BO was a bastard, in the legal sense.
Little commie mommy was a promiscuous young thing and BO, with an ego the size of Indonesia, couldn’t staten to be called a bastard, ergo, the forged birth certificate.
Back in the early 1960’s, a young white girl having a black baby would have been an outrage. No wonder little commie mommy took little bastard Barry to indonesia!!
(My belief, anyway)
Agreed. An already married father precludes a legitimate marriage to HIS mother. (And there is little evidence that there was one anyway.)

I think the forgery has more to do with his eligibility than his concern about being a bastard. He did say in his book that his parents marriage was surrounded by so much murk that he didn't have the courage to look at it. (or some such.) I suspect he knew all along his parents were not legally married.

In many states, it was a felony crime at the time! (Those laws were all overturned in 1965 I think.) I have pointed out that from news articles discussing Madelyn Dunham (the grandmother's) co-workers at the bank where she worked, that she seemed embarrassed about him. They claim that they did not even know she had a grandchild until he started running for President.
Why would a Grandmother not tell her co-workers that her daughter had just had her first grandchild? It was likely because she was embarrassed. Interracial pregnancy was taboo in 1961.
