Nothing to see here... move along...
I swear you must be making this sh*t up as you go along.
Maybe I am not reading everything, but all I can gather from these links is that Barack Obama went by “Barry”. Not “Barry Soetoro” as you state in the headline. Could it not be that he went by “Barry Obama”? Not much of a stretch and hardly an indication that he went by his mother’s married name.
I am not saying I believe Obama is constitutionally eligible to serve as President, but we need to make sure that we are not posting easily refuted “evidence” from a ambiguous wordpress blog with no references or sources.
Stay focused. The proof will come.
SOP for the pathological liar known now as BHO.
BUMP
Ditto to some of the other comments, I’m only seeing the nickname ‘Barry’ in these, nothing about using a foreign passport or different last name. Where did you get that from? Just using the nickname Barry is not damning..
I didn’t see anything in your links that claimed he used the name Soetero during college.
I think you are very likely right, but I don’t see any proof of it here.
It would be good to see some of his various college records, which he refuses to release.
Occidental did make his bizarre poems public, since they were already part of the public record. And they did state that it was a lie that Barry was on the varsity basketball team, since that also was public record, if any reporters had bothered to check.
But we still dont KNOW that he applied as Barry Soetoro, Indonesian citizen, although it’s certainly very likely.
OK, so a few people recall him from Occidental. But why does nobody from Columbia (at the time he allegedly went there) seem to have known him?
Who are these non-believers who Obama is referring to?
Thanks.
(Excuse me, I screwed up post #50)
“There is no credible evidence within the links of this post that suggest Obama used the last name “Soetoro” on a passport.”
“…those that truly want an answer to his eligibility.”
The first sentence may be true; however, it seems unwise in this case to reject out of hand a possibility merely because it has no “credible” basis.
Seemingly, the only relevant fact we are allowed to know is that O has made a substantial effort to seal, or otherwise avoid disclosing relevant documents.
When it is obvious that factual evidence has been intentionally and skillfully (?) removed from the public realm - almost certainly with the intent to deceive - it becomes necessary to speculate, to brainstorm, to reach out and thoroughly examine any information that could lead to a fact or a part of the answer.
Our inquiry should not be limited to a cold calculation of hard facts, such facts are not yet available.

EXCERPT
Obama’s mom and Soetoro -Ng went back to Indonesia and Obama went to Occidental College in Los Angeles, where he led an anti-apartheid demonstration and wrestled with his white/black/Hawaiian identity. After two years, he transferred to Columbia University in New York.

Kenneth Sulzer, who lived in the same dormitory as Obama, remembered long discussions about politics, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and a possible reinstitution of the draft. Obama was “relatively quiet. But when he spoke, his opinion was respected,” said Sulzer, now an attorney in Los Angeles.
The two took classes together and Sulzer was struck by the clarity and conciseness of Obama’s mind. “I would take down everything the professor said and dissect it 12 times,” Sulzer said. “Barry printed his notes. And it was very short. Probably just one long paragraph.”
Another classmate, Amiekoleh “Kim” Kimbrew of Los Angeles, recalled Obama striding across campus in flip-flops.
“He was very popular,” she said. “There were rumors that he was a Hawaiian prince. ... He was kind of flirty, but he wasn’t a player.”
Some took Obama’s professed radicalism as posturing. “I was impressed by the sharpness of Barry’s intellect and, like many, his effortless charm,” said classmate Mark Dery, a journalism professor at New York University. But “I also harbored an instinctual suspicion of his ... suave demeanor.”
Somewhere along the line Barry, the name of the boy from Waikiki, gave way to Barack, the name he inherited from his Kenyan father.
For the most part, Obama’s commitment to social activism was limited to coffeehouse talk. But near the end of his time at Occidental, he got caught up in protests against apartheid in South Africa, helping plan a large campus rally demanding that the college divest investments there.
He opened the rally in a bit of street theater, he recalls in his memoir, speaking for a couple of minutes until two white students in paramilitary dress dragged him away in midsentence. That cameo so impressed Rebecca Rivera, another rally participant, that she wondered why he hadn’t been more politically active on campus. She made a mental note at the time to “try to get him involved.”
Obama spent just two years at Occidental. He said in a recent interview that he had begun to weary of the parties and fretted about a lackadaisical approach to his studies. He grew more introspective and serious. His mother’s warnings were beginning to take hold.
How does this prove that "he went by the name of Barry Soetoro?"
BTTT
And then lied on his application for the Illinois bar about having ever gone by any other name than Barack Obama.
Had it read, President Barry Soetoro, the lightbulb in Tom's head, would have exploded.
Significant also is the comment that Barry stood out by being invisible at Occidental (shunning all of the white students, no doubt). Barry was also pretty invisible at Columbia, at the Harvard Law Review, and at the Illinois Senate.
So, NOW, Barry is visible, but his Romulan Cloaking Device is still hiding all of his records.
Is he dishonest or just stupid?
There's no indication in any of you links that he ever sent by Sotero. The mere fact that his friends called him Barry at one point doesn't prove he ever went by Sotero.
Obama derangement syndrome strikes again.
