While I have doubts about Obama’s birthplace (mainly because he refuses to order the release of the long form), this article is pretty much meaningless.

Finding a handful of references to him being born in Kenya out of the thousands and thousands of articles stating he was born in Hawaii doesn’t prove anything, other than that newspapers make mistakes.

I seriously doubt the Sunday Standard had any inside information that the rest of the media did not have. The odds are about 99.99% that they simply made a mistake (even if that “mistake” caused them to inadvertantly publish a truth that nobody knew was true).

Of course, it is possible that Obama was born in Kenya, but if the Sunday Standard “got it right” it was because they “got it wrong” when attempting to report the official and commonly reported details of Obama’s birthplace.

I’m sure if we look hard enough we could find articles stating that George W. Bush was born in Texas or that Sarah Palin was born in Alaska.

Go back and read the link. it is an AP story

not that ap couldn’t gget it wrong but as a world wide news org they do have some credibility.
When you add it to the NPR article quoting their staff member in kenya also saying 0dumbo was kenyan born
You certainly can understand why people want to see the original BC from Hawaii

Remember these articles were writtne back in 2004 when it would have meant little for someone born in kenya to run for the Senate

something is amiss. Frankly I dont think a president should be allowed to keep background records off limits to the public.

In this electronic age, it takes great effort to erase your foot print. Why all the effort?

I call BS on this. Prove it!

Why would you stick up for Obama when you don't know where he was born? Even if he was born in HI, it doesn't make him eligible to be President.
