How does the birth announcement in the Hawaiian newspaper tie into all of this? Born in Kenya and a birth announcement in Hawaii???????????????????????????
Just an observation so don’t attack me!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Many people have hometown announcements of distant births.
When my children were born in Ohio, I had birth announcements printed in the Pa papers. Thats where the Grandmas lived, and so there friends would be made aware.

Grandma's a proud Grandma. It's 1961. No Facebook, no My Space, no email, how do you think people made the proud announcement? They put it in the paper.
My mom used to actually read those in the paper just to see what's going on. Weddings, engagements, births, graduations, they used to all be a well-visited part of the newspaper.
There is no conspiracy here, but two possible and very reasonable explanations:
1) The grandparents notified the newspapers to announce the birth of their new grandson. People do this all the time when there is a birth, death, marriage, or graduation of a loved one who resides out of town!
2) The grandparents filed for a COLB and the Hawaiian officials in a routine manner reported it to the newspapers.
By the way....Has anyone ever seen a paper copy of these newpaper announcements? Surely some proud parent stuffed one away in a baby book somewhere.
I have family in the UK and when my kids were born here I got AD’s put in the local papers in the UK to inform my family and for them to save the AD if they liked.
It amazes me how the left say this is a non issue based on an AD in a paper at that time
One phone call to Tutu and the announcement was in. Not sure, but would the phone record for international calls survive this long? Any record of a call from or to Mombassa from Hawaii might be suspect, but it could also explain that.
The grandparents understood the advantages of laying the paper trail, but grandparents also tend to brag. If Obama Sr. was considered resident in Hawaii, then the announcement would be braging rights for the new grandparents.
The Dunhams were not poor folks, and though international calls were expensive, unreliable, etc., they would have been able to easily afford the call announcing the baby.
Obama’s grandparents are not stupid. They were probably not thrilled with Stanley Ann’s lifestyle, Kenyan lover who knocked her up and her stupidity. They probably placed the ads in the papers knowing their grandson needed citizenship coverage.
