Attorney files motion for authentication of Obama's alleged 1960s birth certificate from Africa

Yes, I know. It's the WND. But it's also gotten more than 4,500 hits on FreeRepublic. So it's something, at least, interesting (albeit false) in the development.

Get ready for this DU.

-------------

WASHINGTON – California attorney Orly Taitz, who has filed a number of lawsuits demanding proof of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president, has released a copy of what purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth and has filed a new motion in U.S. District Court for its authentication.



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.

No doctor is listed. But the alleged certificate bears the signature of the deputy registrar of Coast Province, Joshua Simon Oduya. It was allegedly issued as a certified copy of the original in February 1964.

WND was able to obtain other birth certificates from Kenya for purposes of comparison, and the form of the documents appear to be identical.

So, it contains less info, and isn't what the freepers demanded of, Obama's Birth Certificate. But it agrees with their POV, so it's obviously truthful.

FYI, this is a warning. Get ready, cause the crazy's about to start.

2. She's actually going into court with that thing?
I imagine the judge will have only one response after taking a look at her "evidence" ...
"Lady, are you freakin' kidding me?!?"

:rofl:

8. Thanks for posting. The fact that it was dated on a Sat. and is Republic before it was a Republic
alone seem dispositive.

11. plus these other notes thereabouts (some repeats)
Edited on Mon Aug-03-09 01:22 AM by tomm2thumbs
First, the hospital is Coast Provincial General Hospital (sometimes said to be Coast Province General Hospital), not Coast General Hospital.

Second, Kenya was a Dominion the date this certificate was allegedly issued and would not become a republic for 8 months.

Third, Mombasa belonged to Zanzibar when Obama was born, not Kenya.

Fourth, Obama's father's village would be nearer to Nairobi, not Mombasa.

Fifth, the number 47O44-- 47 is Obama's age when he became president, followed by the letter O (not a zero) followed by 44--he is the 44th president.

Sixth, EF Lavender is a laundry detergent.

Seventh, would a nation with a large number of Muslims actually say "Christian name" (as opposed to name) on the birth certificate?

Eighth, his father (born in 1961) would have been 24 or 25 when he was born and not 26.

Ninth, it was called the "Central Nyanza District," not Nyanza Province. The regions were changed to provinces in 1970.

24. True, but being a non-american country
it would be in french as well.
Many documents - at least here in holland - are done in dual Dutch/French, french being the old international language.
it would make sense of the documents of that time were also done in french dual for the same reason.

I know, logic and freepers don't go together LOL.

but it was an intriguing Q i felt needed to be asked, more hole poking :)

on paper? The Dutch never used paper for birth certificates in the northeastern Native American communities.

23. Kenya was a British colony at the time
so it makes perfect sense that a document would be in English. Even if so many other things are blatantly wrong with it.

30. In 1961 Kenya was a British colony in the process of obtaining
dominion status with independence not far behind.

The official languages of Kenya are Swahii and English. As someone observed, Kenyan legal documents would use both languages.

This 'document' is the political equivalent of the Brooklyn Bridge.

And it's all Bill Clinton's fault.

26. The ridiculous thing is the premise. When Obama was born, he wasn't aware or congizant of anything
at all, for years! If his family told him he was born in Hawaii, that's the only truth he knows.

I'm glad this is happening. It'll be so incredibly crushing to the birthers when all of this is revealed to be a hoax. We need them to have something to believe in, something to invest their energy in, and then smash their little evil spirits with the truth.

31. The higher they go, the further they'll fall.
I hope they swallow this silly crap hook, line, and sinker, as the 5000-post thread at FR suggests they have. It's a l-o-o-ong way down from way up there. Have a nice fall, fools.

I think you're too optimistic...
When people are that invested in something, most of them will rewrite reality rather than give up on their cherished notion.

How many "religious" group effectively rewrite their own sacred scripture to justify what's really near and dear to their hearts: greed, callousness toward the poor, violence, etc.?
