White House released the birth certificate:
Found two extremely strange inconsistencies that merit some attention.
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: 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?
Post-colonial history (from Wikipedia) The first direct elections for Africans to the Legislative Council took place in 1957. Despite British hopes of handing power to "moderate" African rivals, it was the Kenya African National Union (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta that formed a government shortly before Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963, on the same day forming the first Constitution of Kenya.
I thought it said East Africa. I don’t recall it saying Kenya.
By the way, it was known as Kenya Colony in 1920. So, I’m guessing that being the British Colony of Kenya, might be why the certificate said Kenya, East Africa.
I find it more odd that under race is says African instead of black or Negro.
The hospital changed its name to Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children in 1978, not Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital. The name on the long-form is correct for 1961 and is the same on other long-forms from the time.
