The term African-American was created in 1987 from the poem “I Can”, so this was way after Obama’s birth. If this is the Original, the word August is typed out wherein the twins’ BC is abbreviated. Small but inconsistent point. Obama made a wrong move with this, it will raise many more questions then answers.
1. Different clerks. Likely small inconsistencies in all the long forms.
2. African. Was there a form handed to the parents? They filled it out and then typed it? If so, Kenyans did refer to themselves as “Africans” at the time. Obviously if it’s a box to check... African wouldn’t be on the list.
3. Obama WANTS questions to still be ask as he set it up, “Whatever I do, those crazies will still say I wasn’t born here.” He’s worried about the soft middle of American politics. Wants to paint himself as the reasonable moderate and Republicans as “extreme” and this helps him do that.
Also, there were questions about ‘who is Anna’ so using “(Stanley) Ann” for her signature was smart. And she very well may have tried to use Ann instead of the oddball “Stanley” name at phases of her life.
Let’s see what the scoop on the doctor is and what the experts figure out from here.
