I understand your concern and maybe as yet this doesn’t rise to the level of the Swift Boats or Dan Rather work done at FR, AND I’D LIKE TOO, TO MOVE ON TO ISSUES SUCH AS PUSHING MCCAIN TO TAKE A FIRM CONSERVATIVE STAND ON DRILLING!!!!! but here are my thoughts.
Firstly, I think clearly the rumors originated in the Hillary camp, and were fanned by people like Bob Beckel.
Secondly, I’ve seen the birth certificate in question and it raises some questions. Why is the serial number blacked out? This looked like a modern reproduction.
When I’ve asked for a copy of my birth certificate it’s a photo copy. ANY FREEPERS OUT THERE CIRCA BORN AROUND 1961 WHO CAN REPRODUCE THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE FOR US?
Do we know what hospital he was born at? Any eye witnesses? Surely there would be records there to dispel rumors. I mean we have Reagan’s place of birth, and his schools, his everything. It’s a simple trail that you can follow. Obama’s reads like an Agatha Christie novel.
You know... I did a fair bit of googling last night searching for “Barak Obama Kenya Birth” using various search terms hoping to find the references to the relatives who claim he was born in Kenya. The only thing I found that state he was “Kenyan Born” was a site named, I believe, something like USA Africa, or a variation of that.
I never did find those particular quotes, however, I noticed something interesting. On all of the blog posts, and white-papers that I came across that have been published on this in an attempt to dispel the rumor they all cite the same source for the information - Barak’s own testimony from his first book, and nothing more or less.
