Why would the grandparents want to "cover up"? That question has to be answered in a way that makes sense to the "reasonable man".
lucy:”Why would the grandparents want to “cover up”? That question has to be answered in a way that makes sense to the “reasonable man”.”
As I understand (and have read), there is a question about the address that was given in the newspaper announcements that does not appear to match up to any valid address for the Obama’s or the Stanley’s. This does seem to call into question the validity of the newspaper account.
I think FreeManN is making an assumption that this was not a clerical error but instead was malfeasance on the part of the Stanley family.
The question would be, why is the “incorrect” address given for the birth announcement? Was it an error on the part of the newspaper, the hospital, or was it actually submitted by the family? If it was submitted by the family, why??
