Nowhere does Maraniss say that Cindy Pratt is his lone source. At one point he does mention that Cindy had no recollection of a baby coming into the home. It is a separate passage, however, in which he states SAD and the baby never lived there. In that passage he does not mention Cindy.
Polk places SAD at that address at the time she was a student. Polk is useless in arguing that SAD brought the baby home from the hospital to that address. Their info is not that detailed. If it were, Maraniss could have used Polk to ‘prove’ SAD was living at that address at the time she gave birth. Not even to please his leftist-Obama-fan readership base will he tarnish his reputation to such a degree. Though it could not have been easy to admit, in the end he does come right out and state SAD and baby never lived there.
To the teeth-gnashing consternation of the Obots.
You mean this passage:
"That was Ann’s home address, where she had a makeshift room outside her parents’ bedroom. But she and Obama and the infant never lived there. Even if they had wanted to, there was no space. The Pratt family was still there, taking up the rest of the house. Cindy Pratt, the daughter, said that she had no memory of the Dunham’s daughter bring home an infant home. Only a few days after the boy was born, the father had to fill out immigration papers to extend his student visa. The residence he listed on those papers was 1704 Punahou Street, apartment 15.”
He doesn't mention any other sources and in the same passage he mentions Cindy Pratt as a source. And at this point the only cited source.
Yes, Stanley Ann, Barack Sr. and the baby never lived there together. But it is indisputable that Stanley Ann lived there before the birth and her parents continued to live there after the birth. Maraniss seems to be implying that Stanley Ann, Barack Sr. and the baby lived at 1704 Punahou Street. IMO,I doubt it.
It seems that the only point you are able to make is that when she filed out the birth certificate form she listed her parents address as hers. Something she also did on her passport applications.
