Here are a couple of excerpts which also confirm your statement:
(1) Obamas grandparents maneuvered him into Punahou; his grandfathers boss, an alumnus, intervened to have Obama accepted. And Madelyns job at the bank helped pay the steep tuition. By living in a modest apartment and sending Obama (and eventually Maya) to private school, his grandparents had sacrificed their own prosperity for the sake of Obama and his sister. We never suffered, Madelyn answered when I asked what specific things were given up to send her grandchildren to Punahou. As you can see, we live in an apartment instead of a house .But I think we could have done the other if we had wanted. But I traveled, you know, and spent money on the kids the kids and traveling were priorities. (From Promise to Power David Mendell pg 36)
(2) She [Madelyn] took care of the family financially, making it possible for Barack and me [Maya] to maneuver through life, knowing that we could take some risks because she provided us a safety net. (Obamaland by Ron Jacobs pg 95)
I used to believe the Nude photos were of Ann, but now I’m not so sure.
1. There is a ring on the model’s ring finger - indicating marriage/engagement.
2. Neil Abercrombie’s statement “Ann was no beach bunny” and photo evidence that Ann was heavy - yet the model seems somewhat skinny.
I really don’t have a clear guess on the model’s age - which would help guess the year the photos were taken - if they were of Ann.
I haven’t seen any concrete evidence that Barry was in Seattle with Ann in 1961-1962. The only evidence I’ve seen is the highly suspect statement by Mary Toutonghi:
1)
‘Dunham attended night classes a few days a week at the University of Washington, and needed someone to take care of her son.
She watched Obama a few times a week, for about three hours at a time. Dunham paid her, but she doesnt remember how much, Toutonghi said.
I remember his being very large and very curious and very alert. I dont remember him fussing, but that doesnt mean anything. Saying he never fussed is like saying hes not real. But I dont remember any undue fussing at all, she said.’ (’Obama baby sitter awaits new era’ by Jenny Neyman)
The statement “Saying he never fussed is like saying hes not real.” seems to me that Mary is making up the story.
2)
‘It was interesting, and I dont know why she was going to school in Seattle and he was in Hawaii at the time. She had told me at one point that because of her husbands post in the tribe he was going to have to go back to Kenya and marry a black woman, as well. It was a whole different world, so she was accepting of that and hoping she could get back to him soon, Toutonghi said.
Since I found the book, Dreams from My Father, when it was first published, then when I was working on the 2004 presidential campaign and realized he was the convention speaker, it blew me away. And then this, she said.
I keep thinking of the six degrees of separation, that thing. Ive known some unusual people in my time, but this was different.
It was just mind-boggling to me when he did that Democratic convention, and then was like, Huh, she said.
We talked, but I cant say, if I had been really strong friends I would have kept up the relationship. It was interesting to me as I read that book, his first book, I was thinking of his mother, then finding out she had died I felt very badly. I had meant to try to contact her through the publisher, but I didnt get around to it. It was one of those things, she said.
I just think weve been through eight years of hell, Toutonghi said, referring to the war in Iraq, mounting national debt and the countrys downward spiral into economic recession during President Bushs administration.’ (’Obama baby sitter awaits new era Soldotna woman eager for former charges reign’ by Jenny Neyman)
I believe this excerpt shows Mary’s true intent.
Happy Birthday to Barry Soetero. or is it Barry Dunham? or is it Barack Hussein Obama?
That’s right Happy Birthday to ??? - or is it Barry aka Frank Marshall Davis Jr.
I’m not even really sure when his actual birthday was - I have reason to believe he was born in 1959 or 1960.
We will now!!!
Funny video. I think the WH might be pushing the ‘born in Kenya’ just as much as “birthers” - whatever a “birther” is supposed to mean.
I’d place good money that Barry was born in Wichita, Ks or Hawaii in 1959-1960 with Frank Marshall Davis & Madeline Payne at his side.
