Lucas Daniel Smith contacted The Post & Email in response to our interview of a person who stated that he had information regarding Obamas alleged birth record in Kenya. The interviewee had stated that he believed that the document exhibited by Smith in 2009 ....was totally bogus because Kenya ... was under British ... and when Obama was born, ...his birth record would have been given in metric measurements: height, weight, etc.
Smith stated that that ... is incorrect, and that Kenya,... used the measurements of pounds and yards until the mid-to-late 1960s.
