I have no use for Barack Obama. I don’t need a President with a history of drug abuse who puts the dreams of his father above the interests of the United States. Obama’s presidency is like a giant sinkhole, swallowing up everything we ever valued as Americans. It’s almost an insult to our intelligence, to ask us to believe that Obama is a US citizen. He has a schizophrenic timeline of unexplained foreign travel, a list of aliases, and uncomfortable friendships with communists and hostile governments. We can drop this debate over his birth certificate because we have something even more valuable. We have his mother’s passport files. Stanley Ann Dunham’s passport files were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act and then posted online. (Strunk v. US Department of State) When Obama was young, children traveled as an addition to their parents’ passports. Passport regulations required a photo of parent and child together, as well as a certified copy of a hospital birth certificate. State-issued IDs came much later. If Obama was born in the United States, as everybody says, then there should be a photo of little Barack Obama with his mother, as well as a certified copy of his Hawaiian birth certificate in her file. Surprise. There are no photos of little Barack Obama in the file. And of course, there is no birth certificate from any hospital in Hawaii. I know the passport laws for children. Obama’s mother and I would be approximately the same age if she survived. I filled out the very same passport applications for my own daughter, three years after Obama’s mother took him to Jakarta. The laws were the same for both of us. My daughter was born in an Army hospital in Japan in 1971, when my husband was in the Navy. I added her to my passport so I could bring her back to the United States. I remember it like it was yesterday because my ex-husband complained about how complicated it was. We had to go to the hospital and get a certified copy of her birth certificate, re-take my passport photo with my daughter, crop it until it fit the requirements, and then go all the way to the US Consulate in Tokyo and stand in line. If there was anything the man hated, it was anything that cost him money or inconvenienced him. I carried a joint passport for myself and my daughter through US Customs and Immigration in Hawaii. I can tell you from experience that if Obama’s mother tried to take her son through US Customs and Immigration in Hawaii without a joint passport for herself and her son, she would have been stopped. The obvious question is, who took him through US Customs and Immigration and helped him board the plane in Hawaii? And who brought him back? The only mention of little Barack Obama is when his mother tried to renew her passport at the US Consulate in Jakarta a few years later. We see evidence of that in the file. She tried to trick the passport office. She went to the US Consulate in Jakarta and wrote “Barack Obama” in the section where you add your child. She thought, like we did, that they were going to add him to her passport, no questions asked. They probably laughed and asked her how her son got to Jakarta without a US Passport. When she failed to go get this Hawaiian birth certificate and retake her photo, the Passport Office crossed out his name. She found herself stuck in Jakarta, trying to sneak her son back to the United States. All Congress has to do is ask the Passport Legal Office to explain how Obama’s mother took him through US Customs and Immigration without a US passport. I don’t see that happening. If there was a logical explanation, Obama should look forward to clearing his name. Or maybe we’ll get lucky, and he’ll just get on a helicopter and leave.

Everybody doesn't say that he was born in the United States but there is an interesting post in the Comments section of the article that suggests he was born in Topeka, Kansas and that his Dunham granparents had custody of him, not his mother, so it is their passports rather than her's that would be at issue.

Passport regulations required a photo of parent and child together, as well as a certified copy of a hospital birth certificate. State-issued IDs came much later. If Obama was born in the United States, as everybody says, then there should be a photo of little Barack Obama with his mother, as well as a certified copy of his Hawaiian birth certificate in her file. When Obama was young, children traveled as an addition to their parents’ passports. This was an option when Obama was a baby, it was not required. Subsequently (circa 1972) joint passports were no longer issued and each person, adult or infant, had to be on an individual passport. Passport regulations required ... a certified copy of a hospital birth certificate. .....If Obama was born in the United States ... then there should be a certified copy of his Hawaiian birth certificate in her (Mama Obama's) file. No. Passport regs required that the Passport Adjudicator be shown a birth certification (before 1972 it could also be a hospital birth certificate or a church baptismal certificate) with the official seal --- but not that the Passport Office keep the birth certificate nor make a photocopy of it. The adjudicator would simply jot down the few essential details to show that he had seen a genuine birth document, and then return the document to the parent. As for the photograph, the Strunk litigation brought out Stanley Ann Dunham's own passport papers, because she was dead and no longer was entitled to secrecy under the FOIA, but not the papers that included the Prez who is alive and therefore legally entitled to confidentiality under the FOIA. So we aren't able to see the photo that was on their joint passport. However, in Indonesia, Mama Obama submitted a passport amendment to have baby Barack taken off her passport -- and indication that henceforth they might be traveling separately on individual passports. That she filed such a paper shows that baby Barack had been on her passport originally, itself proof that she had shown the original passport adjudicator Barack's US birth document.
