    That's something for DemocRATs to expound on.

    So you have no alternative explanation to your ludicrous delusions except "it's a fraud! a conspiracy being covered up by the entire government, both democrats and republicans!"


    Yeah, that seems so logical.


    Does anyone honestly think that Ann Dunham flew to Kenya in 1961 to give birth to Obama, and then come back and tryed to make it look like he was born in the US? In what universe does that make any sense at all?

    Dude - if you paste something into Paint, it resizes itself. Didn't you know that?

    Yep, that's obvious.

    What a coincidence, isn't it, that MS Paint was smart enough to keep the printed standard form text consistent, and only mucked up the few spots on certain dates and names. Generally when a program performs a resizing algorithm, it doesn't care what the document says, but Bill Gates was smart enough to get his very best programmers to write Paint, and they were able to write a bitmap editor that can not only read, but has political awareness, too.

    Fact it that some mayors are complete hate filled dumb fucks who have been reduced (by losing) to being arrogant racist idiots.

    Some mayors should just sit down and shut the fuck up and stop making asses of themselves on a constant basis.

    That's what some mayors should be doing.

    Anyone who claims that their birther beliefs aren't based on racism is completely full of shit.

    Anyone who falls back to the "your racist" argument because they're too stupid to address the subject matter at hand just another neck looking for it's iron collar....the problem being, of course, that there's nothing above the neck to keep the collar from sliding off.

    You really don't know very much, do you?

    Here, let me enlighten you. This is my gift to you - a freebie. No strings attached, and I don't want anything for it. What you do with the information is entirely up to you.

    This whole "kerning" issue - is the work of a junior technical writer named Mara Zebest.

    This person, who worked on technical documents (software manuals) for Adobe and Microsoft, seems to have zero knowledge of what happens to the document after she gets done with it.

    First of all, the image the White House released is a compressed image, which means that many of the original details are unrecoverable. If you want the technical stuff, JPG's are compressed with LZW and DCT, and those compressions are lossy. You have stuff that does the monochrome, and stuff that does the colors. There is no way you could draw conclusions about the original based on the compressed versions. And Zebest is completely naive about these things, for instance she complains about the difference between the 1 and the 4 in the serial number, but if you inspect the image and run it through the compressions, it turns out the 1 gets assigned to the color layer whereas the 4 ends up being monochrome and therefore gets compressed with JBIG. Stuff like that - I mean, in no way is this as simple as looking at a smudged area in a print and saying "yep, forgery".

    Second, every single one of Mara's "concerns" are far more likely to be compression artifacts, and most of the time these types of things are encountered in the professional world, they are explained as such unless there is evidence to the contrary. There is no such contrary evidence in this case.

    Third, we know that the original image released by the White House was created on a Mac with software not written by Adobe. It seems to me, it would be far more productive to pursue this trail, rather than wasting any more time on lossy image compression.

    But, the birthers seem to have never-ending hope, so I guess Mr. Obama did deliver on at least half of his promise, eh?

    I did address it. You're the one who came up empty and had to result to insulting Obama's deceased parent's.


    Are you and neocon screaming for Romney's BC?

    Glad to see you didn't find it in you to address the fact that only the things Obama wanted changed show up as edited in the Paint view.

    That's kind of inconvenient for you people, so you ignore it.


    Just in case your head is shoved too far up Obama's ass to notice, the Mayor has not used the word "kerning" in any of his posts prior to this one. Nor has his discussed kerning.

    The Mayor is discussing the very visible erasures. Now, unless you're willing to argue that MS Paint is intelligent enough to highlight only those, very few, areas that contained information you and Obama wanted hidden, you should discuss why only PARTS of the dates are modified, for example.

    Has anyone ever informed you that your special purpose in life isn't to BE a special purpose?


    And no, only your betters know the origins of that reference.

    So I guess that means you still have nothing but double standards and ludicrous conspiracies that even you can't find logic in.
