Then the family removed her to Seattle to help her recover from her disillusionment while constructively attending college. She came back to be with her family when Obama Sr. left and to continue at college. She met another man (who seems to have been much nicer) and went with him to Indonesia. But the Indonesians were very prejudiced against Barack Jr. because he was part African. They threw stones at him. His mother sent him back to Hawaii which has a strong tradition of accepting multi-racial children and he went to an excellent school where he was accepted. He was a party guy doing drugs but not overdoing them. The same in college. In all this, he was following the idea of being a multi-racial child - his Hawaiian identity and an advanced, cool social thinker as as shown by drug use - his teen age identity. But when he decided to become a mainland politician in Chicago, then he had to remake all this and "become black" with the help of Bill Ayers. At present some earlier rather harmless deceptions his grandparents put in circulation to protect his mother are colliding with later, less harmless deceptions circulated by Bill Ayers. <br />Obama has to be seen as "black", not multi-racial, to hold the African-American vote for the Democrats and so there is no honest investigation by the LSM. Into the vacuum thus created, there pours all kinds of theories about who Obama "really" is. Here's who he really is - he really is someone who cannot fix the crash of 2008; he really is someone who is making it worse. He really is in the habit of making up changing stories to fit changing situations and this really is not enough.wildswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975129877750876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5081926732310284672012-06-20T10:25:00.702-05:002012-06-20T10:25:00.702-05:00"They had encouraged her to have the baby (an..."They had encouraged her to have the baby (and to marry the father)."<br /><br />Maraniss, David (2012-06-19).

Barack used to show a picture of his mother with Malcolm X (they traveled in similar circles) to people he got to know during his college years. I never read that he ever claimed to be his son, but some things don't need words especially if you show a picture of Senior and his other sons. AP and Reuters keeps on putting up pictures of Malcolm X miscaptioned as Barack Obama. I'm sure it's only a coincidence. <br /><br />I'm not saying that Barack is Mqalcolm Little's son, btw, but since he is Lefty royalty and a martyr to the cause, leaving that<br />inference to Lefties' imagination might go a long way in greasing your way to success. Explains why people like Laurence Tribe treated Barack like royalty after their first meeting.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277966379512526469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-65290828355501852442012-06-20T03:17:56.090-05:002012-06-20T03:17:56.090-05:00Y'all are working for 0bama's reelection. ...Y'all are working for 0bama's reelection.

Obama has never acknowledged this part of his story, when he has even tried to play up his personal ties to Kansas and Indiana, places he never lived.<br /><br /><br />Does Maraniss cover the education committee Obama served on in Chicago before he went to Harvard? Tom Maguire has found evidence Bill Ayers' dad was on the same committee. Valerie Jarrett's mother was also involved in Chicago education issues at the time.<br /><br />I go back to thinking how odd it is for a modern man with two memoirs has such an opaque background. How actively Obama and his people work to obscure it. And how odd it is people who try to figure it out are so very criticized (even when they turn out to have been right).MayBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966319657113124861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-80809236394291352132012-06-19T23:38:52.809-05:002012-06-19T23:38:52.809-05:00IIRC the infamous birth announcement in the Hawaii...IIRC the infamous birth announcement in the Hawaiian newspaper listed Stanley Ann Dunham Obama's home address. It was her parents' address.<br /><br />She was not 19 when she went to Seattle, it was right after Barack was born. She was 18. <br /><br />Somewhere in my past browsing was a comment by a friend of hers from those days which placed her in Seattle with a very young baby which short circuited me.<br /><br />As mentioned in the past as we have discussed Dreams from My Father, there is something seriously wrong with a man who writes a friendly book about the sperm donor who abandoned him *when he was a baby* BHO Sr. may have seen him as a toddler, but the evidence indicates that Obama Sr never lived with Dunham as husband & wife. He returned to Hawaii and met Barry when he was 10. Big whoop.<br /><br />To fixate ones life and identity on that kind of a person does not indicate a healthy person.<br /><br />Junior should have moved on many many years ago. Instead he suckered the voters of America into throwing away years of our lives, tearing the fabric of our country, and pouring trillions of dollars of our hard earned money into the black hole of his friends' pockets while trying to undo 200 years of a representative democracy.<br /><br />Fraud.JALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503869597362866878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-55040654061851123862012-06-19T23:18:51.120-05:002012-06-19T23:18:51.120-05:00(if I polish the apple any brighter, do I get a fr...(if I polish the apple any brighter, do I get a free toaster?)<br /><br />Nope.

It WAS...Nah, Meade...you nailed me fair and square.<br />It WAS provocative.<br /><br />I am just questioning how hard we try to avoid attaching "moral judgments" these days on rampaging bigamists.<br />Or how hard we try to avoid any mention that we cannot sustain our way of life or recover our finances from government devoring more and more for wealth transfers - if we all subsidize a violent black thug who can sire 30+ kids. Done with 11 quite willing mommas, that fully expect and demand for us taxpayers to support them and all their out of wedlock kids for decades. <br /><br />The Entitled demand, and we all meekly comply - even Tea Party people - without batting an eye to it or suppressing a desire to speak out because of fear of looking selfish about not paying more taxes, mean-spirited (denying the welfare dependents the best is just punishing the innocent children!!)<br />The silence is now demanded. PC forces stifle any pushback - of asking how long can we suppress any expression of moral anger that we taxpayers are tapped more and more for wealth transfers to bigamists and the feckless.<br /><br /><br />Only by lucky accident of Barack Obama having a wealthy Indonesian stepfather, then a grandma who was a bank exec - did we avoid people being taxed for Barack and Ann's food, housing, edication, and medical bills.<br /> <br />Long term - of seeing the genetic impact of grad degree engineers with two kids becoming less and less of the American population - and a gang-banger siring 50 before he is done leaving more and more generations of a shrinking number of smart, hard-working people to support.<br /><br />It makes me react a little outside PC.Cedarfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602418702398818596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-46044587286426944042012-06-19T22:38:32.357-05:002012-06-19T22:38:32.357-05:00@Jeff

We’re talking the nineteen-fifties culture and we are just beginning to talk about patriarchy, just beginning to try to figure out what feminism is all about, just beginning. In the Beat era women were still seen as servicing men. They hadn’t gotten past that, or even in remotely understanding that dynamic. The whole Kerouac era when you read it now is almost misogynistic.</i><br /><br />I attended college in the late fifties and got my bachelors in '62 - admittedly from a hick school in flyover country. I didn't know a single druggie and the women certainly didn't kowtow to men. Outside of the sororities, there were no women's organizations; there were slobs but no hippies; no malcontents but a whole bunch of screwed-up drunks; and no patriarchs, to speak of, but lots of jock heroes.<br />The British Invasion happened later and with it came the stuff of the middle and late sixties when 'Nam heated up. <br /><br />I am calling BS by a carried-away writer.gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-68900144922180342152012-06-19T22:12:44.980-05:002012-06-19T22:12:44.980-05:00Ralph L said...
