I would love to see the birth certificate. I think it has something on it that would be quite embarassing for him (like another man’s name under “Father”).

But I can’t buy the theory that he was born in Kenya and they faked his birth announcements in Hawaii.

This is false thinking. There is no need to believe that the announcements were "faked". The announcements in the paper merely state that a boy was born to a set of parents. There is no need to fake anything. If the grandparents want to ensure that Barry has full citizenship privileges without any undue hassle, they simply report the birth after the fact in accordance with Hawaii law, then the paper picks it up on its routine scan and prints the announcement. No conspiracy necessary, other than the grandparents wanted their grandchild to have American citizenship.

Although it doesn't matter if he was born in Kenya, or Timbuktu, there would be no need to "fake" the birth announcement. Those are generated automatically from a list put out by the state, when the birth cerficates are filed. However, one need not be born in a Hospital to have a birth certificate filed. A "home birth" can be filed, same form, with no doctor's signature, no hospital registrar's either. Just some "witness" and someone, usually a parent, to provide the information. The information could have been provided by telegram, or transoceanic phone call, from Kenya, Canada, or anywhere else. Then the mother's signature could be faked, and the "witness" would sign and submit the form in Hawaii.

There is no evidence to support that notion other than a questionable Kenyan BC, but other than a photoshopped image of a purported COLB, there is no evidence of birth in Hawaii either. There are conflicting accounts of what hospital he was born in and there are also news stories from 2004 when he was elected Senator, indicating birth in Kenya. So the evidence is mixed, either way. (I personally suspect he wasn't born in Kenya, or Hawaii, since I find his mother showing up in Seattle so soon after his birth, when she could have re-enrolled in Uof Hawaii rather than U of Washington, and only to return to Hawaii as soon as BHO Sr left. Very suspicious timing that was.
