Ask HN: Is Obama's long form birth certificate a forgery? It has a text layer!

Ok, I am the furthest thing from a birther. However, after reading some of what appeared to be utter b.s., I downloaded the birth certificate and opened it in Adobe Illustrator CS5.

My heart dropped to the floor when I found there are actually layers containing the text on the certificate which you can hide.

I am no CS expert, but it appears there is a serious chance this is a forgery. All I can say, is holy fucking crap, please tell me I'm wrong. Anyone?

The certificate:

Wacko forum where I was hinted about this. Maybe they aren't wackos after all?
