Haven't read the book, but I might. Meanwhile, put your two posts together. He interviewed people who worked on the maternity ward...and was surprised by how few people remembered Obama.

The reviewer didn't specifically state that anyone at the hospital remembered SAD and/or Obama. Maybe they just spoke in generalities, or perhaps they demurred on the basis of protecting Obama’s privacy. Who knows?

[If one of them remembered Obama and SAD specifically, and went on the record by name, wouldn't we have heard of it by now?]

Of course. I'm just curious as to their names and if they are quoted since apparently Maraniss and the second reviewer go out of their way to make it appear (as usual) that Obama was born in the Hawaiian hospital. Name names Maraniss or it's worth nothing.

The first reviewer seems to be shocked at the lack of people remembering Obama. Not the kind of remark you'd expect from a book reviewer. I'm kind of shocked by the reviewer's shock. LOL

"I was startled by the sheer number of people Maraniss talks to who do not remember young Barack Obama at all."

Lots of interesting tidbits in these reviews.

I don't think I could stomach this book. LOL

He was an efficient worker (Barf) and an aloof colleague (Of Course). Unlike many of his young co-workers, he never arrived at work late (Barf)—and never stayed late (Of Course). He did what the job required (Barf), "no more and no less."(Of Course)

When one co-worker, knowing that Mr. Obama was a runner, suggested that they jog together after work, Mr. Obama declined, saying: "I don't jog, I run." (Pretentious Jerk - Barf) It appears that he was simply biding time in a world he did not like. (Hurl)

In a letter found by Mr. Maraniss, Mr. Obama's mother wrote a friend: "He calls it working for the enemy (Just like being pResident) because some of the reports are written for commercial firms that want to invest in [Third World] countries."
