All you “birthers” out there

World Net Daily has an image of what purports to be Barack Obama’s birth certificate from Kenya.

Here

I”m not a professional document examiner, but my observations since this will surely hit the fan shortly

  • Like the Hawaii certificate, this is not the original birth certificate – it is dated 1964, three years after he was born.   It is a statement that there is a birth certificate.
  • Unlike the Hawaii Certificate, the serial # is not redacted, and it states the book and page number of where the original can be found.   With that information, it should take only a few minutes to determine if this is a fake, which suggests that it probably is genuine
  • It has a raised seal, which is normal on a real document
  • His mother’s age is hard to read.    She was born in November 1942
  • 1964 was when Barack’s parents were divorced.   It’s logical that when dealing with custody, the judge would want a birth certificate
  • Kenya didn’t become independent from England until 1963, so it’s not odd that the document is in English

Glenn Beck asks the question we need to think about – if it does turn out he was born in Kenya, and further determined that it made him ineligible to become President, what happens next and are you prepared for the consequences?
