Also remember that the divorce papers were sent to Barak Sr in Massachusetts -- during summer break IIRC. Barak Sr. never signed the papers nor returned them; so after a few weeks, the Hawaii judge took that as consent to the divorce.

There's no evidence Barak Sr really knew anything about the divorce, or the alleged wedding (no license, no witnesses, called a "mystery" in DREAMS), or even the child; until 1971 when he returned to Hawaii.

So why did he pose with Barack Jr. in the picture? If I’d been defrauded in that way, I wouldn’t want anything to do with the defrauder.
