Kenyan Government: Obama's "Kenyan birth certificate" is a hoax

Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 09:29 PM by Becky72

The website Politifact.com contacted the Kenyan Prime Minister and received this answer by email from his spokesman:

"It's a forgery. Kenya only became a Republic in December, 1964. Other arguments could also be marshaled, but they are not needed."

...

Then came a crushing blow. An astute blogger, Steve Eddy of California, did a Google image search and came across an eerily similar-looking birth certificate posted on a genealogy web site by a South Australia man named David Jeffrey Bomford. Eddy put it side-by-side with the Obama one. Same format. Same book and page number in the birth registry. Some of the officials' last names were even the same.

"At that point, it was pretty obvious the Kenyan one was a fake, that someone had used this real one from Australia to make their version," Eddy told us.
