Latest BS from the birthers -- and correct information

Not that it will make any difference to most of the birthers, but the following info. messes up their latest story about Obama's "fake" birth certificate. They're trying to make everyone believe Kenya wasn't known as "Kenya" at the time of his birth. (Wrong!) Also, they say the name of the hospital on his long form birth certificate is incorrect. (Once again, they are wrong.) But these are people who don't accept facts. They prefer "truthiness" (i.e. Lies) from FOX noise and Rush Limbaugh.

East Africa Protectorate (also known as British East Africa) was an area of East Africa occupying roughly the same terrain as present-day Kenya (approximately 246,800 mi² / 639,209 km²) from the Indian Ocean inland to Uganda and the Great Rift Valley. It was controlled by Britain in the late 19th century; it grew out of British commercial interests in the area in the 1880s and remained a protectorate until 1920 when it became the colony of Kenya.

It's always been known as Kenya - even before the independence. The Kenya African Union political party was formed in 1947, eliminating all doubt about the word Kenya in relation to the territory, which was named after a local mountain. it's not unusual for someone from Kenya to use their name for the country rather than the official British name - especially in a time when they were on the verge of their own independence.

As for the hospital's name, I found the following bolded info. online. Am sure if anyone is interested to search for other Honolulu birth certificates issued before 1978, they will find the hospital's name listed as it is on Obama's birth certificate. The information posted is incorrect in at least one area. I am holding my husband's birth certificate from Honolulu, Hawaii in the year 1964 at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital. Don't know where they got their information, but they are wrong about the 1978 name change date. In addition, the Advertiser reported that the first published mention of the future president appeared in a Sunday Advertiser birth announcement that ran on Aug. 13, 1961:

"Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy., son, Aug. 4."

The identical announcement ran the following day in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Birthers wave off those birth announcements, saying that Obama family members 48 years ago could have phoned in false information to both newspapers.

Such vital statistics, however, were not sent to the newspapers by the general public but by the Health Department, which received the information directly from hospitals.

Birth announcements from the public ran elsewhere in both papers and usually included information such as the newborn's name, weight and time of birth.

In order to fake the birth notices, it would have required the complicity of the state Health Department and two independent newspapers — on the off chance this unnamed child might want to one day be president of the United States.

This Honolulu Advertiser announcement of Barack Obama’s Aug 4, 1961 birth was published August 13, 1961 on page B-6. It is available only on microfilm in Hawaii libraries. The announcement is 4th from the bottom of the left hand column. The identical announcement appeared the next day in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

Seems an elaborate scheme that if Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii they would have put a birth notice in the paper there. Of course, they were probably planning a conspiracy all along because they knew there was a good chance their bi-racial baby would grow up to become president. Since the state of Hawaii’s word doesn’t seem to be good enough for the loonies and the sham lawyers who filed the frivolous lawsuits, it’s nice someone took the time to hunt this down. Of course, the wackos will say this too was invented.

Still not convinced, birthers? Fine, it’s true. Obama is NOT from the U.S. Read HERE.
