The Marriage of Obama's Parents: 'In Name Only'?
American Thinker ^ | March 8, 2014 | Shawn Glasco

Posted on 03/08/2014 6:07:03 AM PST by Flotsam_Jetsome

So when did Ann's and Obama Sr.'s "whatever happened happened fast" wedding happen? For no apparent reason, confusion abounds among Obama's biographers over the wedding date:

1. Dreams claims that Ann and Obama Sr. were in married "in 1960"; similarly, Mendell's 2007 book claims that the couple were married "sometime in late 1960" when they "slipped off alone to the island of Maui"; and both Obamaland (2008) by Ron Jacobs (with contributor David Maraniss) and a 2007 Washington Post article claim that the two were married "late in 1960."

2. A 2007 Chicago Tribune article vaguely claims that Ann and Obama Sr. were married "six months before" Barack's birth on Aug 4, 1961 -- or, in other words, sometime in early 1961.

3. An April 2008 Time article by Amanda Ripley, as does Maraniss's August 2008 article, gives a specific date of February 2, 1961 for the wedding, apparently based on Ann's and Obama Sr.'s 1964 divorce records – mysteriously appearing on the web. But since fake documents have been known to appear on the web, Obama's biographers, Ripley and Maraniss, might want to verify the 1964 divorce documents – especially since a Feb. 2, 1961 marriage date for "Ann and Obama Sr." wasn't reported in any Honolulu Advertiser or Honolulu Star-Bulletin marriage lists from February 1961. Take the February 8, 1961 Star-Bulletin, which listed eighteen marriages from Feb. 3, Feb. 4, and Feb. 6, and no Feb. 2 marriages, and the February 7, 1961 Advertiser, which listed eleven marriages from Feb. 2 to 4, including two Feb. 2 marriages.

Fascinating. Simply breathtaking the incredible insanity that has been done unto US thanks to our willing and brainless cooperation!

Are we really this stupid in all of our now fundamentally unbalanced and unchecked levels of government?

Or have we been made to quietly surrender behind tightly closed doors? If so, what threat could explain our newly mandated new normal?

Or is this the culmination of decades of slow, steady, incremental progress and we're now poised for that final cascade into oblivion?

What happened? What explains how Fate's call to lead got dropped and swapped for the lemmings' last call to follow dear leader?

More importantly, what can break the spell and snap US out of this insanity long enough for US to save ourselves and others from the poisons of the enemy within??

As an Australian, I can't begin to try to answer any of that, but I think I can safely say that the long road back could be shortened somewhat by bringing to justice the self-confessed author of 'Dreams from my Father' for terrorist activities.

As someone who looks for humor wherever I can find it, your post is funny enough that ordinarily you would have had me rolling on the floor howling with laughter.

I've heard that good humor mixes truth and the absurd in a funny way and your post is hilarious, since there's fat chance of any of that happening.

Too bad the joke's on US, though, and worse, it sounds like a sad, lost it all, crying in my beer, country song.

Too bad we can't just figure out how to play it backwards and get our country back, right?

Win!

there might be some comments on this thread that provide a clue, I think it’s a matter of ‘who are your heroes’

Yep, in a cult of personalities, like we've become, that's always how it is.

Thanks for the link and thanks for adding to our education!

Though our time appears to be short and the hour is late, better late than too late...or not at all.

To all things a season and I sense a change is a comin'. Ready or not...

Obama isn’t running for president. Hillary is.

This is a rathole briarpatch of no consequence.
