I would LOVE to see a shrink’s notes on him.’

We cannot even get regular medical records.

This man is more of a mystery than the contents of “chicken nuggets” or spam.

“...at a time when interracial unions were still illegal in many parts of America.”

Interracial marriages were ILLEGAL in the US in the 60’s? Frowned on, maybe but ILLEGAL?

I’m not so sure she did. It does say she made a career out of living in Indonesia, even after she split with Obama’s adoptive father. I think Obama only went to live with his grandparents later so that they could pay for his education in an American collage. Up until that time, obama was just as is suspected, an Indonesian citizen living in indonesia up until it was time to attend collage.
NObama came back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents when he was 10 years old. His sister Maya is 9 years younger, so I wonder if he was “acting out” with his narcissistic attitude and Stanley Ann couldn’t control him any longer?
Grandma got him into the very fancy- very expensive prep school in Hawaii. I don’t know the name of it.
Sure would like to see those school records, also. Bet it shows him as an Indonesian citizen.

“.. she explained she had to put her own studies on hold to pay for Obama’s.
“The major reason for the delay in my return to Hawaii [was] the need to work to put my son through college,” she wrote.”’

I still maintain that NObama was registered in all his colleges as a Foreign Aid Student, which would have gotten him a discount.

Even with this “discount, Stanley Ann had to “give up” stuff to put him into college.
I think Grandma paid for more of it that Stanley Ann did.

And there in that one bit of information is the evidence that Jr lied yet again! When he was interviewed after being named Editor of the Harvard Law Review he said he managed to pay off his student loans for his second year of Oxy and the two years at Columbia with the two jobs he had after graduating from Columbia. Only problem is that his first job after Columbia was with Business Investment Corp. paying $15,000/yr and the next job with the Nader based NYCPIRG paid less than $10,000/yr and he was living in NYC. Guess he had to save his dollars to make his 1986 trip to Kenya, so he let his mom pay off his student loans.

Here obama’s parents are, “married.”

Like billyblythe’s ol’ mom and dad were “married.”

BOTH of those daddy’s were already MARRIED. (Well, we’re really not sure who fathered billyblythe; but billyMama claims it was Mr. Blythe. Since he was already DEAD, she picked a good “dad” out of the bag. HE, however, was already MARRIED.)

He attended Panahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979.

“Cervical cancer is of the same origin and prostate cancer is probably a disease of promiscuity as well. “

You are saying 70-80% of men are promiscuous? You have your head firmly planted where the sun doesn’t shine. I am a prostate cancer survivor and I guarantee I am not promiscuous. And neither are the majority of men.

Speak not of what you know not!

From what I have read Ms.Dewey didn’t know Ann until she returned to the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1972 to get her M.A. in Anthropology. When Ann attended U of H in the 60’s she received her B.A. in math. There have been no statements or comments from people who may have been students with her when she attended U of H in the 60’s, not even fellow classmates from the infamous Russian language class!

“Yep. Most likely viruses carried to her ovaries by the ‘issue’ of her partners.”

I don’t know where you are getting your medical information, but promiscuity is not a risk factor for ovarian cancer. Cervical cancer is caused by a virus that is transmitted sexually, but ovarian cancer has independent risk factors.

Age is the biggest, with most cases occurring in women who have reached menopause. Fertility drugs also seem to be a risk factor. Girls who develop early, and postpone childbearing until after 30 are at increased risk (it appears to be related to the number of complete menstrual cycles) and around 10% can be traced to a gene mutation.

Ms. Dunham may or may not have been promiscuous (I have no way to know this) but it is highly unlikely that her sexual activities were the cause of her ovarian cancer.

Ann did in fact receive her Phd. The University of Hawaii at Manoa had a presentation about her and her work at the end of September. You can still read about it at “The Honolulu Advertiser” website. Oops correction you could still read about the presentation Wednesday, today the article is no longer there!
Once Ann returned to Indonesia in 1974 she dropped Maya off with her in-laws and went off to do her studying for her M.A.

In this article, it mentions her thesis "Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia : surviving against all odds," via UMI Dissertation Services, published in 1992 by Univ. of Hawaii.

There are appearantly only 2 libraries with AVAILABLE copies for check-out in libraries here in the US (8 worldwide), Worldcat. I've already made an InterLibrary Loan request - but it may take weeks before I get it. Can't find any digital copies online... although it may be somewhere I haven't looked yet.

TWO are available for checkout at Ohio University. It's also on microfiche at University of Hawaii at Manoa, call number "MICROFICHE D32047"

There might be some important facts, previously overlooked, in the "About the Author" section -- facts that could be helpful to Donofrio, Berg or Keyes in upcoming court cases. In particular, data about Obama's birth, youth or dual citizenship.

If a Freeper is nearby and can access this from these libraries, please PM me and check it out ASAP (before the remaining copies are checked out or disappear)

Sorry for the cross-post...

Maya was born August 15,1970 making her 9 years and some odd days younger than Jr. When they were in Hawaii in 1972 to 1974 she was a typical little sister standing in front of the t.v. so he couldn’t watch basketball games and the two of them would sit in a rocking chair making it rock back and forth until it tipped over. The summer of one year they all(except Grandpa) did a cross America trip going by Greyhound and they stopped in Chicago to visit Madelyn’s younger brothers Jon and Charles Payne. One of the threads posted a picture of the visit but I can’t pinpoint which thread it was.

The scariest thing about Obama is that he didn’t spend his childhood as a typical American kid. We all grew up saying the Pledge of Allegiance in class, prayers at sports events, celebrating Christmas with plays about Joseph and Mary, playing little league baseball, watching football, eating hot dogs, celebrating the 4th of July. Things that made us all patriotic, America loving citizens. He did none of this and was a foreigner.

As we look for answers things do have a habit of disappearing with increasing frequency! The article that was on-line for the seminar at U of H at Manoa was still there Wednesday and now it is gone. The same thing happened for an article they had posted entitled “Saying Good-bye to a Mother” Why remove articles about Doctor Stnaley Ann Dunham?
