It's certainly true that Senator Obama, having recently admitted that he had dual Kenyan citizenship, must clear up the exact facts of his admittedly complex citizenship status: produce a birth certificate, produce hospital records, and produce documentation of his sojourn in Indonesia.

It is impossible that he lived in Indonesia for so many years without a significant paper trail, yet we don't know if he was on a visa, if he was a citizen, or if he has ever had a Kenyan or Indonesian passport.

I certainly would not be surprised if he had had either passport, because his father was a Kenyan official, and I strongly suspect that he did register his children as Kenyan citizens, and may have procured passports for them also.

As to Indonesia, again, it wouldn't surprise me with the very international circumstances of Senator Obama's life, that if he was a citizen of Indonesia that he did have a passport.

You had to be an Indonesian citizen to attend school there during the time Barry was in school.

Also in 1981 you couldn’t travel to Pakistan on an American passport as it was blacklisted except for Government employees plus you had to be Muslim to enter the Country.

On Rush he said something about Campbell Brown said it didn’t make any difference if Obama was Muslim or was African, people would still vote for him. Heard it on the radio in my car. I might have misunderstood — did anyone else hear?

The development at this time seems to be Obama’s acquiring Indonesian citizenship through being adopted by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro.

He may have lost his U. S. citizenship through that action -and he may still have Indonesian citizenship if it were not officially repudiated by age 21.

This is not trivial. See the respected blog and source: www.texasdarlin.wordpress.com

He lived there from 1967 to 1971. I didn't now 3 to 4 years qualified as 'so many years'.
