Biographer admits: There was no Obama family!

"Exclusive: Jack Cashill notes Maraniss book puts lie to O's 'improbable love' claim"

Excerpt....In all the talk about David Maraniss’ new book, “Barack Obama: The Story,” the chattering classes seem to have overlooked the most significant of Maraniss’ revelations, namely that the story on which Obama based his 2008 candidacy is “received myth, not the truth.”

“My parents shared not only an improbable love,” said Obama famously in his 2004 Democratic Convention keynote, “they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation.” This concept of multicultural romance shaped his persona and his campaigns.

At the 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver, Obama leaped into the story in the very first sentence. “Four years ago,” he began, “I stood before you and told you my story – of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren’t well-off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to.”

As Maraniss concedes, these two young people shared very close to nothing. “In the college life of Barack Obama in 1961 and 1962,” writes Maraniss, “as recounted by his friends and acquaintances in Honolulu, there was no Ann; there was no baby.”

Although Maraniss talked to many of Obama Sr.’s friends, none of the credible ones ever so much as saw him with Obama’s ........

Maraniss definitively states that “[Dunham] and Obama and the infant never lived [at 6085 Kalanianole].” There was no room. The senior Dunhams shared the house with the Pratt family. The Pratt daughter “has no memory of the Dunhams’ daughter bringing an infant home.”

Right, he does have self-serving reasons for it, but I guess we’ll see how that pans out after he doesn’t need to win another election.

Well, if it is true that Barry’s mother was the teenage girl who was the love toy of Frank Marshall Davis and his wife, and it seems likely, then Davis is likely Barry’s father.

Are those Pratt’s, cousins of Romney?

Wrong. There was room. There was a rentable cottage behind 6085 Kalanianole.

That was the address given in the birth announcement. Of course, there is no evidence they ever actually resided there — as a family or otherwise.

The property belonged to Orland Scott Lefforge, a professor at the U of H. Maybe they planned to rent the cottage before they broke up. Or maybe they were never an item to being with, and the cottage and its address were just part of the cover-up (of FMD's actual fatherhood).

Wasn’t there speculation that structure was housing various Communist red diaper babies? Maybe Barak Obama II and Barry Davis were bunkmates there.

You are showing me an image of an outbuilding that dates from the last few years, what was there in 1960 who knows?

Orland Scott Lefforge purchased the property in 1958. They had an address elsewhere in Hawaii, so yes, I imagine they were the landlords.

The only citations I've seen reference the birth announcement.

Of course, Lefforge could have been the local commissar, but neither J Edgar Hoover nor Herb Philbrick have weighed in.

I can’t give Obama credit for much, but at least he has stayed married and is raising his kids, unlike a lot of people that grow up in broken homes.

He knows Michelle would whoop his behind if he ever mentioned divorce or anything of the sort.

Linky???

We already knew that.

The relevant question, if any, is, what was their relationship to the sweet young couple from whom, supposedly, had just popped (or was soon to pop) Little Barry Bastard?

So there’s nothing I can tell you. That image of the outbuilding came from an article in an Hawaii newspaper in recent years, it showed images of every home that zero had lived in in Honolulu.
I do recall one reference to an outbuilding many moons ago, apparently it was described to a researcher who commented on one of the long threads that there was an ‘unceilinged shed’ on the property when Lefforge purchased the house. It hardly sounded like something one could live in, and I cannot tell where the freeper got the information.

You would have become aware by now surely, that if this person we are discussing, was actually born in Hawaii, there wouldn’t be any problems now.
He doesn’t claim to be natural-born, he claims to be native-born.
He appears not to show the slighest concern that the man whom he claims was his father, was an african native from Kenya.

And now, not only do we have the neighbour who lived next door who said she never saw a child, we also have the daughter of the Pratt family, for whom it appears Stanley Armour was working, saying that their daughter didn’t have a child.

Think about it. Was ‘their daughter’ Ann S Obama, the girl sitting next to the kenyan student at the Nachmannofs? The student who was enrolled at the U of HI from Fall of 1960, and Stanley Ann Dunham was nowhere in sight?

The Kenyan Impostor’s biography is a KGB legend for a planted mole.

I have no idea...but it appears that the Dunhams shared the house with the owner of the furniture store he was working for. I don’t have access to a Honolulu Polk from 19661-1962 to search the pages for the letter ‘P’ but I imagine the name Pratt would be there.

Obama’s life story is like a windshield that's been chipped by a small stone. The crack starts as a small chip, and truth, like grains of sand, drop into the crack when its cold. Then the glass gets hot and expands. More cracks. More grains of truth, more cracks.

We have come a long way since 2008. His life story is a collection of fractured lies and forged documents. In every video of Arpaio and Zullo, they appear so calm and confident. Zullo says the info will be breathtaking. I think we may see the windshield split in half after the next few grains of sand.

It’s a snip from a Hawaii directory I picked up from Google images. I kept it because it looked interesting, and showed the name of the furniture store where Stanley Armour worked. I had no idea they shared a house with the employer until today.
