Doesn’t matter where his mother lived before his birth.
What matters is where she lived after his birth on her 18th birthday.
“Pursuant to American citizenship laws, you are a U.S. citizen if ALL of the following are true:
* (a) One of your parents was a U.S. citizen when you were born;
* (b) Your citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before you were born; and
* (c) At least 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after your citizen parent’s 14th birthday.”
Then Obama should deliver his Birth Certificate to Phil Berg and the issue would be over in a NY minute.
We now know a woman can just give information about the father on the birth certificate, and who knows what language they used in Hawaii for black in 1961.
It probably is the same 10.00 fee with certification!

Not to be racist. I bet the term used was “Negro”
How about someone in Hawaii going down to the newspaper and check for “Born this week” at the hospital listed. Back in the 1960’s every paper had them. If his name shows up, or more likely doesn’t show, it would throw a lot more information into the mix.
Well, they are public records.
No reason for them to be kept secret.
Unless they don’t possess it because he wasn’t born in Hawaii.
Did you read post 74?
To be proper, the correct race would have been “Negro”, especially at that time. However, given the diversity of ethnic backgrounds here in Hawaii, who knows what the usual procedure in 1961 was. I am sure that there were plenty of hapa-haoles having children at that time, so how would a half-caucasian, half-japanese parent usually be described?
Also, if Obama’s father was part Arab, as rumored(?), wouldn’t “African” have been more appropriate? After all, North Africans are Arabs or some similar ethnicity.
In any case, the use of “African” to describe his father still seems strange.
You are the one trying to disprove that Obama was born in Hawaii. We've seen his birth certificate, which proves he was born there. So, the onus is on you to make a case that he was born elsewhere.
I have no idea what Indonesian law says on this issue. However, unless someone can show evidence that Obama renounced his US citizenship, his status under Indonesian law is completely irrelevant.
You’ve seen his birth certificate? Wow. Contact Phil Berg, and he’ll drop his lawsuit.
The COLB, however is photoshopped.
North Africans are not Arabs. If they are not black they are mixed from colonization.
Not if he travelled on an Indonesian passport. Then it would be a big issue. Especially if it was to Pakistan. What name was the passport issued in Obama or Sortoro?
Heck we know more about Joe the Plumber then we do Obama?
Americans have a right to know.
Citizen you sound like a spy here among the Freepers!
I believe he had an Indonesian passport, which you can't get without being a citizen of Indonesia.
In the 60’s ‘black’ or ‘negro’ would have been the most widely used description for race.
No one would put ‘American’ as ‘Race’ for an American citizen anymore than they would put ‘African’ for a citizen of an African country.
Obama’s father being from Africa doesn’t mean he is ‘African’.
His ‘race’ would probably depend upon which part of Africa he was from.
If he came from an Arab nation, then ‘Arab’ would probably be the correct word.
What ‘race’ is a person from Kenya?
Sure isn’t ‘African’.
“In any case, the use of “African” to describe his father still seems strange.”
I agree.
