The Hawaii Department of Health has reversed course. They now admit that they do - in fact make some vital records information available to the public. This admission reverses their prior response pattern indicating that no information could be released.

while you are thinking about that..who greased the wheels for Lolo to show up in Hawaii to go to school...from a country with a leader that was a Communist sympathizer? And was he in the military at that point or did that come later?
well, that opens another possible can of worms doesn't it? That means, as zero didn't visit Kenya until several years after the death of Obama Sr, any papers, documents, manuscripts etc...from the Obama Sr 'estate' would now be in the possession of Mark Ndesandjo.
I think you mean Gloria Hagberg:

Just remember, that when this photograph was taken, with the members of the first airlift, Obama Sr was already in Hawaii.
don’t know those answers, but the reason Lolo had to leave Hawaii & go back to Indonesia is because his student visa had been revoked due to the crisis in Indonesia. Not sure if he was already in the military when he was in Hawaii.
I think it would be accurate to say that Stanley Ann took little BHO to Indonesia during one of the most dangerous times in Indonesia’s history. Not something I would have done.
Elizabeth Mooney Kirk is her name.
That marriage was not just an ordinary marriage. If you are a communist, you don’t take off for Indonesia during a bloody war with your little boy...when the new faction is torturing people to turn over communists...and your husband had the wheels greased by the communist sympathizer to go to school..wow..what a coincidence that Ann married another foreigner showing up in Hawaii to go to school.
And why put Jr in the school that had the boy whose grandfather was only one of two people who had a certain kind of car..the other being the President..and it was a gift from the grandfather (may not have all the details correct there)...it wasn’t some poor little boy school.
Something else was going on with Lolo and Ann, IMO
Great find!
This is Kezia’s side of the story, of course, but if true makes BO Sr’s marriage to SADO bigamous.
Kezia says she was married in 1956 including payment of dowry.
Kezia says BO Sr told his third wife that he was married to Kezia when he was caught in the hospital with the two wives together for the first time. The impression that the story gives is that Kezia and other Kenyans considered BO Sr a bigamist after he was caught, and not in a legal Muslim polygamous marriage.
As you say, this is such a legal mess that the probability of BO II ever being found ineligible due to being “governed” by the 1948 BNA at birth is remote because British dual citizenship can’t pass from the father via a bigamous marriage (as defined where the marriage occurred).
If BO was born in HI he likely has unitary natural born citizenship from his US citizen legally single mother, but until and unless SCOTUS rules, we do not know.

excerpts:
1955: Frank Charles Laubach founded Laubach Literacy International (LLI) which was headquartered in New York State and serving Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean The objectives of LLI were to form partnerships for literacy, community development and peaceful social change. Dr. Laubach felt that World peace is a future ideal of freedom, peace and happiness among and within all nations. The realization of world peace may also make the idea of individual nations obsolete. LLIs stated goal is identical to Marxism, which states that communism is the final stage in human society and is both classless and stateless.
The LLI was formed during an era when states required voters to meet minimum qualifications, such as passing literacy tests, in order to register to vote: a principal means by which southern states had prevented African-Americans from voting (to disenfranchise voters). Frank Laubach and Elijah Mohammed of the Nation of Islam both felt that minorities must learn to read to realize their goal of Pan-African social change. It is widely known that Malcolm Little (later Malcolm X), introduced to Nation of Islam (NOI) philosophy while in prison, spent his days memorizing the dictionary. In the context of illiterate blacks not being allowed to vote, LLI, NOI and Kenya became linked by their common goal to empower blacks to enact social change through literacy and advanced education.

Kenya to Hawaii
1959 Malcolm X travels to Middle East and Africa including Kenya. Malcolm X meets with Jomo Kenyatta (recently released from prison following his conviction on leading the Mau Mau Rebellion), Tom Mboya, and may have met Barack Hussein Obama Sr, who was Mboyas close confident and fellow Luo tribesman both from Lake Victoria.
Due to a program offering Western educational opportunities to outstanding Kenyan students that was organized by nationalist leader Tom Mboya, Obama Sr. was awarded a scholarship in economics, and at the age of 23 (1959) he enrolled at the University of Hawaii. Initial financial supporters of the program included Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, and Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, a literacy advocate who provided most of the financial support for Obama Senior’s early years in the United States. Elizabeth Mooney Kirk worked in Kenya and in concert with Jomo Kenyatta and Tom Mboya. Kirk and Malcolm X, both New Yorkers, would have certainly met in Kenya. Kirk co-authored many books with Frank Charles Laubach, founder of LLI.
Aside: Contrary to Obama’s claims in speeches in January at American University and in Selma last year, the Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September 1959 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the United States that included Obama’s father.
(However, as you may already have noted, sourced research on the OBAMA AFRICAN COLONIAL thread shows clearly that Obama Senrior was NOT on that first airlift. He had in fact, arrived in Hawaii some months prior to the first airlift landing at Idlewild.)
I have added this comment to the OBAMA AFRICAN COLONIAL thread.
If you think Great Britain is going to declare a foreign head of state a bastard in order to interfere in the political process of that foreign state, especially to help Obama after his ongoing snub of that nation and that nation's institutions and traditions, you're mistaken.
Absent a British declaration regarding not just the one matter but three matters:
- a likely unrecorded tribal marriage if there actually was one
- the recognized marriage of Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.
- the resulting citizenship of his son Barack Hussein Obama II
then, based upon legal records and British colonial law governing the matter in what is now Kenya, the known facts will stand as they are, and will stand in any court of law in the United States.
Everything else is fantasy or deliberate misdirection.
good: I have what I was looking for & thought it belonged on AC as well
Senior was mentored by two AMerican Missionaries (near Niarobi). They prepared him to take the test at the American Embassy that qualified him for the scholarship to the U of HI. (Look at information on Lois Anderson....It may be an important link)
According to this article, Barack and Michelle Obama are completely familiar with and accepting of Kezias version of the family history.
Kezia would presumably be able to testify as to exactly what she meant by the word married in the article and whether any legal documentation might exist.
From the Daily Mail January 6, 2008 here is Kezia talking about Barack Sr:
"Barack was also worried about what his father would think because I was so young, but he gave us his approval. He sent my mother and father 14 cows for my dowry.
"Barack's father was only a cook so it was a big sacrifice. Very soon after, we were married."
That was January 1957. Kezia and Barack Snr set up home in Jericho, a section of Nairobi created for government employees, and began a family.
First son Roy was born in March 1958. Kezia insisted: "Barack was a good husband."

An unrecognized legal claim with no legal record, versus a recognized legal claim with a legal record.
Hearsay versus law.
Whether there is a legal record of the Kezia marriage to Obama Sr would be a matter for discovery.
Kezia is alive and can testify that she married Obama Sr, which is not hearsay!
RummyChick has provided lots of leads that indicate that Kenyan law recognizes tribal marriage and the US (and HI) would recognize Kenyan marriages and thus refuse recognition to a bigamous marriage by Obama Sr and SADO.
All of this would be subject to litigation in Kenya and the US that would likely take years and be subject to corruption in both Kenya and the US.
I don’t believe any of us know how all of this would shake out legally. But I have no expectation that BO will be declared ineligible based on 1948 BNA dual citizenship.
On the other hand, if evidence proves Obama was born outside the US, he is toast!

Post #350 on same thread may also be of interest to you.
Of course, like all of these tangents, none of it changes the fact that the individual known as Barack Hussein Obama II, whose legal, biological father was a nonresident alien, does not meet the definition of natural-born citizen under demonstrable original intent of the Founders, as required for eligibility to the office he now holds.
That is known, right now. No wild goose chases in Kenya or England. No interminable delay of years, enabling the precedent to be set, allowing a Constitutionally ineligible President to complete a full term of office.
Barack Jr's mother, Ann Dunham visited Kenya when Obama Sr died. She met her co-wife, Kezia and they both became great friends.Since then, the Obamas have formed an extraordinary bond, despite their unstable family history and cultural and geographic differences.

Yes, I saw that article. I couldn’t help but think...that’s why Kezia sounded so well rehearsed. She has all the ‘facts’ and the dates down pat, as if she had studied a script.
Colour me cynical.
That link and comment, could I ask you to include that on the OBAMA AFRICAN COLONIAL FILE please.
I have no interest in fake sparring with a troll, which is what you are. You are here solely to support 0bama by creating diversions, disrupting the discussion, and tossing out nonsense.
Bye! And don’t freepmail me any more.
