A question for birthers: why Mombassa?
Vanity | Me

Posted on 05/12/2010 8:47:16 AM PDT by curiosity

The origin of modern myths and legends is a side interest of mine, the birther myths among them.

Now I understand why Obama being born in Kenya made it into your belief system, despite it being physically impluasible (requiring around 5 days and five flights, most on propeller planes) and financially impossible (it would have cost about a year of her parents' combined salaries) for Stanley Ann & Obama Sr. to travel there for her to give birth. After all, Obama's Father was from Kenya, so if you are going to make up a myth about Obama being born abroad, what better place than Kenya?

Implausibilty, and even impossiblilty doesn't deter the making of myths if there is a strong emotional reason to believe them, as in this case.

What I don't understand is, of all possible places in Kenya, why make Mombassa the birthplace in your myth? If you look at the map of Kenya, it's on the other end of the country from Obama Sr.'s village, 762 miles away, which would make it a minimum 2 day train ride. Probably longer, since Kenyan trains were very fast in 1961.

I suppose you could argue that there were no hospitals in Obama's village, so they had to travel to a major city. But Nairobi was closer, and more modern.

So why Mombassa? Not only is it completely implausible; I don't see the emotional appeal. Why Mombasssa rather than his father's village? Or why Mombassa rather than Nairobi?

Help me out here, birthers. Why do you reserve this special place for Mombassa in your belief system?

You are correct, there is absolutely no reason to take your word for anything since you contradict your own posts within your own posts. But you keep workin’ it, kneepadder, keep worshipping for the father of lies.


I’ll keep doing my best to keep you on your toes, sweetie pie!

Military officers have politely asked, “Mr Obama please prove that you are a natural born citizen.”

This is a simple request, and, if Obama is a natural born citizen, it is a simple matter to resolve with a nod of his head to his secretary.

So? Why doesn't he?

An real, true blue, red blooded, “Born in the U.S.A” citizen would be **HONORED** to promptly provide all of the best evidence proving he was a natural born citizen.

A FOREIGN USURPER would waste the time and resources of Department of Justice attorneys to hide common documents that unanointed Americans routinely provide for many reasons.

A FOREIGN USURPER wastes the resources of the Department of Justice in courts in California and Georgia when plots were being laid to :

**BLOW UP TIMES SQUARE
**BLOW UP A PITTSBURGH MARATHON
**BLOW A PLANE OUT OF THE SKY IN DETROIT
** KILL SOLDIERS ON THEIR BASES AND RECRUITMENT CENTERS

That why birthers won't let this go. The above is why nearly 40 to 50% of the population have serious questions about Obama’s eligibility.

This will **NOT** go away!

Welcome to the Department of Health's Online Vital Records Ordering System
Vital records (birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates) for events that occurred in Hawaii are received and preserved by the Office of Health Status Monitoring, a unit of the Department of Health (DOH). In Hawaii, access to vital records is restricted by statute (HRS §338-18).
Certified copies of these records may be issued to authorized individuals and used for such diverse purposes as school entry, passports, Social Security participation, driver's licenses, employment, sports participation, survivor's benefits, proof of property rights, and other needs.
This is only an ordering system for certified copies of vital records. The certified copies being ordered WILL NOT be issued online as a part of your transaction. You will receive the ordered certified copies via first-class postal mail within 4-6 weeks.
Orders received on this web site WILL NOT be given processing priority over orders placed in-person or by postal mail on the same day. Processing of online orders will not be expedited and will be processed under the DOH's standard procedures.
You may order certified copies only of birth and marriage certificates and only of records dating from July 1909 to the present on this web site. You can also order certified copies of birth and marriage certificates, and must order certified copies of death and divorce certificates and certified copies of records dating before July 1909, through postal mail or in-person (see www.hawaii.gov/doh click on "vital records" for information).
You may order certified copies only of your own birth and marriage certificates or of an immediate family member (e.g., a parent of his/her child's birth or marriage certificate) on this web site. NOTE: This system does exact matches only. Please enter data carefully as typographical errors will result in a failure to match.

Myth? Obama was born in the age of jet travel 707s and DC-8s. Getting to Kenya was not that hard like if they traveled in a balloon around the world in 180 days. What are myths is after-Birthers like you denying all the evidence that says Obama was born in Kenya. It is far from myths when Kenyan government officials say Obama was born in Kenya that are written in government documents.


As the Minister of Kenyan Lands James Orengo unequivocally said highlighted below of Obama being born in Kenya:

So are you trying to tell us no one can get a copy of their own long form Hawaii birth certificate or are you just using subtrefuge to deceive? Come on go and spit it out, take a stand!


Here’s my stand:
If ANYBODY, and I repeat and mean ANYBODY could get a long form birth certificate from the state of Hawaii since 2001, don’t you think that hundreds, perhaps thousands of them would be showing up on the internet by now, just to embarrass Obama?

You are full of it. Until around August 2009, anyone could and in fact anyone applying for Hawaii Homelands was required to submit a long form BC.

http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=100451

"The website of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, however, states clearly the certification of live birth touted by the Obama campaign, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and a host of other Obama defenders is not acceptable as a form of identification to qualify under this program. "

NOTE-Hawaii homelands changed their policy in 2009 without notice-WHY because it conflicted withe the lies told by DOH. Anyone can still get a copy of their long form under the Hawaii Open Records Act. PERIOD! END OF STATEMENT STFU!

Your own words, obamanoid:

"Since 2001 when the state went paperless, it is the ONLY official birth certificate of the state." ...

And in the next paragraph you assert your own contradiction:
Obama’s original birth documents can be subpoenaed without Obama’s permission by (and I quote the statute) “A person whose right to inspect or obtain a certified copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction;” [Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-18(b)(9).

The in a later post you assert that since 2001 it has been impossible to obtain a long form type document! Are you a staffer for the lying JOhn Klein of CNN infamy? LOL
