No marriage cert, but there is a divorce decree. Why would Ann have bothered with a divorce if they had not married in some fashion?
That's a good question. I've thought for a while that the divorce was meant to establish a marriage, for whatever reason (and no, I don't believe they were planning on him being POTUS back then).
When David Mendell interviewed Madelyn back in 2004, he posed the question of whether Ann and BO, Sr. were actually married, which indicates to me that the media knew at least that long ago that there was no record. He noted that Madelyn was fierce in her insistence that they were married; it was obviously very important to her.
If you look at the two divorce petitions filed by Dunham's attorney, the Obama petition (Page 2) is very specific about the marriage:
"That libellant and libellee were lawfully married in Wailuku, Maui, State of Hawaii, on February 2, 1961, by a person duly authorized to perform marriage ceremonies and ever since that date have been and are now husband and wife."
The Soetoro complaint (Page 1) simply states:
"2. The parties are lawfully married to each other."
Quite a difference. Was her attorney simply being overly-diligent on the first petition, or was establishing a specific date and place of the "marriage" the whole point of the "divorce?"
