>>I admit that I have no firm data, only statements by friends who were in Hawaii at the time.

Lets look for some credibility here. Your friends lived on Oahu, Hawaii at the same time that Obama went to school there and they somehow remember the circumstances under which this one young man went to school? Did they know he would run for president? Were they on the board of the school?

I'll leave it to you to examine the credibility of these friends of yours but allow me to note that I was recently introduced to a new term which was "Political buddy" a friend of ours told us that a "Political buddy" had told her that his "friends" in Kenya had written him a letter which avowed, among other things that Obama had conspired with his "tribe" to become President and take over America for Islam.

"Political buddies" can only be trusted to tell you politically self serving things.
