And he was known as Barry when he was a little boy.
I think I saw a high school yearbook photo which identified him as “Barry Obama”.
I think this could be part of his birth certificate mystery, that his name is something other than Barack Obama on the birth certificate.
Why did he go all through high school known as Barry? Why do school records from Indonesia list him as “Barry Soetoro”(sp?) and not Obama? Is the name on his birth certificate Barry Dunham, using his mom’s last name?
He probably adopted the name of “Barack Obama” in homage to his African roots. But since records are sealed at his order, we may never know for sure.
My husband and I disagree on this issue - he still thinks Barry was born outside of the US, but my money is on him using the Indonesian connection to get foreign aid for College. I think he lied and claimed to be from Indonesia and he doesn’t want that info to get out. Possibly even used the legal adoption by Soetoro as proof of his indonesian citizenship.
