Go look at Basil's post, "Yes the birth certificate is real!"
Don't bother to thank me.

Andy sports his "tin-foil-hat." Again...
I'll tell y'all...since I shaved my head, this tin-foil-hat really warms me up quick! I mean, it's almost like a black cornbread skillet...heats up fast, and cools off slow.
Okay, I'm just doing this to clear a bunch of Firefox tabs that I've had open since yesterday. Kinda...
Our good friend, Paul Mitchell linked to an old post he found from June 27, 2004 a couple of days ago. The article found here is headlined, "Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate."
My initial thought was, "this is a faked up deal," but it seems that this is a real publication headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. The East African Standard seems to be a long published newspaper that also posts an online edition, focusing on important East African issues, news, sports, LOCAL FOLKS DONE GOOD, etc.
Now, just to take my blazing hot hat off for a moment, the first article linked to was done by a news organization. In Kenya. So, it's likely only about 40 times more reliable than ANY news article done by a US newspaper...which means that it's likely not accurate at all.
But, I find it interesting that Kenyans assumed early on in ObozO's political rise that he was one of their native-born sons. I can only suppose that it was assumed as a fact, due to word of mouth, or some recorded info that the particular reporter had viewed, or maybe from speaking with people like ObozO's kinfolks that were there at the hospital in Nairobi when he was born (like they've recounted to others from less reliable news organizations here in the US).
Or, maybe it's just a figment of the writer's imagination, or a bold faced lie designed to trick them Kenyans!
Yeah, that's probably it...just trying to make Kenya look good to Kenyans.
Is it going to make any difference? Heck no! But it is interesting to me. And I needed to clear these Firefox tabs I've had open for a while.
