We stand together in front of the Christmas tree and pose for pictures
I think we are getting far far away from the issues - why was the number of the FILED BY REGISTRAR certificate blocked out, (if a number ever existed) AND is the document presented on the obama website sufficient PROOF of the candidates bona-fide ability to stand for POTUS?
If the answer is NO to these questions, IMO the documentation, such as it is, REQUIRES TO BE CHALLENGED.
But to do that, you need to analyze the data you have to figure out what the ultimate facts are. Here, the timeline is one of the significant considerations and I think points us in a direction.
If I had sufficient resources to do so, I would look at the airline records in December, 1960, and January, 1961 to see if I could see who flew and when. I doubt records remain available but I would check the National Airlines in Kenya, Egypt, and perhaps British Overseas.
I would also look for marriage records in Kenya in the area where Obama Sr. and his family lived and in the principal British administrative locations there.
I also want to know what the birth records look like but I believe someone else has already beaten us there and hope we will have access to them in the US next week or the week following.
I don’t think we are getting far from any issue. I merely commented on pictures others posted to this thread. I’m pursuing the DHS option on Monday. That is the only way to find out about the registrar certificate.
I am taking steps to have Obama and McCain fill out this form.

We all are the employers.
No precedent needs to be set by prior President’s because DHS didn’t have an E Verify program then.
