According to a friend (A Black Minister from Chicago to be exact) that this was the case. He did have a problem with the whole Black enough question.
7% lower numbers and Barry would have lost. He only won by what 4%?
50% Caucasian, 50% African, 0% American.
A good theory. I have speculated a different ‘embarrassing’ reason Obama would want to keep the details of his birth a secret. The whole timeline just points to concealing Stanley Ann during her pregnancy. There’s no record of her whereabouts from January 61 until August 61—when she would have been showing. That’s what began to make me wonder about his actual parentage. I mean, he could be an illegitimate child from an affair Stanley had with some woman of color. It seems so odd to me that Stanley Ann was so willing to leave the baby (and her alleged husband) in Hawaii 3 weeks after he was born to head back up to Washington to school. It also explains the lack of a marriage record, because they were never really married—it was only a cover story—maybe they paid BHO Sr to go along. It would explain the ‘fake’ Hawaii address for the newspaper announcement because that could have been faked by Grandma Toot. It would explain why Grandma and Grandpa ‘raised’ him, except for the four years in Indonesia with his ‘sister (?)’ It would explain why Obama Sr. never had any interest in BHO—because he wasn’t really his. That would explain the physical similarities to Stanley. It would explain why Obama doesn’t want to release the original birth records because it would show adoption records, name changes, etc. Perhaps this whole thing was concocted to cover up an affair Stanley Dunham had where he impregnated some young black girl. It would explain why, as a teenager, after he found his birth certificate, he went began to rebel, do drugs, etc. It would explain why he was so interested in getting Grandma Toot’s ashes tossed into the sea (now, no one could verify he had no DNA connection to her) and would also explain the photos on the internet of Michelle leaping into Obama’s arms with joy after the scattering of the ashes ceremony in Hawaii. Don’t you think this storyline would explain Obama’s secrecy, outside of a “born in Africa” scenario?
Flame away...
How so? I was given to understand that Barak Hussein Obama the first was largely of Arab decent. I certainly don’t want to promote a theory that is incorrect because of the foundation of its premises... Not sure that it makes that much of a difference. The reality was, he had a real issue with the Black community that was asking if he was black enough.
Birth Certificate and Certificate of Live Birth. While I agree on the use of acronyms, I just have to ask. You new to this issue?
“You don’t get to the position of VP of Hawaii’s largest bank and NOT be connected. In Hawaii connections are everything.”
My experience with banks (I've owned my own businesses for nearly 25 years, and as a result have dealth with many different banks on a business level for decades) suggests that at most banks the title of “vice president” is typically given to the managers of most branches. Thus, it's a front-line or mid-level supervisory position, not a senior executive position.
Ms. Dunham’s wikipedia entry has the position merely as “vice president” with no indication that she was more than, say, a branch manager.
That's not to say that she had an unimportant job. A branch manager of any significant business is a pretty good job.
But from what I've been able to see, she wasn't something like a senior executive vice president with her own key to the executive bathroom.
If you have evidence to the contrary, I'd appreciate seeing it.
Thanks,

I’m curious about Obama being part Arab. It stands to reason given the intermixing that happened during the slave trade. Not sure about Obama’s tribe. Anyone know the facts?
Now that is an interesting theory. I thought it (the long form BC) might show that his father wasn’t who we were told but maybe Frank Marshall or Malcolm X or whoever but your theory is pretty interesting.
Remember also....Obama ran against Bobby Rush (Black Panther) for Congress and lost. He probably lost that race because...you guessed it...he wasn’t black enough. So it’s not like he hasn’t had experience with this sort of thing.
“there is a mountain of information on his past life that is being purposefully kept under wraps. Being done for a reason.”
Bingo.
Barack Obama Sr is obviously African. Some people believe he is an Arab because he is Muslim but that is simply not true.
All of his sealed records simply keep this birth certificate story alive. Really, we know NOTHING about this person in comparison with virtually everyone else who has ever run for President. The secrecy makes it very easy to believe there is something to hide. In fact, to believe otherwise would defy logic.
Maybe. I can’t say either way. All I know is that the simplest answer is usually the correct one, Occam’s razor and what not. But even saying that, your theory could be close to the truth.
That's true.
I could imagine the imperious BHO, Sr., standing over the clerk and insisting that he is an African VIP from Kenya, not a Negro, like the descendants of those slaves his ancestors rounded up and sold to the Dutch slave traders.
“Complete BS. He has no Arab blood.”
Ummmm... Where have you been hiding? Yeah, 44% Arab unless Obama Sr. was not his real father! So, I guess maybe we don’t know, but Obama Sr. surely was mostly Arab.
I believe she worked in the Main Branch in Honolulu, I remember reading that somewhere, and I remember seeing something to that effect at her Hawaiian wake that was given before Obama got there for the funeral.
I am going from memory on this I fully admit. If this indeed correct, the information is on the net someplace.
Darn right. Don't you remember the song parody, "Barack, the Magic Negro"? It featured Paul Shanklin doing an Al Sharpton imitation—fulminating that Obama wasn't "black authentically like me." It echoed comments on the public record by the real Sharpton.
Maybe it wasn’t the blacks that needed convincing.
Maybe it was the guild laden whites...
I don’t know about this particular theory, but I would like to see more speculation on what he could be hiding other than his place of birth.
I have not been following this closely, so I could well have my facts wrong and feel free to correct me.
There were birth announcements in the two local newspapers saying he was born, so I think he likely was born in Hawaii. But the address given in the papers is wrong, the neighbors say there was no such family next door at the time. I don’t know what to make of that but it’s really odd.
It’s especially odd that he doesn’t release his birth certificate.. So he’s hiding something, maybe not where he was born. What else could it be?
