UPI: 'Birther': She has Obama birth certificate
United Press International ^ | August 4, 2009 | UPI Staff

MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A California lawyer who has filed a lawsuit alleging President Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen says she has a copy of his Kenyan birth certificate.

Orly Taitz of Mission Viejo, a leading "birther," filed a motion over the weekend for quick action on her lawsuit, The Orange County Register reported. She acknowledged the Kenyan document might be a forgery and asked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to request verification from the Kenyan government.

"There are no ready means of authentication except by recovery of the original document," she said in her filing. "It is also apparent ... that political pressure may be brought to bear to destroy all relevant evidence, whether such evidence exists within or outside the borders of the United States of America."

Proof that Obama was born in Hawaii includes his birth certificate there, statements of Hawaiian officials and a birth notice in a Honolulu newspaper.

Taitz's document, described as a certified copy, says Obama was born Aug. 4, 1961, in a hospital in Mombasa. The document is dated Feb. 17, 1964, and stamped Republic of Kenya.

Media Matters for America, a Democratic-leaning watchdog group, says Kenya did not become a Republic until later in 1964.

there are extremely powerful monetary forces backing Obama

Power like that will squash this little lawsuit like a fly on a teleprompter

Obama has left a long trail of suspicious activity. He may have attended Occidental College as Barry Soetoro and as a foreign student. This could prove that he had Indonesian citizenship.

Well, I have not yet to seen proof that the birth certificate in Orly Taitz possession is a forgery- maybe it is authentic. The timeline fits.

You are correct: nothing has been proven. The "Republic of Kenya" bit may prove to be anachronistic, but no one has shown that conclusively.

The Taitz document names definite people and references specific official records. These can be checked. If the MSM could publish a story debunking the Taitz document using the vast resources available to them in Africa, I am certain that they would do so as quickly as possible --- and they haven't.

The dog that isn't barking is the one that I am listening for.

Read that something is to break tomorrow. Wonder if this is what they were taking about.

Yes, I’ve been watching for that. They basically have no defense.

When I first saw that Ms. Taitz had this on her website, I thought it would be her undoing. When I read, however, that she filed suit to have the document verified... I realized that she is smarter than I thought.

I always knew she was brave, but this is a genius move... don’t know if it will work, but I appreciate that there is someone who is covering all the bases on this, no matter where it goes.

Hillary is on her way to Nairobi. Would the ledger books be in Mombasa, where Obama was born, or in Nairobi, the capital?

It may have been archived in both places, if not more.

The UK may have one too, being the birth took place in the British Protectorate ten-mile strip, more than 2 years before they allowed Kenya, and Coast Province, its independence ...

Yes, Orly has a great game-plan and it appears that she might “pull one out of the bag.” Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate that she possesses fits the proper timeline. It was probably prepared for presentation for the divorce of Obama’s parents in 1964.

I, 95% agree with you because I just can't picture the forgers picking a Feb 1964 date. Unless, unless the forgery was done under the direction of a lawyer who would be aware that such a document would be needed at that particular time frame.

I wonder if the same document was required during the Soetoro divorce.

Legitimate Obama birth certificates could be floating around everywhere! (lol)

One thing we can all be 100% certain of - that the Taitz document is no less authentic than the one posted by factcheck...

Yes, however this turns out, Orly Taitz document is world’s better than the COLB from “fightthesmears.”

Is there an award for the most outrageous media understatement of the year?

I am so sick of these pukes.

Probably the claim by the MSM that the COLB verifies that Obama is eligible.

(How many birth certificates does he have?)

I'm kind of all thought out on it for now, and there's so much out there, it gets convoluted. If that school record is legit, it is possible they lied on it to get him into school, but that would be taking a huge risk in a country like Indonesia where laws are enforced much more harshly.

It's odd that no one has come forward from those years. It's like a blank page except what he himself has written about it. You'd think somebody would remember him as either Soetoro or Obama. Maybe they are afraid to come forward if there is anyone.

His name might be in the city directory in Honolulu, but I'm not sure because ours, only parents are listed, available as near complete sets in any city library for that city.

The census would be revealing but it won't be released until um 1970, we've got a ways to go, they are only at 1930 now. Now with you know who in charge of the census, well you know what I'm getting at.

Nobody has brought out any more about the draft registration that appeared on Debbie Schlussel's site AFAIC. That was interesting, could be another forgery either way.
