Leo finally posted an unsnipped comment from me attempting to discuss whether and where Stanley Ann and Obama Sr were married, if they were married. He previously snipped such comments declaring they were salacious and defamatory.

Now that Leo thinks he has identified a way to compel HI to deny that they have a record of a vital statistics event like a birth or marriage in their possession he should have a method of forcing HI to admit or deny that there is such a marriage record.

By including Obama’s quote from “Dreams” in my most recent comment where Obama calls the marriage of his own parents into question I think Leo (who may have missed this) can't say discussion of this marriage is defamatory.

Here is my post on Leo's blog with his comments as “Ed.” the editor:

[ed if he were born nbc, later if he became a US citizen as a child, that would not change his nbc status, this was the holding of the Elg case before SCOTUS... but there's no way he's nbc since at the time of his birth, he was British... the COLB posted by factcheck has never been authenticated officially by Hawaii. we are working on this.]

[ed. Apparently it has been authenticated by Hawaii... more on this to come.]

Re: your comment above “…but there.s no way he’s nbc since at the time of his birth, he was British…”

While you and TerriK are at it I respectfully request (without a hint of previously alleged salaciousness or defamation…an allegation which I must protest as being defamatory towards my anonymous persona, Seizethecarp, on behalf of my anonymous persona …) …I request that you or others request the HI vital index history for Stanley Ann Dunham with special attention to the index for a record in which you have absolute confidence as to its existence, that being her marriage on Maui in 1961.

[ed. yes, we have that on our list. I will add that there is nothing stopping anyone else from requesting the same...you don't even have to give your real name to do so.]

The best evidence to date, a 1964 divorce decree for the marriage, supports the fact of that marriage.

Note that Obama himself stated in “Dreams” without a hint of salaciousness or defamation towards his parents:

“How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore.”

[ed. good quote...]
