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.

Ping.

"A weird (minor??) mis-statement of fact in Obama's official biography."

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.

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.

“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.

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.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.

As if this admin can tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION:

Although much of this book is based on
contemporaneous journals or the oral histories of my family, the dialogue is necessarily an approximation of what was actually said or relayed to me. For the sake of compression, some of the characters that appear are composites of people I’ve known, and some events appear out of precise chronology. With the exception of my family and a handful of public figures, the names of most characters have been changed for the sake of their privacy.

‘DREAMS FROM MY FATHER’ IS NOT AN AUTOBIOGRPAHY.

Here are a couple notes to add to the confusion:

1. ‘Dreams from My Father’ Ch 1 states “He [Obama Sr.] had left Hawaii back in 1963, when I was only two years old, so that as a child I knew him only through the stories that my mother and grandparents told.”

Obama Sr was supposed to have left Hawaii in 1962 and not 1963.

2. In the book ‘The Dream Begins: How Hawai’I shaped Barack Obama’ Ch 7 pg 69, Obama himself states “My father, who I didn’t know, returned to KENYA when I was just two [1963].”

This passage shows that Obama can’t even keep the phony story straight.
