New birther revelation: Obama's Honolulu address a fraud
Grand Rapids Ron Paul Examiner ^ | August 11, 2009 | Geoff Linsley

Posted on 08/11/2009 5:44:59 AM PDT by real_patriotic_american

Obama supporters typically site the birth announcements in Honolulu newspapers as a main line of attack against the “birthers,” who claim Barack Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. This line of attack is fundamentally useless when it comes to the courts and the law, but let’s examine these announcements a little closer.

Both birth announcements – from the Star Bulletin and the Honolulu advertiser – report Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama to be living at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway. Unfortunately for Obama supporters, WMD took the time to research this possibility. Turns out, in 1961 the residence was owned by someone else. University of Hawaii Professor Orland Scott Lefforge and his wife, Thelma Young, bought the property in 1958; and they didn’t move until the 70s. Meanwhile, Barack Obama, Sr. rented an apartment at 625 11th Ave. in Kaimuki.

Now, why would an honest Obama family disclose an invalid address with Obama’s birth announcements? It will be interesting to see if this revelation even phases Obama supporters who dogmatically believe that these birth announcements are indisputable proof that Obama was born in Hawaii.

Now I have to wonder if that email address for fishy email would be a good place to send all these inquiries about his fishy birth story?

That's the oldest looking 5 year old I've ever seen.

...and the ONLY five year old I've ever seen that wears a watch!

Agree! The Department of Justice should be all over this!

You wrote-
“This statement has been made many times.

If it is true, does it indicate a multiple felony?

Is anyone actually pursuing the matter?”

He is holding a basketball but with the other arm. The hand does look strange, now that you mention it, but my guess is if we were to minutely go through our own pictures we would find similar peculiarities of pose.

It looks like Obama Sr went back to Hawaii in 1971...and that was probably the picture at the airport...and that is around the age of the boy in the picture. The caption is just wrong.
Ann was already divorced to Sr...so why this picture??

Has to be a photoshop or Obama had some deformity with his hand. You don't hold your hand like that in a photo. Where is the missing basketball it looks like he would be holding. Unless he was a narcissist back then and put his hands like that to be the focus of the picture because HE should have been the one to get the basketball instead of the dude below him.

Eh? Obama IS holding a basketball in that picture. Look by his right knee - you'll see it.

Jr was in Indonesia till 1971 so he was at least 9 1/2 when that picture was taken.

It looks like the basketball in obama’s lap just dropped down into his knees for some reason. Why would there be two basketballs in one picture?

Wasn’t Obama was a role player off of the bench? Sort of a 6th man? Then why is he in the middle? Whatever, that picture looks phoney to me!

I have a lot more confidence in sources that know the difference between the words 'site' and 'cite.' Simple mistakes like that ruin credibility.

The thing I find interesting - apparently Pres. Obama’s half-sister, who was 100% undeniably born in Kenya, has a Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii. Just like Pres. Obama.

I thought the “COLB” was legit - until this.

Seriously - now I want to see the full/long form birth certificate.

It’s well documented that there is no known evidence that Obama’s address at birth is accurate.

When will he release documents?

Pre-computers, you had to be physically present to register for college classes. Two weeks doesn’t seem like enough time to have a baby, recover, make a major trip (Hawaii to Washington) with a new born, and register for classes.

Therein lies a big part of the problem with zero and all of this. Remember, he was raised by his grandmother, allegedly in Hawaii. The timeline doesn't track with the practices at the time. In those days, airlines were extremely reluctant to allow VERY pregnant women to travel, so it makes sense that Obama mama could have been trapped in Kenya by virtue of her physical condition (i.e. incredibly pregnant!).

In addition, Airlines were extremely reluctant to allow a mother and newborn to fly, ESPECIALLY when we are talking about a trip between Hawaii and the mainland. In those days, it most likely would still have been aboard a propeller-driven aircraft, so the flight times would be much longrer than they are by today's jets.

Yeah, that’s it - Maya, right?

I knew she was his younger half-sister.
