“Think about it, she's been caring for the child of ANNA since the boy was almost four years of age and now comes Auma with zero and they tell her that he is the son of the white woman he married in the US.”

Pure Conspiracy Theory unsupported by a single document or witness.

You now claim that Ruth was caring for Roman (son of Senior Asian-American wife) since 1964, so let me share with FReepers what Ruth told Maraniss she was doing in late 1964 and 1965 prior to the birth of Mark in Barack Obama: The Story:

from pages 201-202:

After struggling with a job at the Nation
newspaper, she found more suitable employment at Nestle in the industrial area of Nairobi, working as personal secretary to the chief executive officer. With her boss's help, she was able to buy a new Peugeot 204 and learned how to drive on the left side of the road. After work she often joined her husband at the Starlight Club, a hangout in Integrity Center that had become the whirling vortex of Nairobi's fun-loving nightlife. “Oh, it was a rocking place. We had a great time,” she said later. “with all the prostitutes, and everyone else too. Including [Tom] Mboya. Everybody went there. Very many prostitutes, all over the place. But they had great music. They had Congolese music. everybody was jumping and rocking. beautiful. What a great time, for people who like to drink and dance. I got tired at three in the morning, but Barack would be able to stay until four or five and then we'd go home.

from page 207:

Adede was killed on the spot. Obama made it home with only minor injuries.
It turned out that Ruth was pregnant by then, a condition that she had not expected or wanted. She felt increasingly fearful of her husband and thought about having an abortion, but was not able to follow through on a decision. “I was very unhappy...I was very lonely. And I was on my own. I had nobody. I was crying lots of nights...and I didn't want a baby. I didn't know anything about babies...I wasn't one of those people who thought about that, and then it happened. In fact I was one of those who thought I would never have a baby.” Mark was born late that fall, on November 28. His Luo name was Okoth, which means “born when it is raining.”
The baby transformed Ruth; his presence mande her feel euphoric. Whatever else was happening in her world, she had him.

Regarding any babysitting of an alleged son of BHO Sr. named Roman in Kenya, as you can see in her very personal account above shared with Maraniss (on tape, I believe) Ruth was a wild party animal in late 1964 and early 1965 working all day and drinking and dancing all night surrounded by politicians and prostitutes with no sign of "Roman" Obama or any other child or baby being in her care until the birth of her own cherished Mark on November 28, 1965.

Many of these details can be verified and corroborated and they been, while the mystery birth and travel of "Roman" Obama, the alleged "original" BHO II from Hawaii to Seattle to Kenya is totally unverified, undocumented and unobserved in any way. Two photo events in which he appears to be the same age, but were taken three years apart "doesn't pass the smell test" as we CPAs say.

I can see that I am not discussing anything with you, I might as well be having a conversation with Bill Ayers, or Sally Jacobs, or any one of the other authors who tell varying tales about the adventures of the people around zero, and now it's Manariss I am 'talking' to. You're a joke. You can't trust yourself to have an opinion, you need to be told what to think. But what's really sad is that you miss all the interesting bits, like Ruth saying how the house was always full of relatives and children, and Malik saying how he grew up with Barack Hussein Obama...there must be a mountain of books you can quote from by now. Pity is, most of them contradict each other. Don't forget Malcolm Marable, he's got a good one out, he says he researched it for 10 years. That's because he was in charge of the Malcolm X archive at Columbia, I guess. The daughters of MX are furious with him, for wrIting that both their mother and father had affairs.

Live happy in your straight-jacket world, where no light nor truth shines in, and both are contained only on the pages of the books you read. It's got to be one of the pitfalls of your profession, IF IT'S NOT ON PAPER, IT DOESN'T EXIST. You are far far too easy to fool/impress...but I'm telling you now, I plan to continue, there's more to the story others deserve to see, whether it suits your CPA fossilized brain or not. That poor woman has been through h+ll, she wants to keep her life and her school, she loves the children from what I can gather, she will tell the story in whatever way will keep her safe.

And on second, third or fourth thoughts, I am really beginning to wonder, what possible motive could you have to be so determined to prevent me from trying to show in words and pictures, the results of the researches and comments made by a number of freepers over a period of almost two years...why is it, that every time I post something that our group has found of interest, there you are, with your pitchfork, like some kind of grim reaper? You’ve been at it from the moment I started and haven’t allowed a single comment of mine to stand without an instant attack. Is someone paying you?
