Read the listing carefully, twice if necessary. You just might pick up on the term, ‘ birth home.

And for all I know, the realtor pitching that property may have believed our 43rd President was born there. And it's doubtful the realtor has the right property. In that listing, it's designated as 281 Edwards Street. However as the NY Times reported:

George W. was born to Barbara and George Bush in what was then Grace-New Haven Community Hospital and is now Yale-New Haven Hospital. The new baby's first home, according to Herbert Parmet, his father's biographer, was 37 Hillhouse Avenue, a one-family house that had been converted into apartments for veterans and their families.

See also Wikipedia -- Hillhouse Avenue ("Graves-Gilman House (now 37 Hillhouse), 1866. Victorian Italian Villa. Home of Sheffield professor, Daniel Coit Gilman. Converted into apartments for married Yale students (1946–1957). George H. W. Bush lived here while he was a student and his son lived here until the age of two.")

Yes, those presidential "birth homes" pop right up, except when you find the wrong one.

But, again, since Obama wasn't born in a home and since he didn't spend more than a few weeks at any place in Hawaii before Stanley Ann headed to Washington State, it's no surprise there isn't much attention made to whatever residence he may have momentarily had in Hawaii.

Add to that the fact that the parents’ home address is irrelevant to presidential eligibility, particularly after 54 years.

There are four elements to documenting Article II Section 1 eligibility via a birth certificate: (1) place of birth, (2) date of birth, (3) official certification, and (4) governmental seal.

Also, there is no state in the union and no federal law that requires a candidate or a president to document their eligibility by using a birth certificate. Under federal statutes, a U.S. passport is the preferred form of evidence to be presented to document citizenship status and identity.

If you dig through the threads on this issue you will find postings of the Passenger Aircraft rules from that period. They wouldn't allow a two week old infant to fly.

Of course you are gullible enough to believe they would. Idiot.
