UPI: 'Birther': She has Obama birth certificate
United Press International ^ | August 4, 2009 | UPI Staff

MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A California lawyer who has filed a lawsuit alleging President Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen says she has a copy of his Kenyan birth certificate.

Orly Taitz of Mission Viejo, a leading "birther," filed a motion over the weekend for quick action on her lawsuit, The Orange County Register reported. She acknowledged the Kenyan document might be a forgery and asked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to request verification from the Kenyan government.

"There are no ready means of authentication except by recovery of the original document," she said in her filing. "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."

Proof that Obama was born in Hawaii includes his birth certificate there, statements of Hawaiian officials and a birth notice in a Honolulu newspaper.

Taitz's document, described as a certified copy, says Obama was born Aug. 4, 1961, in a hospital in Mombasa. The document is dated Feb. 17, 1964, and stamped Republic of Kenya.

Media Matters for America, a Democratic-leaning watchdog group, says Kenya did not become a Republic until later in 1964.

The last sentence in this article may not be accurate since Mombasa, Kenya may have been referred to as Republic of Kenya as early as October of 1963.

By the way, "Happy Where's Your Birth Certificate Day."

"Proof that Obama was born in Hawaii includes his birth certificate there, statements of Hawaiian officials and a birth notice in a Honolulu newspaper."

Hilarious! All three of these points have already been shown to be extremely weak.

It’s just a journalistic formula. Throw in something from the other side at the end of the story. That’s “balance.”

So, if the Pope gives a speech in favor of charity, goodness, and kindness, there is always a quote at the end from Lesbian Witches for the Advancement of Wickedness.

Hillary is on her way to Nairobi.

Would the ledger books be in Mombasa, where Obama was born, or in Nairobi, the capital?

Fake...but accurate. Has a familiar ring to it.

Probably the half-educated reporter doesn’t know the difference between “proof” and “evidence.”

The bottomline is that Obama will have to present his original birth certificate to authenticate or prove this Kenyan birth certificate to be a forgery (lol).

Well, I’m sure Hillary is going there to find out.

According to Wikipedia entries, Kenya ceased to be a Colonial entity of Britain on the 12th December 1963.

I have a feeling this is going to come to London, surely everything upto becoming a Republic is recorded with our Foreign office?

Notice the subtle change to from "has released his birth certificate" to "his birth certificate there." Of course the fact that Sec. of State spokeswoman Janice Obuko just stated that she has "seen" the document proves that the original, long form BC has not been released.

The bottomline is that we need Obama’s original long form birth certificate in court.

Anti-birthers are claiming the BC is a forgery and have come forth with some guy from Australia who claims the forgery is based on his BC. I think it much more likely his BC is a forgery based on the Obama one just to throw investigators off the trail. I don't trust these people and my very first inclination is consider anything they say or produce to be of very questionable value, accuracy or veracity.

Like the Gipper said “Trust, but verify!” Amen!

Or as Slick Willy would have said “I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours. In fact, I'll show you mine even if you don't show me yours. Hell's bells, I'll show you mine even if you don't want to see it.” Sneer. Snort.

I’m personally convinced the whole “birther” thing helps Obama, the same way having Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan and the “911 truthers” seen as represening the left helped Bush win reelection. For that reason alone, if I was Obama, I would never release my birht certificate. The people in the middle are rapidly realizing how dangerous Obama’s policies are. The only thing that will stop a conservative resurgence in 2010 is if they view conservatives as a bunch of shrill, crazy kooks.

Anyway, ya’ll have fun with it. I’m out.

Do you think Hillary would actually retrieve it for Obama? Or keep it for herself?
