World Net Daily has covered the house issue extensively.
WND published records that confirm Obama’s maternal grandparents rented, and lived in, the small guest house behind the larger main house.
It is not known if Obama’s teenage mother, Ann Dunham, lived there, too, but there is no evidence she lived someplace else.
WND also published records that show that Obama’s father rented and lived in his own apartment near the University of Hawaii, where he was a student.
Obama’s father was renting that apartment when Obama was born.
And, Obama’s father continued to live in that apartment after Ann Dunham took baby Obama to Seattle 15 days after his birth.
And to all...
Re: The Birth Announcements
No mystery here - both newspaper announcements were generated by a standard public document release issued by the Department of Health.
All it means is that someone filed a birth certificate at the Hawaii DOH for Barack Obama in that time period.
In 1961, 40% of Hawaiian births were “Home Births,” primarily from indigenous Hawaiian families.
In 1961, a parent or a family relative who had witnessed a “Home Birth” was allowed to file a birth certificate at the Hawaii DOH.
In 1961, the evidence suggests that very few “Home Births” were challenged or vigorously investigated by the Hawaii DOH.
If Obama was a “Home Birth,” that fact, plus the name of the “Birth Witness,” would be recorded on Obama’s “Long Form Birth Certificate,” which he has refused to release.
The Hawaii “Short Form Birth Certificate,” which Obama has released, does not show the place of birth or name the birth witness.
The actual numbers on unattended births don’t support the 40% figure, according to the CDC’s Vital Statistics Report for 1961.
I’ve asked others and have received some thoughtful responses, but what would you expect to see in the newspapers if there was a master list of births which the state registrar gave to the newspapers? Would you expect to see what is in the Aug 13th Advertiser and the Aug 14th Star-Bulletin: nearly identical lists of names and addresses on the same day or adjacent days?
