One of the problems I had read about earlier last year was that Obama, even if born in Hawaii, may have been born before Hawaii became a state, which was August 21, 1959.
Obama allegedly was born Aug 4 1961. Perhaps this is what he is hiding that he was really born before Hawaii became a state in 1959 and is exactly 17 days short of being a natural born citizen. Then again there is the Kenya aspect of it.
We appreciate the analytical analysis really,
but "Yee gads !" First I've heard of this theory. LOL
The Honolulu Advertiser in the births section of the August 13, 1961 paper listed the Obama-Dunham birth with their address on Kalanianaole Hwy.
I suppose look at school records from Punahou High School if you still think he was two years older . . .
BUT it still will not make a difference - Hawai'i was an official territory "17 days before" it became a state.
Official US territories before they become states DO qualify as part of the United States -
i.e. Barry Goldwater (1964 Presidential candidate) was born in Arizona before it was a state, but it was an official territory.
McCain's Panama problem is very real.
Panama - or the Panama Canal Zone - have never lost their sovereignity.
Vermilya-Brown Co. v. Connell, 335 U.S. 377 (1948).
It was NOT even ever an unofficial territory (Phillipines may have been an unofficial US territory after WWII, as a comparison), but still would not qualify as "in the United States".
