I have read the article in “The Honolulu Advertiser” and may I take this time to point out the inconsistencies of their narrative. First off they provide a scan of the page in which the birth announcement appears and then incorrectly state it was the August 17th 1961 edition when it actually appeared in the Sunday, August 13th, 1961 edition. Taking the address at face value they failed to read Jr’s own words which appear in “Dreams of My Father” which appear on page 39 during his father’s 1971 visit to Oahu. Quoting directly “...we went on short walks past the private landmarks of a family...including my grandparents’ first house in Hawaii, before the one on University Ave., a house I had never known.” The house on Kalanianaole Hwy is 7 miles from the apartment on Beretania St. and with a father using a cane recuperating from a car accident in which he had injured his leg it would be impossible to walk 14 miles to view a house which “The Honolulu Advertiser” claims was the first home which the Dunhams lived in when they moved to Oahu! The house Jr is referring to in “Dreams of My Father” would be the house at 2277 Kamehameha Ave. which is within a mile of the University and within walking distance of the apartment on Beretania St. Also the address at Kalanianaole Hwy would contradict Rep. Neil Abercrombie as well who has often mentioned that he lives near where the Dunhams lived on Beretania St and would often see Stanley with Barry while Barry was growing up. “The Honolulu Advertiser” failed to do their basic research about the address which appeared in the birth announcement, simply running with the story. “The Honolulu Advertiser” also tries to say that Ann and Jr spent their entire time in Hawaii until Ann’s marriage to Lolo and the move to Indonesia, completely ignoring the time Ann and Jr spent in WA state from August 1961 until sometime in 1963. See the following link:

Not forgetting that we already know that Ann attended University of Washington for the three semesters beginning in August 1961.
IMO “The Honolulu Advertiser” has simply run with a story for which they did no research especially when they state that the Dunham family lived in the home on Kalanianaole Hwy(going from the address on a birth announcement), completely disregarding Jr’s own words about the first home the family lived in when they moved to Hawaii being within walking distance of Beretania St.! They also disregard the words of Rep Neil Abercrombie who has testified that he often saw Stanley and little Barry going for walks etc. They can’t have it both ways and neither can Obama!
Good, good, good. Just keep chasing down all those details. Pretty soon you will be able to prove to the American public that Obama is not really the President - elect. The Supreme Court justices will leap to their feet declare Obama to be null and void and John McCain will be proclaimed President by default. I think that’s somewhere in the Advertiser story...or maybe on the faith and reason website ... or maybe it is on pg 39 of “Dreams from My Father”.
Or maybe you can click your heels together three times and you will be back in Kansas....
...or maybe you can demonstrate that steel does not melt at the combustion temperature of kerosene, thus proving that George Bush, Dick Cheney and the Joooos crawled thru the ductwork of the WTC to set the charges....
Here’s something else you should read....

Chief Engineer, have you found any more info. re. the address listed in the Honolulu Advertiser as Mr. and Mrs. Obama’s address at the time of Barack’s birth? The listing of O’s birth in vital statistics in a local paper at the time helps affirm the claim of birth in Hawaii However, I wondered the same thing about the address. Why would this be listed as his parents’ address if Mr. Obama or the Dunham’s didn’t live there?
Do you have links that affirm where the Dunhams lived in August, 61? Is there a possibility the address listed in Hon. Adv. was one of a friend of Ann Dunham or Barack Obama Sr.?
