The Summer of 1981
The New Media Journal ^ | Oct 6, 2009 | Paul R. Hollrah

Posted on 10/06/2009 8:53:08 AM PDT by NewMediaJournal

On Page 118 of Barack Obama’s memoir, Dreams from My Father, he tells of his arrival in New York to attend Columbia University and of the events that took place during that summer...the summer of 1981.

But wait a minute. How can this be?

Although Obama fails to mention it in either of his memoirs...not in Dreams from My Father and not in The Audacity of Hope...he traveled to Indonesia and Pakistan during the summer of 1981.

So what's your point?

He didn't really go to Pakistan? Or to Columbia?

In the Summer of '74, I went to Europe, and to New Jersey. It was not mutually exclusive.

Of course, I pierced the time-space continuum to do so.

artistic license. it's disclaimed in the introduction, I believe.

Lawyers can find a way to do anything.

Where did he get the money for the drugs that he admits doing, including expensive cocaine? An answer suggests itself.

The Obama is not bound by your mortal rules on time, space, dimension and causality. That is how he was able to be born at two separate Honolulu hospitals, yet never leave a trail of evidence, birth records or maternity bills at either.

It looks like Obama has a long history of delegating things he is incapable of taking care of himself, and let us not forget his history of lying (right to our faces). He need to be vetted...by us.

we know where Michelle was in the summer of 1984. She was in her Daddy lap watching Carl Lewis at age 20 in the Olympias.

artistic license

His whole campaign and administration have been "artistic (and historical) license."

I have decided that Obama is not a politician, but rather an 'artist.'

From a wikipedia article, artistic license is "the distortion or complete ignorance of fact, ignoring the conventions of grammar or language, or the changing of an established fact that an artist may undertake in the name of art."

Isn't that just about a perfect fit?

And not one mention of how you go from sleeping in the streets to affluent colleges and being able to afford foreign trips.

That’s pretty creepy (but it explains a lot about Michelle!)

” Where did he get the money for the drugs that he admits doing, including expensive cocaine? “

When your best friend and roommate for years , Sohale Siddiqi ,
is an admitted drug dealer-freebasing is so much easier.
With no evidence of rehab and knowing Barry’s weak
and self indulgent character , it’s logical to wonder if he ever kicked .
The media naturally has no such interest.
Barry could show up in public with white powder all over his face and they would say he just ate a beignet from Cafe du Monde.
Every time I see the Joker picture-I see a face full of blow.

All terrorists are narcissistic.

I was gonna say, Barry is several years my senior, and I started college around that time. Something wrong with the timeline here...

True, but some of them relate to the audience. Obama relates to his groupies.

Umm yes, I would think that Ayers was hanging in NTC in the summer of 1981. Remember:

OCTOBER 20, 1981 Brinks robbery in which several members of the Weather Underground stole over $1 million from a Brinks armored car near Nyack, New York. The robbers murdered 2 police officers and 1 Brinks guard. Several others were wounded.

Ths big question is where was his little protegee Barack ON 10/20/1981?
