“I discovered this article, folded away among my birth certificate and old vaccination forms, when I was in high school. It’s a short piece, with a photograph of him. No mention is made of my mother or me, and I’m left to wonder whether the omission was intentional on my father’s part, in anticipation of his long departure. Perhaps the reporter failed to ask personal questions, intimidated by my father’s imperious manner; or perhaps it was an editorial decision, not part of the simple story that they were looking for. I wonder, too, whether the omission caused a fight between my parents.”
That's cute. He's referring to an article written about Obama Sr. The man doesn't mention he has a wife and child in Hawaii. Obama (the second) is confused. He can't understand why not. He also tells us there's a birth certificate - with the name of Obama Sr on it (one imagines) because the person spoken of in the article and the document must be/probably was/ of the same name. It may even have been a copy of the KENYAN document!
What he had yet to find out, and later hide, is that the document is a forgery, raised to hide true paternity - and he's been fighting a losing battle to continue to hide that fact ever since he first discovered who his real father was.
IMHO
