image file format that you end up seeing.
Proof? Someone posted a video of them playing with the layers in photoshop. This is a hand-crafted fake birth certificate. Take a look.
Don't get me wrong. I think he's as American as you and me- he walks, talks, acts like an American. Why the hell does he need to have a fake birth certificate created when he can just get a copy of a real one? Something doesn't add up.
