Obama Sr. filming his son's birth in Kenya
[link:http://crooksandliars.com/mugsy/omg-birther-morons-tout-hilariously-faked-vi|OMG! Birther Morons Tout Hilariously Faked Video of Obama Birth as Real
]
A number of people have already pointed out a lengthy (and sure to grow) list of flaws in this ridiculous film:
-The film is purportedly a "VHS transfer of a Super-8 home movie filmed by Barack Sr." Super-8 (16mm) film first appeared in 1965.
-The conveniently placed Kenyan flag on the baseboard next to the patient chart wasn't adopted until 1963.
-The woman in the video resembles, but clearly is not the woman in the photo of Ann Dunham on the patient chart. Likewise, it would seem unlikely that the Obama's would be traveling with a full-sized enlargement of Ann's YEARBOOK PHOTO that the hospital could attach to her chart rather than take one of their own.
-6 inches of umbilical cord that falls off with no cutting? Umbilical cords are typically around 2-feet long and must be removed with a scalpel or surgical scissors.
-The child is clearly not a newborn. A 15-20lb baby, awake, eyes open and supporting it's own head?
-No placenta. No "slime" on the child upon emerging from a rapid & near effortless birth.

How big was Obama when he was born, 17#?

(4,876 posts)managed to get the Doctors lapel pin, the medical chart with the Kenyan flag next to it and a calendar that mysteriously shows that every day of the month is August 4th.
BTW one mistake up there.. Super8 is NOT 16mm film, it's called Super8 for a reason, it's 8mm film.

Some people just don't know when to quit.

(8,733 posts)AWESOME!!! It is a spectacular! It is a fail of epic proportions! What should disturb all of you more is that some mother let them use her baby to film this shitty birther video. What the hell was that women thinking?? What was the actor playing the doctor thinking?? Would love to know what birther bag of dildos dropped 10's of dollars on this horseshit. Holy shit and a shoe shin these birther assholes make my left nut ache. If this people aren't walking billboards for birth control I don't know what is....these people make me cuss. I'm going to some digging see if I can't figure anything out....got to know what festering ass sore makes shit like this....to be continued.

(36,286 posts)fathers or cameras were in the delivery rooms. Also, wouldn't the chart say Ann Obama?
Not to mention - it really doesn't matter where he was born, his mother was a US citizen!
Come to think of it - he must have been listed on his mother's passport at a young age when they went to Indonesia!

(115,679 posts)Well, that baby is massive. It looks like its at least a year old.
Babies are born heavy all the time; I see no issue with that. And I assure you, most of the general public has no idea how big infants are in Kenya.
What?
You might think the US is a fat society, but in Kenya they are born big and then they become light. Which is evidenced by the fact that today, Obama is really light and fit. Thats just the way it is.

What do you say to people who will undoubtedly claim that this is a fake, and that you or someone else manufactured it?
I tell them try to prove that its not real. I mean, like Trump told the president, the ball is in your court. The ball is in your court, now, Mr. President. We have the proof; what do you have?

(30,058 posts)If the film producers thinks anyone is going to be fooled by their poor quality crap then they are the only ones fooled. I am glad Democrats are smarter and don't fall for their lies. Repubs are gullible to fall for their lies, many still believe he is Arab, a Muslim and on and on.
