Is that you want to believe ... that he’s lying about where Obama was born because you don’t want to accept the possibility Obama was adopted and became and Indonesian citizen??

No, I don't believe that Obama was an Indonesian citizen because the timeline does not work with the laws in place at the time. For Obama to achieve citizenship through adoption then that adoption would need to have been done before August 1976. The Indonesian school record you love so much is dated January 1, 1978. Every time line I've seen indicated Soetoro moved the family back to Indonesia some time in late 1977. Any adoption would have had to have happened after Obama was 5. Assuming that there was ever any adoption to begin with.

AFIK, Soetoro wasn’t present for Obama’s birth, so at best, he would simply be ignorantly repeating what he was told by his wife, whom we already know isn’t particularly honest.

And we know that Soetoro himself was a paragon of honesty because....? For all you know he put down whatever he wanted on that form and wasn't required to back it up with any documentation at all - proof of Obama being born in Hawaii, proof of citizenship, proof of adoption, whatever.

Better try again. It was dated in 1968, not 1978. I already explained that a Honolulu newspaper story reported that Lolo married SAD in 1965 ... Obama would have been four.

And we know that Soetoro himself was a paragon of honesty because....?

In your view he had to lie about several things on this form ... and somehow truthfully report that Barry was born in Hawaii. Why not just claim he was born in Indonesia if he was lying about everything else?? Why make up a fake name, fake religion and fake citizenship but use a true birthplace. Doesn't make sense?? So again, you appear to be conceding the point.
