The birth announcement in the Honolulu paper at the time makes me think he was very likely born there. Is it possible his family could have manipulated that ad at the time? Sure, anything is possible. But it doesn’t seem very likely to me.

If they were so intent at the time to make it seem like he was born in the USA, then why go to Kenya to give birth in the first place?

Oh come on!
All they had to do was send grandma down to the paper and she told them when and where he was born.
No need for any confirmation in the form of a birth certificate was required.
This was 1961? or sometime there about. All you had to do was tell the newspaper of the birth and they would put it in the paper.
It proves nothing.

TG, the Honolulu paper birth announcement was found, in micro fiche form. This was found (going by memory) about the time Barry Soetaro decided to run for Pres. Micro fiche would be very easy to alter/counterfit.

Amazing that the left swears by the birth announcement as gospel, but completely the “Newly Elected, Kenyan Born US Senator from Illinois” as false.

You forget that Obama Sr had this little problem of getting his father's blessing on the marriage. A very necessary Kenyan custom my friend. With a wife pregnant, it makes that blessing come easier with a Father-in-law who doesn't like whites because of his dealings with the British.

There is actually substantial evidence that the newspaper announcements were forged, and the microfilm was tampered with.
