Is This Really Smoking Gun of Obama's Kenyan Birth?

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.

This document purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth for Barack Obama, allegedly born in Mombasa, Kenya, in 1961

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.

Document enlarged to show detail alleges Barack Obama was born at Coast General Hospital in Mombasa on Aug. 4, 1961

No doctor is listed. But the alleged certificate bears the signature of the deputy registrar of Coast Province, Joshua Simon Couya. 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.

Last week, a counterfeit document purporting to be Obama's Kenyan birth certificate made the rounds of the Internet, but was quickly determined to be fraudulent. The new document released by Taitz bears none of the obvious traits of a hoax.

All you FReepers who bash WND as “World Nut Daily” can go eat crow. WND is doing yeoman’s work on this issue while other so-called investigators sit on their behinds waiting for sloppy seconds.

The Enquirer broke the John Edwards baby story.

I am sure that Obama will now release his original long form Hawaiian Birth Certificate to put an end to this controversy. Here is the purported Kenyan document.

Someone should see if there's any DNA in that bugger on the paper. Could solve this mystery.

That's "booger", not "bugger". Well, I suppose it could be "bugger", but I don't like to think about it.
