Obama's birth certificate - hot takes from twitter I'm unclear why its suddenly of interest again, but i saw two Obama birth certificate tweets in quick succession with some solid and pretty convincing , verifiable proof of bogusness-ness. https://twitter.com/Akraw12345/status/1016383638303313922 and https://twitter.com/ChiccaDoro2018/status/1016945498161180672 the first one's accusations are that: In 1961 authorities still used the term 'negro'. Why then does it say 'African American' on Obama's B.C Kenya wasnt called Kenya until 1963 . Prior to then it was called British East Africa The hospital he is alleged to have been born in undertook a name change in 1978. Why does the B.C. have that name if it was issued in 61? Also claims Obama was proud of his father's ww2 service, but the BC suggests he was only 3 yrs old in 1939 The second link alleges to provide an image of Obama's 'real' B.C. - from Mombasa , Republic of Kenya, filed in 1964 but in reference to the birth on 4 august 1961  however, that 'real BC' is a different document to the one Obama's half Brother Malik tweeted in march 2017 (but notably its the 1961 document not the '64 filing ) https://twitter.com/JustMy_NameHere/status/839958079320043521 things that make you go hmmm.
