He knew what ever the truth was when "he" wrote his books. He wouldn't have had to "make up" a story about his father if his father was someone else, just told the truth. Who would have cared?
“Oh please...”
I sense we are on the same page. With the 1) and 2) I was simply trying to eliminate a few of the likely 1961 possiblities.
Your post makes me wonder what the dates of his books are, the date of the 1990’s tape wherein he states he was trying to figure out who his father was and the date he decided to run for president.
O acts as though he has a substantial reason for not disclosing his birth documents and he is in essence playing a shell game with our nation. When one has a problem but doesn’t have the facts, it is appropriate to speculate.
So, think outside the box with me. If O was born in Kenya, he is astute enough to realize he is short one US citizen parent in order to qualify for the presidency.
Now lets consider whether, after he decided to run for president, there was a Sandy Burglar-type operation in Hawaii. Could it be Gov Lingo sealed the records based on evidence of prior tampering?
