– Documents obtained from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service through a Freedom of Information Act request offer evidence that President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

A memo dated Aug. 31, 1961 from William Wood of Immigration and Naturalization Services indicates that Barack Obama, Sr., was attending the University of Hawaii on a student visa and that a son, Barack Obama, II, was born in Honolulu on Aug, 8, 1961.

The memo refers to Obama Sr.’s plans to attend the University of Hawaii for one more year to obtain his bachelor’s degree in economics, and that his spouse, a United States citizen, plans to work at the university.

“They have one child born Honolulu on 8/4/1961 – Barack Obama II, child living with mother (she lives with her parents & subject resides at 1482 Alisteastre St.),” the memo states.

I find it hard to believe Obama's "known" father was in fact his biological father. In fact, what if his biological father was indeed a US citizen and not this Kenyan? Perhaps a marriage of convience, but most certainly not one where Obama's mother and this Kenyan shared intimate relations.

I'm not hell-bent on getting him out - one is as bad as the next if you ask me. It's just the level of complacency we've all stooped to that is sad. In real life I know I'm not going to go out and lead any revolution or get anything done in that regard to change the system, but at least if someone is going to take the effort to come on the internet and TYPE about it, I'd expect them to TYPE with a little more backbone and flair! Instead of the ho-hum oh well it is what it is beat dog attitude.
