If there was a single shred of credible evidence that he wasn’t born in the United States, I’d be screaming. But there isn’t. Nothing produced or alleged so far has been anything but a rumor. And what he produced is a legal document. If it’s a forgery, someone has to see the copy he produced and then prove it.

The likelihood that she even WENT to Kenya is low, anyway. There’s no proof. Imagine traveling around the world in 1961 from the West Coast to Kenya. It would take days, not hours, to do that in those days. And with a newborn? What? She smuggled him in? Please!! It’s absurd when you really think about it.

And then there’s the birth announcements in two newspapers. Puhleeze!

The following is a blurb from a foreign paper. If your argument is valid re: the newspaper birth announcement, than this one is just as valid. The writer sources names, places etc that new BO way back when.

Barrak Hussein Obama II was born to a white American Ann Dunham and Kenyan Barrak Hussein Obama Snr, in Nyang’oma Kogelo now in Kenya.

That is NOT the POINT, here. He is illegal to serve because of his DUAL citizenship!!!!!

.. the repeated references to State Department requirements for a passport take on a new significance in the light of the recognition, pointed out by an Israel Insider reader, that this "new" certificate of live birth is recorded as being photographed on March 12, 2008, and a contract employee of an Obama advisor -- allegedly a former CIA agent -- was caught breaking into Obama's passport files on March 14, 2008. Indeed, his passport file was looked at twice before--both times BEFORE this "certification of live birth" (not "certificate of birth," as FactCheck sloppily calls it) was photographed.

No, nothing suspicious here at all.

“Puhleeze!”

Fair enough. Got any ideas on why he’s fighting so hard to keep from producing the long-form certificate?

My guess always was that his second middle name was Mohammed or that it contained some other embarrassing detail like a different name for the father.

I could easily see the birth announcement being done just to try to prevent anyone questioning his citizenship. It didn’t have to be as some nut suggested that his mother was making plans for him to run for president some day.

As for smuggling him in, if she was reentering the country as an American citizen with a valid passport and carrying her infant son I doubt there would have been a big problem.
