Original Note:
Claims about Obama's identity & citizenship have been repeatedly disproven. He was born in Hawaii, and the name Barry Soetoro refers to his stepfather, but there's no evidence of a legal name change. The photos show him at public events and do not corroborate the text's claims. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/mar/21/viral-image/no-evidence-support-claim-barack-obama-was-born-ke/
