“Contemporary newspaper listings in Honolulu, for example, list the time and place of his birth.”
The birth announcement in the paper is meaningless. Remember it was 1961 Hawaii. At home births were common if not the rule. To get a birth announcement in the paper all you had to do was call them and say, “Hi, I/my wife/sister/girlfriend/daughter/etc. just had a baby boy on Tuesday and we’d like it announced in the paper”. Hell Barry’s Commie Baby Momma could have done it herself from Canada.
I’d like to remind everyone that the birth announcement did not mention Barack Hussein Obama II by name. It said “a son”. Nor did it mention a mother. It said “Mrs.”
Barack Hussein Obama Senior had four or more wives during his lifetime. At that particular time, indications are that he had three wives, at least: Kezia, Stanley Ann, and a wife in the Philippines.
Which “Mrs.” gave birth to “a son?”
The announcement also did not state a place of birth. The son could have been born in Kenya; his mother could have been Mrs. Martha Stewart Obama; his name could have been Daffy Duck Stewart-Obama; and he still would have fit the “facts” in that announcement. However, he would not be a natural born citizen of the USA. Hawaiian law at the time would have allowed for him to have his birth registered in Hawaii.
