A weird (minor??) mis-statement of fact in Obama's official biography.
US Dept. of State and US Archives ^ | 5/12/11 | self

Posted on 05/12/2011 10:27:35 AM PDT by howardl

Why does BHO's official biography state: "His mother, Ann Dunham, was born and raised in small-town Kansas. After her family moved to the Hawaiian Islands, she met Barack Obama Sr., a Kenyan scholarship student enrolled at the University of Hawaii. The two married in 1959, and on August 4, 1961 ...."

Wikipedia says that Stanley Ann graduated from highschool in Washington state in 1960, and moved to Hawaii and started college that fall, where she met BHO senior. "Dunham and Obama Sr. were married on the Hawaiian island of Maui on February 2, 1961, despite parental opposition from both families. Dunham was three months pregnant at the time of her marriage."

This seems totally inconsequential, but why not get it right in the official biography?

Oh, come on, Howard!

You expect honesty in Obama’s official biography when he lies constantly about nearly everything else?

Maybe they're trying for consistency.

Because the “story” has evolved and they can’t keep it straight.

First of all, you can’t trust wikipedia. Anybody can edit and it is loaded with mistakes.

That being said, it is probably closer to the truth but nothing about Barry Soetero is truthful or correct. The facts change to suit the situation and the 2012 election campaign has started already.

My current working hypothesis is that SAD was pregnant when she met BHO Sr, and, in fact, her pregnancy (known only to her) might have been her motivation for starting the relationship.

Is there a BHO-SAD timeline that could support or refute this?

and officially document the bastardy? surely you jest.

That said, Wikipedia is hardly an authoritative source.

You’re right, inconsequential. Maybe someone edited the wikipedia?

You know, the White House should have interns just to make sure that the WIKI pages are updated to the ‘timelines of the week’

They should also have interns that know how to post straight documents on their websites instead of the mocked-up docs they are posting now.....there’s so much usurping going on that it’s difficult to keep every version of crooked - straight...

It is not inconsequential at all. 0dumbo has told so many lies about his background among other lies that it reveals his lck of character.

Someone PLEASE archive that. 0dumbo’s minions will correct it after they see it on here

"Dunham and Obama Sr. were married on the Hawaiian island of Maui on February 2, 1961, despite parental opposition from both families. Dunham was three months pregnant at the time of her marriage."

Parental opposition...I can only imagine, in the late 1950's, interracial dating, then getting pregnant out of wedlock with a mixed race baby. That must have gone over like a ton of bricks Heck, they're are a lot of areas of the country today where it would still raise a few eyebrows.

wikipedia could be mistaken
except commie annie’s high school graduation date is verifiable as is the date the commie dunhams got to Hi
plus consider, if commie annie had married marxist 0dumbo she must have met him and married him in days and would have been only 17

0dumbo has told so many lies he will never get it straight

I'm not sure where you're linking this to Wiki. The website address Howardl linked to is http://www.america.gov/publications/books/obama.html. At the bottom of the page it states, "This site delivers information about current U.S. foreign policy and about American life and culture. It is produced by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Information Programs. Links to other Internet sites should not be construed as an endorsement of the views contained therein.

yes THAT is the point

the link Howard provided is the official Gov biography stating the 0dumbos wed in 1959
Except commie annie didn’t graduate from high school in Washington until 1960
someone linked th wiki page that showed the commie dunhams didn’t get to Hi until later 1960

OK, Wikipedia's not exactly the Encyclopedia Brittanica. But in this case Wikipedia is almost certainly correct, and the official biography almost certainly wrong.

The Wikepedia time line is totally internally consistent:

Born Nov. '42, Graduate HS spring '60 (age 17, almost 18), start college fall '60, meet BHO, Sr. fall '60, pregnant, Nov '60, marriage Feb '61 (Parents object, but hey she's 18, so what can you do?), Jr. born august '61.

The alternative is impossible to make sense of: Born in '42, marries BHO, Sr. at age 16(?) (where, in Hawaii? what's she doing there? when did they meet?) , then back to Seattle to finish HS, then back to (??) Hawaii, then pregnant in nov 60 and junior in aug 61.

Obama's MySpace page showed his age as 52 in 2009 making his birth year 1957 instead of 1961. As far as I know this anomaly disappeared down the memory hole as time went by.
