•Fact 1: Barack Obama Sr. (the President’s father) was married to another woman (Kezia Aoko) in Africa at the time of Barack Hussein Obama Jr’s birth to Stanley Ann Dunham Obama (the President’s mother).

True, but it is unclear whether that first marriage had the force of law. It may have been just a tribal ceremony not recognized by the authorities.

•Fact 2: In the United States, being married to two women at the same time is illegal. It is the crime of bigamy.

But only if the first marriage was legally binding, which we do not know to be the case.

On the other hand, if Obama Sr.'s first marrage was in fact legally binding, then little Barry would have been a US citizen at birth even if born in Kenya. In that case his mother's marriage to his father would be invalid, making her a single mother and allowing her to pass on her citizenship to him if he were born abroad.

•Fact 3: In 1961 someone placed a birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper declaring the birth of a son to “Mr. and Mrs.” Barack Obama (Sr).

That "someone" was the Hawaii Department of Health, as the top of the page clearly indicates.

•Fact 4: Stanley Ann Dunham (Barack Jr’s mother) claims to have been married to Barack Obama Sr. at that time. Barack Obama Jr. also claims that his parents were married and later divorced.

That they were divorced is a matter of public record..

•1. Did Barack Obama Sr. inform Stanley Ann Dunham of his concurrent marriage to the woman in Africa? (If not, he committed fraud as well as bigamy.)

The evidence suggests he informed her some time after they were married, which in turn prompted her to leave for Seattle.

•2. Did Stanley Ann Dunham marry Barack Obama Sr. knowing he was already married to another woman? (If so, they were both fraudulent.)

The evidence suggests not.

•3. Did Stanley Ann’s parents know about the first wife and approve of the marriage of their daughter to an already married man? (If so, they were involved in fraud too.)

By all accounts, SAD's parents did not approve of the marriage. That's why they weren't invited to the ceremony and why the young couple found it necessary to elope to Maui.

•4. Were Barack Obama Sr and Stanley Ann Dunham really married?

Of course. Why would they bother getting divorced if they were never married?

If not, the placement of the birth announcement of “their son” in the Honolulu Advertiser was fraudulent—unless, of course, the “Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama (Sr)” was referring to Mr. Obama and his first wife, in which case, Barack Obama Jr. is not really Stanley Ann Dunham’s child.

LOL. Oh wow! This is rich! So now birthers are questionting whether SAD is his mother! Birther stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

•5. Does Barack Hussein Obama Jr know about the circumstances surrounding the fraudulent reporting of his birth?

You have presented no evidence to suggest there was any fraud involved in the reporting of his birth. All you have presented is evidence that Obama Sr. may have defrauded Hawaii and SAD and comitted bigamy.

Unfortunately, the question of whether Bambi's father committed bigamy or not is irrelevant to eligbility.

If so, that may explain his reluctance to come forward with details about it and his propensity to hide the truth whenever anyone questions his background.

I have a simpler explanation. He's already come forward with enough documentation to prove he's eligible for the presidency. He doesn't produce any more because the conspiracy theories inspired by his secrecy amuse him and help him politically.

“Fact 1: Barack Obama Sr. (the President’s father) was married to another woman (Kezia Aoko)...”

How do you KNOW that’s his father?
