The formation of a traceable oral tradition would be a reasonable expectation, given the unusualness of the situation and the highly interactive culture the writer is describing. You can make a memory hole much easier where people are not so connected. The anomalous void, the absence of a local Obama nativity legend, is intriguing indeed.

Nativity legend? Seriously?
Kudos, though. This is the first I’ve seen of the the argument that Obama must be foreign born because Hawaiians are chatty folk.
For his nativity setting, BO and his handlers should have instead chosen a windswept, desolate corner of Montana. "Of course there were no witnesses--there were hardly any other people around." Instead he chooses the land of aloha, where people are so connected, where there are few places to hide and news travels fast over backyard fences. The fact that there is no local nativity story screams volumes.
