I believe Obama was born in Hawaii. I firmly believe the notion that his teenage mother took a very expensive and arduous journey by herself to a third-world country specifically to have a baby is ridiculous.
But I now think that Obama might've been playing the "Yeah, I was born in Kenya" card in his early adulthood (or, at the very least, not correcting those who referred to him as Kenyan-born) simply because with the image he was trying to project, it was cooler to have been born in post-colonial Kenya than vacation-paradise Hawaii.
Yes, I now believe Obama lied about where he was born. I believe he was telling people he was born in Kenya (or at least allowing them to believe this) and this was the lie.
How about a trip to northwest Washington to live with her Aunt Eleanor Birkebeile during her pregnancy? In 1961, it was common place for girls with embarrassing pregnancies to be sent off to live with relatives to have their baby. Judging by the fact that Madelyn Dunham's co-workers didn't even know she had a grandson, I would say Madelyn Dunham was a little bit ashamed of the fact that her daughter was going to have a black baby.
Aunt Eleanor Was living in Canada in 1959 (She had two young sons that died there, and they are buried in Canada.) but she later moved to Northwest Washington State, and lived in the town of Blaine which is right on the Canadian border and shares it's Northermost road with the Canadian town of White Rock.
White Rock had a hospital, but Blaine did not.
That Stanley Ann could show up at her friend's house (Susan Blake) two weeks after Barry was born, implies that she was in the area all along. If Barry ended up being born in Canada, it would explain all the efforts which have gone in to avoiding the release of his actual birth document. I think all Hawaii has is an Affidavit of at home birth which they used to create a Certification of birth. It is not the same thing as proof that he was actually born in Hawaii, and if they released it, it just wouldn't fly.
