“To have taken up with an African student in the 1960-61 timeframe, and get pregnant before her 18th birthday, does not show great and wonderful judgment.”
Without a doubt this is questionable at any time, but that’s on the record. like any conspiracy theory, the born-out-of-Africa theory requires assessing her much harsher than as a knocked up college girl - as someone who committed fraud. What is horrendous to me is that there is no evidence for it, save for an assumption that ‘someone like her would find it easy to do it’.
Let me repeat what I said to ‘null and void’:
“I said nothing of her character good or bad, its just that the reality - that Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, is far more simple and expected than this bizarre trip-to-Africa theory that has more holes in it than swiss cheese. I think it is anything *but* stupid for an 18 yearold pregnant college girl to do the expected thing and stay put in Honolulu to have her baby. A jaunt half-way round the world would be incredibly ill-advised for a near-term woman, stupendously expensive, and amazingly gratuitous. It would be further incredible that this amazing trip would have ZERO record in any of barack’s family’s mind. No pictures or postcards, no word from Grandma to Barack to later put in his bio, of how his Mom connected with the Africa side. Nope! She secretly jetted off, had a baby came back and its the huge family secret kept from everyone except intrepid outsiders like you.
I am merely saying this: Things that have no real record of happening didnt happen.
It’s not too hard of a rule to follow.”
It’s just very bad form to make gratuitous attacks on her character merely to feed a pet theory based on nothing but airy speculation.
