A Mission Viejo-based lawyer claims to be in possession of a copy of what she says is President Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.
Orly Taitz said the document could bring along a speedy resolution to a lawsuit she's handling, challenging Obama's eligibility to serve as the president. That is, even she admits, if it's genuine.
The Hawaiian state health director reiterated last week that he'd examined the pertinent documents and that Obama was indeed born there.
Over the weekend, Orly Taitz filed a motion in federal court for expedited discovery. Among the pleas, Taitz asks Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to make an official request to Kenyan authorities for authentication of the document.
"There are no ready means of authentication except by recovery of the original document," the motion states, noting Taitz's fear the original may be lost: "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."
Taitz did not say how she came across the copy.
A photo of the purported document posted to Taitz's Web site shows a folded, typewritten document, embossed with a seal. It lists Obama's birth on "4th August, 1961, at Coast General Hospital" in the coastal city of Mombasa.
The document itself has a Feb. 17, 1964 date and reads, "Republic of Kenya." The date, Taitz said, is because it's a certified copy, not an original.
The Obama-friendly group Media Matters says the document is a forgery. It says that while Kenya gained it's independence in 1963, it did not become a republic until Dec. 12, 1964.

You mean Carmen San Diego, right? Carmen Electra is hawking Caribbean cruises these days! ;-P
I agree that the name “Brown Shirt Media is a good one, but I’m not sure the media in this country can be embarassed or shamed any more.
“FREE H LONG FORM!”
Sorry no coffee, yet.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
I must say I thought all this was koo koo for koo koo crisp nuts.
But I do not give a damn what anybody says the MEDIA and their labeling of right wing, wing nuts and BIRTHERS is a Saul Alinsky tactic. No matter how this issue turns out. (And I believe 0bama is HIDING alot. The MSM won't even report his ALIAS Barry Soetoro.) The way the media is acting... protecting 0bama and painting people that question the BC, as crazy=BIRTHERS. This... SHOULD be IF NOTHING ELSE, an eye opening experience.
The BC from Kenya is a red herring. Hillary wants to be president so she is going to Kenya just in case anything happens to pop up that she can use to those ends.
Let me get this straight please.
Someone asked HILLARY to help authenticate the BCert?
People are missing the point on this one. It doesn't matter whether it is real or not. What we now have are two conflicting pieces of digital evidence ( Obamas COLB and the Kenyan BC ). The only way for the judge in CA to resolve this is to order discovery of the actual hard copies from Hawaii ( he can have the State Department request them from Kenya, but in all reality, they don't have to comply ). The main reason for producing this documnet now is to force production of the Hawaii BC.
What If Obama Really Was Born in Kenya?
Be very careful to watch for parsed words. For example:
A foreign born certificate could "say" the same thing. Therefore, the Health Director, technically, did not lie. All they have is "assumed" information from the mother on a forign birth certificate. (Because of that, a foreign born certificate is not legal proof of citizenship).
It can say anything. Better yet, the adult can change anything he/ she wants later on the certificate, because all information was assumed in the first place. For example: The document Oboma offered has a stamp on the back of 2007. Did he amend the document back then and change "farther/date of birth/origin of birth?" It would have been perfectly legal.
2 days ago I agreed with you. It may be 0bama chasing his tail, soon.
WAY too many unansered records/questions on 0bama and his alias= Barry Soetoro.
The mere fact that the media is using Alinsky/0bama tactics tells me there is something fishy in Denmark.
Maybe his college records will be released as Barry Soetoro and it will clear whatever and ALL he is hiding up, once and for all.
Bingo.....Been my mantra from the beginning. The more the merrier. The more credible B.C. forgeries the better ;) Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead!
You hit it right my friend.People on here have been taken for a ride once again and I don’t see why they keep falling for the same gag.This BC matter is used to discredit us .
I think he is hiding plenty. I also think that he is driving the whole train right through the front door while FReepers waste their time on an unprovable issue.
Nothing else is going on there. I'll bet she has a dead fish in her luggage somewhere (and a lot of stimulus cash to buy a few favors).
The truth will come out from a simple screw up he made here. My guess is he can't hide everything, and someone will eventually find it. More people are looking, so the digging is getting deeper.
They already think we're "crazed" just because we're not Democrats, and BHO is already positioned as a "victim" judging by his comments on the Gates case, so what difference would any of that make?
I read on another thread (yesterday? a long one!) that Kenya used the word "Republic" before it was actually ratified.
For example, NY already has a $2.40 addition to every energy bill for Cap and Trade. The bill hasn't even passed yet. (They claim it's only temporary for the next five years.)
That's a good one.
