Was President Obama born out of wedlock in 1961?
The question has been rekindled by the publication this month of "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage" by former Time magazine contributing editor Christopher Andersen.
Andersen has raised once again the question of whether Obama's parents were ever officially married, writing on page 25: "On February 21, 1961 – a Thursday – Barack Obama and Ann Dunham were reportedly married in a civil ceremony on the island of Maui, although there are no official records showing that a legal ceremony ever took place."
Dunham was a teenager, 18-years-old, when Barack Obama Jr. was born.
Andersen elaborated, "There were certainly no witnesses (to the alleged civil marriage ceremony) – no family members were present, and none of their friends at the university had the slightest inkling that they were even engaged."
Anderson further quoted Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, a self-admitted friend of Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham in 1961, as saying that "nobody" was invited to the wedding ceremony.

Ping.
That bastard!!!
That is what I have always thought. The birth certificate shows father as “unknown.” That is how they did it in the 60’s even if daddy fessed up.
Well, Obama must be hiding something. It would be so easy to show his birth certificate.
So is he NBC if they were not married? She could not confer citizenship due to her age and the father is still British.
I’ve been calling barry a bastard ever since I heard him speak. I guess I was just ahead of my time...
Frankly, it is doubtful Obama Sr is the long legged mack daddy’s father
Well, the Pres_ _ent is a sonofabitch, but we just don’t know about his birth ... yet.
I agree. Some people say he was really born in Kenya. But, it’s quite possible he was born in Hawaii, but that there is something on the birth certificate that he doesn’t want known.
1. Perhaps his parents weren’t married.
2. Perhaps his birth name was not Barack Obama. It could have been Barry Dunham.
3. Perhaps someone other than Barack Obama Sr. is listed as the father.
If there is a legitimate Hawaiian birth certificate, there is some reason that Barack doesn’t want us to see it.
Assuming they were married as he claims, since bigamy is illegal in Hawaii (and every other state) the marriage was null and void.
Barak Sr. already had a wife waiting for him back in Kenya.
Definitely an arrogant b*st*rd...
This is nothing. Wait until we’re dealing with sperm bank parents.
Why did Stanley Ann take Obama’s name then? There was a listing, I believe in Seattle, which shows her using Ann Obama. Also, why get divorced if you were never married?
(I guess I’ll read the article now ;)
All of those things are minor from my perspective but I admit I doubt I would understand the O’s thinking on this if that was the case anyway.
BTW, my theory is he was first named Barry Dunham, son of Stanley Ann Dunham, then renamed Barry Obama when Stanley claimed marriage to Barack Obama, sr, then renamed Barry Soetoro when Stanley married Lolo Soetoro and he was adopted byt Lolo, then Barry cahnged his name officially to Barack Hussein Obama in 1988 when he decided to be that persona for the gaming value of it after exploiting his Indonesian citizenship for all he could get out of it for college entry, tuition, and passport travels.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the father is unknown or refuses to be named, doesn't the child get the mother's surname by default?
I think the mother has absolute control over the last name, whether true or not.
