The U.S. government is on record questioning President Obama's citizenship status as early as when he was 5 years old, stating it lacked documentation to determine his citizenship, WND has learned.
The citizenship inquiry dated back to 1966, when Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was attempting to secure a waiver so her second husband, Indonesian citizen Lolo Soetoro, could return to the country after his visa had expired.
Dunham separated from her first husband, Barack Obama Sr., in 1963 when the future president was 2 years old. Dunham and Obama Sr. are reported to have divorced in 1964.
In 1965 in Hawaii, Dunham married Soetoro, an Indonesian, and moved to Indonesia in October 1967.
Soetoro had been studying at the University of Hawaii as part of a State Department-initiated student exchange program.
Soetoro's student visa had been sponsored by the University of Hawaii's Center for Cultural and Technical Interchange between East and West. The program enforced strict visa limitations, requiring foreign students to return to their home counties after two years.
According to U.S. immigration files obtained and reviewed by WND, Soetoro was approved for a 21-month study grant beginning Sept. 1, 1962, at the East-West Center.
A memorandum from the center dated July 7, 1965, relates how Soetoro had his Class J visa briefly extended after he married Dunham due to a claimed illness on the part of Dunham. His visa had been set to expire June 15, 1964.
"He gave his wife's illness as the reason for his visa extension request," stated the center's memo.
The memo said Soetoro claimed Dunham had been "suffering from a stomach ailment which may, according to her physician, require surgery."

Bombshell: U.S. government questioned Obama citizenship Said it lacked documents to determine birth country
“The person in question is a United States citizen by virtue of his birth in Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug. 4, 1961. “
There’s your Bombshell.
Standby, standby....scanning neglected Obamabutt document....
Photoshopping.....altering...altering......layering....layering....
Now...all gone.
What was your problem?
Do you have an example of a financial aid program that provides aid to foreign students ? It’s far easier to get aid as a US citizen.
Sadly far too many looked the the way when it came to the validity of Obama's citizenship. The gov't dropped the ball long ago, followed by the media during the last election. Instead of making sure our Constitution was being honored, they became obsessed with the tail-end of the Republican ticket in 2008. For a man with so much to defend....his birthplace, experience, radical associates/beliefs...Obama sure did get a free pass to the White House. Just scary.
I’m convinced of two things:
He WAS born in Kenya, there is an active coverup going on, and he is not a “Natural Born Citizen”
Whether or not he could have in his youth been considered a “citizen”, his status was REVOKED when he went to Indonesia, and he may or may not have taken legal action to get it reinstated, either way, once again he IS NOT a “Natural Born Citizen”.
as bombshells go, this one’s kind of a dud
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Ping!
There, fixed.
No rational reading of the exchange in this article supports the proposition that Obama was not born in the U.S.
Well, I guess you’re unaware of the fact that in 1961 there *was* no August! That month did not exist until 1963!
</sarcasm>
(Osama bin Laden was so last week...)

Does this coverup go all the way back to 1965, when (according to the WND article) the central immigration office stated that "[Obama] is a United States citizen by virtue of his birth in Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug. 4, 1961"?
Whether or not he could have in his youth been considered a “citizen”, his status was REVOKED when he went to Indonesia, and he may or may not have taken legal action to get it reinstated, either way, once again he IS NOT a “Natural Born Citizen”.
A United States citizen does not lose their citizenship by obtaining citizenship in another country unless they:
1) do so with the intent of giving up U.S. citizenship, AND
2) are above the age of 18.
Obama, by all accounts, was below the age of 18 when he went to Indonesia. How, under U.S. law, did Obama lose his citizenship by moving to Indonesia as a child?
