Vice.com has the video. Now, you might note some slight inconsistencies, like how this purports to be Super 8 film from 1961, when, in Liberal-land, Super 8 didn’t exist until 1965. Also, the flag in the background is the post-colonial Kenyan flag, which didn’t officially come into use until 1963. Or why the hospital bed would even have a flag sticker on it. Or why the camera would focus on it so clearly instead of the action.
Also, you will likely be unable to wrap your minds around the concept of an infant that’s fully as large as a year-old baby being delivered by a woman who is apparently neither anesthetized nor attempting to kill everyone within grabbing range. That has a perfectly reasonable answer:
In addition, Kenyan umbilical cords are never attached to infants; they merely associate with infants, so they may distance themselves from any infant who later turns out to be a Secret Muslim Socialist who gay-married a Pakistani and is also a Fascist Medicare Supporter.
Haha, that’s so obviously a modern recording (poorly) made to look old.
My guess: Someone thought they could make some quick money by making and selling this to Trump or another nutter with too much money and not enough sense.
Nice of the staff to write Stanley Ann’s name in thick Sharpie on her chart, and also of Obama Senior to film it multiple times while his wife was giving birth. Boy, Barack Junior sure popped out quick for such a big baby, didn’t he? One second Ann was pushing, and the next, SPLAT, there he is lying somewhere down around her knees. So alert too, looking around at everything, like he’s thinking WTF? And I LOVED the zooming in on the Kenyan flag pin on the doctor’s pocket at ~43 seconds. It’s details like that that make this video so convincing. And just for kicks, they had a Kenyan flag sticker on the hospital bed at the end. It’s so true, what hospital DOESN’T stick flag stickers in easily-filmed spots in all their maternity wards? You never know when you might have to prove an ersatz American president was actually born in your country 50 years down the road.
Don’t you guys see the Real Truth about this? The Real Obama Birth Video is about to be released, so the Obamacrats quickly ginned up this fake one to confuse people. Now when the Real Video comes out, people will think it’s a fake, too.
It’s just like how NASA did all those fake Moon landing videos in case the Real Videos of the Real Landings ever leak out which prove that the Moon is inhabited by Elvis impersonators who killed Kennedy.
I personally like the Kenyan flag on the end of the bed, just like the big freaking maple leaf at the foot of the bed in Canuck hospitals, and the Great Seal of the United States in the US.
The nurse holds the umbilical cord on with one hand, then removes it without a tool, like she’s doing a magic trick.
Also, holy cow that’s a big grown up, open eyed non-squished looking baby. Do people in Kenyan have a 20 month gestation period, like an elephant?
I would be curious to know why the cameraman felt the need to repeatedly wave his rather caucasian-looking fingers in front of the lens. Is this just the way it was done in 1961? Was it to recreate some old film effect that I somehow never noticed before?
I am terribly impressed that the maternity hospitals of Kenya were so progressive in 1961. I mean, here in the US more than 10 years later, my parents had to fight with the hospital staff for them to let my dad in the labor and delivery room with his wife.
It would have been better had the baby come out waving a Kenyan flag. Or have a window in the background with the Kenyan military performing drills in front of a huge “Welcome to Kenya” sign.
