The Dunhams hadn’t lived in Hawaii very long, a little more than a year. I doubt they had enough friends to be concerned about that.
No, I firmly believe that the birth announcements are fraudulent. Obama seems to have been working on this charade for almost a decade with the Democratic Party supporting him in his efforts.
My point is that anyone can post a birth announcement in a newspaper anywhere. The paper doesn’t verify the facts, it’s just a social announcement, usually by proud parents. If I recall, we were asked while I was still in the hospital, if we wanted it printed in the local paper. That didn’t limit us, however, from putting it in our old hometown papers. I’m just saying that they are proof of nothing.
