“Greenperson to Fantasywriter
I meant to write that a dissertation doesn’t EXIST only on computer disks.
I found the answer. Apparently it’s on microfilm, if we believe it: http://books.google.com/books/about/Peasant_Blacksmithing_in_Indonesia.html?id=LxXcAAAAMAAJ
Stanley Ann Dunham, 1992.”
Why would we doubt it? Why would the university, in ‘92, fake giving Ann a Ph.D? Do you have any evidence that they committed major, glaring academic fraud by claiming to award her a Ph.D she didn’t earn? The UoH is very proud of SADO. They’ve posted numerous accolades to her, and every one mentions her Ph.D. In order to earn it, she had to write & defend a thesis/dissertation. She did so. Whether it was any good or not, who knows? She got the Ph.D. That is the bottom line.
Btw, Mercer Island HS is fundraising off the fact that SADO graduated there. Here’s the link:

“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?
