If he was really born in Kenya, running a fake article in the news would help him get American citizenship since his mother hadn’t spent enough years in the US to legally transfer citizenship to him. That is also why the real birth certificate is suspected to not name the hospital. It was a bogus address.
Actually it was bogus for BHO Sr, but not for Stanley Ann or her parents, who were living there, but did not own it, in '61. The owner, a UofH proff, didn't start living there until '63. Based on Honolulu City directories for the years in question. They even show Stanley Ann living there, but never BHO Sr.
