I don’t know whether or not Obama was born in the U.S., but the pictured birth certificate is clearly a forgery. I don’t know why WND didn’t check it out further.
You gotta watch out. Even if Obama was born in Kenya, a helluva strategy would be to produce a fake birth certificate (or a number of them) via third party sources to further discredit those who are seeking the truth. The birthers latch on to the forgery, and are then further discredited and marginalized.
Be on guard.
Why do you say its “clearly” a forgery? Forget the Republic reference.
Kenya was commonly called a Republic after the declaration of Independence.
Here is a site that references it as Republic before the 1964 date.

” Kenya achieved internal self-government on June 1st 1963. Kenya was declared a republic on December 12th 1963 with Jomo Kenyatta as 1st the president. Kenyatta died in 1978 and Daniel Arap Moi took over.”
Kenya was admitted to the UN as a country on 12/16/1963

Here is item off of China’s web site referring to Kenya as Repubic as of12/14/1963
The People’s Republic of China Established the diplomatic relations with the Republic Of Kenyaon the day of December 14, 1963. In the initial days of the establishment the relations between the two countries it saw a fair development. After 1965, the relation of the two countries was lowered to be at the chargé d’affaires level and towards the beginning of 1970s it gradually returned to the normal. In 1978, when President Daniel Arap Moi came in power, the relation of the two countries gained a fast development. With frequent mutual visits at high level the friendly cooperation has witnessed outstanding achievements in many fields. By the end of 2002 when a new government was formed after Mwai Kibaki was elected President of the country he expressed to hold a great account of the relations with China, willing to further deepen and expand the friendly cooperation between the two countries.”
