[Maraniis] fails to mention that in Obama's immigration documents, he misidentifies his presumed child as "Barack Obama 2nd" and gives his address as "c/o Univ of Hawaii." Obviously a very caring father!
Actually, if one examines the writing on this form it is clear that Obama Sr. did not write in the name of any child.
There are two handwritings on the form. There is a faded handwriting, which is no doubt Obama Sr.'s.
In the faded handwriting, Obama Sr. writes that he is married, and that his wife's name is Ann Obama. He then writes "Honolulu, Hawaii" in the next line which he may be using to write the address of his wife, which the form asks for but he did not write in in the box above it.
On top of that, there is a darker, sharper handwriting. It is in this other handwriting that "USC" and "Legal Separation 2 mos ago" is written and "Has one?" under social security no. Obviously, Obama Sr. would not write "Has one?" in this box. Also, he would not have used the initials "USC" which is INS abbreviation/jargon for U.S. citizen. The person who wrote the later handwriting tends to use a mix of upper and lower case, like using a lower case "e" in a word containing upper case letters, whereas Obama Sr. uses completely upper case letters.
It appears to me that the words "Barack Obama 2d 2 yr USC" are written in the other darker, sharper handwriting.
This is probably someone at the INS filling in further information on the form not originally supplied by Obama.
I should add that Obama Sr. not originally writing in little Barry as his son on the written form is consistent with the approach he took on his August 31, 1961 immigration form.
There, he left blank the space for name and address of children.
It strikes me that Obama Sr. was always careful not to admit in any legal document that little Barry was his child.
In the August 1961 document, he did not name little Barry as his child, but the INS was aware of little Barry as is clear from a contemporaneous memo to file.
And again with this document, he did not name little Barry as his child but someone from the INS was aware and filled in the information along with other comments like “USC” and “Has one?”.
My take is that Obama Sr found out about Stanley Ann’s relationship with Frank Marshall Davis and after that doubted that little Barry was really his son, and therefore was careful to admit that fact in any legal document. And after becoming doubtful that little Barry was really his son, he lost any use for Stanley Ann and tried to ignore her as much as possible after that.
