Some Concerned FReepers insist there is no difference between “Date Accepted” and “Date Filed”. I’m curious what Zullo’s opinion, if any, is on the matter.
When an adoption is finalized, the original vital statistic document is sealed and archived. As far as the legal community is concerned, a sealed record is a record that never existed. Indexes, court records, administrative filings that reference documents that suddenly no longer exist are redacted to reflect an accurate record.
How is it that Zullo looks at the enrollment form of Barry Soetoro, Indonesian National born in Honolulu, HI, and doesn’t realize an adoption has taken place? Why is there resistance to recognizing the obvious?
About the possible adoption by Soetoro:
Suppose it happened. Suppose he was born in Hawaii, when and to whom he claimed. Suppose he then was adopted by Soetoro. The original birth record was sealed. A new “original” was created in the name of Barry Soetoro, parents Stanley Ann Dunham and Lolo Soetoro. Putting aside that both “fathers” are non-citizens, and the issue that raises about natural born citizenship, you still have to then ask this:
Why didn’t he just explain why his birth certificate says Barry Soetoro instead of Barack H. Obama II? Why not own up to being born in Hawaii, to the African, but adopted by his mother’s second husband? It happens all the time.
Did he never change his name legally? Did he never change his citizenship?
He claims to be eligible, but he’s obviously hiding something.
I see no scenario where he can be eligible, based upon what we do know, even if he was adopted yet born in Hawaii.
