Perhaps I am missing something here, but it seems to me that a Kenya birth certificate would INCREASE the likelihood that Barack Sr. would have signed it. I've always had difficulty with the idea that, in 1961, a pregnant white college student would fly to Kenya, for any reason, even for work, given the state of travel and medical care in that country. I could see her traveling with her newborn after the fact, but even that would be a stretch considering the uneasy tension in that family.

I think he either has something *else* to hide or he is having fun making the birthers the face of the political opposition.

What is likely is that Obama Sr. impregnated Stanley A. Dunham, and then married her because of pressure from her parents or perhaps he saw the Dunham family as a ticket to a US university. He never loved her and abandoned her soon after they married, heading back to Kenya. Obama’s mother followed him there to give birth with hopes that he would acknowledge his son. Obama Sr. never did and wouldn’t even sign the birth certificate.
