I would also like to point out that President Obama's latest long form certificate of live birth says his father was from Kenya, East Africa on BHO's birth year of 1961. But Kenya did not exist until December 12, 1963 when this country claimed independence from the United Kingdom. The Republic of Kenya was declared one year later in 1964.
"The Colony and Protectorate of Kenya was part of the British Empire in Africa. It was established when the former East Africa Protectorate was transformed into a British crown colony in 1920. Technically, the "Colony of Kenya" referred to the interior lands, while a ten-mile coastal strip (ostensibly on lease from the Sultan of Zanzibar) was the "Protectorate of Kenya" but the two were controlled as a single administrative unit.
The colony came to an end in 1963 when independence was agreed with the British. After independence the former colony became known as Kenya." [source: wikipedia]
