Here is a story from the OC Register that states this all a little more clearly. There are a few details I haven’t seen mentioned in this 6000+ reply thread:
O.C. lawyer claims to have Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate
She wants swift legal action, fearing the original will be destroyed.
By MICHAEL MELLO
The Orange County Register
A Mission Viejo-based lawyer claims to be in possession of a copy of what she says is President Barack Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate.
Orly Taitz said the document could bring along a speedy resolution to a lawsuit she’s handling, challenging Obama’s eligibility to serve as the president. That is, even she admits, if it’s genuine.
The Hawaiian state health director reiterated last week that he’d examined the pertinent documents and that Obama was indeed born there.
Over the weekend, Orly Taitz filed a motion in federal court for expedited discovery. Among the pleas, Taitz asks Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to make an official request to Kenyan authorities for authentication of the document.
“There are no ready means of authentication except by recovery of the original document,” the motion states, noting Taitz’s fear the original may be lost: “It is also apparent … that political pressure may be brought to bear to destroy all relevant evidence, whether such evidence exists within or outside the borders of the United States of America.”
Taitz did not say how she came across the copy.
A photo of the purported document posted to Taitz’s Web site shows a folded, typewritten document, embossed with a seal. It lists Obama’s birth on “4th August, 1961, at Coast General Hospital” in the coastal city of Mombasa.
The document itself has a Feb. 17, 1964 date and reads, “Republic of Kenya.” The date, Taitz said, is because it’s a certified copy, not an original.
The Obama-friendly group Media Matters says the document is a forgery. It says that while Kenya gained it’s independence in 1963, it did not become a republic until Dec. 12, 1964. Media Matters’ debate over that whether “Republic of Kenya” could have appeared on a Feb. 17, 1964 document can be seen here.
Among the parties to the lawsuit is Southern Baptist Pastor Wiley Drake of Buena Park, who ran as the vice-presidential candidate on the same ticket with the American Independent party candidate for president, Alan Keyes.

There are a few details I haven’t seen mentioned in this 6000+ reply thread:As far as I can remember, all of this has been discussed many times. If you are referring to the part about going through HRC to gain information from Kenya, it was one of the links in the original post (that also seems to have been hacked, unfortunately).
