Lancaster House Conference held in 1963 for Kenya's Independence.

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.

Isolate the target, polarize it, alienate it.
By then, most people will give up. To fight this tactic - keep going. Simply do not let it work.
They're circling the wagons the same way they did during the Lewinsky scandal. They're using the same tactics rather than actually investigating to find the truth.
You might want to check back on the other B.C. threads. There’s pretty convincing evidence now that someone used the Kenyan document as a template to make the Australian Bomford B.C.
Seriously.
Which does not validate the purported Kenyan paper, just discredits the Aussie one.

Sorry, WorldNetDaily: Kenya wasn't a republic until Dec. 1964
Wikipedia says,Kenya became independent on December 12, 1963. (BELOW IS A CACHED VIEW)

Despite British hopes of handing power to more "moderate" African rivals, it was the Kenya African National Union (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta, a member of the large Kĩkũyũ tribe and former prisoner under the emergency, which formed a government shortly before Kenya became independent on December 12, 1963. A year later, Kenyatta became Kenya's first president on the establishment of a republic.
Yes. She and Bush were both victims of the Alinski media - Isolate the target, polarize it, alienate it.
The Republicans just keep letting it happen rather than expose the tactic. They argue the accusations instead, which leads to another tactic - "use their 'angry' response against them."

Agreed. The only way to expose the tactic is to do what Palin did. Never give up and throw them off their course a bit.
Is it too simple for someone in our government or stature to go here and inquire?

They don't want to. The Republicans plan on feeding off what the democrats take someday.
It's all about power and privilege. The Republicans can play "bipartisan" and drink from the socialist well themselves.
Notice the Republicans are not discussing the 65 and older "exit" list, not are they discussing the free health care for illegals. They're playing it safe and just arguing for a few to remain free.
Most of our political elites have spent their adult lives in luxury and security in Washington. They're comfortable being kings. So comfortable, they're no longer human.
The reason I am a “birther”, i.e., someone who remains skeptical, is fairly simple. I began my career as a journalist. I was trained to be skeptical and to expect to see documentation and proof that whatever is asserted is true.
This means that I am suspicious when a candidate for president has virtually no paper trail of documents. No journalist has seen Obama’s alleged birth certificate because it is “under seal” in Hawaii at the order of its Governor. Why?
Here’s a list of documentation that, as of 2008, was “unavailable”:
1. Occidental College records—Not released
2. Columbia College records—Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper—“Not available”
4. Harvard College records—Not released
5. Selective Service Registration—Not released
6. Medical records—Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule—“Not available”
8. Law practice client list—Not released
9. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate—Not released
10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth—Not released
11. Harvard Law Review articles published—None
12. University of Chicago scholarly articles—None
What does anyone REALLY know about Obama? They “know” the life story he put forth in two memoirs, one of which was published before he ever ran for a public office. Even here, his authorship of the books has been challenged because the text to an astonishing extent resembles books and articles written by Bill Ayers, a close friend and best known as having been a domestic terrorist, a member of the Weatherman in the 1960s.
Does it matter? The answer is yes. It matters in the most serious way possible. We cannot have someone holding the power of the presidency that does not qualify under the provisions of the U.S. Constitution.
It should be a cause for genuine concern that he continues to stonewall all attempts to determine his place of birth, his citizenship, or any of the other major parts of his life leading up to having first served in the Illinois legislature and then as a U.S. Senator.
The mainstream media have been extraordinarily disinterested in any credible documentation of Obama’s life story. Something is very wrong about that.
Something is bizarre that Time Magazine is putting Obama’s picture on the cover for a twelfth time in twelve months!
Obama’s rise to power has been meteoric. His path there remains shrouded in deliberate obscurity.
Obama’s popularity and approval ratings by both the Gallup and Rasmussen polling organizations have been dropping precipitously. All the spin in the world will not reverse this, but one step in the right direction would be to produce his birth certificate.
Well. I read the site more carefully and only Obama himself or a parent can inquire.
It's actually the "Orange County Register" and they are very much Libertarian. In other words....extremely non biased.
I think it is only fitting that 0bama hold a 5 minute news conference to announce he will unseal his Birth cert in Hawaii and disprove his Kenya birth certificate; tomorrow for his birthday.
Actually, no. She didn't say that.
“And BTW, It’s Obama who must prove a positive, not us to prove a negative.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I love people who say, “Prove he WASN’T born in Hawaii” as if they can’t comprehend that it is almost always impossible to prove a negative. This negative can be proven only by proving the positive that he WAS born somewhere else. I can’t even prove that I DIDN’T kill Jimmy Hoffa.
