"Danae and rxsid posted on Leo’s blog too. They may remember what I’m talking about or have more information."
You may recall that I also posted on Leo's blog and I was one of those that he repeatedly slammed for suggesting that his NBC theory might collapse if the Dunham-Obama marriage couldn't be proved or was bigamous. Leo suddenly became interested in proving the marriage existed via obtaining the HI index, which was a great investigative success when it was found.
While I have the highest respect for and interest in Leo's NBC research, Leo has "jumped the shark" on several occasions by overstating his conclusions relative to the "evidence".
Claiming "affirmation" based on "refusal to deny" and other Boolean gymnastics may be warranted in logic theory, but bureaucratic reality tends to be far more messy because of the human factor.
"Show me Obama's HI vital records!"
The UIPA requests got real messy when the DOH started claiming that applications, requests, receipts, post-it notes, etc. are PART of the vital record in question. In such a case, the index data becomes suspect, because it may represent a file folder containing nothing more than post-it notes and chewing gum wrappers. That’s why I wasn’t convinced that the alleged SAD marriage index data was proof of anything. It may just be a marriage license application. The best proof the couple was married was a divorce record, except that it lacks any tangible acknowledgment from the husband of the marriage or paternity. It’s like SAD created a paper trail that was woefully short of concrete evidence. Also, don’t most states require witness to sign the marriage certificates?? The story was there were no guests and no named witnesses of the marriage.
I agree that Barak Sr. may have been a bigamist whose marriage to SAD would legally be invalidated and thus make Barry II illegitimate. (This is Barry’s best shot at being a natural born citizen, except that it relies on the statutory definition of natural born.) The only problem is that there is no documentary evidence of Barak Sr.’s marriage to Kezia, which could mean he wasn’t really a bigamist. The perfect storm of missing documentations rolls on.
