The birth certificate of the president of America turned out to be fake?
The other day, namely on April 27, the official government site whitehouse.gov was posted the birth certificate of Barack Obama in the form of a pdf-file.
An inquisitive American citizen downloaded this pdf file and opened it in the Adobe Illustrator program. It turned out that the file is a fake. And, rather low quality. The saddest thing is that the one who forged the document forgot to flatten the layers. Apparently, he did not know that when saving from illustrator to pdf, all layers are saved.
An American citizen puts a multi-part video investigation on YouTube (for now 4 series). Series One:
The fact that a fake birth certificate of the president was posted on the government website makes you wonder. The fact is that Obama’s opponents have repeatedly stated that the current president was not born in the state of Hawaii, as he claims, but in another country in general. According to the US Constitution, a citizen born outside the United States cannot be selected as president.
Whether they already left for an American citizen is unknown.

Update 2
Habrapamer Lachezis in his comments gave a link to the video, explaining how it happened. It seems that before posting the scanned certificate, it was driven through optimization (the “Optimize Scan” command in Adobe Acrobat).
The fact that someone began to recognize the text in the birth certificate I did not believe from the very beginning, but the option of optimizing the scanned image looks much more logical.
