Yes, Yes, Yes, all correct.

d. Alleged Kenyan birth records
140. Obama’s Kenyan step grandmother Sarah Hussein Obama alleged that she attended his birth in Mombasa Kenya.

141. The Principal Registrar alleged that birth records exist for Ann Dunham giv¬ing birth to Barack Hussein Obama, II in Mombasa, Kenya on August 4, 1961. Id.
142. M.P. Odhiambo implied in Parliament that Obama was Kenyan born (jus soli):
“The President-elect, Mr. Obama, is a son of the soil of this country. . . . It is only proper and fitting that the country which he originates from should show the same excitement . . .”
143. Kenyan birth would irreparably disqualify Obama from “natural born citizen[ship]”, not being born within the U.S.A.
144. If Kenyan born Obama would not even have acquired U.S. citizenship on birth, as his mother would have been too young to confer citizenship on him.
e. Uncertain birth place
145. Kenyan and Hawaiian Public Registrars claim to hold Obama’s birth records. Obama’s step-grandmother’s and MP Odhiambo’s statements contradict Obama’s U.S. relatives’ filings. Public records evidence controversy and uncertainty over Obama’s birth place.

Kenya’s ambassador sure Obama was born in Kenya.

Kenyan Ambassador: Obama’s Birthplace “Already Well Known In Kenya”November, 21, 2008 — nicedeb

I wasn’t going to say any more about the Obama birth certificate controversy, but I found this intriguing.

Mike in the Morning, a radio talk show out of Detroit MI, (of all places!), decided to call the Kenyan embassy............

Looks like we're just going to have to disagree on this one then.

Obama’s Kenyan step grandmother Sarah Hussein Obama alleged that she attended his birth in Mombasa Kenya.

Did she? Sarah Obama on record as saying in her native language that Barack Obama was a "son of the village." Bishop McRae and others took that as meaning that he was born in the village, but she may only have been speaking metaphorically. Then McRae uses her statement as evidence that Obama was born in Mombasa, on the other side of Kenya.

How much sense does that make? Harry Truman was a proud son of Independence, Missouri. But that doesn't mean he was born there (he was born on a farm elsewhere in the county). And it certainly isn't evidence that he was born in St. Louis.

Sarah isn't actually Barack Obama's grandmother. She's one of his grandfather's other wives. When McRae asked her about Barack Jr. and Barack Sr., about her son and grandson, and then threw in Mombasa there was confusion. I wouldn't say for certain that she didn't know who he was talking about, but I also wouldn't bet the farm that she was trying to say that she was there when Obama was born and the rest of the family was trying to shut her up. It's not the only possibility, maybe not even the most likely.

It's similar with "son of the soil" comments. Mario Cuomo was a "Son of Italy," Jack Kennedy "a proud son of old Ireland," but that doesn't mean that they were born there. Bill Clinton was also a "son of Ireland" and there's a village there that claims him. Nobody bothered that the Clintons were actually his stepfather's family, not his birth father's.
