I cannot stand 0bama. Having said that I have this question. If 0bama was born in Kenya, why would his family place the birth announcement in the Honolulu newspaper? Did they know the baby would grow up and win the presidential election AND face constitutional challenges?
Quite possibly because they wanted people other than the immediate family to know they had a new grandson.
Gee, I think maybe they perceived some advantages of being an American Citizen. If those are the only two you can think of, you are not being honest.
I like the way people use absurdity to try to prove things that have at least a plausible possibility are crazy.
The problem is that it only appeals to the true believers who will not look at any argument contradicting their pre-conceived notions or desires.
Because there is 1000% greater advantage to having US citizenship than Kenyan, why do you even ask such a silly question?
The Dunhams engineered this.

If the Honolulu birth announcement was not the result of a practice of the hospital notifying the papers (and would that not make it likely that the hospital would be identified in such announcement?), then the answer to your question is painfully obvious and answered with another question.
If your mother gave birth to you while on vacation in Europe, would your family send an announcement of your birth to the paper in the town where you were born, but where nobody knows you or cares, or would they send one to the hometown paper, read by close family and friends?
The notion that if Obama wasn’t born in Honolulu, therefore the appearance of the announcement was part of some conspiratorial and prescient plan to run him for president someday is a straw man argument (unfortunately, John Gibson is one who embraces it).
Are you saying that every person who places a birth announcement in their or their parents' hometown newspaper even though the baby wasn't born there, has presidential ambitions for the baby?
There are reasons they might do it, if only so they could put something in a scrapbook.
But apparently Granny Dunham wasn’t a scrapbooker, because those birth announcements were forged. Hopefully I’ll be able to do a large post about it soon, but I can say that a supposed large “scratch” on the online Star-Bulletin images don’t appear in the microfilms now, so we know the images that were posted can’t be from the microfilms that are there now. Conversely, the Advertiser image is nearly pristine even though the Hawaii State Librarian has been recommending (rightly) that people look for copies from somewhere else because their microfilms are almost unreadable because of scratch lines. So the pristine online Advertiser images didn’t come from the HSL microfilms as claimed either.
And in several libraries we were able to copies from the microfilms on 2 different dates, and even between the times we checked, the microfilms were changed out because “scratches” that were in the earlier copies are gone in the later copies. There are a bunch of similar anomalies.
So suffice it to say that the microfilms that are in the libraries now show that there has been monkey business with the microfilms and what has been posted online did not come from the actual microfilms in the libraries.
No, it was simply planted evidence to facilitate getting him a Hawaiin birth certificate so that he could be an American citizen.
