If his birth was announced in the Hawaii newspaper in 1961, as this author has claimed, where is a microfiche of the paper from that day, including the announcement? Surely, a copy of the newspaper is open to the public. If nothing else, it might answer some of the questions, namely, what was his birth name? And who were his named parents?

It's not the same as a birth certificate, but it'd be a start.

The news item specifically mentions the birth announcement which appears in both “The Honolulu Advertiser” and “The Star-Bulletin”. The address which appears in that announcement is 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy. Reading through the various articles which appeared in “The Honolulu Advertiser” prior to Jr’s election that particular address is NOT associated with the Dunham family nor with Obama Sr. From “The Honolulu Advertiser” the Dunhams lived in “a large house on Kamehameha Ave.” followed by “a modest wooden house on University Ave., near Kamanele Park” prior to moving into the 10th floor apartment at “16175 Beretania St.” where Madelyn Dunham lived for 40 years until her death earlier this week.Obama Sr. lived first at the “Atherton Y.M.C.A.” followed by “a small, single story home in St. Louis Heights(which was torn down sometime between June,1962 and December of 1971). Explain to me how a “poor university student” and his “wife” managed to live in a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in a high priced district 7 miles from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I invite you to go to google maps and enter first the University of Hawaii at Manoa in followed by the areas given for each of the principles until you enter the birth announcement address and note the distance. No one has come up with who the owner of that property was in 1961 but it wasn’t the Dunhams or Obama Sr so who was it?
