the question remains about why, on this issue, Obama has been completely obfuscatory

I try to ignore his obfuscation. I believe it is a game and a distraction.

the child's citizenship (Barry's) followed that of the custodial parent (Stanley), meaning that he also became an Indonesian citizen and that if he ever did regain his U.S. citizenship, it would only have been as a naturalized citizen

True and there is the British citizenship possibility. Or other possibilities. I am agnostic about those possibilities and have never argued for or against them. But in this thread, on this topic, I am pointing out that we need to carefully consider the possibility that the document in the photo is forged.

Considering the stakes involved, there is also the possibility that whatever they have on record now that Fukino was referencing is forged and was inserted into the records within the last year or so. Remember that the Congressman from American Samoa was in Indonesia in 2007 vacuuming up documents in anticipation of an Obama win.
