Obama's Kenyan birth certificate:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=105764
You see Barack Obama's totally real Nigerian birth certificate that is not
photoshopped and completely believable unlike those phony Hawaiian
documents? I mean, if there's one country that you know won't scam you, it's
Kenya!
Yet some people persist in casting suspicious glances at the document. User
CatM in the comments:
First, the hospital is Coast Provincial General Hospital (sometimes said to
be Coast Province General Hospital), not Coast General Hospital.
Second, Kenya was a Dominion the date this certificate was allegedly issued
and would not become a republic for 8 months.
Third, Mombasa belonged to Zanzibar when Obama was born, not Kenya.
Fourth, Obama's father's village would be nearer to Nairobi, not Mombasa.
Fifth, the number 47O44-- 47 is Obama's age when he became president,
followed by the letter O (not a zero) followed by 44--he is the 44th
president.
Sixth, EF Lavender is a laundry detergent.
Seventh, would a nation with a large number of Muslims actually say
"Christian name" (as opposed to name) on the birth certificate?
Eigth, his father (born in 1961) would have been 24 or 25 when he was born
and not 26.
Ninth, it was called the "Central Nyanza District," not Nyanza Province. The
regions were changed to provinces in 1970.
Old Redneck in a recommended diary (omitting duplicates from above):
The document is dated 5 August 1964 -- a Saturday. From what I can find,
Kenyan guvmint offices close early on Friday and are closed on Saturdays.
Oooops [...]
This piece of paper certainly looks nice and new to be 45 years old --
unless the Kenyans were using acid-free paper back in 1964. Heh, heh.
Finally, Officials of Coast Province General Hospital reported: "We do not
have computerized records going back to the 1960's and can only sort through
our archives by hand," Dr. Christopher Mwanga, an administrator at the
Mombasa hospital tells GLOBE. "We have searched for all the names of babies
born on Aug. 4, 1961, and have not found the name of Barack Hussein Obama.
That is all I can tell you."
Dr. Mwanga is clearly in on the scam.
In all seriousness, some of these bullet points may turn out to be misfires.
But the totality of the evidence -- gathered lightning fast, I may add --
suggests that this is a forgery. And not just any forgery, but one good
enough to take in the idiot birthers, while poor enough to let everyone else
in on the joke.
In other words, the Birthers just got played, in a hilariously overt way.

Thought close to the same, but she's been involved in a bunch of other
attempted birther lawsuits without any humor content at all.
Plus, she works for Alan Keyes.
From all appearances, she's as True Believer as they come.
