Neither of us would have traveled at all with a newborn baby (in cloth diapers, no less!), and certainly not a teenager alone, by plane, international flight in 1961, when few people flew. Where was the money for a very expensive fare?
The Canadian birth makes sense, as does a date different from the one he’s claimed. After all, we have no reason to accept the Aug. 1961 date except 0’s word, and that’s not worth much right now, as far as I’m concerned.
That birthdate may, indeed, be why all the school records are scrubbed. As long as nobody knows for sure when he was born, it makes it much harder to look for any documentation of the birth.
We need to disregard everything 0 has told us about his background and start over, using ONLY provable facts. Which means starting with a fairly blank slate.
I gave birth to my first child in 1970, a few months after Ann was supposed to have delivered Obama. I was a few weeks shy of my 19th birthday, just like Ann. I can attest that I was physically exhausted, bleeding, and certainly not able to travel for at least a month. I heard the report of her visit to her friend in Washington in about Feb, 2008, long before any of this birth certificate stuff started. Bells went off in my head. How could this be, I thought. When I got a call from a staffer during the primary asking for my vote, I questioned his birth in Hawaii with this interview I had seen. The lady didn’t know anything about it. I told her something fishy was up and I wouldn’t vote for him. I began following everything on him and in March, I saw the birth certificate question on a blog. I don’t now recall who it was. In June, NRO, brought it up, and soon DailyKos posted the COLB.
I don’t believe any of it. I don’t know what the truth is but clearly it is not what is being told.
