Obama was born where?

"Hi Tom,  I have seen his Kenyan Birth Certificate.  It looks a lot more official that the garbage shown from Hawaii.  
Now I see that Obama is not only, illegally holding the office of the US President but also Security - United Nations, in direct violation of the US Constitution.  Which master does he serve?"

Aloha Michael,

In 1961 Kenya was a British colony.  Obama's father was a British citizen.  If Obama was born in Kenya, he would have been issued a British Passport and his birth would have been recorded by the office of Sir. Edward F. Lavender who was the British colonial minister for records in Mombasa, Kenya in 1961.  That record doesn't exist.  Fox news sent a reporter to Hawaii and found two notices of Obama's birth in two different local newspapers from 1961 and a lot of people remember it.

But wait.  John McCain was born in Panama.  In case you haven't noticed, Panama is a foreign country.  Even though the United States used to control the Canal Zone, it was still in Panama. Congress simply declared McCain 'Natural born' by passing a bill and if it had been necessary they could have done the same with Obama.  Even if Obama HAD been born in Kenya, he is an American citizen for exactly the same reason John McCain is.  I was born in Germany.  I am an American citizen by birth.  The founding fathers never defined 'natural born'.  

I'll bet the birth certificate you saw said "Dominion of Kenya", didn't it.  

From the official Parliament of Kenya web site: 

The interim period of Internal Self-government, did not witness any major constitutional changes. The constitutional provisions finalized in February, 1963 remained virtually the same. At midnight on December 11, 1963 , Kenya regained Independence from the United Kingdom. 

Kenya remained a dominion within the British Commonwealth , with a Governor-General representing Her Majesty locally and a Government headed by a Prime Minister. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, leader of the majority party in Parliament, became the first Prime Minister, heading a cabinet of fifteen Ministers and thirteen Parliamentary Secretaries. The late Ronald Gideon Ngala, leader of K.A.D.U. and Mr. Paul Joseph Ngei, leader of A. P. P. formed a Coalition Opposition under leadership of the former.

The composition to the Legislature and the framework of the Government at Independence remained in place until the first anniversary. Arising from close negotiations between the Government and the Opposition, a merger of all the parties represented in the House, under the Kenya African National Union - K.A.N.U. and under the leadership of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was concluded and took effect on December 12, 1964 with the voluntary dissolution of the Kenya African Democratic Union - K.A.D.U. and the African Peoples Party - A.P.P. This merger meant an unanticipated de facto one party status. On December 12, 1964 , Kenya declared herself a Sovereign Republic within the Commonwealth. Mzee Kenyatta become the first President, heading a Cabinet of eighteen Ministers. 
----
In Feb 1964 that it was not clear that a Republic was in the works, and forms were certainly not being printed - even if they were, they would not have said 'Dominion of Kenya". According to Kenya,

colonial-era documents were marked "Colony and Protectorate of Kenya", while Republic-era are "Government of Kenya".  Stamps in the Dominion period just said KENYA.  Republic of Kenya Stamps were issued Dec 12, 1964.

You birthers are beating a dead horse.  If Obama isn't a citizen, neither in McCain.  Give it up.
