“Why would we doubt it?”
_____________________________
And everybody was calling the senator, candidate and later president’s mother DOCTOR Stanley Ann Dunham from the first time her name appeared in print.
As people looking for truth, in an unbiased manner, with open minds (as, for example, journalists once did) must we not doubt everything until proven, but especially with regard to the background of this person, whose official history changes as if we’re living out, in real time, the novel 1984?

Beckwith doubts, which puts me in good company:
“And here’s a letter that was sent from the University of Hawaii in November, 2008:
“The University of Hawaii at Manoa is only able to provide the following information for Stanley Ann Dunham:
Dates of attendance:
Bachelors:
Fall 1960 (First day of instruction 9/26/1960)
Spring 1963 — Summer 1966
Masters:
Fall 1972 — Fall 1974
Summer 1976
Spring 1978
Ph. D.:
Fall 1984 — Summer 1992
Degrees awarded:
BA - Mathematics, Summer 1967 (August 6, 1967)
MA - Anthropology, Fall 1983 (December 18, 1983)
PhD - Anthropology, Summer 1992 (August 9, 1992)
Assuming these email responses were true, the University of Hawaii has Stanley Ann starting class in Sept 26, 1960 and dropping out for the spring semester (while pregnant). She then re-enrolled at the University of Washington in the autumn of 1961, just after Obama was born. Obama Sr. was still at the University of Hawaii, and graduated in 1962 while Stanley Ann was at University of Washington.”
“Assuming these email responses were true ...”
Why would he doubt when the case is closed? An email verifies all.
Yet her son, boasting of the success of that white woman from Kansas, didn’t tell everyone, every chance he got, in 2004 or later in 2007, that his mother had a PhD. He did falsely state that his father had a PhD.
Try to find anything prior to the 2008 election that reads “Sutoro PhD” or “Dunham PhD” or any permutation of her many names with “Doctor” or “Dr.” in front. Wikipedia first mentions it in January 2008, unsourced unless by implication, with a bunch of dead links footnoted elsewhere, which don’t pertain to the issue.
Why wouldn’t a progressive like Barry especially tout the achievements of this female who happened to be his mother? Is there a progressive war on women or something? He had dreams from his father but none from his mother?
Riddle me this: Why wasn’t her groundbreaking research cited in innumerable other anthropology treatises over the past 20 years? It’s incumbent on any other student or anthropologist researching her field to find, read, and cite all previous research, seeing as how every scientist stands on the shoulder of the giants that came before.
btw, I made a skeptical remark, as did Beckwith. I made no claims and so it’s not necessary for me to supply “evidence” to support any claim that I never made.
And what does Mercer Island HS have to do with any discussion of a PhD dissertation submitted to a university in Hawaii?
I read through your entire post. I couldn’t find the part where Beckwith doubted the info from UoH. All he said was ‘assuming these emails responses are true’, which is in no way casting doubt on them. Where did he actually cast doubt on the UoH info?
‘Try to find anything prior to the 2008 election that reads “Sutoro PhD” or “Dunham PhD” or any permutation of her many names with “Doctor” or “Dr.” in front.’
Where do you suggest I look? Until her son skyrocketed to fame, she was an unknown entity. Why would anyone cite her prior to Obama’s success? Her dissertation didn’t make it into book form until much later. Not everyone who writes a dissertation gets cited all over the place. The vast majority do not.
‘And what does Mercer Island HS have to do with any discussion of a PhD dissertation submitted to a university in Hawaii?’
The same parties that deny SADO earned a Ph.D deny she graduated from Mercer Island Hi. That is the connection.
‘Why wouldn’t a progressive like Barry especially tout the achievements of this female who happened to be his mother? Is there a progressive war on women or something? He had dreams from his father but none from his mother?’
Who did he dedicate Dreams to? His mother or his father?
