Based on all the research and analysis to date, here is what I believe today, not to be accepted as fact by anyone who wants to believe something else:
1. Barack Obama was likely born in Honolulu, the hospital still unknown for some reason (WHY won’t he say?), on Aug. 4, 1961. A birth announcement in the newspaper has been found by one of our researchers*. It looks like this:
Here’s the full-page wider angle:
2. Although this announcement suggests his parents were married, that’s still an open question. I still don’t know why Michelle Obama recently declared that Barack’s mother was “very single” when she had him.
3. Although it’s possible that a birth certificate filed by Barack’s grandparents (while he was born someplace else) led to this newspaper announcement, I personally think that’s unlikely.
4. His legal name at birth was Barack Hussein Obama II. He acquired dual citizenship (Kenyan and US) at birth.
5. His father didn’t stick around. On a related note, have you noticed that there are no photos of Obama as an infant?
6. His mother traveled from Honolulu to wherever-the-hell Barack Sr. was because she genuinely believed that they were going to live together as a family; she chased her dream. On her way there, she passed through Mercer Island.
7. But realizing that Barack Sr. had moved on, Stanley Ann Dunham enrolled at the Univ. of Washington for the 1962 Spring Quarter. That turned out to be overwhelming, and she eventually returned to Honolulu and re-enrolled at UH, where she met her second husband, an Indonesian national.
8. Ann’s mother acquired Indonesian citizenship when she married Soertoro.
9. Barack Obama acquired Indonesian citizenship, and possibly was adopted by Soertoro, maybe not.
10. Not only was Barack Obama officially an Indonesian citizen, he also was a registered “muslim.” Again, I don’t care whether he was or wasn’t, except that he professes that he’s “always been Christian,” which I believe to be a false statement.
11. Barack Obama’s original birth certificate likely contains something that embarrasses him, or something that could be problematic for him legally, such as an indication of dual nationality. I STILL think he needs to produce a hard copy of the original Birth Certificate, or he looks like he’s hiding something.
12. The COLB on Smears and Kos has been altered, but probably reflects Obama’s true birth certificate. The way the COLB was handled and its suspicious presentation was designed to serve as a diversion from the can of worms Obama doesn’t want anyone to open.
THAT can of worms is the eligibility problem a POTUS candidate faces if that person has ever held dual citizenship.
Stay tuned…
*The birth announcement was tracked down by Lori Starfelt, the producer of a documentary that PUMA is working on.

This is probably why Michelle Obamo admitted Dunham was not married:
