Father spoke of having Obama adopted
Boston Globe ^ | 7 July 2011 | Sally Jacobs

Posted on 07/07/2011 6:03:06 AM PDT by Fractal Trader

In the spring of 1961, President Obama’s father revealed a plan for his unborn son that might have changed the course of American political history.

The elder Barack H. Obama, a sophomore at the University of Hawaii, had come under scrutiny by federal immigration officials who were concerned that he had more than one wife. When he was questioned by the school’s foreign student adviser, the 24-year-old Obama insisted that he had divorced his wife in his native Kenya. Although his new wife, Ann Dunham, was five months pregnant with their child - who would be called Barack Obama II - Obama declared that they intended to put their child up for adoption.

“Subject got his USC wife ‘Hapai’ [Hawaiian for pregnant] and although they were married they do not live together and Miss Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away,’’ according to a memo describing the conversation with Obama written by Lyle H. Dahling, an administrator in the Honolulu office of what was then called the US Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Obama, the Subject, and his USC, or United States citizen, wife, obviously, did not put their baby up for adoption. Whether the young couple actually considered such a step, or the elder Obama made the story up in order to appease immigration officials who at the time were considering his request for an extension of his stay in the United States, is unclear. Family members on both sides of the marriage now say they never heard any mention of adoption.

But his statement provides a unique glimpse into the relationship between the president’s parents and the fragility of his connection to the father whom he would little know.

This article is full of innaccuracies.

Obama Sr. did not “date” Stanley Ann Dunham. Except for Neil Abercrombie(who has lied repeatedly about Obama), there is no record of any of his friends ever hearing him mention her or seeing them together. Stanley Ann got pregnant at the latest when she was 17 about a month after she started classes at the University of Hawaii.

There is no record of them getting married. Obama Sr. and Stanley Ann never lived together, there was no family. Stanley Ann was in Seattle with Barack Jr. in August 1961 and didn't return to Hawaii until after Barack Sr. had left for Harvard.

When Barack Sr. got a high school girl pregnant while at Harvard he sent her to London for an abortion. This is part of his official record. Unless Obama Sr. had been pressured or paid to be named as the father he surely would have recommended Stanley Ann get an abortion.

There is no evidence that Obama Sr. ever saw Obama Jr. except the one uncomfortable, rushed picture at the airport. At this time Obama Sr. had been married to Ruth Nidesand for 5 years and had 3 children with her. And Stanley Ann had been married 5 years to Lolo Soetoro.

Clearly Obama senior was a cad and bigamist as well as a Marxist. SAD wasn’t exactly mother of the year either and he was raised far more by his grandparents than birth mother. The key point however is that Barry Sotero’s father was NOT a US citizen...even by Barry’s own admission. Therefore Barry Sotero is NOT a natural born US citizen and is constitutionally ineligible to be POTUS.

“Dreams From My Father”. Who could be inspired by such a lowlife?

This is false. There are several documents, official and unofficial, which document the marriage and the marriage license records in the Hawaiian island of Maui on February 2, 1961. If you still have doubts, you can read my earlier posts on the subject.

I think the meme: 'Natural Born Citizen = born of two Citizen parents' is starting to spread. So, sooner or later the MSM will run a story that Obama is not the child of Barack Sr., but some other black citizen.

What is the story on this meeting at the airport? Is it from the book Dreams of my Father? The source of the photo in the Boston Globe is Obama for America. I think I read somewhere that the picture was photoshopped. “Awkward” describes the picture as well as a real or imagined event.

Technically, Obama was illegitimate. This raises the question of whether the illegitimate child naturally follows the citizenship of the mother or the father ... if in the former case, it would make Obama a natural born bastard.

This is amazing and the timing suspicious.

Was this adoption information redacted and if not how did this reporter get it, or did she just hold this back to hype her book a week before it goes on sale, which begs the question of what else is she holding back?

At one point the author has quotes she obtained form an interview with a still living, but unnamed by request, INS investigator regarding much more definitive conclusions that BHO I was, in fact, still married in Kenya and in fact, no doubt, a bigamist!

Oh, by the way, just when things are heating up over BHO II’s NBC status as dual citizen, being illegitimate would preclude BHO II from being a UK subject under the BNA of 1948.

Mysteriously, this article has lots of quotes from long-gone Gibbs regarding this adoption statement from BHO I, meaning that the writer has been keeping this under wraps from some time.

“Dreams from my Father”: Adoption! Great narrative there...

It’s interesting that they’re still pushing a couple of myths. They keep saying Barak Sr. left when Obama was 2 years old. There’s still some confusion about how old Barak Sr. was and what year he was born. It casts doubt on whether Barak Sr. knew that he had a kid or whether he knew SAD kept the baby. It also gives a clearer perspective on Michelle Obama’s statement that SAD was very single when she gave birth. Barak Sr. apparently never lived as man and wife with SAD and he was not around when and wherever the baby was born. It almost looks like SAD might have been in a Salvation Army home ... or in Washington state somewhere.

If that ain’t the worst photoshop I’ve seen yet, I don’t know what st. How long is Obama Sr’s left arm - 6 feet? How big is his hand? Bigger than his foot?

Geesh...

There’s another photo here http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Ann_Dunham_%281942-1995%29/pictures. Looks to be in front of a Christmas tree on Christmas morning.

Assuming, of course, that that is Barry 0 and senior 0 with Stanley.

Was there a Salvation Army home in either Seattle or Vancouver in 1961?

Is that fat kid Obama. Doesn’t really look much like him. And what’s up with SAD and the levitating Christmas present?? Barak certainly didn’t celebrate Christmas and it’s not clear that Mrs. Soetoro would have either.

““Subject got his USC wife ‘Hapai’ [Hawaiian for pregnant] and although they were married they do not live together and Miss Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away,’’

MISS DUNHAM huh? So, they call a married woman - a PREGNANT married woman - “Miss” and by her maiden name?

And although it states, by obamas own father, that the couple DO NOT live together, the inference is still made that the “family” was together for two years. Upside down land.

Oh my, now we’re being invited to have pity on barry bassturd, what with Moosechelle storming back to Chicago and the stories about how poor little barry was close to being abandoned to adoption. Something tells me there’s astroturf clinging to the backside of all this axelrod crap.

This scenario is a curve that fits the available data points (using mathematics curve-fitting analogy) as well any presented.

The Globe seems to have the background. Remember they released the original set of INS FOIA records a few days after the LFBC came out. But they had them since 2009...

What else do they have?

Here's another myth:

“...Susan Botkin Blake, a high school friend of Dunham’s, describes how entranced her friend was with her small son during a visit to Seattle just weeks after he was born.”

“She was wildly in love with Barack Obama, her husband, and very excited about her future with him,’’ recalled Blake. “From my perspective, she had no equivocation about her baby in the slightest. She was thrilled with him.’’

While she may have been happy about her son, this business that she was looking forward to a future with sociopath bigamist Barry Sr. is obviously a complete lie, as the bulk of the article makes plain. However, it's possible that SAD was telling her Seattle friends this fable because the truth was too uncomfortable.

or in Washington state somewhere.

Or more likely, in Canada.
