If Mr. Obama was adopted by his mother’s second husband, an Indonesian, then shouldn’t his name still be Soetero(sp?)?
How can he go by Barack H. Obama unless he had a legal name change, or was the Indonesian adoption not recognized by the US?
Can someone clear this up for me?
We wish we could. That very question has been asked a number of times over the months and I think it is a part of some of the lawsuits. The answer is, yes, probably so. But no “due diligence” is allowed of His Obama-ness. We are to trust in Obama, pure simple trust is all the verification “Us Magazine” level politics and milquetoastian hectoring allows. No Reaganesque “Trust, but Verfiy”. All just “TRUST IN HIM, THE OBAMA”.

Yes, Barry Obama can clear it up for you. Please ask him, and then let us know his answer.
Some evidence that he was adopted by Soetoro. His school records from Indonesia & his mother’s divorce papers from Soetoro show that they had 2 children. His BC should read Soetoro unless he had a copy of it from before he was adopted but the copy that was shown on his site was from 2006(?). Once you are adopted your original BC is sealed by the court & placed in a vault not even the adopted child or parents have access to it without a court order. Obama could have legally changed his name but his BC would always have his adopted name on it unless he was adopted again as a child. I have not seen any adoption papers from the U.S. but the divorce papers are from Hawaii so if he wasn’t adopted why bother claiming 2 children in the divorce docs. “That One” is a mystery man!
