For this whole born-in Kenya thing to work, here's how it would have had to come together:
Against all sense, Obama's 9-month pregnant, teenage mother flew halfway around the world to Kenya (a very difficult flight even today, never mind 1961) for some inexplicable reason. Then, a couple of days after the birth, she flew all the way back again, with a newborn, and they came back quickly enough that none of her friends figured out that Barrack was born in Kenya (ask any mother how likely she would have been to take such a trip a couple of days after giving birth). At the same time, her mother ran a birth announcement in the local papers because, with a daughter halfway around the world with a newborn, this was somehow on her priorities list.
His mother was able to bring the kid back into the US with no passport or any other identification for him and subsequently obtain a Hawaii birth certificate, somehow.
Then, for the next 40+ years, everyone with knowledge of this caper kept their mouths shut on the off chance that Barrack might some day run for President.
Does this story really sound within the realm of possibility to anyone?
He has a Hawaiian Birth Certificate? WOW. That is breaking news. Can you give us a link and tell Phillip Berg so he will call off his lawsuit?
Yup. It does strain commonsense. But straining commonsense is the stock and trade of types like Berg, a 9-11 truther who charges that Bush and Cheney are responsible for those murdered on 9-11.
