Obama's Kenyan Birth Certificate Allegedly Found

World Net Daily is reporting that an attorney who has filed a number of motions to obtain President Barack Obama's birth records has an alleged copy of Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.

WND reports:

California attorney Orly Taitz, who has filed a number of lawsuits demanding proof of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president, has released a copy of what purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth and has filed a new motion in U.S. District Court for its authentication.

This is the alleged Kenyan certified birth certificate that Taitz obtained (click image to see larger):



People who are questioning Obama's right to serve as president and demand his birth records have been labeled kooks or "birthers" by the left wing media and some conservative commentators. By refusing to provide the "long form" Hawaiian birth certificate, Obama is just fanning the flames on his eligibility.

It will be interesting to see where this goes and what they have to say about it.

Is this "the smoking gun?"

Here's the full document. Note the embossed certification seal on the lower left corner (click image to see larger):



UPDATE (8/6/09): I received this message from actor/writer (and a friend) Jim Beaver:

"It's been proven a forgery now, Armand. The story's all over the place (here, for example: http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2009/08/04/australia_certificate/ ). Apparently a guy photocopied an Australian birth certificate from 1959, photoshopped out the data, and put in fake data. Aside from the fact that the seal is the seal of South Australia and not Kenya, there's also the fact (not mentioned in the article but something I found out on my own) that Mombasa, in 1961, was part of Zanzibar and not Kenya. Mombasa was ceded to Kenya in 1963. So it's a really bad forgery, despite the fact that a whole lot of people fell for it.

How people can think they're serving a good cause (which I presume most birthers think they're doing) while faking evidence to do so, I can't understand. If truth is on your side, shouldn't truth be your weapon?

(I'm not saying this about you, Armand. I'm talking about the forger.)

Regards!"

Now you know why in my original post I specifically said "alleged."
