I’ve never seen divorce or marriage documents. A link would be helpful.

From Time. You'll notice that Time mag does not tell who inspected the divorce record and they do not mention any marriage certificate/license.

"On Feb. 2, 1961, several months after they met, Obama's parents got married in Maui, according to divorce records. It was a Thursday. At that point, Ann was three months pregnant with Barack Obama II. Friends did not learn of the wedding until afterward. "Nobody was invited," says Abercrombie. The motivations behind the marriage remain a mystery, even to Obama. "I never probed my mother about the details. Did they decide to get married because she was already pregnant? Or did he propose to her in the traditional, formal way?" Obama wonders. "I suppose, had she not passed away, I would have asked more.""

-snip-

..."Ann filed for divorce in Honolulu in January 1964, citing "grievous mental suffering"—the reason given in most divorces at the time. Obama Sr. signed for the papers in Cambridge, Mass., and did not contest the divorce."

Haven’t seen them. As I said, it was reports, but the documentation would be interesting.

Bambi writes in his book that the details of the marriage are “murky” and that he never had the “courage” to track them down. I took that to mean there was nothing murky and he didnt have the courage to admit what he knew.

I’ll believe the parents were legally married when I see the documents, not when TIME magazine or some other member of the treason media tells me they were.

I am still bothered by the blacking out of the cert number. This full-of-himself blogger owes us an an explanation as to why someone would do this given that it would invalidate a document were it actually legit.
