The fact that neither hospital will officially claim him is bizarre. It’s no violation of privacy to acknowledge a public person’s birth. Especially since he’s claimed both hospitals.

At least back in August, 2004 Obama claimed only one hospital LoL. The FReeper JustPiper in 2004 cites Wiki in her post.

* Here's from wikipedia on Obama, but there's more at the link:

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

Early life

Barack Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. His parents were economist Barack Obama, Sr., of Kenya and S. Ann Dunham, a Honolulu resident who was born in Kansas. At the time of Obama's birth, both his parents were students at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

When Obama was two years old, the couple was divorced and Ann Obama then married another East-West Center student from Indonesia. The family then moved to Jakarta, where Obama's half-sister Maya was born (another half-sister, the daughter of Obama's father by a later marriage, lives in Nairobi). When Obama was ten, he returned to Hawaii under the care of his grandmother Madelyn Dunham. He was enrolled in the fifth grade at Punahou School, a prestigious academy that once taught the Hawaiian royal family. There he graduated with honors.

Obama reflected on his years in Hawaii and wrote, "The irony is that my decision to work in politics, and to pursue such a career in a big Mainland city, in some sense grows out of my Hawaiian upbringing, and the ideal that Hawaii still represents in my mind." ______

That is a double bucket barfer, especially the quote at the end. First time I’ve heard he graduated Punahou with honors. Where’d that come from? I thought he spent his time drinking, toking, and doing ‘blow, when we could get it’.

The link you gave was priceless. Even in 2004, FReepers knew the dangers that involved BO. Interesting in reading through the posts the OBOTS that showed up defending their guy as though they knew he was one day going to be POTUS.

I should’ve know that FReepers would be on his case before anyone else even KNEW there would one day be a case. We still have the same questions in 2011 that existed in 2004.

I'm sure this is a typo, but still strange.

Barack Obama: A Look at the 2004 DNC Keynote Speaker Who Could Become One of the Only Black Senators in U.S. History

Barack Obama's father was from Kenya. He met Obama's mother, who was white, when both were students at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was 2 years old, his father left the family and returned to Kenya, where he eventually became a senior economist in the Ministry of Finance.

Obama was raised mostly in Kansas, by his mother and grandparents. He graduated from Columbia University and received his law degree from Harvard Law School. He became the first black president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review and later worked as a civil rights lawyer and as a community organizer in New York and Chicago. He currently teaches law at the University of Chicago and has served in the state Senate since 1997.
