1/3rd of conservatives still think Obama not born in U.S.

I'm going to hold you to that.

Zoom in on this 1950 map of Africa, and you will see Kenya, plain as day.

And here's a 1960 map of Africa showing....Kenya.

The name "Kenya" originated in 1920. At the time it was a British colony, and it remained so until its independence in 1963.

At the time of his birth in Hawaii, Obama's father was a British subject who was born and lived in the colony of Kenya.

Anyone hear crickets?

The next claim (which has been around a long time) is that Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by the constitution.

There are plently of places that address that, but I think this site does it pretty well without getting too bogged down in legal terms...

He still won't give it up. He's an enemy operative from the Green Party determined to make every conservative in the country look like twits.

Chickaree:

I said I would give it up. Why don't you? Or is it that time of the YEAR?

Whoops wrong thread!

Even before Kenya officially became the Republic of Kenya in 1964, it was still called Kenya by Kenyans, the British called it The East Africa Protectorate.....It's a convoluted story, too much to post here...but go to wikipedia, or any other site that has the Kenyan history and you will see where the name Kenya was used by the people long before it became officially the Republic of Kenya.

I see I was late on getting this posted, that's what I get for not submitting immediatelly.

Because all of you er' ladies won't stop, here is one more fact you can address:

“Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital and according to the information there, the name of the hospital at the time of his birth should have been Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital. According to the web site the name didn’t change to Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital merged with Kapi‘olani Maternity Home in 1978. So how could his official long form birth certificate that was generated in 1961 have the name of the hospital that wasn’t created until 1978?””
