Obama timeline
The Obama Timeline: 1961-2008
The following is an attempt to present the relevant aspects of Barack Obama’s life, from birth to the present. Every attempt has been made to present accurate names, information, and dates. If errors or significant omissions are noted, please free to contact the author at colony14@gmail.com.
1961-1966
Barack Obama Jr. is allegedly born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961, [1] to Stanley Ann Dunham (1942-1995). [1,289] Ann Dunham (who understandably had dropped the “Stanley”) married Obama’s father, Barack Obama Sr. (1936-1982), on February 2, 1961. Obama, Sr., an African Muslim, already had two children with a woman in Kenya named Kezia (1938 - ). [289] It is likely, however, that Obama, Sr. was not legally married to Kezia (their marriage was only a tribal marriage), making his marriage to Dunham legal. [3,7,289,299] (Obama and Kezia re-unite after he separates from Ann Dunham, and Kezia bears two more of his children.)
If Obama, Jr. was born in Hawaii, he was both an American and a Kenyan citizen because his father was a Kenyan. If he was born in Hawaii, Obama’s Kenyan citizenship expired when he turned age 21. [219] If Obama later became a citizen of Indonesia by virtue of being adopted by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro, Obama lost his Kenyan citizenship at the point of adoption. [258]
Although the divorce of Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham in 1964 [6] suggests they had been married on February 2, 1961 [6], there are no disclosed records or witnesses to indicate a marriage [4,10], and Michelle Obama states in an interview that Ann Dunham was “very young and very single when she had him (Barack).” [8] In any event, Dunham was unmarried when she became pregnant.
Dunham is an atheist [2], an “Adlai Stevenson liberal,” a secular humanist, [9] leftist social-activist, [10] and a student of cultural anthropology. Ann Dunham meets Barack Obama Sr. while both are studying Russian at the University of Hawaii. [4,5]
In 1962 or 1963, [6] Obama’s parents separate; his father leaves Hawaii to attend Harvard and then return to Kenya, where he has at least eight other children with four other women. He does not see his son Barack Jr. again until 1971, when he visits Hawaii for one month; [11,271] he is eventually killed in 1982, at age 46, [7] in a drunk driving accident.
The 1961 birth certificate posted on the Internet by the Obama campaign is suspected of being a forgery, based on a modified copy of his half-sister Maya’s birth certificate. [12] If Obama does have a legitimate Hawaiian birth certificate, it possibly does not list a father if Dunham and Obama, Sr. were not married. (At that time, the custom was to omit the father’s name when the father and mother were not married).
The Internet site “FactCheck.org” states that the birth certificate provided by the Obama campaign is legitimate, but it should be noted that FactCheck.org is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation, which also funded the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where Obama and William Ayers distributed tens of millions of dollars to leftist organizations. [302] It should also be noted that most, if not all, of the people who have declared the birth certificate to be either authentic or a fake have seen only photocopies or scanned images, and not an original paper document.
There has been speculation that Obama was born in Kenya [197,199,199,248] and brought to Hawaii as an infant, because the airlines would (in 1961) not have allowed a pregnant Dunham to fly. [248] (Relatives of Obama in Kenya, who likely are unaware of the eligibility requirements of the U.S. Presidency, state that he was born in Kenya.) The Kenya birth speculation is incorrect if Dunham met Obama Sr. while both were students at the University of Hawaii and if they did not also travel to Kenya in 1961.
Although Obama’s campaign has given the names of two different Hawaiian hospitals where he was supposed to have been born (Kapiolani Women’s Center and Queens Medical Center, both in Honolulu), that may be due to campaign staff ignorance or incompetence, and not deceit. Still, no one has been able to confirm the birth from either hospital’s records. There is apparently a register of the birth in the public records office, dated August 8, 1961, one week after the birth, but it supposedly does not list a place of birth. (Note that a register of birth is not the same as a birth certificate.) [248]
A writer for “Online Journal” publishes an article on June 9, 2008 claiming that a research team went to Mombasa, Kenya, and located a certificate of the Kenyan birth of Barack Obama, Jr. It is unclear why that story, if it is true, did not get “traction.” There is also speculation that certified copies of a Kenyan birth certificate, with embossed raised seals and with birth witness signatures, are now in the hands of three individuals; the documents allegedly state that Obama was born at 7:24 p.m., on August 4, 1961, at Coast Provincial General Hospital, in Mombasa, Kenya. [248,299,301]
There have been claims that Obama’s paternal grandmother (his father’s mother), Sarah Hussein Obama (or Sarah Onyango Obama) (1922 - ), [289] told reporters that Barack Obama Jr. was born in Kenya, when her son came to visit, accompanied by a pregnant Ann Dunham - who was very close to her delivery date. Sarah Hussein Obama further states that she was present in the delivery room when Obama was born in Kenya. [299] One half-brother and one half-sister of candidate Obama also claim he was born in Kenya. [248] This would be consistent with a reported stop by Dunham in the state of Washington on the return trip to Hawaii, and with the possible existence of only a Hawaiian “register of birth,” rather than an actual birth certificate.
Note that Hawaiian law allows the State of Hawaii to issue a birth certificate even if the child is born outside the State, provided the parents have been legal residents of Hawaii for at least one year immediately preceding the birth. Such a birth certificate does, however, require that the place of birth be correctly recorded. Thus, had Obama been born in Kenya and shortly thereafter brought to Hawaii, Dunham could have had a Hawaiian birth certificate prepared, but that document would have been in addition to the birth certificate issued in Kenya. Such a Hawaiian birth certificate, if issued, does not make the child a United States citizen; it is merely a birth-recording convenience offered by the State. If the place of birth on a Hawaiian birth certificate is later altered, the certificate could nevertheless appear legitimate in terms of format, style, and numbering. [301]
