World Net Daily, Free Republic Post Forged Obama Birth Certificate From Kenya

World Net Daily, Free Republic Post Forged Obama Birth Certificate From Kenya

kenyandocument_c75c2.jpg

World Net Daily has done it! They've finally proven that President Obama was, in fact, born in Kenya:

The document 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. Read on...

There's just one teensy little problem here -- The Republic of Kenya didn't exist until 1964 -- three years after Obama's birth. Right wing blog Little Green Footballs is calling this a hoax, but leave it to the nutbags at Free Republic to take the debunked myth to a whole new level. See, the whole thing ties into the divorce of President Obama's parents!

Judge Samuel P. King who granted the divorce – last I heard was retired and alive (for now) in his 90s in Hawaii -- MAY or MAY NOT have asked to see the Marriage Certificate. BUT, I bet Judge King asked to see Obama JR's Birth Certificate to confirm Ann's claims that Obama SR was in fact the father. That is “standard” policy to have a Birth Certificate in case the mother asks for child support from the father (or Welfare) later after the divorce. Judge King probably told Ann to produce a birth certificate before or at trial, which would have been sometime in mid- to late-February 1964 HAD Obama SR answered his notice that was sent to Cambridge.

When Judge King wrote the order on Jan. 23, he had his clerk notify Obama SR via what's referred to as a "knock and nail". That is, the postman leaves the notification on the door for (generally) 10 days and retrieves it after that time passes -- signed or unsigned. That order was sent on Jan. 23 via airmail from Hawaii and was probably posted on Obama SR's door Jan. 27-28. Read on...

Nevermind the fact that Barack Obama's birth announcement appeared in two Hawaiian newspapers in 1961. Hell, even Karl Rove says it's likely a forgery. You can be sure the Fox News gang will be running with this story, but will CNN's Lou Dobbs continue to go down the Birther path that's killing his ratings and embarrassing the entire network?

Wait, isn't President Obama the Antichrist? My brain hurts. If I could speak directly to every Birther face to face, this is what I would say.

Too bad for the wing nuts there are a number of obvious problems with this document:

Another irregularity is that the document is dated early 1964 while Kenya did not officially become a republic in December 1964. So why does it say “The Republic of Kenya”. In fact the original Kenyan constitution of 1963, Kenya became independent in December 1963, does not use the term republic of Kenya, just Kenya.

More problems have surfaced

  1. It was dated February 14, 1964 and had the designation Republic of Kenya. However that designation was not official until December 1964.

  2. It’s number 44 o 47 is a bit coincidental with 44th president Obama 47th president

  3. The name E.F. Lavender. Earth Friendly Lavender is a detergent

  4. Mombasa did not become part of Kenya until 1963. It used to be part of Zanzibar

  5. The Coast General Hospital is actually called the Coast Provincial General Hospital

  6. There are unconfirmed statements that women who would give birth in 1961 would go to the “Lady Grigg Maternity Hospital” which was later rolled into the Coast Provincial General Hospital.
Below the Beltway raises some other questions:

First of all, there’s a question of why a birth registration record would be issued in 1964 for a child born three years earlier who was not even living in the country at the time. This is significant because any original birth record would be a British colonial record, not a Kenyan record. Kenya was still a British colony in 1961, and did not become independent until December 12, 1963.

Nice try, you demented morons. We needed the laugh.

Scientists uncover lost Venetian city

Venice, the floating city, owes a curious debt to Attila the Hun. " The Scourge of God" sent the Venetians fleeing in 452 A.D. from their city, Altinum, to found Venice deep in the marshes on the edge of the Adriatic.

Ever heard of Altinum? Probably not, as it's been a "lost city" near Venice, Italy, for centuries.

Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

If anyone is fond of 'just the facts, ma'am,' it's you.
Embellishing those facts or adding details that have more to do with wishful thinking than the absolute truth just isn't your style.
Mention all those things to anyone who approaches you now and insists that you give them your opinion on the story they're just dying to share.
Otherwise, mention that you also won't be shy -- or gentle -- about letting them know what you really think.

I always do.
