Factoids to throw on the fire:
1. Obama's parents purportedly married on February 2, 1961. She would have been 18 - not 17 at the time.
2. At the time they married , his Dad was already married to a woman in Kenya. Thus, the marriage was
null & void. His Dad under US law, could have been a bigamist. (Obamabots have argued that the Kenyan
marriage was not legal under Kenyan law, thus making the US marriage valid.)
3. According to Obama's story, they lived together in Hawaii until his Dad went to Harvard in 1962.
4. But we know his Mom & her son split 2 weeks after giving birth to Seattle.
5. And we know his Dad did not go with them.
6. There is apparently no evidence they ever lived together.
7. There is apparently no reference to the marriage, except when his Mom filed for divorce in 1964.
8. No one was invited to the marriage. Her friends were surprised to learn of it.
9. The marriage is referenced in the divorce, but nobody has produced a marriage certificate.
Obama's father had an agenda: to return to his home country and help reinvent Kenya. He wanted to take his new family with him. But he also had a wife from a previous marriage there—a marriage that may or may not have been legal.

A propaganda arm of the Obama Re-Election Campaign, Snopes.com, completely omits the fact that
his Mom moved to Seattle w/o his Dad, when Barack was 2 weeks old.

None of this information would have been on his birth certificate.
It's still very bizarre why he would try to hide it.
I've never seen a stranger story in American politics.
