I have a question -—— actually a few.
Was Obama actually legally adopted by Soetoro?
Would the Obama name be negated if he had legally been adopted?
If he was, in fact, legally adopted by Soetoro, and after his Mother and Soetoro divorced, did Obama ever change his name back to his birth name?
I do know, that, in regards to his name, he never used "Barack" while growing up, and never used it anywhere, he basically always called himself "Barry" (in fact, to this day, people who are actually friends with him, still call him Barry, and some express puzzlement over when he started using his formal name).
Sidenote: Former chief executive officer of America Online, Steve Case, went to the same high school as Obama, and at the same time (though a couple of years apart).....
