“Being born in America is a GOOD THING. ... Anyone who had an opportunity to assert US birth for their baby would be sorely tempted to do so. “
So why the h*ll would Ann Dunham shack up with Obama Sr in late 1960 at Univ of Hawaii, get pregnant during her studies at Univ. of Hawaii where he is an exchange student, get married to him in spring of 1961 in same place, have him continue studies until 1962 at Univ. of hawaii, but right in the middle of this ... when she is near FULL TERM ... would she flee this oh so desirable place, the USA, just to have her kid in a 3rd world hellhole?
That makes NOT A LICK OF SENSE.
“US birth opens many doors in life. It is by far the simplest way to assert US citizenship.”
the easiest way for Ann Dunham to assert US citizenship for her child would have been to *STAY PUT* in Hawaii. If it wasnt a big deal, she would never lie about it, if it was, she would just stay put.
Further, you have not answered the basic challenge posed: HIS PASSPORT HAS HIS CITIZENSHIP AND PLACE OF BIRTH. WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT BOTH?
You expect the actions of a wild child pre hippy to make sense? Especially when she was only 17-18? You sir (or madam) expect too much.
