Suppose It Is Bogus?

Obama's “birth certificate” is pretty far down on my list of things that is wrong with Obama, but since he decided (through prodding by Donald Trump) to present his “birth certificate” to the public for viewing, it is the duty of the public to determine whether or not it is the real McCoy.

At first glance, it looks legitimate and it seems to be filled out fully, but is what is contained the real information or is it bogus?

Well, let's take a close look at what is contained in that Certificate of Live Birth. First off, the document has a file number of 61-106041 and a registration date of August 8, 1961. The day after Obama was born, a set of twins were born on August 5, 1961 (the Nordyke twins). They had file numbers of 61-106037 and 61-106038. Their birth was registered on August 11, i961 (3 days after Obama's). Since the file numbers run consecutively, how come Obama's file number is greater than the Nordyke twins who were born the day after Obama and were registered 3 days after Obama? How could that be?

Another questionable notation on the “birth certificate” is the entry of where his father was born. It states that he was born in Kenya, East Africa, but there was no country called Kenya in 1961. The country now known as Kenya, got its independence in 1963 (two years after Obama was born). In 1961, the place where Obama Sr. was born was known as the British East Africa Protectorate not Kenya. How could that be?

Another entry on that “birth certificate” that does not jibe is the name of the hospital that he claims he was born in. On the purported “birth certificate”, it states that the name of the hospital was Kapi'olani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital, but there was no hospital by that name until 1978 when Kauikeolani Children's Hospital merged with the Kapi'olani Maternity Home and changed its name to Kapi'olani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital the name that appears on the real “birth certificate” presented by Obama. How could that be?

So instead of settling the matter of his birth once and for all and shutting up the “birthers”, it just muddied up the matter even more.

Are the people in charge of handling Obama's public relations and his personal affairs really incompetent and a throw back to the Keystone Kops or are they just arrogant about telling the truth?

A simple thing like a birth certificate, which most of us have, can, in the wrong hands, or by devious people, can cause multiple questions about the integrity of the person it's supposed to represent and who happens to be our president. If we can't trust him to give us a valid “birth certificate” can we trust him in the other things he has to tell us?

I'd like to see some courageous reporter or a news organization ask Obama or his senior staff if they would vouch for the “birth certificate” they presented to the public, and if they can't, why can't they?
