Birthers Claim To Have Found Obama’s Kenya Birth Certificate

California attorney Orly Taitz, one of the leading members of the Birther movement has presented what he claims to be Barack Obama’s Kenya birth certificate.
The Birther movement, for those no familiar with it, claims that US President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, and therefore is not a natural born citizen, a requirement under the US constitution for anyone holding the Office of President. Despite a Hawaiian birth certificate being produced during the election campaign last year, Birthers claim that the Hawaiian document is not a full and proper birth certificate.
The alleged Obama Kenya birth certificate lists Obama’s parents as Barack Hussein Obama and Stanley Ann Obama, formerly Stanley Ann Dunham, the birth date as Aug. 4, 1961, and the hospital of birth as Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.
Despite Taitz apparently filing the document in court and claiming that it’s real, there’s one small problem: the issuing authority. The document is claimed to be a reprint produced in February 1964 (Obama was born in 1961) by “The Republic of Kenya,” but the Republic of Kenya didn’t come into existence until December 1964 according to Wikipedia…and a pile of other independent sources.
100% fake, no question about it, and it’s embarrassing that some conservative sites are saying this is the real deal.

Wow. It's very important that you liberals try everything to disprove the birth certificate. Being as none of you have actually seen his real one I'd say none of you are qualified to dispel anything the internet has to offer, much less one that anybody can go to Kenya and get another copy. What are you going to say if 20 reporters do just that? Obama has spent a lot of money hiding his past for a reason.
Aug 2, 2009
THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS THE REAL DEAL! YOU LIBS WON'T BELIEV YOUR EYES! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU WON'T THROW THE IMPOSTER OUT BECAUSE SARAH PALIN IS GOING TO BE PRESIDENT IN 2012 SOON ENOUGH!!!

Sorry, you fail.
First off, I believe the lawyer is female, not male (you said “he”).
Read the bottom where it says “I…do hereby certify that THE ABOVE IS A TRUE COPY of the entry recorded….”
I have a copy of my Michigan birth certificate. I was born in 1973. At the bottom it says “I hereby certify that the above is a true and correct representation of the vital record facts on file with the Division for Vital Records, Michigan Department of Community Health. Date Issued: October 20, 1999″
Just because that was issued in 1964 *might not* mean anything. The copy of my certificate was issued when I was 26!

I'd actually prefer a Constitution Party candidate, because GOP's no better than Dems.

Mombasa wasn't part of Kenya in 1961. It was part of Zanzibar. Also, “E.F. Lavender” was a colonial official in Australia around the time of the first World War, not a Kenyan.
Sorry, but you lose.
Aug 2, 2009
Hussein is BUSTED!!!! Ha! Ha! You demented leftist assholes will be holding hands in mass suicide as this illegal alien criminal Obama is dragged off in handcuffs. They'll be talking about this historical hoax for a thousand years. Figure that new elections will need to held, probably in late fall 2009. In the meantime, do you think that the government will move to deport Barrack Obama back to his native Kenya?
Aug 2, 2009
Wrong on all counts. Please go launder your robes and let the rest of the country go on about its business. Thank you.
*wonders why father and three uncles served in World War II if this is the sort of slop that passes for “conservatism”*
Aug 2, 2009
Totally fake! Some people just can't do anything good with their life!
Aug 2, 2009
Notice that this entire document is both typeset and filled in in English, not the native Kenyan Swahili. Oops. What will Gumshoe Legal Eagle Tammy Faye Taitz have to say about this?
Aug 2, 2009
Wrong. The document is not a reprint, per se. It's a signed document indicating that there was an original. It likely was produced in 1964 as part of Mr. and Mrs. Obama (Sr.)'s divorce; see the analysis at http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-i-c…
When this document was created in 1964 (based on the 1961 records), Kenya WAS a republic.
Aug 2, 2009
I hope not. We need Ron Paul in 2012, not Sarah Palin.
Aug 2, 2009
I hate citing Wikipedia, but according to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Momba… Mombasa was in Zanzibar, but it was also British territory, and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zanzi… states that Zanzibar did not become independent until 1963. Thus both Kenya and Zanzibar were under British authority in 1961. By 1964, when this document was issued, Mombasa was under sovereign Kenyan control. So what justification do you have to suspect that they WOULDN'T have the original records from when they were mutually British colonies?
Also, Australia has close ties to England, too. The British monarch is still the Australian chief of state. So if there was an E.F. Lavender in Australia, why not one in colonial Kenya?
Aug 2, 2009
You are a moron!! It is signed at the bottom of the page by Joshua Simon Oduya, the deputy registrar of Coast Province of Kenya in 1964. Simply saying that a copy was made in December of 64 when Kenya had gained it's independence. On the top, where the birth occurred, it simply says Mombasa which is a province that had been around for a long, long time before BO was born there. You lose! He needs to GO before he destroys our country!!

If anyone bothers to look at the copy of their own BIrth Certificate they will find that the date they asked for it is on it. Mine is 2003, the year I needed it for my passport.
There is a VERY GOOD Chance that Obama's mother needed it for either a divorce, passport or in 1964???
People ck out your own Birth Certificate and you will find
Aug 2, 2009
I love how the certificate number is 47044
47 = current age of Obama
0 = O = Obama
44 = 44th President
Aug 2, 2009
Actually this is not true
“but the Republic of Kenya didn’t come into existence until December 1964 according to Wikipedia…and a pile of other independent sources.”
The Constitution of Kenya in December 1963 declared themselves a Republic. The British just didn't recognize it until after the elections were held a year later. So internally in Kenya they started using the term Republic right away. The Wikipedia and other sources are written from the British perspective, and may not reflect the internal documents of the Kenyans at the time.

you can always tell who voted for Obama. And just because he's black. but he still sucks ass at politics and making proper allies. white or black – if you suck you suck. i hope he learns quickly as we are stuck with yet another inexperienced leader. poor guy. i almost feel sorry for him. he has to deal with assholes like us all day long. i bet he wished he'd have stayed home now.
Aug 2, 2009
100% fake, no question about it, and it’s embarrassing that some conservative sites are saying this is the real deal.
the only embarrassing thing here is the PRESS
I don't give an dam, liberial's thing there immuniued to this k=ind of politics, but when it hits them straight in there hearts, they will understand exactly that liberisiam = evil
sad when they divide us when we both are wanting the same outcome….consitution is written to protect the people not government, more power we give them the less power we have for WE THE PEOPLE
Aug 2, 2009
and someone please get a notary to examine this document PROPERLY so we can shut the rest of these assholes up.
Aug 2, 2009
Um, you just might be eating your words soon, Duncan Riley. If Obama is truly a natural born citizen (which isn't possible anyways since his father wasn't a citizen, and BOTH parents have to be citizens AND you have to be born IN the US) then he shouldn't have any problem producing the documents. If this is really bothering him that people keep bringing it up, well, he has within his power to produce his documents, so…I blame it all on him. If he wants it all to stop, then SHOW us the documents, Mr. “Most Transparent “….
Aug 2, 2009
Still, there is the problem of the Hawaiian certificate of live birth, the state of Hawaii declaring that Obama's birth certificate is real, and his birth announcement in Hawaiian papers. How did these get there—via a vast conspiracy? I find it hilarious that these birthers rally around anything purportedly proving that Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii while failing to consider the most obvious and problematic evidence discrediting their shenanigans. The birther movement has produced false documents before.
Aug 2, 2009
BobbyG,
English is the official language of Kenya. Duh.
Aug 2, 2009
How could ANYBODY be stupid enough to suggest “president sarah palin”?
Haven't we had enough idiots in that office?
Aug 2, 2009
I think you are in error. The British took control of Mombasa in 1895 when the Sultan of Zanzibar leased the town to the British. It became part of the British East African Protectorate then. The British administered the town so it was Mombasa, Kenya, not Mombasa, Zanzibar and control was turned over to the new Kenyan government in 1963.
Aug 2, 2009
Wrong. Kenya became a republic in the DECEMBER. This is dated February.
Aug 2, 2009
And this is relevant how? The issue is that the reprint is in the Feb of 64… Kenya became a Republic in the DECEMBER of 64.
Aug 2, 2009
If you actually read ALL the history, you'd know that the then Prime Minister declared Kenya a republic in the December of 1964 (he also declared himself President at the same time.) The original Government of Kenya was sworn in by the British appointed Governor General: to suggest that the Kenya's didn't recognize their Government structure at the time is complete rubbish.
Aug 2, 2009
If you really believe Obama is Kenyan, then present real documentation not this obvious forgery.
Aug 2, 2009
are you on perscription medication? you should be. hilarious- you sound like a mental patient who cannot understand reality. sucks to be you ya freakin nut case
Aug 2, 2009
Actually, Kenya became a republic in 1963 when it adopted its Constitution, which plainly uses the word “republic.” See it for yourself: http://kenya.rcbowen.com/constitution/
Aug 2, 2009
No, as I just mentioned in a reply to you above, it technically became a republic in 1963 when it adopted its Constitution. The Kenyan Constitution refers to the government formed thereby as a “republic.” This happened in 1963, thus prior to the alleged issuance of the birth document. http://kenya.rcbowen.com/constitution/
Aug 2, 2009
What's rubbish is that you apparently refuse to even consider the plain wording of the 1963 Kenyan Constitution.
Aug 3, 2009
Just as Zach Jones an Australian put it in the Australia.TO I too feel it would be nice to know that the guy in the Oval office belongs there.
“If Obama is going to cause the destruction of America and Israel, I at least want to know that he was constitutionally empowered as a “Natural Born Citizen” serving as President of the United States to destroy us. I hate to think all this could have been prevented by some state official somewhere doing their job and asking to see proof that Obama was eligible to run for office. That never happened.”

Okay. This a a Certified Copy of a Registration of Birth. In other words this is saying there is a birth certificate on file – read what it says. It says on page 44B Page 5733…this birth is recorded. It can be cross checked. Kenya got its independence from Great Britian in 1963 and became a republic in 1964. Since he was born in 1961 it would make him a British Citizen.
Have a nice day.
Aug 3, 2009
1961 Kenya was under British rule. He's a british citizen. That's just a copy saying there is one on file 44B 4433 (hard to read). Somebody needed this for traveling or something. I hope “somebody” doesn't get to the one on file in Kenya and make it disapear. We should know the truth – finally. If he lied about THIS he would lie about anything and so would our government. They had to have know. Sad.
Aug 3, 2009
Wrong, it was officially declared on dec 12 1964. What that means is that on dec 12 1964 everything from documents to flags to presidential seals to birth certificate documents had been changed over to the new Republic of Kenya. On Dec 13 1963 a day after England gave up control, Kenya started changing over all their documents, flags, etc and as you can imagine it would take about a year. A hospital would only have to change a few documents like birth, death, etc which they could do in a couple months time at most.
And how do I know what I said above to be true? I was born in Kenya in 1964, March and my birth certificate which I am looking at right this second says “Republic of Kenya”.
Of course you will believe Obama's but you won't believe me.
By the way, it has been known for years that Obama was born in Kenya. Why America is just finding out now says something about what is going on.
Aug 3, 2009
It's sad that every American citizen doesn't want the truth. If he's legal, fine. Why would any American citizen not want the truth? Doesn't the truth count for anything anymore? I don't care one way or the other but for God's sake people, let's have the truth. If he's legal, fine. If he's a usurper it would make him the biggest liar and fraud in the history of America. He supposely taught constitutional law! He knows better. If this is true, then he is the worst of the worst. I'll bet the original goes missing. That's the way of politics. But if we could get to the original we would have the truth. Truth! Truth! I'm going to bed!
Aug 3, 2009
Dude, you aren't making sense, please re-read your post. Yes I am sure your BC is for the The Republic of Kenya it was from March of 1964 and your birth country became the Republic of Kenya at least 2 months before your birth. If your birth had been at any time in before Dec. 12, 1963 it would be it would have been certified by the British Colony of Kenya not the Republic of Kenya because it did not legally exist until the Brits gave it up.
Until Barack Obama ran for the office of President of the United States the American people against him didn't know of him and or just didn't care where he was born and that is all it means or says as you stated. Peace Out Brah!

Incredible that a so called News source is actually using Wikipedia to verify facts!!!
Aug 3, 2009
While I don’t doubt that Wikipedia can be very accurate, it is a very common practice to change information on the site for political means (look at what went on W’s wiki entry during his presidency) I checked and according to the CIA it was in 1963 that the Republic of Kenya was founded. the Certification date on the Certificate in the picture you provided is Feb. 17th 1964. So the claim that it is false on that aspect alone is ridiculous.
reference:
Aug 3, 2009
read the bottom line …issued on 17th February 1964 which is AFTER the Republic of Kenya was formed.
Aug 3, 2009
seems genuine on visual appearance…registration date 1961, issue date 1964
Aug 3, 2009
According to Wikipedia, History of Kenya, the Republic of Kenya came into being on December 12, 1963. I know they might have a time lag in getting forms printed up, but this still looks valid to me.
Aug 3, 2009
“The Republic of Kenya,” but the Republic of Kenya didn’t come into existence until December 1964 according to Wikipedia”
That is accurate, for most of Kenya.
BUT – Mombasa was within the 10 mile coastal region leased from Zanzibar.
The 10 Mile Coastal region has been referred to as ‘Republic of Kenya’ since October 1963. This public title change for this region was used as a political ‘big stick’ to heed off re-annexation prior to the country wide name change in late 1964. Kenyatta was used to big sticks – he knew what it meant.
I am sorry, but your reporting assumptions are wrong.

conservatives are such assholes they have no answers or plans of there own they just want the man gone, want to fix the world get rid of the ass hole conservatives.
