That would also explain routine discrepancies in the reporting of his age.
One site claims he was 3 in 67.
His birth certificate says he was born in 61.
The other site says that he went to Indonesia in 67 when he was 6 after his parent's marriage failed.
Would his parents marriage have failed though in 62 or 65?
Those are the alternate dates listed for when his dad went to Harvard.
Could he have been 6 sometime between 62 and 65 rather than 67 as mentioned in the article and could he have been born before Hawaii was a state?
Didn't Obama support an interpretation of natural born as including born in a US territory outside of a military base?
It has been mentioned on this thread that he was told by an advisor not to answer a question about Hawaii's statehood right?
A real birth certificate needed to answer all of these questions I guess.

If that other site was to be correct on Obama being 3 in 1967 and if Obama's reported biological father left in 62 to Harvard then could Barack have a different father?

Doesn't seem this second site is correct though.
Would be a lot easier if they would just produce an easily authenticated birth certificate.
This would mean that she was born in 1963. So how could she have been a baby in this picture where Obama looks clearly older than 2 years old?
If Obama is over 4 years old in this picture as he appears wouldn't that mean that he was born before Hawaii became a state?
It appears that there is a larger than 3 year age difference between Obama and Maya from the picture.

'...After the marriage failed, a 6-year-old Obama left Hawaii to spend four years in Indonesia with his mother and Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. In 1971, Obama's mother sent him back to Honolulu to stay with his maternal grandparents...'
The problem with that little fairy tale is, the sister doesn't say HOW LONG after the marriage failed...
Obama Snr went to Harvard in 1962. Obama the child was then barely a year old. When Obama was 6 or seven years old, he was taken to Indonesia by his mother and Lolo Soetoro, whom we are told, adopted the child.
Here is an image of obama at an Indonesian school:
>>>It has been mentioned on this thread that he was told by an advisor not to answer a question about Hawaii’s statehood right?
Do we have any idea who that advisor is? Sounds like that person is more than an advisor. He/she may be one of the creators of the ‘this is your new life’ past.
