I read your long post proporting to show Obama lost his US citizenship.

It is very nice, except that it ignores one curcial thing: US citizenship is governed by US law, not Indonesian law and not the Hague convetion.

Unfortunately for the birther case, there is no provision under US immigration law at the time (the 1952 immigration and nationality act) under which Obama would have lost his citizenship as a minor living in Indonesia, even if he were adopted by Lolo.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Oh, and one other thing: WorldNutDaily isn't a reliable source, and neither is African Press International. The proported interview with Michelle Obama, wherein she supposedly admitted her husband was adopted, never took place.

Newsflash Curiosity....

African Press International (API) claims to have audio recordings of Michelle Obama in a bigoted rant against “American bloggers” and anti-Obama media outlets (Fox?).

The release has taken long due to the fact that API wanted to clear all legal hurdles and be safe from getting sued by any one. API and a US Law firm - LAW OFFICES OF PHILIP J. BERG has just entered into an agreement giving the law firm the right to represent API in all matters that may arise due to the Michelle Obama interview and the release of the tapes in the US.

API has realised that the interview with Mrs Obama is of great significance in the coming elections. The release of the tapes is not intended to derail the elections or to destroy the chances that Mr Obama may have in getting elected the first black president of the United States.

There is reading, then there is READING...

There are claims that a parent cannot expatriate a child’s U.S. citizenship, however, this is not correct.

See The Nationality Act of 1940, revised 1952, Section 318(a) “A former citizen of the United States expatriated through the expatriation of such person’s parent or parents and who has not acquired the nationality of another country by any affirmative act other than the expatriation of his parent or parents may be naturalized upon filing a petition for naturalization before reaching age of twenty-five years and upon compliance with all requirements of the naturalization laws with the following exceptions: (b) No former citizen of the United States, expatriated through the expatriation of such person’s parent or parents shall be obliged to comply with the requirements of the immigration laws, if he has not not acquired the nationality of another country by any affirmative act other than the expatriation of his parent or parents, and if he has come or shall come to the United States before reaching the age of twenty-five years. (c) After his naturalization such person shall have the same citizenship status as if he had not been expatriated.”

Renewing an Indonesian Passport after the age of 18 is an affirmative act, as you are swearing allegiance to another Country. Soetoro/Obama renewed his Indonesian Passport when he traveled to Pakistan, that is why he had to stop in Indonesia first.

Remember, in 1981, Dunham was divorcing Soetoro in Hawaii and was not in Indonesia. Obama/Soetoro admits to traveling to Indonesia first and then onto Pakistan. Soetoro/Obama claims in his book “Dreams from my father” that he stopped in Indonesia to visit his mother. But again, his mother was not in Indonesia, she was in Hawaii with Maya, divorcing Lolo Soetoro.
In addition, the State Department has stated in response to a FOIA request that they do not have a U.S. Passport application on file for Barack H. Obama.
