Was young Obama Indonesian citizen? Document, travel suggest 'Barry Soetero' member of world's largest Muslim country 8:18 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein © 2008 WorldNetDaily Indonesian school registration for "Barry Soetoro" (AP photo) JERUSALEM – Was Sen. Barack Obama a citizen of Indonesia at any point in his life? That question has been circulating on the blogosphere with increased fury the past few days, since a photograph emerged of Obama's school registration papers as a child in Indonesia – the world's most populous Muslim nation – showing the presidential candidate listed as a "Muslim" with "Indonesian" citizenship. An investigation into Indonesian citizenship law and a review of Obama's biography and travels suggest the Illinois senator at one point may have been a citizen of Indonesia. That would not necessarily disqualify Obama to run for president, but it could raise loyalty concerns. A 2007 Associated Press photograph taken by Tatan Syuflana, an Indonesian AP reporter and photographer, surfaced last week on the Daylife.com photographic website showing an image of Obama's registration card at Indonesia's Fransiskus Assisi school, a Catholic institution. In the picture, Obama is registered under the name Barry Soetoro by his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. The school card lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His religion is listed as Muslim. Jack Stokes, manager of media relations for the AP, confirmed to WND the picture is indeed an AP photo. After attending the Assisi Primary School, Obama later was enrolled at SDN Menteng 1, an Indonesian public school. Obama's campaign did not return repeated WND phone calls and e-mail queries the past week asking for a clarification regarding the school documentation listing the presidential candidate's citizenship as Indonesian. Obama spokesmen have stated the candidate is a natural-born citizen

Thanks for posting this.
Hmmm, interesting...also just on Fox a few minutes ago, there is something Barry is hiding as to his years at Columbia-—his camp won’t release his transcripts-—why would that be????? More associations or something he doesn’t want us to know about?
1. The demographics of the country is the answer.
2. His father was in the oil business.
3. He had servants at home.
4. As far as any stories about his mother. He can anything he wants. She's passed away.
4. He threw his white grandmother under the bus.
But, but, but, wasn’t he vetted?
Barry is such a POSER. I can hardly wait until the clintons release the hounds of hell upon him.
something Barry is hiding as to his years at Columbia-—his camp won’t release his transcripts..
Maybe THIS is our October surprise???
Obama may be a Christian today—but does it make sense that his step-father would have raised him as a Christian in a Muslim household?
To do that would have been apostasy for a Muslim father.
Doesn’t matter what Indonesian law says, bottom line he’s still an American citizen through his mother. Time would be better spent going after all the lies, cover ups, loyalty and terrorist associations.
Doesn’t she take money from the Saudi’s just like Obama?
Didn’t he claim Magna Cum Laude from there? Or was that Harvard?
Furthermore, what do CAIR and the Muslim world have to say about Barry’s conversion from Islam to Christianity? If they don’t say anything, what does that tell us?
Not true if she claimed Indonesian citizenship while married to her Indonesian husband, who adopted him, and it appears she registered BHO as an Islamic, Indonesian in school.
Remember, its democrats asking these questions, so “its not the truth of the story its the seriousness of the accusation.” - Nancy Pelosi.
Don’t worry no MSM journalist will ask him nor will they investigate this about the Chosen One.
They may call themselves Christians but I have a hard time reconciling that church that Obama went to for 20 years with the Christianity I’ve been taught.
Personally I suspect the extent of Obama’s Christianity goes only to political cover and career enhancement and no further. I think he was so confused at an early age that he still doesn’t know who he is and as Sarah said - the Presidency of the US shouldn’t be used for “personal discovery”.
There’s is very little doubt that Obama was once an Indonesian citizen.
The continuing mystery is exactly when he became an American citizen, if he is in fact one of us.
The media doesn’t have time to look into this.
They are too busy trying to get fingernail clippings from Sarah Palin’s family and looking for documentation that she kicked a little boy in the shins back in kindergarten.
The only surprises would be his grades and perhaps this cum laude idea is fake. College transcripts will only show his courses and grades.
Bad grades, easy courses. Makes the perilous fruits of AA more obvious.
