“he was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather, thus his orginal birth certificate (from wherever) would have been part of the sealed adoption record kept in Hawaii”
There is an interesting angle I’ve not thought of before. When children are adopted, it was the practice in the past to seal the original birth certificate (so even the child listed on it couldn’t see it) and generate a new birth certificate listing the adoptive parents. The idea was to protect the identity of the parents that were giving up custody.
So why does Obama’s COLB birth certificate list his father? Since he was adopted, shouldn’t it list his adoptive father (or at least not list his natural father)?
Open adoption records were sealed...
Inside adoption files were not... His mother remarried. His step father adopted, not from his mother, but with his mother.
If this story is true, the adoption took place in Indonesia, making Obama an Indonesian citizen, not a US citizen.
HIs COLB was what his mother or grandparents originally obtained when she returned to Hawaii to “register” his birth (possibly in Kenya)
His new birth certificate from adoption probably has his names shown as Barry Soetero - this would be equally embarrassing because he probably never legally changed his name (back?) to Barack Obama, and as “Barack Obama” starting in his teens or 20’s, he probably never admitted on law school or other records to using aliases or other names
Barry Soetero was also registered as “muslim” on his Indonesian papers
There is also a constitutional matter of him probably not having taken steps, when his mother dumped him back on his grandparents at age 10, to give up Indonesian and regain his American citizenship by age 18 - his passport and oath of citizenship documents were requested as part of the Berg lawsuit filing
Some speculation that his school (college) records are sealed because of his name and possibly his nationality on his school records! He may have obtained loans or scholarship aid as a foreign student!
