I still do not see any reason why the grandparents would want to ensure that he was a NATURAL BORN citizen. He could very well have been naturalized at any time—why the necessity to falsify a birth announcement. It does not make sense to me.
I understand you may disagree.
U.S. citizenship is highly valued around the world, even back in the 60’s many would have given anything to have such citizenship. Given what I know of Ann she was flightly and given to whims of fancy not thinking the consequences through. She also did not think it was important to be married in order to have children, which was something she expressed to her high school classmates. There are many more questions than answers that have been raised; such as why Ann registered at University of Washington and lived in WA state in August of 1961. In April of 1962, high school friends said she was depressed because she could not find a job. Why couldn’t she find a job in 1962 Seattle when the World’s Fair opened in March/62. Why have none of Sr’s classmates and friends ever mentioned Ann? Many mention Sr but the only one who mentions Ann is Rep Neil Abercrombie, an avid Obama supporter. Why do 1961 pictures of Obama Sr attending parties not show Ann in attendance? Why did her high school friend, Susan Blake, say she received a letter from Ann in spring 1961 saying she was going to be married soon, when the “official story” is that the couple married on Feb.2/61? When Ann visited with Susan Blake in August of 1961 why didn’t Ann know how to change diapers? Whose home address was listed in the published birth announcement? The above are only a partial list of questions which have been raised about Obama. He could come clean and simply ask the Dept of Health to release the long form birth certificate but instead he hides behind lawyers. Why? The matter of privacy is not relevant IF the information on the forged C.O.L.B. is correct because even the long form certificate did NOT include anything like religion but it does include a spot for country of birth. Also exactly which hospital was he born in Kaliopani, Queen’s or Coast Region?
Oh - you’re still here. Well, will you admit you were wrong about the newspaper birth announcement?
Second, if Obama was born in Kenya and it was not announced as such, they obviously would not do so thinking “in the future little Barack Hussein will run for president so we much make sure he is a natural born citizen” which is the straw man argument you keep making.
If they did purposely hide his Kenyan birth, if that’s what happened, it could very well be for many other reasons. No one except you has ever posited that his mother or grandparents wanted to make sure that decades in the future he would qualify as a natural born citizen.
And they may not have hidden his Kenyan birth, if indeed he was born there. It is Obama himself who is now hiding practically every bit of documentation of his entire life.
You think people here are really stupid.
The birth announcement is likely a forgery. Not something the grandparents falsified. Read what Calpernia has said about it.
