I was born in New York City more than 30 (almost 40!) years ago ... or was I? Closely examine this new document which just came to light:

While I go ask my mother some tough questions about my real history, you can generate your own Kenyan birth certificate at the Kenyan Birth Certificate Generator site. (But remember that the information listed is the stuff of password security checks and the like -- when you make your Kenyan birth certificate you might not want to use real names and dates.)

John McCain was not born on the Atlantic side of the Panama isthmus.... he was born while his father was stationed at Rodman Naval Air Station, most likely at Gorgas Hospital in Ancon, CZ. Any child born of US citizens in any country outside the USA is a US citizen at birth, he was most likely registered at the US Embassy as a citizen born outside the US. It has never ceased to amaze me at how many "educated" people have absolutely no concept at all of the 97 years of America in Panama. All the posts on here are opinions of the poster's - not facts.
