Anyway, you might, of course be right: the BC might be real but it might state Frank Marshall Davis as the father. Wouldn’t surprise me. That might also explain the trip to Hawaii: Hussein doesn’t want to release the BC (because of the Frank Marshall Davis association) but wants to quell the rumors; so he paid a visit to Ms. Fukino and gave his permission for her to see the BC in order to verify its existence, as well as to make a vague statement to that effect to the press.

Ditto. I've always believed he was born in Hawaii. But that is not why the BC is being hidden. It's not his birth place that is problematic, it's the information shown on it.

His daddy isn't who he says he is, IMO.

It’s a fascinating scenario. And what better way to stall legitimate inquiry into his BC than by planting and encouraging rumors that he was born in Kenya...a rumor guaranteed to lead its investigator(s) nowhere as well as to cultivate great skepticism toward those attempting more fruitful research on the BC. A clever strategy, if true.

This would also make statements by family members that they had witnessed the birth of Hussein in Kenya to be purposeful misdirection.

If that were the case the director would have plainly stated, “Barak Obama was born in Hawaii”, and most of this controversy would immediately go away.

The director didn't say that though.

At this point, no one planning to vote for The One, would give a rat's patootee about that. They wouldn't care if no father is shown on the original BC. So he was a bastard, so are lots of people these days. I don't think it's anything that mundane.
