Well that was handy...shows he was no longer resident in Hawaii when the Soetoro divorce was granted.
He was supposed to be at school at Occidental (aka “Moscow of the West”) during this timeframe.
9/2/1979-5/31/1981 Obama on ‘Full Scholarship’ to Occidental.

“But the Illinois Democrat began his undergraduate education at Occidental, and the 1,825-student liberal arts college in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles isn’t shy about claiming him as an alumnus for his two years there (1979-81) on full scholarship.”
LA Times: “...on full scholarship.”
Exaggeration? Or truth slipping out?
Much effort has gone into debunking the ‘Fulbright scholarship’ legend.

But the LA Times claims he was there ‘on full scholarship’.
So what type of scholarship does a dope-smoking kid with mediocre or poor grades get to Occidental? Maybe he wrote a heck of an essay!

“Yeah, I’m certain that it was. It was considered sort of the “Moscow” of southern California. There were a lot of Marxist professors,...”
“I think people like David Remnick [a biographer], they make it sound like Frank Marshall Davis had no impact on Obama and that his friend Mohammed Shandu somehow converted him to Marxism at Occidental. And my impression is that Obama was the leader of that group and Obama was already very ardent and committed to Marxism.”
“...Obama believed, at the time I met him, this was probably around Christmas time in 1980. I’d flown out on Christmas break from Cornell, where I was in grad school. And Obama was looking forward to an imminent social revolution, literally a movement where the working classes would overthrow the ruling class and institute a kind of socialist Utopia in the United States. I mean, that’s how extreme his views were his sophomore year of college.”
“I’ve challenged President Obama to explain how he evolved this Marxist-Leninist viewpoint he had in his sophomore year of college. And he’s just never articulated how he changed. In fact, he’s buried and, I think, lied about his ideological convictions of his youth. And we can trace it all the way to Alice Palmer,...”
“I think his current behavior demonstrates that he still has some ideological convictions. When ever he talks about taxing the richest two-percent? I think he knows that will harm the economy. To him, the redistribution of wealth is extremely important. And he never took economics or science like I did. He went straight to law school, never had any business experience, never had a payroll to meet. And I think he’s locked in a very dangerous mindset, where if he didn’t fight to redistribute the wealth that he’d be violating [his] ideology.”
Let recap an important statement above that is very, very timely....
“When ever he talks about taxing the richest two-percent? I think he knows that will harm the economy. To him, the redistribution of wealth is extremely important.”
Bet the meeting with Boehner today does not go well....
