Obama doesn't say anything about what documentation Stanley Ann may have about him. You're implying that "Unlike my Mum, Ruth has all the documents . . ." refers to Obama's mother. No! It's Auma speaking about Auma's mother.

Obama recounting Auma's words about her mother doesn't magically transform them into words about Obama and his mother. But that's the sleight of hand you're trying to pull with the out of context quote and reference to the WH posting.

How do you magically transform “So of all of the Old Man’s kids, Mark’s claim is the only one that is uncontested” into “Obama’s claim is uncontested”?

> You’re implying...

I’m not implying anything, I am quoting Obama’s book.

The specific quote “Unlike my mum, Ruth has all the documents needed to prove who Mark’s father was” leads directly to the passage in question, exemplified by your posting it. A quote such as “Mark’s claim is the only one that is uncontested” is more generic and does not point directly to the passage in question.

You claim Auma’s statement is false yet offer nothing to support the claim. That’s the sleight of hand you’re trying to pull.
