1961 and the Birth Certificate does not have a British seal?
Kenya become independent of Great Britain in 1963. The Crown would be present still on a Kenyan birth certificate.
A very inaccurate historical fake

Question: If the Kenya BC is a copy (Issued in 1964 for Obama's Mothers Divorce Lawyer)of the original, where is the original BC??

Look more carefully. You are repeating the mistake of the blogger. The registrar certified it in 1964, not in 1961 - the year when Obama was born.

Damn, I hate it when he's right...
Some of YOUR research work?
So are YOU the one who originated the list of debunked problems with the BO BC on DemocraticUnderground? Or did you just copy and past the list from there or elsewhere, post it here without having a clue if any of it was true, and call it "research"?

The racism thing is relevant to this discussion though as pointed out above there's no new facts here its just a pissing contest about the constitution and hoaxes. It doesn't need to be peppered with a racist eye but it is, and its something that can't be helped. Its problably 5 generations from now before someone can claim they're truely fighting so hard to prove this is real to uphold the sanctity of the constitution but for now everyone including myself is just pushing an agenda.
Isn't it about time the rhetoric was canned, and this was looked at carefully, taking the best parts of both sides of the argument and measuring them up against each other with a cold and detached eye. Partisan bickering is pointless.
From World Net Daily (WND):
"An online copy of the Kenya Constitution, "adopted in 1963, amended in 1999," states: "CHAPTER I - THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA, Article 1, Kenya is a sovereign Republic. Article 1A, The Republic of Kenya shall be a multiparty democratic state…" "
So the Kenyan Constitution refers to itself beginning in 1963 as "THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA."
WND also notes that they examined additional Kenyan birth certificates and concluded they were identical in format.
The hospital on the Kenyan birth certificate is in Mombasa, Kenya. Mombasa is in what was is known as the "ten-mile strip", an area of land which was part of the British Protectorate. It was "special" land to the Brits, the soon-to-be Kenyans, and Zanzibar ALL WANTED in 1963-1964.
This same area would become part of the Coastal Province of Kenya, as shown on the birth certificate. On the 5th October 1963, more than 2 months before Kenyan declared independence, an Agreement was actually executed in the form of an exchange of letters between the Prime Ministers of Kenya and Zanzibar Messrs Jomo Kenyatta and M. Shamte respectively.
Simply put: it appears Obama was born in a region of Kenya that declared itself the Republic of Kenya before Dec. 12, 1964.
Please learn more -- it's a little more complicated that it appears:

The number on the certificate, 47,044. That's the only thing that can't be explained

“We do not have computerized records going back to the 1960’s and can only sort through our archives by hand,” Dr. Christopher Mwanga, an administrator at the Mombasa hospital tells GLOBE. “We have searched for all the names of babies born on Aug. 4, 1961, and have not found the name of Barack Hussein Obama. That is all I can tell you.”

As pointed out, there's a lot of inconsistencies with this document.

So this thread is now labeled as a HOAX huh?
Why then can you do a people search and find people who's first name starts with an E and their last name is "Lavender"?
I think they are jumping the gun on this personally. The only way to tell if this is a real person or not is to obtain a list of the government employee's and what h registrars name was in 1961.

The document is just another in an increasingly long line of fakes intended to prove Obama wasn't born in the U.S. How do we know? First of all, Obama was born in Hawaii. He has released a copy of his actual birth certificate -- the same kind of copy anyone requesting their birth certificate from the state would get -- and it has repeatedly been authenticated by Hawaii officials. They've also said that they've checked the original record in their files, and that Obama was born in Hawaii. Those records are supported by two newspaper announcements from the time of the president's birth -- and those announcements weren't submitted by the family, but taken from hospital records.
To hear the Birthers tell it, their Holy Grail has been found: Over the weekend, de facto movement leader Orly Taitz released a photo of what is supposedly a certified copy of a Kenyan birth certificate for President Obama, which shows that he was born in Mombasa, Kenya and not in Hawaii.
The movement is, naturally, all abuzz. But even people who might normally be inclined to support it, like the founder of conservative forum FreeRepublic.com and the Birthers' favorite self-proclaimed document expert, who declared Obama's Hawaiian certification of live birth a forgery, are calling foul. The document is just another in an increasingly long line of fakes intended to prove Obama wasn't born in the U.S.

The Birthers won't care about that, of course -- they haven't yet.
