August 24-25, 2011 -- DATELINE JAKARTA. What was the meaning of Obama's last name "Soebarkah" in mother's passport application?
In 1968, one year after moving to Jakarta, Indonesia, President Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro listed her son's last name as Barack Hussein Obama (Soebarkah) with "Soebarkah bracketed by parentheses, vice Soetoro. Obama's mother later used the spelling of "Sutoro" as her own last name.
Files released by the State Department on Dunham's name-change passport application lists two dates and places of marriage to her Indonesian Army Lieutenant Colonel husband, Lolo Soetoro: March 5, 1964, in Maui and March 15, 1965, in Molokai -- almost a year's difference. In her 1968 passport renewal application, Barack Obama's name is listed as Barack Hussein Obama (Soebarkah). In passport renewal and amendment applications filed from Jakarta, Dunham uses two different names: Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro and Stanley Ann Soetoro.
The name "Soebarkah" may be Obama's given Indonesian name upon his formal adoption by Lolo Soetoro. The adoption of an Indonesian name also indicates strongly that Obama became an Indonesian citizen. In Janny Scott's book, "A Singular Woman," a young Obama is quoted as telling Lolo that he wanted to one day become "Prime Minister of Indonesia," something that only an Indonesian citizen could strive to attain. Indonesian law explicitly states that dual citizenship is not permitted and, according to a 1958 Indonesian law, only Indonesian citizens could be enrolled in the two schools Obama attended in Jakarta: St. Fransiskus Assisi Catholic school and Menteng Elementary. By becoming an Indonesian and possibly by travelling on an Indonesian passport to Pakistan and India in 1980, Obama ceased being a "natural born" citizen and became a "native born" citizen. Although it is an Indonesian custom for family, friends, and even employers of domestic help to informally "adopt" the children of relatives, friends, and employees, Obama's adoption was much more formal and carried out pursuant to Indonesian law.
Obama's mother's listing of her son's name as "Soebarkah" was in all likelihood an attempt by her to avoid breaking U.S. law, which states, "False statements made knowingly and willfully in passport applications are punishable by fine and/or imprisonment under U.S. law."
Soebarkah may be Obama's given Indonesian name: a legal requirement in his formal adoption process and his becoming an Indonesian citizen.
Article II, clause 5, is very specific about Obama's ineligibilitu to serve as President as a "native born" American who held Indonesian citizenship as a child and may have continued holding dual citizenship two years after turning 18: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Obama's eligibility to serve as President has never been about his Hawaiian birth certificate. Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, which made him an American citizen until he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, became a sole Indonesian citizen as a result of Indonesia's prohibition of dual citizens, was given the Indonesian name of Soebarkah, and may have continued to swear allegiance to a foreign power until after he turned 18. There is a controversy over Obama's attendance at Occidental College in 1979, with unverified reports that he had been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship only available to foreign students. Obama's Occidental records, as well as those from Columbia University, where he transferred, remain largely sealed.
With most of Obama's immediate family members dead and those who he knew in Jakarta who are still alive afraid to talk to the press, Obama has managed to continue to perpetuate a fraudulent presidency on the American people. The "birther" extremists, most of whom are unfamiliar with the history of Indonesia in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, have managed to muddy the waters by insisting that Obama was born in Kenya, a meme that is intended to paint Obama as an African, thus catering to racist elements in the Republican Party. There is a significant issue with Obama's eligibility to serve as President but the roads to Mombasa and Honolulu are truly dead ends: the only road pointing to the answers about Obama's citizenship status leads to Jakarta.

From a subscriber in the comments:
"... The "birther" fight has always been about the Constitution NOT where he was born. The Corsi's and Taitz's of the world are doing the work for their masters to distract the populous w/this nativity story scavenger hunt but they've failed as they always do and always will. Few, mostly newbies to the meme, even give a rip what these paid detractors have to say about Kenya or Hawaii.
And I don't know how one can be impeached if one does not and never has met the three simple qualifications laid out in Article II of the US Constitution. You see, if you don't meet the qualifications, at least according to the constitution, yet you ran anyways and got elected that is called fraud. Therefore, one can't be impeached unless they are legally qualified under the constitution to serve of which Obama is not.
And don't think for a minute Obama didn't tell the world this including those who voted for him in 2008. He told everyone he was a dual citizen at birth, everyone, but the majority still voted him in which is precisely what the charlatans needed to begin to shred Article II whose sole intent is designed to protect American's from foreign allegiances influencing their/our government.
So Crank, I'd like to see him arrested for fraud and I'd like to see his voters, at least those who have done their due diligence to learn their history and the significance of what their vote really meant in 2008 to turn out in droves voting him and his ilk out of office.
That's what I'd like to see. I can't imagine any American who understands the significance of violating Article II so blatantly could ever cast their one vote for a self-admitted fraud. Talk about voting against your own self interest."

August 25-26, 2011 -- DATELINE JAKARTA -- Indonesian single citizenship law explained
WMR has learned from a knowledgeable source who has covered Indonesian politics for twenty years why Indonesia has been so strict on insisting that no dual Indonesian citizenship by nationals of other countries be legal. The Indonesians, like the framers of the U.S. Constitution, particularly Article 2, Clause 5, which states that U.S. presidents must be "natural born" citizens, did not want a foreign usurper from being proclaimed President of Indonesia in the years leading up to Indonesia's declaration of independence in 1945, following World War II.
Indonesian independence leaders feared that the Dutch Queen might try to become a president-regent in a post-war independence for Indonesia that would be in name only. The independence leaders were also aware that the Japanese occupiers during the war suggested that Emperor Hirohito was offerred as a regent-president of Indonesia in de facto colonial relationship with Japan. Therefore, Indonesian law was crafted to disallow dual citizens to prevent someone with loyalty to a foreign power becoming President of Indonesia.
Ironically, it is Barack Obama's own Indonesian citizenship status that has some questioning his constitutional eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
In the years following the fall of the Suharto dictatorship, rather than seeing a disclosure of archives from the Suharto "New Order" regime following the CIA-inspired coup in 1965, archives have been kept under wraps. This situation has benefited those researchers who want more information on the activities of Obama's step-father, mother, and their Indonesian and American colleagues in the years immediately following the coup. There is one group in Indonesia that is calling for more disclosure and transparency of government activities in Indonesia: the Muhammadiya Islamic movement, condemned by some in the West as pro-Islamic state, but in reality, is as reform-minded as the Turkish Justice and Development Party and is just as committed to increasing democratic rule in Indonesia.
