My theory is that he WAS born in Hawaii, and his citizenship isn’t in question.

I do think it possible that some other black man was the father, whether it was Frank Marshall Davis or someone else.
An illegitimate birth was still a major social stigma in 1961. I believe that the Dunhams PAID Obama Sr. to marry their daughter, in part because an African was a bit more acceptable than someone from the ghetto. (This is what I think THEY were thinking, not my personal belief.)

Stanley Dunham probably goofed up when listing the name, either being confused and scared or maybe not realizing that whatever she said to the nurse would be entered on the official birth certificate. No one probably noticed or cared until Obama ran for president.

And if his original BC had someone else’s name on it, he would have known because of having to get it for selective service registration, entrance into law school, etc.

And if he knew that Obama wasn’t his real father, then those two books he wrote and his whole narrative as a “builder of bridges” was a big fat lie. Very embarassing for someone running for president.

That’s why I think they have an embargo on the original BC. I also think it’s why he doesn’t do anything for any of the African side of the family...he knows they are really no blood relation.

I doubt there was much, if any, of a ghetto in Hawaii in '61, at least not one with blacks in it. Chinese maybe. Remember while it wasn't quite true, BHO Sr was said to be the first black graduate of U. Hawaii. (The real first one was woman, and it was before BHO Sr was born). There just weren't many of African descent in the Islands in '61. Of course there were probably quite a few in Seattle. There were also plenty of dark skinned native Hawaiians in Hawaii, more so in '61 than today. One of those could have been the babydaddy I suppose.
