Didn’t he write a letter to the Kapi’olani Medical Center saying he was born there?
Sorry for the misnomer. I have seen it put both ways. At Harvard, there is no Master’s thesis in the Arts and Science degree programs. The degree is usually given after completion of required courses and passing general exam.
It’s a good question. He may have done, although I can’t immediately put my finger on it. Also, it depends what you make of that mysterious letter to the Hawaiian hospital, posted on the website and used for fundraising, then taken down. Did Obama write that, or not? Still no answer.
What’s more telling to me is the on-line COLB. It was posted by an anonymous third party on Daily Kos, which is not an Obama web site. I’m pretty sure that Obama has NEVER spoken directly about this COLB, or said that it was real, but has allowed his flunkies to do so.
The nearest it came was the assertion that it was genuine on the FightTheSmears website, which was sponsored by Obama but still has deniability—i.e., he could explain that his friends and flunkies were mistaken about it and he forgot to correct them. And, of course, FightTheSmears has now vanished.
Interesting, because Obama has not hesitated to lie about other matters which are less legally dangerous. For instance, he has said that “I was NEVER a Muslim,” which is clearly an outright lie, since he was born a Muslim, adopted a Muslim, trained as a Muslim, studied the Qran, went to the mosque for prayers, etc. He could have said “I am not a Muslim,” and there would be no way to disprove that. But religion is a private matter, in modern thinking a matter of opinion not fact, so he was safe in saying that.
Without a doubt?
Wow, it's really simple.
Just call the US Marshals to escort President Biden to his office, and we're done?
Amazing.
My husband has been long haul trucking for over 30 years and I constantly have to correct his sense of distance, lol.
When he tells me the rest area is only 15 miles, rest assured it will usually always be atleast a minimum of an hour before the potty break! :)
He was NOT an East-West Center grantee, though he did associate with them as part of the group at Atherton Hall on the campus. Not being an East-West Center grantee meant that he was living on a very small stipend without assistance from the US government. Later there was some assistance as "fallout money" in 1960, but still it was very little. In essence, Obama lived in poverty. An article by Michael Dobbs in The Washington Post, states that Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, provided most of the financial support in Obama Sr's early years in the United States, according to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University. According to a letter on file in the Mboya papers at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, "most" of Obama Sr.'s early expenses in the United States were covered by an international literacy expert named Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, who had traveled widely in Kenya. Kirk wrote to Mboya in May 1962 to request additional funds to "sponsor Barack Obama for graduate study, preferably at Harvard." She said she would "like to do more" to assist the young man but had two stepchildren ready for college. (Source: Wikipedia and Washington Post.)
This is the first that I've read these names. Does anybody know anything about them? Is this a credible site (source)?
LOL, do I detect a bit of sarcasm there?
Who paid his bar tabs?
Yes, it appears so BUT whitehouse WILL NOT CONFIRM that the letter is real. As with all else Obama, it’s a mystery
Besides that falls under Al Taqqiyah...
Not just Panamanians -- everybody. A real, tree ripened peach is just about the best thing you can imagine, but unless you live near the source you never experience it. I get so mad at my husband. He is always buying nectorines (a fuzzless derivative of a peach) in the winter. They look gorgeous and taste awful. He's always fooled by his imagination when he sees the blushing skin of the nectorine and thinks that it is going to be juicy and ripe when he cuts into it. ARRrggghh! If either peaches or nectorines are hard to the touch, just leave them in the market. You are sure to be disappointed, no matter how pretty their skins look. The Michigan peaches should be coming in a week, or so. If I were to head to Georgia and South Carolina now, their wonderful peaches would already be gone and the stands closed. You are making me hungry, Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer) !

Well, I was really thinking more about the length of the drive. Some have speculated that Ann’s friend actually picked them up in San Francisco, rather than Seattle on her way back from Santa Cruz. Again, my laziness prevents me from getting out, or Googling, a map, but my gut (from having lived and traveled in the area) is that Santa Cruz is somewhat less than 180 miles from San Francisco — and that would take more than 4 hours to drive in 1960. For one thing you probably would take the Coast Highway 1, or slightly inland CA Hwy 101. Hwy 1 is very twisty, although scenic, but it would take forever. 101 is not quite so bad, but it was still not a high speed highway — lots of stops and starts as it wends its way through little towns. Speed limit was between 55-60 mph. There was nothing that could be called a “Freeway” in Northern CA in those days. The great North South Interstate 5 had not been completed in 1961. In any case, it was not near Santa Cruz.
Jes sayin’...
Sounds like anybody who would...the kindness of strangers...Elizabeth Mooney Kirk...
Back in the early 60’s it would have been about a 2 hr drive from SC to SF.
Beautiful country unless you are in a semi.
Thinking about Young Adult (YA) literature of even ten years later (Blossom Elfman's The Girls of Huntington House, 1972) I would imagine she'd have been sent to a home for unwed mothers. I'm trying to think about how the culture of that time was, and this would seem to be very likely.
Elizabeth Mooney Kirk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, searchElizabeth Mooney Kirk (February 23 1914 - June 29 2004) (known by many as Betty) spent her entire life advancing adult literacy. She worked with Frank Laubach using his "Each One Teach One" reading method. She traveled and taught worldwide including India, Africa and United States. While working in Kenya, she provided the financial support for Barack Obama, Sr. to come to the United States to study.
Kirk co-authored many books with Dr. Frank Laubach and son Dr. Robert Laubach, which are still in use to teach adults to read English. In this role, her work included running a mission boarding school in India and for two years she was head of a project for the British Government in Kenya training teachers and adults to read in some of the tribal languages.
In Kirk's work in Kenya, she often helped find sponsorships for promising students study in the United States. An article by Michael Dobbs in The Washington Post, states that Kirk, provided most of the financial support in Obama Sr's early years in the United States, according to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University. Kirk is also mentioned in Barack Obama's 1995 book, Dreams from My Father (pg 427 hardcover) as writing college recommendation letters for Obama Sr.
Kirk's grandfather was Addison Clark who with brother founded Addran Male and Female Academy which became Texas Christian University. She earned a master¹s degrees from George Washington University and Syracuse University. In 1960 Kirk married Elmer LeValley Kirk. They lived for a time in West Africa before moving to California. Kirk taught school in the Oakland area for many years before retiring to central California.

...
Elmer was preceded in death by his first wife of 20 years, Gladys Hawley Kirk, who passed away in 1958; his second wife of 44 years, Sara Elizabeth “Betty” Mooney Kirk, who passed away in 2004; his brothers, J. Ralston Kirk, W. Alan Kirk and Maurice D. Kirk; and a grandson, Aaron E Kirk. ...
I’m thinking of a “Port of Entry” with US Customs at SFO in Aug 1961, under Obama or Dunham ...
