The biography provided by Barack Obama to his literary agent specified his birthplace as "Kenya". And, over the course of 17 years, despite multiple revisions by Obama, the Kenyan birthplace remained a fundamental part of the bio on the agent's website.
Was Barack actually born in Kenya? I seriously doubt it, even though Michelle Obama has publicly stated that Kenya is her husband's "home country". Contemporary newspaper listings in Honolulu, for example, list the time and place of his birth. While this isn't ironclad proof, to be sure, it's good enough for me.
No, my suspicion is that Mr. Obama manipulated his birthplace intentionally (and cynically) to take advantage of certain benefits unavailable to those born in the United States.
Bookworm Room describes why that might have been. We need to set the Wayback Machine to 1978, when young Obama was seeking admission to college.
1978 isn’t just any year. It’s a very special year. It was the year that the Supreme Court decided Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978) 438 U.S. 265... [and] held that [the] race-based admission process was unconstitutional.
With that decision, Obama, who was a self-confessed slacker in high school, suddenly lost his e-ticket to a good college. He couldn’t know then (nor would it have mattered) that the various concurrences in this deeply divided opinion would eventually open the door to colleges and universities making race a “factor” in admission, so much so that this “factor-ness” eventually created a whole new quota system.
My best guess is that, denied an opportunity to use quota systems to parlay a lousy academic record into a quality college admission, Obama searched around for other means of bypassing his academic failings. It was this search that led him to announce that he was Kenyan. I’m sure that a certain amount of digging will reveal that, just when the Bakke decision came down, American universities were engaged in some sort of pro-active policy involving increasing the number of African nationals on America’s college campuses. Obama was happy to oblige the universities in this effort by co-opting his father’s nationality, and burying the fact that he was a garden-variety American black kid.
There’s the nexus — In 1978, Obama, who already then was willing to lie to achieve his goals, created a false identity to deal with the changes the Bakke decision wrought on college admissions.
This appears to be an extremely plausible explanation for Obama's refusal to release any of his college transcripts.
My guess is that this scenario -- or one similar to it -- helps explain why Obama enjoys the company of race-hustlers like Al Sharpton.
And where was the media for lo these many years? Busy investigating Sarah Palin's elementary school chums?
I’d like to remind everyone that the birth announcement did not mention Barack Hussein Obama II by name. It said “a son”. Nor did it mention a mother. It said “Mrs.”
Barack Hussein Obama Senior had four or more wives during his lifetime. At that particular time, indications are that he had three wives, at least: Kezia, Stanley Ann, and a wife in the Philippines.
Which “Mrs.” gave birth to “a son?”
The announcement also did not state a place of birth. The son could have been born in Kenya; his mother could have been Mrs. Martha Stewart Obama; his name could have been Daffy Duck Stewart-Obama; and he still would have fit the “facts” in that announcement. However, he would not be a natural born citizen of the USA. Hawaiian law at the time would have allowed for him to have his birth registered in Hawaii.
Go back to my original post... WAY back when. I think he’s a liar. I think he lied about being born in Africa because he thought the meme of the “exotic foreigner” would help his career back when was a nobody law student. And I think that lie played out a little further than he would have liked.
Arizona is not content with what has been provided because no one has provided them anything. They’ve just seen the copy that the Obama campaign produced. They want to see real proof directly from the State of Hawaii. Which they should.
I have quite a number of images of both Colbs and long form BC’s, I wouldn’t post anything in reply to you, if you want something, go and find it. I don’t like your tone or attitude. Do not post to me again.
Right. Thats your way of saying “i got nothing”. Because you don’t.
Are you really that much of a wimp? Sheesh. I thought our side was a little tougher. But if you want to take your ball and stomp on home, go ahead. Maybe you’ll win the next one.
Who said the mother GOT PREGNANT in Kenya? It takes 9 months and people can travel all over the world. Who says the mother of the child got pregnant BY Barack Hussein Obama Sr.? Kenya was a British colony. There were plenty of white people in Kenya. The point is, he could have been born in Kenya because nobody KNOWS FOR CERTAIN who his parents were. You’re right that he does look not so black. He could be Filipino. He could be Native Hawaiian. He could be Indonesian. Without certified PAPER documents, whatever he SAYS about himself is meaningless. It’s proof of nothing. We know from his compressed girlfriends and his made-up biography, full of invented conversations and composite people, that he cannot be believed. Isn’t it amazing, when you think about it, how so many records that WOULD document his life for posterity are simply MISSING?
Exactly! And that is what I am saying, and I quote ”There is no excuse for the POTUS not to follow the laws of this nation. Providing a Birth Certificate is one of the simplest things to provide. Not doing so is unacceptable. I find it unacceptable for an elected government official to be above the laws of this great nation. By doing so, Obama shows his disrespect to the people and the laws of this nation.”

Now whether Obama is born in Hawaii is almost moot at this point. His belief that he is above the law pisses me off. I'm fine with the fact you believe he lied about Kenya, but because as you said, Arizona is not content with what has been provided, people can argue their position that he was born in Kenya because he said so for 16 years and has to date not provided proof otherwise.
Bigdaddy45, I think we are on the same page. I think.

Yippee! We can now go to bed and sleep well. : )
This is illogical. Why would Hillary serve as SOS for someone who had threatened them into silence? All the Clintons would have to do is call a press conference and spill everything. Before they did that, they could call the key power brokers in the party and inform them of the situation and what they were going to do so they would have supporters with them. They would come out winners and the Obama wing of the party would be discredited and destroyed. Not only that, there might be more than a few of them indicted and convicted of crimes.
The Clintons are going to get their revenge for the 2008 primary (SC was especially painful for them). When Obama loses in Nov. and the GOP keeps the House and wins the Senate, the Obama wing will be toast. Party leaders will go crawling back to the Clintons and plead with them to rebuild the party from the ashes. That's what the Clintons go to bed every night dreaming about.
And why does it have to be from Kenya? Have a look at the arrivals from overseas upthread I posted - from July 31, 1961 until June 30, 1962... There’s only ONE entry for Kenya, and that has to be OMAR who met the kenyan in the US after he left Hawaii on 22nd June, 1962. Omar attended a private high school, he and the kenyan shared accommodation in Cambridge.
If it’s not Omar, then aren’t we assuming an infant travelled alone, and Omar wasn’t listed?

You got it...the name of his wife was shown as Ann S Obama in the Polk, she was the girl sitting next to him at the Nachannofs, she ended up in Seattle with her son, Mary babysat him in January 1961, when her own daughter who was born in July 1959 was 18 months of age, and Stanley Ann Dunham was still in high school somewhere...when that child was conceived.
She’s shown as Anna Obama in Seattle. She’s probably the wife the kenyan meant when he told the INS he had a wife from whom he was separated, living in the Phillipines.
That child is the original BHO2 and when the kenyan left the US in Fall 1964, or when Ruth followed him a few weeks later, one of them took that boy to Kenya.
When Ayres wrote ‘Dreams’ they left out Mercer Island High School and the Seattle story, and that’s why we can’t find a yearbook that shows her graduation in 1960, and ANNA OBAMA wasn’t meant to be found!
AND YOUR ATTITUDE IS DISGUSTING.
Hmmmm !
There IS a South American reptile called an aboma.
Except that Freeper Racebannon has Obama telling the "born in Kenya" story back in 1980 when he would have been around 18 years old in Hawaii.

"But the next man I want to speak of is the most important of all. And I want to express here, what I am about to tell you, I believe with all sincerity and truthfulness. I am making nothing up here, except maybe a few words to keep a written dialog in readable form, but I believe I met Barak Obama in Hawaii in 1980 in Honolulu.
It was after we had come home from that float. The rescue attempt had happened in Iran . My squadron was flying search and rescue the day the aircraft left the USS Nimitz on the afternoon of April 24, 1980 in the Arabian Sea . After the mission was aborted and the crash happened, our ship had set sail to Mombassa for liberty.
The ship spent 4 days in Mombassa, but due to some Marines stealing a radio, I was a brig guard for the month and only had 2 days ashore. I made time to go on a short safari in the Tsavo East National park, seeing elephants and hippos in the wild, some gazelles, water buffalo, some large birds and one particular lizard the size of a German Shepard that I held up for everyone to take pictures of while it lazed about in the daytime sun. Why it didn’t bite me, I can only thank God.
While back in Hawaii by late June of 1980, we went back to Honolulu for liberty. I don’t remember the exact address, or the exact business, but one August night, early August 1980, I stopped at a small shop that was either on Kalakaua Blvd or the street just north of it, one block north. I struck up a conversation with a young man, Mulatto, about 18, all teeth, smiling, skinny, short hair that I remember, at least short for the year we lived in.
He told me he lived in Hawaii . Not too many black Americans lived in Hawaii at all, now or then, so he being there was an oddity. I asked if he was in the service and he said no. I told him that I was a Marine and had recently gotten back from float. We spoke of world travel at this time and I told him the places we went to.
What strikes me most is what he said as to where he grew up: Indonesia . He told me he wanted to be President of the US someday. I remember lightly smiling and commenting that maybe by the time he gets to be 40 or so, America will be ready for a Black man to be President and I wished him luck. We spoke of the racial tensions I saw at home while growing up and I asked him if he ever saw that overseas or since he returned back to Hawaii . I don’t remember his answer, but we spoke more of his time overseas and his thoughts on life and philosophy of government. He made some strange comments to me, it was obvious he never set foot for any time on continental United States and I told him he better realize that he is making judgments about the United States when he himself never actually lived there. I told him, “ Hawaii aint the United States !”
He also told me something that I never forgot, for it caused me to do some other things in an effort to be nice to him and possibly a favor. We spoke of where I had been and the world as I saw it. I told him I had been to Africa , Mombassa specifically, and he said to me abruptly, “I was born there”. I told him he is not eligible to be president if that was true, but I remembered he said his mom was an American, so, maybe it was okay. But it was what I did after that makes this a true memory: I went back to the barracks and told others of this guy and suggested we all grab our photo albums and visit him again and show him pictures of Mombassa so he could see where he was from.
No one wanted to go, and at that time, my camera had failed the weeks before we hit Mombassa and it was late August or early September until I had borrowed someone else’s pictures to develop myself so I had copies of where I was. But I never forgot meeting that man for those reasons. I was going to do him a favor and show him his home country of birth. And I never went back for some reason, most likely I forgot to or just felt that a one time chance encounter would be meaningless to both of us and didn’t mean we were friends.
In the light of what is called “The Birther” movement, these memories are still foremost in my mind concerning this. While I cannot swear it was Barak Obama, all the details I do remember of that chance encounter fit the profile of the man who some people claim is born in Kenya and others claim he was born in Hawaii . The man I met was about 18, thin, Mulatto, told me he was born in Mombassa, raised overseas, was living in Hawaii and hadn’t yet been to many places in the world outside of those places, mostly, hadn’t been to the mainland of America for any long time period if at all. And he openly told me he wanted to be President."
The problem with Obama’s COLB is that the “seal” on it doesn’t bend when the paper it’s supposedly on folds. See http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/did-factcheck-help-forge-the-colb/
And it doesn’t include note of the amendment that the HDOH indirectly confirmed was made sometime in 2006. See http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/amendment-confirmation-for-dummies/
It’s also highly suspect that the BC# on that COLB is real, since it is out of sequence with the Nordyke BC’s - having a higher (later) BC# than theirs even though it was filed 3 days earlier than theirs (and the HDOH has said that BC#’s for Oahu births were almost always given a BC# on the “date filed”). The “date filed” and BC# combination makes sense for only a very, very rare circumstance.
Specifically the circumstances for Virginia Sunahara (born at Wahiawa Hospital on Aug 4, 1961 with a BC listing her as Virginia Sunahara, died at Kapiolani Hospital Aug 5, 1961 with a death certificate wrongly listing her as Tomiyo Sunahara. The HDOH stamped the BC immediately because it was complete, but when matching it with the death certificate that had already come in noticed the name discrepancy so they delayed stamping the BC# until after they figured out whether the name was correct, since an amendment process would have to be done once a BC# was assigned and that would be extra hassle and pain for a grieving family.
So the delay between when the BC was “filed” and when it was stamped with a BC# makes sense for Sunahara. It DOESN’T make sense for a routine hospital birth where the baby lived. It wouldn’t even make sense for a hospital birth where the baby died - unless there was the mix-up with the name, like Virginia had. Only that very specific circumstance would yield this result. It’s like a fingerprint that only fits Virginia’s scenario.
And lo and behold we find that the signs of forgery on Obama’s long-form show that the M for “male” was changed, the local registrar is the registrar that shows up on another WAHIAWA HOSPITAL BC but not Kapiolani, and the third letter of the first name - R was not C&P’ed in; it was retained from the BC that was used as the base document for the forgery. IOW, the things that had to be altered from the base document show that the base document belonged to a girl who was born at Wahiawa Hospital and - like Barack - had an R for the third letter of her name. That fits Virginia perfectly.
And lo and behold, the 1960-64 birth index, which was altered to include legally non-valid records (see http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/1960-64-birth-index-includes-legally-invalid-records/ ) included both Virginia Sunahara and Barack Obama’s names, but when I requested Virginia’s non-certified COLB I was told there were no records responsive to my request. The secretary queried the database and did not find any birth record under Virginia’s name. We know she had a birth record in the database because her brother eventually got a COLB for her - with an obviously altered BC# that was way out of order. But when the secretary queried the database for me, that record was no longer under Virginia’s name. The record using that BC# was under somebody else’s name at that point. To understand why that was necessary and how it all happened, see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2885601/posts?page=72#72 )
Additionally, the HDOH refuses to let Virginia’s own brother see or make a copy of her original birth certificate. Her full death certificate was disclosed and includes a handwritten note of what the BC# supposedly was (again, the BC# that is way out of sequence) - which is easily forged. And the line on which it is written appears to have an abbreviation that doesn’t make sense and lacks one of the items that was required on the CDC’s standard death certificate - even though HI statute says that all HI vital records certificates have to include AT LEAST everything that is on the CDC’s standard certificate. So it appears that the line on which the handwritten BC# is written has been altered from what was supposed to be on death certificates in 1961. It’s missing the place to record what state the birth certificate was from.
So the HDOH is known to have altered the 1960-64 birth index to include legally non-valid records, the database entry for Virginia Sunahara so that it was under a different name, Sunahara’s BC# (and they also apparently altered Stig Waidelich’s BC# as well), and most probably the line on Virginia’s death certificate where a handwritten BC# is written. None of that would be necessary if Obama had his own BC# from 1961.
So that COLB has LOTS of problems, besides being just an easily-manipulated computerized abstract (just like Virginia’s and Waidelich’s computer-generated abstracts were easily manipulated by the HDOH, as was Virginia’s actual record in the database).
None of my points talked about disinformation on forums. I’m talking about official records. That’s what I deal with.
And if we’ve got political operatives tampering with official vital records at will, that is an even bigger problem than Obama’s eligibility, and that by itself means that all the records should be audited.
Which is precisely the point I’ve been making publicly for the last 2 years.
We can talk about why Obama would lie on a bio. But if you believe that what he said in that bio was a lie, then you’ve got the even bigger task of explaining why ALL his vital records had to be tampered with. Because they were. There is direct evidence of that.
Then don't do it. Even if you are correct (which I doubt) about Obama having a valid birth certificate, he let a man go to prison rather than release any documentation.
Let that sink in. He let a man throw away an honorable career in the military and let him go to prison for six months. For what? Some stupid political trick? What a horrible, little p***k. Don't defend him.
The Certificate of Live Birth Obama posted (real or not) is exactly like the Certificate of Live Birth I got when I was born in 1964 in North Carolina.
Well, whether it's real or not IS THE QUESTION HERE.
Curious did your birth certificate come ONLY in PDF form?
Was it manufactured, copied and pasted piece by piece like some Frankenstein birth certificate?
Did it come with removable and moveable security features which defeats the whole purpose of the security features in the first place?
And were the security features imported from another computer file leaving them intact as text block for you to use at your leisure when trying to make fake birth certificates if you so decided?
” - - - legally non-valid records - - - “
Need a tad more explanation to understand this phrase. Maybe an example or two?
BTW, GREAT JOB on documenting the truth!
What really freaks me out about that picture at the top of the article is the weird way his grandfather’s hand appears on O’s shoulder. Where is Pop’s elbow??
