Here’s how CNN found Stig Waidelich:

Swede provides ‘proof’ in Obama birth debate

A Swedish woman, Monica Danielsson, 78, may have provided the last piece in a the puzzle on where US president Barack Obama was born, when CNN recently went to Hawaii finally lay the matter to rest.

“Obama was lying there next to my Stig in the bassinet and I remember him because he was the only black child there and I thought he was very cute,” she said to Swedish daily Expressen.

CNN recently sent reporter Gary Tuchman from the show ‘Andersson Cooper 360’ to Hawaii to find evidence that president Obama was born there.

While there, he quickly discovered an announcement in the birth columns of the local paper of a Stig Waidelich who was born in the same hospital the day after Obama.

“They then tried to track me down to compare my son’s birth certificate to the one provided by Obama,” Danielsson said.
Monica, who was borh in Traneberg in Stockholm, moved to Hawaii 50 years ago.
Her memories of an African-American baby at the maternity ward further corroborate the story.

Given the number of Black babies born in Hawaii (based on the CDC’s figures), there would have been a Black baby in the nursery on any given day.

However, there should have been somewhere between 30-50 white babies in the Honolulu nurseries (of which Kapiolani is by far the largest) on any given day. Monika said Stig was the only one there.

So either Waidelich’s memories are a bit confused, she’s making it up out of whole cloth, or those 4-7 days surrounding the birth of her son were extremely anomalous.

I wonder when and how Stig “lost” his long-form.

From the article:

“According to CNN, the document given to Stig from the Department of Health is the same exact document that President Obama has released. “

There you have it. Obama has released Stig’s BC.
