And here's the thing. The COLB may well not have been based on an actual birth in Hawaii. It required no independent witnesses. It may well have been fraudulently created in an attempt to claim American citizenship for the young Obama, who was quite possibly living in Mombasa at the time.
American citizenship was valuable in 1961, just as it is now. Some people abused the woefully lax Hawaiian registration workflow in an attempt to steal citizenship. Claim a birth at home, avoid getting a signature from an independent observer. It's not a full birth certificate, but it might be good enough for some official uses.
Obama’s mother wouldn’t have had to be in HI to set up a COLB: she had relatives in Hawaii at the time.
Hope this is helpful.
There are many reasons that Obama’s mother or grandparents would have wanted to make sure that Obama was considered a citizen of this great country. This argument of yours is a strawman cooked up by the left. Nice try.
Remember Rahm's visit to Kenya just after the election? A strange time to visit a foreign country when so much work was being done to get the new administration going. Wonder if his mission in Kenya was to clean up some loose ends.....?
In other news: API will soon release the Michell Obama “Whitey” tape.
Today is O’s birthday.I bet he got about a million cards from WND.
Israel ???
Obama made someone in Israel mad at him...
Well, those guys wont give up...
“Move from the settlements ??? You nuts ???
You’ll be moving from the White House long before we ever move from the settlements”
:)
So: the announcements in the papers were batch-created from a batch of COLBs, one of which was about Obama. The announcements are best thought of as fingerprints indicating the presence of a COLB.
Now of course the newspaper announcements also listed addresses: these details do not appear on the COLB. Evidently there was subsidiary workflow: either a long form B/C or - as I believe in Obama’s case - the details were given on the request-for-a-COLB.
I don’t know how COLBs were requested in HI, and I doubt the request form(s) would have survived. They have no statutory significance. But that’s what I think happened: a COLB was requested and created fraudulently with little or no oversight from the HI authorities.
This is why the LFCOLB (long-form COLB, my acronym) is so important: if one existed it would have signatories from independent observers, doctors etc, not just dubious assertions from family members made over the counter at a Health center. Obama needs an LFCOLB to prove birth in Hawaii.
Who lived at that address shown in his newspaper birth annnouncement? Not his family.

The newspaper birth annoucement consists of a Obama campaign-linked website image of a microfichure frame - and appeared 40 days after the true resident of that property died.
Just sayin.
When 0bama was elected President the first thing he signed was an order that all of his records would remain sealed. Mr. Transparency starts out with a Bang!
Rahm went to Kenya on safari! It was a family vacation!
Don’t you remember seeing press photos of the new WH COS from his cultural immersion African vacation?
(sound of crickets)
Hopefully Rahm was not the only Great White Israeli Hunter in Kenya
If the newspaper got the birth announcement from the COLB- why the bogus address in the newspaper birth announcement?
inquiring minds
Where is the copy of that order? That should be available to the public yeah?
In the early sixties my wife and I had three children. In every case I saw a log book in the hospital maternity ward where the births were listed and the babies given ID so I guess switches weren’t made. Wonder if the logs of the Hawaii hospital is filed in some storage room somewhere.
Do you think there was a conspiracy going back to 1961 to falsify his actual birth location?

Yeppers...
It started with Granny Toots lying on the birth registration form...
Probably to assure that Ann could get free schooling, bennies etc for her “American” baby Barrack
In 1961, illegal aliens and immigrants did not get bennies from the US govt...
That didnt even happen in 1971...
In 1971 it was against the law for immigrants to even APPLY for handouts...
You are right! We should be posting 0bama’s order that he signed into law to never release his records every chance we get! Now, how do we get a copy of that order?
“Why did Rahm spend 3 years in Africa?”
Maybe he ran across John Effin’ Kerry’s mistress Alexanda Polier- she also went to Kenya when things got hot.

Granny Toots was paving the way for her grandson to get the free ride which he then proceeded to get for his entire life!
