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.

In regards to your own experience, I don't know -- "how could this be..." as you ask.
All I do know is that we've got an official statement from the State of Hawaii, the official maintainers of the birth information for Obama and in which they certify that he was born there and that he is a natural born citizen.
It would seem to be (in regards to your own experience) to be a variation between individuals, more than anything else...
Officially speaking -- we've got the word from the State of Hawaii.
