The release of two sets of State Department documents through a Freedom of Information Act request has given new life to the puzzle of how Barack Obama could have attended third grade in Hawaii, as claimed by a classmate, while he has stated he was living in Indonesia at the time.
The indication Obama attended third grade in 1969 at Noelani Elementary School in Honolulu comes from an old photograph made public by classmate Scott Inoue. The informal photo shows Obama and Inoue against a background of what appears to be Christmas drawings by school children posted on a classroom bulletin board.
"The photo shows Barack Obama's arm around me in the third grade at Noelani in 1969," Inoue told WND. "My mother wrote that inscription on the bottom of the photograph at the time the picture was taken."
The inscription reads: "Scott & Barry 3rd grade 1969."
Scott Inoue says this photos shows him with Barack Obama Jr. as classmates at Noelani Elementary School in Honolulu in 1969.

The Won flunked third grade!
Dumplin Ears’ non-evil twin?
Doesn’t he look too old and big for 3rd grade anyway? Unless he flunked some grades?
We did the same thing to my step-daughter when we moved from TN to SC. She had been just barely old enough to start 1st grade in TN and she hadn't done well. Next fall when we enrolled her in school in SC, we discussed it with the school and put her in 1st grade again. Since nobody knew her at the new school there was no social stigma of being labeled a failure by her peers.
And yet FReepers have the nerve to ridicule WND, calling them World Nut Daily. They have been doing yeoman’s work on this issue.
Comm’on this is BS!
Lots of kids transplanted from one school system to another, repeat early grades.
Just think that if you were a muzzie in
Indonsia indoctrinated in everything Anti-American, how you might have to be re-schooled to wish to become the president of the United States, even though you had no clue as to what that meant.
And he still has no clue!
I got flamed yesterday for a similar remark. Later, I read that the Freeper who did that is writing a book (negative) about "Birthers". I am not a "Birther" but there are a lot of problems with Obozo's eligibility. All 3 branches of government "know" that he is not eligible, but nothing is done.
And I personally like Farrah. Have a soft spot in my heart for Lebanese Christians. They have a unique prespective on Islam.
What? Bambi did not lead a protest against the Christmas art??
Zero looks really big and overmatured compared to that kid. Something is wrong.
He's Kenyan, what do you expect? ;-)
Probably had to repeat third grade - confirms my hunch that he’s just not that bright......
On another note: follow the link to wnd and then read the FOIA links (two). Lots of pages of stuff about Dunham and Soetoro.
Something about 0Dumbo and this whole parent mess is wrong. Says my gut feeling.
You would think me evil if I expressed my thoughts on who 0Dumbo parents ‘really are’.
I think you’re evil anyways:) Do tell....
But seriously...Stanley has to be his mom because the family resemblance he bears to his maternal grandfather is too close.
That's all I go to say about that....
The list, ping
0 entered 5th grade when he returned to Hawaii in 1971. He graduated in 1978-79 year. He did not repeat any grades. I have checked out Scott Inoue on Facebook. He also graduated from HS in 1979 but not from Punahou. His school was Roosevelt High. There are other photos on his FB page that have been posted before but we were never sure who he was. In the Kindergarten photo from Noelani he is the boy in the front row second from the left. There is also a photo of him in 1974 with a team he played on. He is in the front row first on the left. He seems to be the same size as his team-mates and in his grown up pictures he does not seem to be a “short” Asian. However, every photo we have seen of 0 at or around this time period show him to be a very big kid for his age. Even in the kindergarten photo he seems much bigger than most of the other children. Therefore I think this photo is real but unexplainable by any known 0 timeline. He also seems to be a very nice decent guy is spite of the fact that he is thrilled to have had personal contact with 0.
