In Summary

  • ‘Birth certificate’ purporting Obama was born in Mombasa is fake

According to a poll released last week by Research 2000, 28 per cent of Republicans think that Obama was not born in the US and another 30 per cent are “not sure”.

Eligibility

Adding “credibility” to the “birthers” are Alan Keyes, a former Republican presidential candidate, who has filed a lawsuit questioning Obama’s eligibility for office, and Republican senator James Inhofe, who says he can’t bring himself to “discourage” the movement.
Names aside, Mombasa, where the certificate says he was born, belonged to Zanzibar at the time , not Kenya. And so on.

    The truth is that even among professed non-racists, there are those who deep down remain uncomfortable with or outright hostile to the notion of a Black person being President of the US. Much of the opposition waged against Obama could have been raised against many others, but they were not Black. It may be by a small minority, but it is a vocal one.

    This is to all of you black Africans messing up Africa. They cannot believe that a black man is the president of America. Considering that Obama is half black half white, (not totally black), think about what would happen if Obama was totally black. He would have no chance. As we burn down and degrade Africa, let us remember that it is our only hope. Everybody come to deficate and steal from Africa but they want nothing to do with black Africans. Get this loud and clear people.

    These 'Birthers' remind me of a clunky piece of obsolete equipment, striving to regain relevance with as much din as possible, in a new world that has no memory of the days of clicketyclack. And what a effing shame it is that some bigtime joke named Allan Keys fits in with this band of screwballs. Oh, wait, wait, I know: Keys is busy raking in the green off of this red meat stuff as the other broke ass loonies run their yaps out of hatred. What a mess!

    Kajwang, please let us see you do this. I am tired of these stupid Americans claiming that Obama was not born in the US, while they know that his challenger, McCain, was born in Panama! They chose Mombasa as Obama's birthplace to show that he was muslim, as if muslims are only born in Mombasa! There is already a proper birth certificate from Hawaii and an advert in Hawaii papers from 1961. Do you need the birth recorded live on tape? You would still say the tape was fake!
