Normally, I’d agree...this isn’t really a 4-star issue. Its puzzling that rather than answer it or simply declare the birth certificate out and in the open....we are left to question more intensely.

I suspect that if enough digging is done...we find that he is born in Vancouver...NOT Hawaii, and he is still a US citizen by reason of the mother being such. I suspect this is something that the family never talked about and really seemed to “hide” in some fashion. I don’t think mom or dad was happy with their daughter coming up with her first real boyfriend...and the guy is some dude from Africa...and the daughter is preg. Most of us would act the same way if this had been our daughter.

The only scenario I could see emerging where citizenship would be very questionable....is where we find that mom had issues....never delivered....and adopted this child in Canada.

The more one reads of Stanley Ann Durham...the more of a image of a very naive and misguided young lady who simply kept walking from one mess into another. As much as she put into various notions of a socialist world at hand...the 3rd world visit to Indonesia and the lack of any worldly impact by herself and her perceived agenda...probably left her with a negative view of everything accomplished.

Your comment is exceptionally well thought out and well developed.

I’ll repeat it here with a few additions, if I may:

“The more one reads of Stanley Ann Durham...the more of a image of a very naive and misguided young lady who simply kept walking from one mess into another. As much as she put into various notions of a socialist world at hand...the 3rd world visit to Indonesia and the lack of any worldly impact by herself and her perceived agenda...probably left her (AND HER SON) with a negative view of everything (AMERICA) accomplished.

Be well.

"The only scenario I could see emerging where citizenship would be very questionable....is where we find that mom had issues....never delivered....and adopted this child in Canada."

That has been my thinking as well, as I posted earlier. As I stated in my post, Obama's biological mother was one of his father's African wives. Obama's father then brought him to this country and delivered him into the arms of Stanley Ann Dunham, who passed him off as her own child.

I suspect that if enough digging is done...we find that he is born in Vancouver...NOT Hawaii, and he is still a US citizen by reason of the mother being such.

I suppose by now you've been corrected on this misapprehension. If Barry was born outside the U.S. with only one of his parents being a U.S. citizen with his being born less than five years after the age of 16 of that U.S. citizen parent, then he is not a U.S. citizen.
