Wow! Not only are you sadly misled and misinformed, but you're obviously blind as well. The story is still there, big as life.

All of my documents have either my maiden name or my married name on them, because I've gone by both at different points in my life. Where are Obama's documents with the name Barry Soetoro on them?

What happened?

How did this turn into a birther thread?

Sure does. Soetoro was the name of his mother's second husband. It was also the maiden name of Obama's half sister. He attended school in Indonesia from the ages of 6-10.

Where are the other documents with the name Barry or Barack Soetoro on them? And if Soetoro was his step-father as the Indonesian school document states, shouldn't Obama's birth certificate say Barack Soetoro like the Indonesian school registration? Schools don't register students by a name of convenience, they register them by their legal name. And having just returned from that part of the world not so long ago, nothing can be done without showing one's passport or other form of legal identification. Even for something as innocuous as exchanging a few hundred U.S. dollars of cash currency.

It would be a serious conflict of interest for any President to maintain an active license while in office.
Where did you hear that nonsense?

.
He was not adopted by his mother's second husband. It was the name used to enroll him in school in Indonesia when he was 6-10 years old. Nothing more or less.

BTW, it was rather uncommon for U.S. people to have passports prior to the late 70's. Even now, U.S. people seem a tad stunned to realize they need a passport to travel, cause we are so darn special.
Children under 16 are still allowed to travel with nothing more than a birth certificate to some countries.

You are an expert in historical third world Jakarta, Indonesia school registration policies that were in place 40+/- years ago?

Your own recent travel experience has nothing in common with passport requirements 40+ years ago.
