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.

Ok, but that presupposes that it was very important to the family that Barack be seen as having been born in the US at the time. Well, if that’s the case, why go to Kenya to give birth in the first place? No one disputes that his parents met and got married in Hawaii. I just have a hard time thinking up a motive for any woman to decide “hey, I’ll go fly thousands of miles to give birth in some third world hospital instead of at a modern US hospital, but I want everyone to think I gave birth here, so I’ll make sure mom pulls the wool over the newspapers’ eyes.”

C’mon.

You're right, the two newspaper announcements prove nothing, however they do support the COLB, and Barry's own book.

All three list Barry's father as Barack Obama. Let's just agree with the leftists contention that the they are factual. They all indicate Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

You are correct, things were a lot looser back then. My late mother was an adopted baby. My grandmother was dating the lawyer who got her divorce from her first husband. According to family members, she just showed up one day with a baby girl. The lawyer had procured the infant for my grandmother. This was my mom. When she was of an age to go to school, my grandmother went to the county clerk's office, told them she had been born at home, and the date and time of birth. They gave my grandmother a birth certificate. (BTW, my father was actually born at home.) Now, this was in the 1920's; but, I could see someone placing a birth notice in a newspaper without any "official" documentation during the 60's -- it would not have been difficult.

Also, it was the proper thing to announce the birth of a child and his parents rather than it being a single mother giving birth to a black child.
