Two Theories of the Supposed Kenyan Birth Certificate

Two Theories of the Supposed Kenyan Birth Certificate

1. The reason that Obama doesn't just produce the long form Hawaiian birth certificate is that energy being spent on this is energy that can't be spent on analyzing the very serious disasters that Obama and friends are organizing for America (cap-and-trade, health care too complicated for any member of Congress to read). Plus there's the bonus that it makes anyone raises the issue look like an idiot.

I don't find this a particularly plausible theory because until this last weekend, there has been no discussion in the mainstream media about it--and it isn't like there hasn't been an enormous amount of careful (and some not so careful) analysis of Obama's policy proposals. To tie up World Net Daily on this is really worth a million dollars? I am inclined to think that Obama really was born in Hawaii, but there is something really embarrassing about the long form birth certificate that is worth a million dollars.

2. The Kenyan birth certificate dated 1964 is, in fact, an actual document, but produced fraudulently by a corrupt registrar there at the request of Obama's father so that Barack Obama could go into Kenyan politics. (Remember that he has a cousin who made a serious try there a couple of years ago.) Is that Byzantine enough for you?
