“This stuff has been out there for years.”
I’ve been keeping up as best I can, but this is the first time I have seen those photos. I don’t know where “out there” is, but I’m not going to apologize for an inability to absorb all the information that is available today.
When, by the way, did you come across those photos?
“Why am I doing your research for you.”
When a person gives some very good reasons that the evidence presented at a given point in time is not persuasive, it is incumbent upon the person making the assertion to present additional facts or argument...or to take his ball and go home.
You’re not doing my research, you’re arguing your own position.
“Your own intransigence is not a shield to be used against others.”
Do what? (Mirth) Once again, I gave some good reasons that the newspaper article is not persuasive. That is hardly intransigence.
“Maybe the dissonance is elsewhere?”
Nah.
I had seen the photos when they came out, but just thought at the time that they were interesting. I do remember the story of the later photo because it was about the other boy as an adult who was shown the photo later in life.
Other than that, it had no special significance to me. It was only in the context of this story's point of losing only Obama's kindergarten records and the idea from another poster that maybe he was never there to have records to lose that drove me to go searching for the photos.
