Obama Citizenship Controversy - Did Obama Travel to Pakistan on an Indonesian Passport? A Summary.

Does this mean Maya was born in Hawaii not Indonesia?

That's actually a minor controversy in and of itself.

The current thinking is that Maya Soetoro was NOT eligible to have recieved a "Certificate of Live Birth" from the state of Hawaii, and that Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro probably committed a felony in applying for and receiving that COLB from the state of Hawaii.

Need a proper link for that “Kentan born” graphic. The link given goes to a shambolic page parts of which haven’t been updated in years by the look of it !

If Obama is in Hawaii on “vacation” and able to get his birth certificate straightened out and the previous ones sealed.

Then all he has to do is present the new one and say nothing else matters, he is a citizen and has the paper to prove it.

The question is can he straighten out the previous mess of 1 or 2 previous birth certificates or is that only possible at adoption time or birth?

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Ah, the old Lautenburg for Torricelli switch..

Yep, the theory holds that that's what the Clintons are hoping for right now.

But they have to be very, very careful in how they play their cards here, for fear of literal rioting in the streets.

Funny you should mention that. I lived in Indonesia for two years and the first time I saw Obama, I really thought he was part Indonesian. And if you look at his half- sister Maya, they look very similar. I am not saying that Obama's Kenyan father is not the real one, but if you look at Obama Sr. and Obama, it is hard to discern what features he picked up from his father.

I have two Passports.

The question is can he straighten out the previous mess of 1 or 2 previous birth certificates or is that only possible at adoption time or birth?

That's another controversy in and of itself.

Here is a review of the major players involved:

1) Barack Hussein Obama Sr died in a drunk-driving wreck in 1982.

2) Lolo Soetoro died of a liver ailment in 1987.

3) Stanley Armour Dunham died in 1992, just shy of his 74th birthday.

4) Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Dunham Soetoro Dunham [or whatever she considered her name to have been] died of ovarian cancer in 1995.

5) Madelyn Payne Dunham is still alive, at the age of 85 [approaching her 86th birthday, in October of this year], but is rumored to be in ill health.

Now in most states, an adopted child CANNOT get a court order to have his adoption records unsealed - only the parents involved can consent to such an unsealing.

So if there was a circa-1965/1966 Soetoro adoption [which, in turn, would have sealed the earlier 1961 birth record], then, since all the adults involved are now deceased, its records could not be unsealed [under normal circumstances].

Now if there was a circa-1970 Dunham adoption, which superseded the [hypothesized] Soetoro adoption, then, at least in theory, Madelyn Payne Dunham could consent to having those 1970 records unsealed, but I don't think that anyone is expecting her to do that [if she even were to survive on this earth much longer - which, from what I'm reading, is doubtful].

All of this is further complicated by the new HIPAA laws involving medical records - if Barack Jr was born in a hospital in the United States [in the state of Hawaii, or maybe the state of Washington], then it would be a felony for a hospital employee to release the records of Barack Jr's birth without having first received written consent from Barack Jr. [Of course, presumably HIPAA would not apply if Barack Jr was in fact born in some foreign country, like Canada - just across the border from his early 1962 home of Seattle - or Kenya, or, as some people have speculated, Japan.]

At present, the best avenue for getting any documentation released is probably to go after a FOIA request to see whether the State Department knows what kind of passport Barack Jr used on his journey to Pakistan, in 1981.

And if, as an adult, in 1981, he used an "exclusively" Indonesian passport for that trip [remember, Indonesia does NOT recognize dual citizenship], then Barack Jr's hide is nailed to the wall.

Huh?

[Migraine]

Being such a chunky little effer in this photo, it’s hard to understand how he got so skinny? Coke, smoke?

[christie]

Actually, Obama looks a lot like Stanley’s father.

“And if, as an adult, in 1981, he used an “exclusively” Indonesian passport for that trip [remember, Indonesia does NOT recognize dual citizenship], then Barack Jr’s hide is nailed to the wall.”

I need help with this.. how is he nailed with this? Let’s assume he was born in such a way as that he was born a naturalized citizen. If he travelled on an Indonesian passport and they don’t recognize Dual citizenship.. so what? He could say he was either ignorant of Indonesian law.. or at worst say he lied and said he wasn’t an American citizen.

Just because he travelled on an Indonesian passport doesn’t mean he would automatically renounce his US citizenship... or does it?

[trumandogz]

I was born overseas to American parents and have a U.S. Passport as well as the passport of the nation where I was born.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Being such a chunky little effer in this photo, it’s hard to understand how he got so skinny? Coke, smoke?

That's another big topic of conversation around the web.

We know that Barack Jr is a chain smoker, and addicted to nicotine.

We also know that Barack Sr was an alcoholic [who killed at least one man in a drunk driving wreck before he later killed himself in another drunk driving wreck], who especially loved Scotch.

So it is at least conceivable that Barack Jr could have inherited an "addiction" gene, and might be taking some drug [in addition to nicotine] which is artifically suppressing his weight.

On his mother's side, he was certainly descended from a couple of porkers:

And, on his [polygamous] father's side of the family, the UK Sun recently tracked down Barack Jr's half-brother, by one of [the polygamist] Obama Sr's wives back in Kenya, and he ain't exactly anorexic, either:

On the other hand, in fairness to Barack Jr, there is a rather controversial writer on the internet [whom I am not allowed to link to] who has pointed out that Barack Sr may come from a Kenyan clan which is particularly skinny.

Google "Obama" and "Nilotic" and you will get a URL for a relevant story by the rather controversial writer to whom we are not allowed to link.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Just because he travelled on an Indonesian passport doesn’t mean he would automatically renounce his US citizenship... or does it?

As a child, no one would accuse Barack Jr of wrong-doing if Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro had allowed him to become an [exclusively] Indonesian citizen in the 1960's.

However, by 1981, Stanley Ann Dunham had divorced Lolo Soetoro, and had moved to Pakistan [on some liberal do-gooder mission], and, at that point, Barack Jr, who was [or is believed to have been] born in August of 1961, would have been an adult, of the age of 19 or 20.

And if Barack Jr, in 1981, as an adult, travelled to Pakistan to visit his mother, and if he used an "exclusively" Indonesian passport to make that trip [remember, there is no dual-citizenship in Indonesia], then he would be proving that, AS AN ADULT, there was a time when he did NOT consider himself to be a citizen of the United States of America.

And if that's true, then there are huge legal and constitutional questions involved in his attempt to ascend to the presidency of the United States of America.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

However, by 1981, Stanley Ann Dunham had divorced Lolo Soetoro

Actually, let me amend that - I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Dunham/Soetoro divorce might not have been finalized until about 1988, so it's possible that they were merely "separated" at that point.

Pinging.

Best hope from this is, he’s ineligible, but that it isn’t finally admitted until after he is nominated in Denver. Then it becomes a political disaster on a par with the Eagleton debacle in 1972 — McGovern was behind him “1000 per cent” and then, so long, shorty. Hillary as the ad hoc nominee under those circumstances — particularly if she makes a floor fight at the convention — would be one thing from which her candidacy could not recover.

Thanks for both.

Under this theory, it would also be the reason that Obama is vacationing in Hawaii at the moment - as a cover story for going to Grandma Dunham and telling her to keep her mouth shut about everything she knows until the election & the inauguration are over, and to try to destroy as much evidence & contact as many old friends of the family as possible and get them to go into hiding like Grandma Dunham.

I guess I should note that Barack Jr's visit to Grandma Dunham on this current Hawaiian "vacation" has been documented by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin:

Strong women led Obama

At his homecoming rally Friday, Barack Obama paid tribute to his late mother, a single mom who sacrificed to ensure he received the best education. His next stop was to visit his 85-year-old grandmother...

[moonpie57]

Remember back in March when those folks were caught accessing Obama’s passport records? Reckon they found something?

[RetSignman]

If I were McCain, Republican Party and Conservative internet websites, I would start documenting any and all references to blurbs made by the clinton’s machine remarks concerning obama’s ‘eligibility’ to be president.

When this comes out, and it will, the clinton’s and America’s ‘Pravda’ will be pointing fingers directly at all Republican’s, Conservatives and right wing websites.
