Thanks for the in-depth response. Would he have been “stateless” if his Indonesian citizenship was voided? Wouldn’t he still be a US citizen, provided he was born in Hawaii, which we don’t know for certain?
Ann took him off her passport, he got an Indonesian one, and he traveled to Hawaii where he met up with BHO, who then handled the paperwork to have him declared a Kenyan citizen. It’s confusing.
There are photos of Ann in Hawaii at Christmas time, when BHO was still there. Barry is in them, too. Both parents were there. She traveled on her US passport? Barry on his Indonesian one? Then what?
They gave guardianship to her parents who perhaps adopted him? That would seal the original birth records and even if it was later put back the way he wants us to believe it originally read, Hawaiian laws state that all amendments have to be listed on any certified copies.
Whatever happened, that’s probably what they’re hiding. What was it they say about Watergate? It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup? They’ve dug a deep hole now.
So what if this was legal and done to transfer him from a dangerous situation (which sounds like obot rationalization. Sorry.) I don’t believe that because they took him there precisely when it was dangerous. By the time he came back, things had settled down, I believe.
But he lied about it, which is the big problem. He ought to have explained it from the beginning, if it was on the up and up. Why instead send Lakin to prison?
I think we can agree that in 1971 something unusual happened.
For what ever reason Obama II immigrated from Indonesia to the US...without a change in status of his parents at the time. The ‘obot rationalization’ is just a ‘possible’ explanation of why this action was done. If you look through the archives you will see that the obots buzzed with anger when ever anything was brought up about Indonesia. It seemed they liked people to be focused on Hawaii and 1961. Not Indonesia and 1971. The dangerous Indonesia IS just a POSSIBLE and rational explanation for this unusual move.
The need for Obama senior is where this is interesting. His trip was supposedly paid for by the Dunhams and he supposedly stayed at their same apartment complex. Odd arrange for a man and his former in-laws after he supposedly abandoned his family.
He was the one who could ‘cleanly’ extract his namesake son from Indonesian citizenship and be a conduit. Think about it. If you are grandparents are you going to take guardianship of ‘dual citizen’ child. Especially where the other country is one that is in the region of US wars (remember this was the height of Vietnam action). So they probably wanted this very, very cut and dry with no international entanglements remaining. Obama senior was needed. The ‘grand reunion’ of December 1971 was not happen-stance.
