Since you ducked out of our earlier conversation, perhaps you missed where I pointed out that both of these accusations are incorrect.

That's never been proven.Tammy Duckworth did not say Obama was born in Indonesia; the author of the article himself has stated that that was his error, not hers.

Sorry, but I don't believe that. The reporter claimed that he found the part about Obama's birth in Indonesia on the Internet. That doesn't wash.

And Obama has not reported that he was born in two different hospitals. Obama has consistently stated that he was born at Kapiolani. I'm at a loss where you even got this idea.

Several places reported it, until Obama settled one place and had 'corrections' made. Here's a story about it:

Moving the goalposts. All of the available evidence says that your two statements are incorrect. You have no evidence to support their accuracy or factual validity. The lack of supporting evidence and the existence of contradictory evidence is a strong showing that you're wrong.

Sorry, but I don't believe that. The reporter claimed that he found the part about Obama's birth in Indonesia on the Internet. That doesn't wash.

Argument from personal incredulity. Unless you want to claim that the author is lying about where he got "Indonesia" from, and advance some plausible hypothesis as to why he would lie, it seems the only reason you don't believe him is because his confession does not sync with your preexisting hypothesis.

And why would it be implausible that he found the part about an Indonesian birth on the internet? Isn't that where you found it? The internet is awash with bad information. The difference is that the Duckworth article's author, when confronted with new evidence showing his original assumption was wrong, issued a correction.

Did you read that article before linking to it? Because there are no references in that article to instances where Obama reported having been born in any hospital other than Kapiolani. ZERO.

You've repeated a few times now that Obama reported more than one hospital as his place of birth. Above, you claim that several places have reported this. Can you provide even ONE real example of Obama identifying a hospital other than Queens? Just one?
