And then one of our moderators spotted this:

It has several clues, but also there's this question:

Who is E. F. Lavender?

Earth Friendly Lavender detergent?

I agree.

Why spend so much money and effort at removing and hiding every bit of background history about him, and then turn around and actively draw attention to it. Doesn't make sense.

[freekitty]

So we are back to square 1?

[mass55th]

Thanks for the link.

i just got an email about this and came here for more news.

i guess i’m disappointed that the document is already being questioned as fake. I thought maybe Dr. Taitz had uncovered something.

the 44-O-47 coincidence is a bit suspicious.

what can we do besides wait for the outcome of the authentication?

[spycatcher]

Some of the cluefinding stuff is getting a bit kooky.

Joshua Simon Oduya

Joshua??? (Just joshing - of course!)

Simon??? (Simon says...)

Oduya??? (Oh, do ya? You betcha!)

They do, under that picture. Which upon close reflection, is a close-up of BHO’s.

I need to take a break and make some more coffee.

[appleseed]

Just sayin but was is good for me as low level Govt. employee is also good for top ladder bozo. Different strokes for different folks only applies to the current occupant. Had my past drug through the dirt why not his?

I don't know anything about it, but Wikipedia said:

On 1 July 1895, it became part of Britain's Kenya protectorate (the coastal strip nominally under Zanzibari sovereignty).

Mombasa was part of the state of Zanzibar until 12 December 1963 when it was ceded to be incorporated into the newly independent state of Kenya.

Folks, this is a distraction....How many of you emailed your Congressional Representatives today? Contacted your Senators regarding their Sotomayor vote this week? Attended a town hall? Coordinated any political activity?

There are better ways to defeat this Marxist!

His poll numbers have dropped and he is failing in public opinion of his actions. Congress is running scared after the past two weeks of citizen outcry. We need to keep up the attack on their positions, principles and actions. Let's Roll!

[Lexinom]

The number in itself means nothing - see my other post to you on the subject. It depends on the question, "To what is that number a key?" If it's number of documents of that type issued since December 1963, the number 47,044 is not implausible - maybe even prophetic.

E. F. Lavender - not sure about that yet. "Earth-friendly Lavender"? If that is the case, I won't be buying that product ever! :-)

[freekitty]

I understand. I used to work with a guy from Africa that I can’t remember why was questioned by the FBI. They knew what he was doing a specific day when he was 5 years old in Africa. We were all astounded by that.

So don’t tell me Obama can not produce is true and verified birth certificate.

[MrDem]

But consider that if you Google 10 billion pages for any combination of common words, you will get lots of hits.

I Googled E. F. Robinson and got a ton of hits.

[mkmensinger]

Actually, Oduya plays for the NJ Devils.

[saquin]

Buffalo Jack made a really good point that many here are ignoring. Regardless of whether this particular document is a fake or not, this will still be a valid point if another supposed Kenyan BC surfaces that also shows "Mombasa" as his birthplace:

This is just weird. Mombass wasn’t part of Kenya in 1961.
Mombasa was part of Zanzibar until 12 December 1963.

Here's some further verification:

"Officially this coastal strip still belonged to Zanzibar until ceded to a newly independent Kenya in 1963."

The coast city of Mombasa was not technically part of Kenya in 1961 when Obama was born. It was part of Zanzibar. So why would Obama's father take his pregnant wife there to give birth and not to, say, the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi? You'd think he'd at least want his son born in his own country, if not in Hawaii? Why a coastal city, far from his home village and far from the capital, that was really part of Zanzibar?

the 44-O-47 coincidence is a bit suspicious.

Not as suspicious as the number: 102181

[Red Steel]

what can we do besides wait for the outcome of the authentication?

Not a whole lot. Who ever has it has to authenticate it. The document is good enough to get it checked out.

[romans828]

my question is, how in the WORLD did he get a security clearance without proving where he was born!!!

[MrDem]

What is 102181 ??

[Tanniker Smith]

If you can’t name the specific points which made you suspicious of the document, your comments have no meaning. Okay, how's this: where's the friggin' reference to make it even look real in the first place?

How many people in this thread have ever seen a Kenyan birth certificate in the first place that they could "ooh" and "ahh" as soon as they see this one show up?

Where's the freakin' comparison with a real one? It's an isolated picture on the web that I've seen posted on FR about 5 times today (and I probably missed a few more).

Absent all that, this was a joke from the start.
