The document is dated 17 February 1964 and a bears a legend identifying it as having been issued by the “Republic of Kenya,” but Kenya (a former British colony) didn’t officially adopt that name until 12 December 1964. In February 1964, it was known as the Dominion of Kenya.
The listed age of Barack Obama’s father is incorrect. (Barack Obama Sr. was born in 1936 and therefore would have been 24 or 25 years old at the time of Barack Jr.’s birth, not 26 as shown on the document.)
Mombasa is very far (several hundred miles) away from the part of Kenya in which Barack Obama Sr.’s family lived. Even if Barack Obama’s parents and family had wanted to travel away from their home so his birth could take place at hospital facilities within a large city, they would likely have set out for the much closer city of Nairobi.

He doesn't have a Kenyan birth certificate. That hoax has been debunked for close to a decade at this point.

According to Fact-check the “Kenyan Birth Certificate” is a big fake. But whatever.
Why is it fake? Well here you go.

Check AboveBoard's above post outlining the discrepancies in the Kenyan "birth certificate."
Meanwhile, there's actually a memo dated August 31, 1961 from INS that states Barack Obama Sr. had a son named Barack Obama II born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961. Do you really think the government would be going out of their way to cover up Obama's birth location just weeks after he was born?

I addressed that in an edit on my post, as a late response.
The Honolulu issue is an odd duck in this. There was a bit of Communist connection going on at the time in Hawaii, and a simple issue of a payoff could have been done. While I would like to think that this didn't happen, I didn't poke around Hawaii for this and can offer no evidence to the thought.

He meant that his heritage was Kenyan, at least that is how I took it. His mother was a United States Citizen, so he automatically was a citizen of the U.S.

All the more interesting that his folks are said to have met in a Russian language class in Hawaii....

So the Obamas flew 48 hours to Kenya while Ann was fit to burst. They then drove hours out of their way to give birth in Mombasa even though Nairobi would have been much more convenient. They then managed to pay off the right people in America to doctor up a fake birth certificate and have it in place in the few weeks between Obama's birth and the INS memo. Oh yeah, and they would have had to have managed that while still in Kenya since nobody is going to allow a three week old on a 48 hour flight.
What part of that narrative makes any sense whatsoever?

It’s impossible to have misspoken if you’ve told the truth.
Agreed....like the first minute mark when he said his first trip to Kenya was at 27.
or oh...you were meaning when he was telling the kenyan audience he was a kenyan...much like how Bill O'Reilly is a irishman, etc.
No I’m referring to the part where he said “Three years ago I was speaking to you as the first American President to COME FROM Kenya.”
I’m Irish but I didn’t COME FROM Ireland.
By the way I’m referencing the video posted in the OP just like everyone else is or should be.
It's no use. Logic defies these people. He's speaking about his heritage... LOL
I ALWAYS tell people I'm from Lithuania by way of Pennsylvania...
So he misspoke.
Like I said just because I am Irish doesn’t mean I came from Ireland. He misspoke. You are the one with flawed logic.
He misspoke? Ah, yeah. I forgetfully say I’m from Lithuania all of the time. Lol.

This has been long ago debunked, even Trump now admits that Obama is actually American
I'm pretty sure that trump is just giving lip service to the idea and that he still believes that Obama is from Africa.

The timeline comes from the fact that Obama was born August 4, 1961 and the memo is dated August 31, 1961. So that only gives a few weeks for your narrative to occur. It should be noted that this memo wasn't written on friendly terms. Starting in at least 1961 the INS were monitoring Obama Sr. because of his "playboy ways," multiple marriages, and interracial relationships. They were so disturbed by his relationship with Dunham that they conspired with Harvard in 1964 to get him out of the country.
So Obama Sr. was a big enough person of interest for INS that they had him being monitored and even conspired with a university to get him out of the country since they had no legal grounds to deport him, but they didn't notice that he left the country and had a child overseas before returning to the US?
