“I have no idea where he was born but I’ve a good sense that it wasn’t here. Nothing verifiable has been presented, documentation has been erased or fabricated.”
Nonsense. Look, if you believe documentary evidence and statements on the record are fabricated just for the sake of believing powers-that-be lie, you end up in conspiracy-land.
Getting back to reality, we have this stack of evidence validating his birth in Hawaii:
1. Common sense - Stanley Dunham and Barack Obama Sr lived, met and were students in Honolulu. That was there hometown. As students, they had little money, so the natural conclusion would be that they would have very likely had their baby in Honolulu.
2. Marriage in Feb (shotgun wedding?), baby in August; honeymoon was on another hawaiian island; if they were going to travel anywhere else, THAT would have been the time to do it.
3. Newspaper announcement of birth one week after birth, Aug 4. Two newspapers had birth announcements on Aug 13 and Aug 14th, and they were in turn gotten from State of Hawaii records office ...

6. Obama obtained US passports for overseas travel. He needed valid birth certification that proved US citizenship to do so. While the above COLB is from 2007, he needed a prior one to get his passport to go to Kenya.
7. State officials from Hawaii vouched for his birth records being on file and him being born in Hawaii.

Factcheck? You must be kidding! Next time go straight to the DNC and MoveOn websites.
Y ou’re posting stuff from factcheck? Please. Any amateur can demonstrate it’s a fraud. I mean, you can “accept” it if you want.

No?
Accepting a picture on a website as proof of the most important constitutional question to ever face this generation is pure insanity.
