All you have to do to copyright something is print that little "c" with a circle around it with your name and it's done.

Now a trademark is another story.

Mysteries surround the Dunham clan ... and it appears many, MANY public records have been cleansed.

Not all, though ...

Now about the Dunham’s

as reference:
Obama—>Stanley Ann-—>Stanley-—>Ralph-—>Jacob

There have been various family trees posted on the net. The Chicago Sun-Times was one source.

Ralph Waldo Emerson DUNHAM
Occupation: auto mechanic; tooling dept. of Boeing Aircraft

That really bothers me. Because it only gives a small splice of his occupational history. He was not a blue collar worker all of his adult life.

Census info:
1900 census 6 years old no occupation
1910 census 16 years old no occupation
WWI Draft Registration “Ran a cafe Owned business” in Witchita
1920 Census 26 years old auto mechanic
1930 Census He was a druggist

His father Jacob was a pharmacist

Without saying so, the narrative lends to the impression that the Dunham side of Obama’s family is a long line of blue collar workers. I call it a lie by omission. I have to wonder why the Chicago Sun-Times chose the only mention of being a mechanic as a way to present Ralph Sr to the world in 2007.

That’s not true. The Dunham line was what we would call professional as opposed to woring a trade.

Stanley made choices in life that put him on a different path. He seems to have been the exception.

No photo with granny? Is that all you got?

If I were Barry's granny, I'd hide all the pillows when he comes for a visit.

Ged'it?

I hate the delay, but if the truth comes out closer to November 4, then the Demos don’t have time to recover and the voters have a choice to vote for a person or a shadow of one.

The Demos made their bone-head decision to go with Obama. And Obama chose Biden, the last one on his Veep list . . . guess the others bowed out because they didn’t want to forever be linked to him in people’s minds.

And anyone who publicly comes out for Obama will find themselves eating crow and washing egg off their faces come November 5.

Where his white grandmother is concerned, Barack Obama talks the talk but he does not walk the walk. The presence of our investigative team in Honolulu, the first media investigation of Obama’s Hawai’i heritage in the entire presidential campaign, triggered panic attacks in Obama’s organization. Obama has suspended his campaign and plans to arrive in Hawai’i Thursday in a desperate attempt to blunt the thrust of our reporting.

Reminds me of the story of the mouse who fell in love with an elephant. As she walked through the forest one day, he decided to have sex with her. And so made the long climb up her backside, and commenced with the act. It so happened that a bee stung the elephant at the same time. "Oh!" she exclaimed.

The mouse replied with a knowing chuckle, "that's all right, dear. I'll be gentle!"

Her breaking her hip is very suspicious.

You're right! Old ladies never break their hips!

What a gaseous article! Words, just words! So many for so little, and nothing new.

Yes, Obama's families have severe dysfunctions. Only excepting, by most public evidence, his own construct of a nuclear family -- he, his wife, his two young daughters.

Yet on his parternal side -- a run-away nearly-unknown sperm-donor Dad. And then -- what a sadness it must be for Obama -- at those most sensitive years of 10-11, Obama's own mom runs away -- off to her own dear career overseas, and dumps him with 'Toot', his mother's mother.

And if one researches the Obama families, going back one finds more stories of run-away parents, children abandoned. A family history of full of "cut-off" relationships, where running away from responsibility is a family heritage.

I recommend a review of the work of family therapist Dr. Frank Bowen. BOWEN THEORY

Has anyone ever seen or interviewed this woman? Does she really exist? I find it strange that if the woman is on the verge of death her great grandchildren aren’t at her side. Obamaman is the real racist in all this. He is ashamed of her (if she exists) and will not have his family near her. SHAME on BAMMY.

Let’s just say, the timing of it is suspicious.

Are you suggesting that a) she didn't break her hip; or b) that somebody helped her break her hip?

Sometimes, p4, a broken hip is just that. They're not the sort of thing a person can schedule.

“How is it that he plans to unite America when he can’t even unite his family?”

Good point. This is very odd to me.
When I found out my grandmother had lung cancer, I made it a point to go out and see her with MY KIDS, her great-grandchildren, so that I could get pictures of them with her. I find it VERY strange, that his children did not spend any time with their grandmother when they were in Hawaii.

You are right in that accidents do happen...whether they are deliberate or not I cannot say.

I bet the “secret” has to do with Obama’s grandfather and “uncle Frank”.

Commies typically targeted gays as being easy to intimidate and control... Obama being a self described outcast with an AC/DC commie mentor as a teen and Commie sympathizer parents and guardians would be a perfect choice to groom by the KGB.

So what's the secret truths?

Could it be that Obama, Senior isn't his father?

That he was born in Kenya?

A few months ago, his grandmother who lives in Kenya said B. Hussein 0bama was born in Kenya.

Attorneys are agents of the court and if there is something amiss they have to bring it to attention of the authorities.
