Given that Obama is a pathological liar, it’s difficult to put credence in anything he says. I note, however, that when he had nothing to lose he said he was born in Kenya. He didn’t change that narrative until it proved politically inconvenient—a point worth contemplating.

You never did weigh in, btw, on why Obama claimed Kenyan birth in the first place. In case you didn’t notice, it was a sincere question and I am genuinely curious as to your take on it. Thank you in advance.

I think there was someone in Kenya (a grandmother?) who said Obama was born in Kenya. Now, that person might be a competent witness.

I have no idea why Obama might have said he was born in Kenya. Maybe it was to get some votes from some group. Maybe the lady described in the prior paragraph told him he was born in Kenya. I really don't know, but what I do know is that Obama doesn't remember where he was born. A person's birthplace can often be proved with witnesses who do remember.

I also know that, until recently, it was impossible to prove (except sometimes by the mother's testimony) exactly who fathered a child and I also know that many of our past presidents were elected after their mothers were no longer available to serve as witnesses.

I don't believe that our Founding Fathers intended to create a qualification that usually couldn't be proved one way or the other.
