The Hawaiian long form Obama released in April 2011 gave the father's race as "African", not African-American, but that was still suspect; Mike Zullo on behalf of Sheriff Joe Arpaio cited this among its documentary flaws. The fact that the digital file Obama released had been heavily reworked in Photoshop layers prior to release indicated that it had been massaged by dark ops to prevent it from containing any useful data. That is, there is no way to prove it's authentic on its own merit. OP is a bit different and I need to look deeper before commenting directly on OP.
