Go back and look at this LONG thread (now over 9,000 posts)
Is this really it? (re: possible Obama's Kenyan B.C. - Attny Taitz)

Look at how many trolls stopped by to refute, condemn and belittle the document. Why waste time trying to convince "conspiracy nuts" (their label) that something is "obviously" fake? YOU DON'T -- unless you think there might be at least a hint of reality and you're trying to convince others it's not.

Meanwhile, there's enough EVIDENCE to show that NOT EVEN OBAMA knew where his mother was in 1961-1962, like this:


from "Dreams From My Father"

In 1959, at the age of twenty-three, he (Barack Obama Sr) arrived at the University of Hawaii as that institution’s first African student. … In a Russian language course, he met an awkward, shy American girl, only eighteen, and they fell in love. The girl’s parents, wary at first, were won over by his charm and intellect; the young couple married, and she bore them a son, to whom he bequeathed his name. He won another scholarship-this time to pursue his Ph.D. at Harvard-but not the money to take his new family with him. A separation occurred, and he returned to Africa to fulfill his promise to the continent. The mother and child stayed behind …

Conflicting with OBAMA'S OWN words

Dunham also registered for classes at the University of Washington for both the winter and spring quarters of 1962. (She took extension courses, attending classes at night, during the autumn 1961 and winter 1962 quarters, but in the spring of 1962 switched to a more traditional schedule, attending classes during the day. Her grades were good: Of the seven classes she took that academic year, she had three As and three Bs; she audited the seventh course.)  Neighbor Toutonghi periodically babysat Barack for a couple of months while Dunham attended night classes during the early months of 1962. Years later Toutonghi recounted, “I remember his being very large and very curious and very alert ... . I don’t remember any undue fussing at all” (Neyman); maybe this was a harbinger of the future laid-back persona that the president would become known for decades later.

But what Dunham and her young son did in Seattle after the end of the 1962 spring quarter is mostly a mystery, though they stayed for at least part of the summer of 1962. High school classmate Barbara Rusk recalls visiting them at the Capitol Hill apartment during that summer, noting that Dunham was not in school or working at the time. Other friends have also suggested the two stayed through at least part if not all of the summer. But in December 1962 Dunham transferred her transcript to the University of Hawaii, and enrolled there in the spring quarter of 1963.  Given the demands that the young single mother faced raising her infant son alone in Seattle, they may have left shortly after Barack’s first birthday -- perhaps about the time the future president was taking his first steps.

It is narrowed down to 15 days from the time Obama's mother REPORTEDLY gave birth (Aug. 4, 1961) in Hawaii, until she STARTED classes (Aug. 19, 1961) at University of Washington in Seattle. It is HIGHLY unlikely she started class on the SAME DAY she registered, so she probably signed up the week prior. Considering recovery time from giving birth, flight time from Hawaii, etc ...

What is the common sense answer? Canada (with a marriage in Kenya) is certainly more plausible than either in Hawaii ...

Don't give up ... we're almost there.

Has there been any evidence of a Canadian birth?

PS: thanks BP2 for your relentless work to find the truth - Americans appreciate the effort of you and others. God help us all before obozo pushes us over the edge and into the abyss.

David has adamantly and compellingly argued that the autumn semester start date for U of W was in September, not August and that the numeral is being mis-read as a “9,” not an “8.” He bases this on having been on the U of W campus at the time.

I’ve thought since last year that a Canadian birth made sense. However, we need evidence, not intuition, and he also seems to have concrete knowledge — good sources — who are confident of the Mombasan birth.

The misspelling of Barak as Barack on the possible Kenyan B.C. would tend to verify that Stanley Ann was indeed alone in registering the birth in Mombasa, because Sr. himself or his family would likely have spelled it differently.

Who babysat him during the fall of 1961 while she attended classes?
