Oh so now he was born to a single mother.... as if daddy wasn’t married to mommy... gotcha.
Sorry Barry, if Mom and dad were married you aren’t illegitimate.
You already admitted you were born under the jurisdiction of Great Britain.
The famous birther Michelle Obama told us that Obama’s mama was definitely single when “she had him” (which I think is birther slang for “gave birth to”). Of course, she is also the same birther who told us that Kenya is her husband’s home country. I think she knows what she’s talking about. The single SAD had him in Kenya.
Is this ‘official’ from Obama’s campaign, as the logo indicates? If so, there is the obvious red flag of admission that his original life narrative [married mother] was a lie. And now he was raised in Kansas?
The most intriguing: “My story is one told a million times over in this country from sea to shining sea. It is a dream shared by all who come to this country seeking opportunity and prosperity.”
Parsing: MY STORY...SHARED BY ALL WHO COME TO THIS COUNTRY SEEKING OPPORTUNITY...”
His ‘story’, supposedly, is the one he told in ‘Dreams From My Father’: born in Hawaii, yada, yada. Is one’s story not one’s experience? He’s now saying his story - his experience - was the same [shared experience] as all who come to this country [shared experience: immigration] seeking opportunity [shared experience: less opportunity in one’s own country].
IF this is genuinely from Obama’s campaign, it would seem he’s trying an end run to back away from his original story with “I’m a victim...I never knew...I was just an innocent chiiiiild...I’ve just found out mama wasn’t married, that non-citizen wasn’t really my father [but be assured the unknown SOMEONE who was, surely was U.S. born]...and that’s why I don’t have a real birth certificate. They MADE me do it, MADE me forge one...sniff, sniff, waaa, waaa...I’ve been here for 3 years, so that’s precedent...and it’s George Bush’s fault. Oh, yeah...and you’re racist.”
It must be fake - someone’s joke. His Oneness would never stoop so low as to toying with being honest - or semi-honest. The potential legal ramifications alone will be sufficient to keep him on his road of dedicated prevarication.
Below is what I posted last May including a comment I sent to Leo Donofrio that he refused to publish. My prediction that Obama could resort to calling himself a bastard to save himself on the NBC issure may be coming true, if this Facebook ad is true.

Whether Hawaii considered Senior and SADO to be married is immaterial to whether the UK would consider the Hawaii marriage to be bigamous and thus invoke the illegitimacy clause of the 1948 BNA.
For Barry to be a UK subject and dual-citizen would depend on how the UK would apply their own 1948 BNA law and the Kenya Colonial 1902 Marriage Act.
Here is a comment I posted to Leo (which he has refused to publish) beginning with the Factcheck.org statement:
“As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.”
Parsing this statement, I note the careful lawyerly reluctance to explicitly state that Obama II, like his father, was also a British subject at birth. The statement only says that the 1948 BNA “governed the status” of his father’s children in general. IOW, the statement invites the reader to conclude that BHO II was a dual citizen British subject at birth, but does not say so.
If the 1948 BNA “governs the status” of Obama Sr.’s children, then any exclusions in that act must be considered. As you recently blogged:
“The State Department Has “Always” Recognized And Abided By Foreign Laws Concerning US Citizens Born With Dual Nationality.”
Therefore we must not be squeamish in applying the 1948 BNA to Obama II.
The 1948 BNA says that the act does NOT apply to illegitimate children:
“(2) Subject to the provisions of section twenty-three of this Act, any reference in this Act to a child shall be construed as a reference to a legitimate child; and the expressions “father”, “ancestor” and “descended” shall be construed accordingly.”

My understanding is that a bigamous marriage is a nullity and the children of a bigamous marriage are illegitimate under the UK Legitimacy Act of 1926. BHO II himself has recognized his stepmother, Kezia, and her children as family and wrote in “Dreams” of his father’s shortcomings and doubts about the marital status of his parents.
In a Daily Mail story about Kezia, presumably based on information provided by her, BHO Sr is described as a “bigamist” and the presumably legal Kenyan tribal marriage between Obama Sr. and Kezia is described in some detail:
In applying the 1948 BNA to determine whether a marriage is bigamous, it seems that UK authorities would look to the 1902 Kenya Marriage Act (KMA). From what I have found so far (not a lawyer) the 1902 KMA appears to have still been in effect in 1961 in Kenya Colony.
Under the 1902 KMA, tribal marriages are legal and subsequent marriages are bigamous, including even marriages following Muslim marriage:
37. Marriages under native law or custom.
“Any person who is married under this Act, or whose marriage is declared by this Act to be valid, shall be incapable during the continuance of such marriage of contracting a valid marriage under any native law or custom, but, save as aforesaid, nothing in this Act contained shall affect the validity of any marriage contracted under or in accordance with any native law or custom, or in any manner apply to marriages so contracted.”
“49. Contracting marriage under this Act when already married by native law or custom.
Whoever contracts a marriage under this Act, being at the time married in accordance with native law or custom or in accordance with Mohammedan law to any person other than the person with whom such marriage is contracted, shall be guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.”
