Obama Family: "Barack Obama Sr Married Anna Toot in Hawaii" "Their union produced B. Obama Jr."

Posted on 04/27/2010 4:35:01 PM PDT by bushpilot1

"According to the family, Obama's father travelled to America to study at the University of Hawaii in 1959. While there, he worked for an oil company and married his second wife, a white woman, named Anna Toot, and their union produced Barack Obama Jr." --- By John Oywa, 15 August 2004

” CHICAGO, Nov. 3 (UPI) — Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s grandmother, “Toot,” died Monday at her home in Honolulu, the family said.”

My head is spinning.
Like our Founding Fathers must be.

Ironic. Barak's doctor just told him to quit taking so many toots.

Early attempts to track him included his mother assuming the name “Toot” (maiden last name). Toot was the last name of an ancestor (aunt I think) of Stanley Dunham.

Nothing new in this possible connection.

I lived in HI for about 14 years, when I read that stuff about 0thugga’s grandmother, it was known to me. Tutu does mean Grandma and tutukane means Grandpa. Kane (pronounced “kah ney”) means “man”.

I was trying to remember Grandpa and I just cound this silly little list, there are tons more Hawaiian pidgin sites:

Well, how convenient is that then? Senior marries ANNA TOUT, her name becomes TOOT phonetically, the family in Kenya know about her...

Meanwhile, in Hawaii, there’s Stanley Ann’s mother, she’s a grandmother nicknamed TUT. And Stanley has the middle name ANN, so we’ll call her ANN or ANNA, and Bob’s your Uncle, problem solved.

ANNA TOUT HAS DISAPPEARED. She’s been swallowed up by the MYTH of DREAMS.

In Hawaii the honorific for grandma is Tutu. It's phonetically simple for little kids (keiki) to manage in their early years......and it sticks. But it's doubtful that it's pronunciation derived from the Hawaiian language since there is no T consonant. The word for grandmother is Kuku wahine, the 'Tutu' prounciation is most likely Samoan or Tahitian.

"Obama Senior arrived in the US in what year we do not know, he wrote to his family in Kenya and told them he was working for an oil company and had married a woman named ANNA TOUT, when the letter arrived, someone who could read in the village, read the letter out to the family, and the name TOUT became TOOT... it’s phonetic.

"There was no connection between the Dunhams and the name TOUT or TOOT. But the contents of the letters that Obama Senior wrote home to Kenya, over time, became common knowledge in the village. So that when Kezia said, ‘he married ANNA TOOT’ she was simply repeating what everyone knew...

"Came time to write the mythology: - ANNA and TOOT had to be woven into the narrative. ... Stanley Ann, who was NEVER known as anything BUT Stanley Ann, or the nickname Stanney, as attested by several of her Mercer Island classmates... was given the name ANN or ANNA, and Madelyn was given the nickname TOOT, ‘because’ isn’t TUT an abbreviation of grandmother in Hawaiian?

"ANNA TOUT might have been the woman O Senior married in the US, if he married anybody... but IMO he never married Stanley Ann Dunham. He arrived in Hawaii in 1959 from goodness knows where, and it seems Stanley Ann Dunham was at that time in Chicago."

I can’t take the credit. I believe it was Fred Nerks that found it.

Yes, the Anna Toot/Tout thing mixed up with SADO and Gramma Toot is just too weird to be believed, absolutely.

Toot?

That might explain Obama’s cocaine use ;-)

# 336:

What if Toot isn’t the Mom but Stanley is the father?

Obama is an Islamic Toot. Thats makes him a root a toot Toot.

Long story...the article this came from was from an African publication dated 2004. There were a number of anomalies, and one of them was that the kenyan student had gone to the US for his education, and while he was there, he worked for an oil company and married a woman named Anna Toot.
Most perplexing.
Remember, Aunt Zeituni also said that he wrote home and told them he had a son in Hawaii?

There was only one member of the clan who could read, and that was Onyango, he read the kenyan student’s letters out to the members of the clan - who retold the story, it was an oral society, and the names you hear and see are the result of phonetics.

Anna Toot could have been Anna Tout, or even Annie Tutu, but Anna Toot stuck, and must have had a long enough life in the retelling because there’s a passage in ‘Dreams’ that attempts to account for Anna Toot. (I won’t bother posting it again.)

But it’s enough to remind you that Stanley Ann Dunham was named both Ann and Anna in a conversation invented by the author, and that’s when Madelyn first became known as TOOT. It must have been seen as essential to get rid of the names of the woman he wrote home about.
Anna Toot, or even Annie Tutu was a liabilty, she had to be written out. And she was.
As for the oil company, you don’t think the kenyan’s huge ego was going to allow him to admit he was working in the pine-apple cannery for the Dole Corp, as it shows on his documentaion, do you?
So he wrote home to say he was employed by an oil company, knowing that no one in the clan would know there was no oil in Hawaii.
Alternatively, there’s an article that maintains he said, when he was interviewed in 1962, that he hadn’t been in Kenya for seven years. He may have said he hadn’t been home for seven years, meaning the village, but if that statement is true as it was made, then he had plenty of time to marry someone named Anna Toot or Tout (or Annie Tutu which has been explained by a freeper as meaning oldersister/auntie) and actually work somewhere, but that could have been on the mainland, and his docs show he boarded an aircraft in the UK to fly to New York where he landed in August, 1959.

Sorry you mentioned it?

One thing I’m sure of is that the person in Kenya who provided this little vignette didn’t get the name out of the Seattle Polk directory which showed Anna Obama living on Capitol Hill.

There were people in Kenya who knew her name four years before we heard of any Anna Obama in Seattle, and I doubt very much of they bought a copy of ‘Dreams’ - but I suppose it’s possible zero gave them copies to study, by 1992 when it was published iirc, there would have been a few more literates in the village...

So we’re back to, yes, he wrote home to his father, both Zeituni and this person telling the story remember, he married a woman and had a child, we just don’t know the dates on the letters and we still don’t know who ANNA TOOT was, but valiant attempts have been made to turn the two of them into SAD and zero.
