From an email I rec’d this morning...

First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama’s birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama’s birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama’s father was born in “Kenya, East Africa”. This wouldn’t seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama’s birth, and 27 years after his father’s birth. How could have Obama’s father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the “British East Africa Protectorate”. But, this is not the only thing that I found that just does not jive.
The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born in. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is “Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital”. This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called “KauiKeolani Children’s Hospital” and “Kapi’olani Maternity Home”, respectively. The name did not change to Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?
In regards to kenya not “existing” at the time - a simple google news archive search shows many references to kenya even before this date.
Here’s a link to an article with the headline “British Arrest 86 Terrorists In Kenya Roundup” dated 1952

Here’s a link to an article with the headline “Kenya attacks increase” from 1953

“except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963,”
I looked into this with respect to the Lucas Smith Kenyan BC. It’s a fake, Mombasa wasn’t part of Kenya, la la la. Well, Like most things it is complicated. I can’t describe it all to you from memory, but it was all good for the BC to say Kenya at that time. I learned more about Mombasa history than I care to remember, but this is not an issue.
Hospital name I don’t know about other than someone claiming to live there throughout those time periods and today, and drove by there everyday, said the name went unchanged. They seemed credible, you should check that out.
Short version re Kenya: Kenya gained independence in 1963 (Dec. 12 if I recall, but don’t quote me), but there has been a “Kenya” there for a long time before that as part of the British Empire.
