“the birth announcement.”
I’M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS STUPID EXCUSE! I was born in DC in ‘46. My Mom’s parents put a birth announcement in the Akron Beacon Journal. My Dad’s parents put an announcement in both The Cleveland Press and The Plain Dealer. Birth announcements printed in newspapers don’t prove SQUAT about where a person was born!
I think the whole cover up simply began out of embarrassment of the family...with no one ever thinking it would be a political issue in the future. And probably, for years even, perhaps Barack didn't even know the truth. Maybe that is part of why he is so angry at white people, and so afraid to have the information known. I suspect realizing your mother was pregnant, not married to the man you thought was your father/not knowing who your father really was/is, and having grandparents and relatives feel uncomfortable with you in their midst as a bi-racial child, among other abandonment issues has formed Obama's dysfunctional psyche.
