Oops. Did I post it wrong? Sorry about that. Yeah, it was the summer of 1980, when Obama was 19 and his mom was finalizing the divorce from Lolo.
I’m hopelessly behind here now but wanted to comment to Parsy that Race’s situation is a bit different than the situation in most memory studies, because he’s not counting on his eyesight to confirm the accuracy of his memory. What seals it for him, if I’m hearing him right, is the connection between Obama mentioning Mombasa and Race’s own connection with Mombasa - and how he thought about trying to find this guy and show him the pictures. There’s the concrete reminder of the conversation - the Mombasa photos - which brings back the whole conversation. And the facts of the conversation is what he bases the identification of Obama on, not something more fallible such as eyesight.
I know you could bring up the belief that Obama was not in Hawaii in the summer of 1980 but if not then whoever forged the selective service registration that was supposedly done by Obama in Hawaii in 1980 is also in trouble. So take your pick; if he wasn’t in Hawaii then his selective service registration is proven to be a forgery by someone in the government (oh no! A conspiracy!). If he was in Hawaii then there’s not really an argument against Race’s account.
He’s lied so many times and in so many ways that no matter which way the ball bounces it spells trouble for him.
Well, I don’t know, but the story sounds a little out there for me. Sounds like the kind of stunt I might pull. Heck, I have pulled stunts like that, come to think of it.
But who knows. I wasn’t there.
parsy, who pulled his left stunt once and sprained it
it is total bogus hokem that he wouldnt be in Hawaii in late August or mid August 1980
Even if he was signed in to school, he could still be home before leaving
classes started when? What week?
Maybe he was still home a few days before leaving?
It is a complete fallacy to claim he was not in Hawaii just because he was signed up for classes
I never claimed to know the exact date, I never claimed to have a photo
I do claim that I met a Mulatto male, about age 18 (19 would fit right ther regardless of anyone being a parsing fool) who told me he lived in Hawaii, was raised in Indonesia and was born in Mombassa. And I remember that grin, that part of his physical description, I do remember that.
Some people just pick apart what they dont know to be curmugeons
So , Screw Parsifal
