“I’ll tell you one thing - it wasn’t on Kalanianeole Highway. If anything, she lived with her parents on Kamehameha Avenue in lower Manoa Valley.
Personally, I am quite certain that Stanley Ann Dunham wasn’t even in Honolulu in the Summer of 1961. Certainly by late summer of 1961, she was in the Seattle area, arriving there who who knows where with infant in tow. From Kenya?”

Considering that, and post 3 above related to the birth announcement and this caption underneath the image of the 6085 Kalaniana’ole Highway home cited in the birth announcement from the Honolulu Advertiser (look at the first house picture and caption on the right):

“The cottage behind the house at 6085 Kalaniana’ole Highway may have been Obama’s parents’ rooms when they lived with the Dunhams.”
I’d say that there are some pretty gaping holes in this story. Did they live in this house, or in the cottage behind the house? Did they live there are all? Did the Dunhams live there, and if they did, were they the ones that were the source of the birth announcement, and why?
I’ll tell you why. It wasn’t because they thought Barack would someday be POTUS...it was because they wanted their daughter’s son, their grandson, however illegit or whatever the case was, to have the benefits of US citizenship and thought they could get away with that...
Now fast forward to the controversy today.
I agree with most of your post, but I flat-out do not believe that the Dunhams EVER lived in that House on Kalanianaole Highway. I know that the Dunhams lived on Kamehameha Street in 1961 because they lived only a few houses away from where I lived in the early 1960’s. However, I do not remember their daughter. I do not think she was around much.
I believe that the birth announcement was placed in the newspaper by Madeline Dunham, and I believe that the birth certificate was issued based on her representations to the health authorities, as could be done in 1961, just to make sure that the grandson would not be deprived of his US citizenship. They were gaming the system, but they were not doing so in the expectation that he would need the citizenship in order to become President someday.
Indeed, it is my view that Obama is ineligible regardless of the location of his birth since his father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth, nor was he even a permanent resident.
