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."

“The two married in 1959” when Dunham was 15? WTF?

There’s another error. Stanley Ann Dunham wasn’t raised in Kansas. Her family lived in Kansas, Texas, California, New York State and Washington State during her childhood. Those are the places we have good evidence for. There might have been others.

At least one source says they lived in Ontario, Canada for a while, another says British Columbia, Canada. Doubtful. A third source says they lived in England for two years while Stanley Armour Dunham was in the USAAF. He did but his wife and kid not so likely.

By comparison the stupid marriage date, not so significant. Anyway Stanley Ann got her own date of marriage to Lolo wrong, at least once.

. . . . Check it out:

0bama'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.

. . . . See Screen Capture/ graphic at # 20.

Makes sense. Since it appears that BHO Sr. touched everything but the 3rd. rail, it wouldn’t be too tough to lure him to bed. She probably had to get Frank Marshall Davis off the hook.

Obama is the Master of Disinformation.

It serves his purpose to lie, distort the truth, and misstate basic facts.

It keeps us busy running after the truth while he contines to screw over the country.

Oh, yeah, ignore the crazies who say they lived in Beirut, Lebanon, at one time.

There is a rumor Montreal, Quebec is a possibility.

I like to go with solid evidence.

Wikipedia is supported by Stanley Ann and her attorney who stated in SA’s divorce pleadings v Sr. that they were married on 2-2-61. That may be the best evidence.

The official gov document may include an ordinary mistake. If the date was submitted intentionally, however, the question is what factual pattern might be established with a 1959 marriage?

Does it fit an older age? Or, was it just another example of a spiteful, immature response?

Seems like it hasn’t been looked at very closely. Probably isn’t that important to some people.

Which would fit right in with BO Sr. leaving her... if he had been snookered into the relationship to be a substitute “babby-daddy”.... this would forment a wedge.

This also opens up a LOT of questions about “who is BO’s Daddy (genetically as well as philosophically/politically).

Interesting since Hawaii did not become a state until 1959.

Lies, lies, and more lies...on a taxpayer funded website ow promoting campaign propaganda!

“The Early Years

“Obama’s parents came from vastly different
backgrounds. 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,
Barack Obama Jr. was born in Honolulu. Two
years later the senior Obama left his new family,
first for graduate study at Harvard and then for
a job as a government economist back in Kenya.
The young Obama met his father again only
once, at age 10.

“When Obama was six, his mother remarried,
this time to an Indonesian oil executive.
The family moved to Indonesia, and
Obama spent four years attending school in the
capital city of Jakarta. He eventually returned to
Hawaii and went to high school there while living
with his maternal grandparents.”

Ahem!

1. Of course, Stanley Ann was not “raised in small town Kansas,” like Dorothy, but completed HS in Mercer Island WA.

2. The Obama marriage, per her HI divorce filing, was Feb 2, 1961, not in 1959 (her lawyer filed that assertion subject to bar sanctions for failing to confirm, and a missing page 11 might be the marriage license, still protected by HI privacy law for 75 years, IIRC).

3. Of course Senior never lived with the family (per U of Wash transcripts, Polk and INS docs) so he couldn't have left after two years. There was no family.

4. The Soetoro marriage was in 1965 when Barry was 4, not 1967 when Barry was 6,and potentially subject to expatriation under Indonesian law, IIRC...

I don’t know, but it’s definitely interesting.

Stanley Ann and her attorney contend in the divorce pleadings that the two were married on 2-2-61. That is the ONLY evidence of a marriage.

The best evidence of a marriage would be a marriage license, or better yet, a state-issued marriage certificate.

Now, this should be easy to ascertain as marriages are public, but no marriage license or marriage certificate exists in the public domain.

The only marriage certificate you will ever see will be counterfeit and created after the fact.

Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein 0bama, Senior were never married.

and even if one existed from the U.S., it wouldn’t be a legal marriage in this country.
