The important thing about this small blurb on the National Review website is that this story is slowly working its way into the mainstream. Eventually it will become impossible for the “major media” to continue to ignore it.
I sense that this will pose major problems for Obama, if the story gets wider dissemination. Evenutally, with the fake certification of birth exposed, and with growing rumors that he just might have been born somewhere else other than Hawaii, Obama’s only recourse will be to permit examination of his _original_ birth certificate in Hawaii (or, the record of that on microfilm or microfiche). That is, if such a document exists.
If it gets that far, and if he cannot produce the original documentation - or if he refuses to permit such documentation to be examined - the “wild rumors” of such things as “a Kenyan birth” might prove to be a litttle less wild!
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a major change in “Obama’s story” if that happens....

Now you’re on to something...the real problem in all of this may not be that he wasn’t born here. It may be what else is on the birth certificate. It may have a place for Religion (some states did back then). If that slot says Muslim or Islamic as his proud father may have insisted upon, it might all be over with that revelation. Perhaps it lists he has more siblings when we thought he was a first born...that would require more explanations. Perhaps the certificate says he was white...the father was not present for the delivery and even black babies are born white so with a white mother, white grandparents on an all white and polynesian island, perhaps it says he was white.
In any case, these details cloud our enigma candidate even more and perhaps they believe, past the tipping point of credibility. Remember, when you are trying to be all things to all people, the truth has a way of outing and making you nothing to most everybody.
hmmmmm...I’m always good for a fun conspiracy theory.
Barack’s first book was only published in January, 2007, by which point he was certainly planning his run for President. Does anyone know if he explicitly states in that book that he was born in HI?
I haven’t read any of his books, but an Amazon reviewer wrote this:
The author met his father but once, when he was ten years old. Dr. Barack Obama was already married (p 422) when he met his namesake’s mother while studying in the States. He returned to Africa alone, married again (and again) and had more children.
Does it sound to you as though Obama’s parents were never married? Could there be something on the BC to that effect? I’d always heard that his parents were married.
