Interesting. My own theory is that the long form shows something unflattering about Obama but not pertaining to the location of his birth.

I'm guessing it probably shows that Barry Hussein Sr. and Stanley Anne were never really married, or indicates through an address or something that they were long since separated by the time she gave birth to junior.

I honestly do think that Stanley Anne was the type who turned wild in her first semester of college, got herself knocked up by an already-married foreign exchange student, and never saw him again after that night, and especially not after he went home to take three other wives in Kenya. Being a good little liberal, Stanley Anne probably wanted to abort the baby but those were pre-Roe days so she became a single mother, and the long form proves it. But that would be an unwelcome admission for somebody who has built up his ENTIRE political career around the African racial identity of his father.

I think your explanation nails it.

If they weren't married, then he's OK. If they were married, he may not be OK given the presumptions of the law at the time, but if he was born abroad he's NOT OK unless they weren't married. Then, he's still OK.

It's something more embarrassing, like maybe "she" wasn't his mommy!

Very plausible indeed.
At this point its almost a moot point anyway. The dude’s going down or will have a very miserable next few years. Not only from us, but the witch hitlery haunting him like voodoo.

Like you by-line tag! Was a brilliant line by Neil.

I have sometimes wondered if it was possible for them to have been married. I assume the US recognized his first marriage, in which case he could not have been legally married here, since we don’t recognize polygamy.

I think you are right on. Explains everything about the whole issue.

There are some who believe that Frank Marshall Davis was Obama’s biological father. That would be ironic: it would solve the natural born citizen problem 9at least until we get to the Indonesian ties), but it would be an especially hard political blow, given Obama’s “Dreams From My Father” reputation.

But whatever the truth is, I am sure the media will work overtime to defend him. Witness Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, etc.

Nope. Even in his first book, Obama admits he didn’t know for sure if his parents were ever married, and he didn’t really want to know. So it’s something more embarrassing than that. Also, coming from an unwed single mother is NOT something to keep a good person out of the White House any more.

We know that she did see him again.

Abortions most certainly were available in pre-Roe days - just not legal in the US. Mexico was a popular destination for abortions at the time.

Usually an unmarried pregnant girl was sent away to "visit relatives", the baby put up for adoption, and the girl returned home with no one the wiser - everything was very secret.

Last, but not least was the shotgun wedding.

That's an advantage in being over the hill - you know how things were in the olden days.
