I “thought” Barry wrote that HIS birth certificates shot record and his mother’s also......were MISSING from the family records
Seems this might have been about the time (1980/81) he was gathering documents to get himself a social security card and/or passport (need shot records) or admission/ scholarship to Occidental
If he never found his personal records - what did he do?
He writes as if he never confronted his mother or grandmother (huh) because he couldn’t bear to know (know what)...”maybe if she had lived I would have asked her” (huh? She died in 1995 - Barry visited her in Pakistan-twice- she was dying at Sloan Kettering in NYC while Barry was community organizing in Chicago and he never went to visit her- she went to Honolulu to die and he came only after she was dead and cremated
Maybe got his scholarships and traveled on his Indonesian passport under his adopted paperwork identifying him as Barry Soetero. And got really angry at his white relatives for not being truthful with him about his past, which he thereafter proceeded to expand on and embellish profoundly.
” And got really angry at his white relatives for not being truthful with him about his past, which he thereafter proceeded to expand on and embellish profoundly.”
Anger with his white grandparents is a constant theme in his book.
He called his grandfather in so many words -a typical white liar.
He trusted his grandmother’s accounts of things more often that his grandfather’s.
It’s odd that his grandmother never shared the newspaper interview with his father
and in fact, kept it hidden.
Page 21 DFMY-
Grandfather had “ a tendency to rewrite history to conform with the image he wished for himself.”
Sounds like Barry is projecting.
“ And yet I don’t entirely dismiss Gramp’s recollection of events as a convenient bit of puffery,
another act of white revisionism.”
Nice.
I don’t think I made my point entirely clear in my previous post re Matthews and O’Reilly.
Both of them take as fact an unsourced and undocumented, no detail ,49 yr old newspaper clipping as
proof positive that Barry was born in Hawaii.
They also state that “ birthers “ believe the notice is phony and was planted 49 years ago as part of the 50 yr Obama conspiracy.
If they take this undocumentation as fact,
then they have to consider an actual interview with Barry’s father as fact.
An interview where the new father and groom neglects to mention his new wife and baby.
Obama makes all kinds of excuses as to the omission.
Most likely the reporter’s fault.
O’Reilly claimed last night that he could find the name of Obama’s birth hospital within 24 hours.
But, he doesn’t feel like it
and anyone who has doubts about
Barry’s still unreleased BC ( a fact B’OR acknowledged ) is a kook.
