Check out #157.
Add to your list....
Barry Soetoro’s legal name change to Barack Hussein Obama.
The B/C passed off on the net as Barry’s can not be his legal B/C. At age six he was adopted, his legal b/c would not have Obama Sr. listed as the father, Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo would be.
Barry could go into court an legally change his name; he could not go into any court and have his adoption “reversed”. Legally, Soetoro is his father.
Where’s the B/C Dear Leader?
Link please!
Elementary school registration book from Indonesia doesn't count for me. It has no legal standing and could have been a convenient misrepresentation by Obama’s parents.

His adoptive father Soetoro, though very possibly important as to his current citizenship status, has absolutely no relevance to his legal father at birth, nor to the information on his original long form BC. Although we don't know for sure, his legal father at birth was presumed to be the British (later Kenyan) citizen Barack Hussein Obama (Sr.). (In fact, an "official" Obama web site had admitted to Barack Sr.'s British citizenship at the time of Barack II's birth.) According to some legal opinions, BHO Jr. cannot be a natural born citizen if his father was not an American citizen at the time of his birth, which would appear to be the factual reality. So, pursuant to this line of argument, he would not qualify constitutionally for POTUS under such a circumstance.
I have been looking for documentation do you know where it is?
Thanks.
Thanks for the ping, Lucy.
That’s the thing I always wondered about...
I wonder if the adoption which went through the courts in Indonesia was ever even reported to the registrar here in the US? That’s the only way I can possibly see the Original BC NOT being amended to his new name of Soetero, and his father being listed as Soetero as well.
I’m adopted so this angle on the controversy is a very interesting one to me. It’s also an angle that may be standing in the way of Obama himself releasing the records - if they indeed were amended from the adoption. Of course, it’s a little different if you’re talking about a President, vs. a lowly old adoptee like me, but courts do NOT like opening those original records. If Obama himself doesn’t go to court to request the unsealing (and even if he DID) he would need a compelling argument to open those files. In the past even those who needed the information to search for potentially life-saving genetic matches for bone-marrow transplants and the like have been denied.
PLEASE NOTE: I obviously don’t believe that Obama has ASKED for those records or ever intends to (and I don’t believe he “requested” them sealed either, but rather that they were automatically sealed via the adoption and the only copy he could get listed Soetero and that would screw up his whole act - hence the reason for the forgery in the first place).
I think THAT is a more likely scenario, and part of the reason his lawyers mentioned the whole “embarrassment” thing - even the President can’t bypass some laws...
All speculation of course, but something I’ve wondered about over the last 2 years...
