I know its not a popular opinion here, but I happen to believe Obama WAS born in Hawaii for one reason only. Both Hawaiian newspapers posted birth announcements shortly after his birth

The problem with that argument is that Obama Sr never lived at the address listed in the birth announcements.

So? The point is, if Obama was born in Kenya, why would there be a birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper a week later? Especially in 1961 when communication (especially from Africa!!) was much more limited that it is now. What would be the motive?

Obama’s father was an African Nationalist and hated the United States. If anything he would have TRUMPETED the fact that his son was born in Africa.
