I see my face, framed within
Pop's black-framed glasses
And know he's laughing too.
I was intrigued by old Frank, with his books and whiskey breath and the hint of hard-earned knowledge behind the hooded eyes. The visits to his house always left me feeling vaguely uncomfortable, though, as if I were witnessing some complicated, unspoken transaction between the two men, a transaction I couldn't fully understand. The same thing I felt whenever Gramps took me downtown to one of his favorite bars, in Honolulu's red-light district.
Funny how not even Alan Keyes, himself a birther, claims such a conversation took place.
I have very little doubt it actually occurred,
I'm sure you also have little doubt that pigs will fly from time to time, and that pink elephants exist.
BTW, you know that old bridge in New York City connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan? I own it. Are you interested in buying it?
Oh, and while we're at it, I'll through in one of the Statin Island Ferries. I own those too.
Man I sure have missed a lot. How was that ever determined? Also is this Ann/Anna Obama in this picture? If so which one is she?
Who is Anna Obama?
He’s a troll, no question about it.
The affirmative action fraud was inserted into that picture ... otherwise the teammates are a small headed species with whom Barry played hoops.
I haven’t been following this close enough either the past couple of months. I’ve been working on some other things. Now I do recall an Anna but I assumed Stanley Ann just used various names. Now it seems that is not the case.
“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”Sir Walter Scott
To create a deception worthy of belief one must be able to create plausible details that help create the illusion of truth. It is the details that people listen to and remember and the one deceiving is obligated to remember these detail in order to avoid having their lies exposed. In order to successfully perpetuate deception, the liar must be willing to live that lie when necessary. Deception is a false reality imposed on a true reality. It is a fragile and complex weaving of truth, half truths’, lies and lies of omission. To successfully deceive people, one must be skilled in the art of deception. This becomes the tangled web they weave.
‘She’ is the one standing close to him at the arrival.
‘She’ is the one sitting next to him at the social gathering.
Do you mean the oriental looking women on Obama's left? How is it possibe she would have the same last name as Barack Hussien Obama Sr.? I am so confused.
Also wasn't there some speculation that the man towards the back on Obama's right hand side is Stanley Dunham?
She doesn’t appear to be ‘oriental’ as far as I can see, she is identified only as ANN/USA on the website the image came from.
‘She’ also appears in the ‘arrival image’ with the numerous lei around Senior. That group image includes Stanley Armour Dunham.
The arrival was in June, 1959.
I become a bit suspicious of Beck when he started harping about how is a "libertarian" (you know about libertarians, their the dope smoking "if it feels goooooood, do it" crowd). I became DISGUTED with Beck (to the point of unsubscribing his newsletter) when on his radio program during the 08 elections, he practically did a back flip when a caller who identified herself as a "lesbian" stated that she was voting republican (yet another reason I'm proud to be a member of the Constitution Party...unless Sarah Palin gets the nod from the Republicrats).
You are older than I; you'd think you'd be a tad bit "wiser" at your age.
Are we looking at the same person. The woman on Barack's Sr. left wearing a dark dress, dark hair and eyes that look slanted? Maybe not oriental but Hawaian.
You say in that picture she was only identified as ANN/USA. Where then did you get the following information from that you posted earlier?
You said; "this woman, identified as ANN/USA is ANN/ANNA OBAMA. She lived at the rear of the birth announcement address, the house being rented by the Dunhams. She was listed as a student."
I think it's fairly obvious from the arrival image from June, 1959, that ANN/USA was there with O Senior and Stanley Armour Dunham.
The Dunhams rented the house, ANN rented the bungalow at the rear from them.
And that was way before Stanley Ann Dunham had shown up in Hawaii. (If she EVER did.)
The problem is, everyone is so invested in the myth of 'Dreams' in which it is written that some people ARE COMPOSITES that they no longer trust their own eyes.
Do you really think his wife or daughter would put up with that?
Especially if he wasn't the one paying the bills?
My space says he is 52? That means he was born in 1958? That could change a few things.
His didn't say it didn't happen, just that he didn't remember it.
My original statement "I have very little doubt it actually occurred," provoked such an entertaining flow of responses from you that I am LOL.
I did have very little doubt that those exact words, or something similar were said. After doing some extensive research, and cross-checking, I find those were not his exact words, and that what he said was an internet rumor based on his original words.
What he actually said was this:
"What you're interested in is solving problems like jobs, and health care, and education. I'm not running to be the minister of Illinois. I'm running to be its United States Senator."
Bottom line, I was wrong, you were right. Pop open a beer, or some champagne, whatever you have on hand and celebrate.
Woo Hoo!
Thank you for providing the impetus to continue research on the origin of that rumor, and find out the truth.
assuming the scenario is only one, and plausible if unproven
yes, I do
I think Toot (the Hawaii banker, in the Island society of the 1960’s, a woman trying to make a career as a professional banker) would have chosen a daughter “married” to an African - a “marriage” created by virtue of a well placed newspaper birth ad and a Hawaii COLB - over the scandal of a reprobate husband who would insist on “family” raising the son he always wanted
Why she kept the ne’er-do-well Stanley around and worked her aXX off all her life to support him and her goofy selfish promiscuous daughter - will never be understood with all the obfuscations in the obama life history.
Ironic that the communist slacker Stan Dunham got buried in Punchbowl cemetery among American heroes, and Toot and her daughter got cremated and tossed on the rocks by the sea at a tourist pulloff stop. Maybe Stan was his blood, the women were not.
Wrong country, I'm born in Denmark, and a Norwegian friend gave me a small ceramic tile with this inscription: "You can always tell a DANE, but you can't tell 'em much!"
Lucy and I have always thought about the Panama issue like you!!
I beleive she received evidence that she was wrong and she then posted a deep apology to all Freepers regarding her previous posts that did NOT met F.R.'s standards of posting accuracy. And I agree with her on the importance of accuracy posting, which I think is that McPain IS a NBC!!!
Yes, a new member here, an "Obama 2.0"???
Or just copycatting his expression: "We are the ONE we have been waiting for!!!
WOW! That tile is a fine gift from a friend. I bet you both laughed about it at the time, too.
As to McCain, I believe he is a “native born citizen by statute”. Why? Because Immigration Services and immigration lawyers deal with the question of Panamanian-born children of U.S. military members all the time. It is explained at government sites and at sites sponsored by immigration lawyers.
I believe that the fact there is no legal statute concerning ‘Natural Born Citizenship’ has caused much of the confusion on this issue.
U.S. natural-born citizenship doesn’t require a statute - it is the only form of citizenship that DOES NOT require a law because there is no question that a child born in the U.S. to citizen parents is a U.S. citizen!
You see, the requirements to be President are just that - requirements. There is no ‘right’ to be President just because you’re born here.
