Your comments have caused me to think afresh about that ‘wedding.’ There has to be a reason that Michelle Obama said Stanley Ann was, “very young and very single,” when she had Little Barry. MO wouldn’t have referred to Obama’s mother as “very single,” if she were married. Michelle knows more about that situation than you or I do, and she denies the wedding.
Then there’s the language used in Dreams. It’s a very weird description. The only rational reason for Ayers to put in such strange, iffy comments about the purported wedding is that it didn’t happen, and he was guarding against the discovery of that fact. Otherwise, just state that it was a simple civil ceremony. If in fact it was, then that’s the way to describe it. But to have Obama engage in a long winded hem and haw about a “bill of particulars,” that he wanted no part of—that’s cover for something hinky.
Indeed Obama Sr must have reported a wedding to the university. He may have mentioned it elsewhere. But when it comes to facts, I’m with Michelle on this one. SA was very young and very single when she had Little Barry.
The 1964 divorce papers lists her marriage as February, 1961 on Maui. Man that’s an old conspiracy.
Single mother as it is used today often means raising the child without input from the father (married or not).
Where did she spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in 1961. Another black hole?
Can you list all the people who were specifically asked “did you see her between November 1960 and August, 1961” and responded no?
