Claim: Barack Obama must have used a non-U.S. passport to travel to Pakistan in 1981.

FALSE

Origins: This item is yet another of many similar pieces purporting to offer some bit of evidence demonstrating that Barack Obama is not a native-born citizen of the U.S. and thus is ineligible to be President of the United States. The premise in this case is that a young Barack Obama visited Pakistan back in 1981, a country he allegedly could not have traveled to on a U.S. passport, and thus he must have used a passport issued by some other country, such as the U.K. (Obama's father was a Kenyan and thus a British subject) or Indonesia (where Obama lived for a while after his mother married an Indonesian citizen) -- a circumstance supposedly demonstrating that Barack Obama wasn't born in the U.S., once held multiple citizenships, or at some point gave up his U.S. citizenship.

During a fundraiser in San Francisco in April 2008, Barack Obama made reference to a visit he had undertaken to Pakistan during his college years (a journey he had not mentioned in either of his books). His campaign press secretary, Bill Burton, later provided some additional detail about that trip to curious journalists: During the summer of 1981, when he was twenty years old, Barack Obama visited with his mother and half-sister in Indonesia, then embarked on a three-week trip to Pakistan with a college friend whose family lived in Karachi. However, the claim that Barack Obama must have set out on that trip to Pakistan using a non-U.S. passport is false: The U.S. State Department did not include Pakistan on a "no travel" list barring Americans from traveling there in mid-1981, and evidence documents that Americans could in fact freely visit that country at that time...

BS, and it’s irrelevant right now. It will be very relevant in 2012. States and Americans will insist that he pony up if he wants to run. No free rides next time around and he will run again. These movin on up scumbags are going to milk this new freebie lifestyle for all they can.

You mean like this?

Please note the definition of "Native" from 1771 Encyclopedia Britannica...bammie does not even qualify as Native born let alone Natural Born.

Get lost troll.

SNOPES? The Mikkelson's are frauds.

"Barack Obama's parents separated when he was two years old, his father moving to Connecticut to continue his education before returning to Kenya. When the younger Obama was six years old, his mother married again, this time to Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil manager."

In 1964, Barack Obama, Sr. was living at 170 Magazine Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts NOT Connecticut!

His mother married Soetoro in March of 1965, when Barry was only three years old!

You just forgot to mention that a few most critical and important pages from his mother's passport applications are conveniently "missing"(?) likewise so many other record documents. You can't get your hands on any document out of Indonesia either!!!

Why is there any reason for Kenya to seal all records there, huh???
