I can picture a scenario where he was in fact born in Hawaii and his BC says that Barack Obama, Sr., is his father (whether or not he was the actual sperm donor)...but there is other information on the document that he wants to keep the public away from. Would there be a notation of being adopted by Soetoro or of obtaining foreign citizenship?
Maybe the real Barry ObaMA’s identity was stollen and Barry Obama is someone else.
If a BC was filled out at the time of his birth, that would have been well before any adoption. But it’s been often said that during those days of early statehood that people could obtain documents much later than normal.
Still, any reasonable person with nothing to hide would have produced their orginal BC back when the issue was first raised (as McCain did). I’ve always thought Obama has something to hide, but who knows if it’d have been disqualifying, or merely embarrassing and damaging to his political ambitions.
