The Marriage of Obama's Parents: 'In Name Only'?

American Thinker ^ | March 8, 2014 | Shawn Glasco

So when did Ann's and Obama Sr.'s "whatever happened happened fast" wedding happen? For no apparent reason, confusion abounds among Obama's biographers over the wedding date:

1. Dreams claims that Ann and Obama Sr. were in married "in 1960"; similarly, Mendell's 2007 book claims that the couple were married "sometime in late 1960" when they "slipped off alone to the island of Maui"; and both Obamaland (2008) by Ron Jacobs (with contributor David Maraniss) and a 2007 Washington Post article claim that the two were married "late in 1960."

2. A 2007 Chicago Tribune article vaguely claims that Ann and Obama Sr. were married "six months before" Barack's birth on Aug 4, 1961 -- or, in other words, sometime in early 1961.

3. An April 2008 Time article by Amanda Ripley, as does Maraniss's August 2008 article, gives a specific date of February 2, 1961 for the wedding, apparently based on Ann's and Obama Sr.'s 1964 divorce records – mysteriously appearing on the web. But since fake documents have been known to appear on the web, Obama's biographers, Ripley and Maraniss, might want to verify the 1964 divorce documents – especially since a Feb. 2, 1961 marriage date for "Ann and Obama Sr." wasn't reported in any Honolulu Advertiser or Honolulu Star-Bulletin marriage lists from February 1961. Take the February 8, 1961 Star-Bulletin, which listed eighteen marriages from Feb. 3, Feb. 4, and Feb. 6, and no Feb. 2 marriages, and the February 7, 1961 Advertiser, which listed eleven marriages from Feb. 2 to 4, including two Feb. 2 marriages.

No Discrimination In New Elks Lodge

A new Elks lodge has been formed in Honolulu, but it's not one to be confused with the lily-white Elks of Waikiki whose club here was the locale of much "Spearhead for Americanism" activity and for speeches by the racist, Jack Tenney. The new lodge is called "Waikiki Lodge No. 1304," though its clubhouse is actually at 1316 N. Vineyard St., and its name is the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.



The sign says: "Waikiki Lodge No. 1304" but that building is located three miles south of 2994 Kalihi Street!

Did you watch that video? What exactly is it that you dispute?

[Brown Deer]

Why would you remove that comment but not a comment defaming your president’s mother?

[Brown Deer]

So you have nothing to dispute in the video? So it’s you who is being rude, insulting and don’t know what you are talking about.

[Fred Nerks]

And this is the house at 2994 Kalihi Street where Frank Marshall Davis and his family was living. That handwritten caption on the Elks Club photograph is a fake. And what you see there is NOT a raid, it's a group of people leaving the building, being led by a sailor with a torch. Gilbert is a monumental liar and a producer of MOCKUMENTARIES. He's MOCKING you all the way to the Bank.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Naming a child with the same name as the father and appending II rather than junior is the product of ignorance or pretension.

We're talking colonial native bourgeois class here. Pretension is a strong possibility. And ignorance isn't far behind.

[itsahoot]

There are probably thousands of faces you could post along side Davis that would be just as close a match.

[itsahoot]

Does it take all the questions out of his Presidency if his mother was single?

No, but it would bring a little doubt into that forged birth certificate though.

[itsahoot]

I don’t know if there is a way out of this mess we’ve been thrust into....

When in doubt, the King James version always helps.

Stanley Armour Dunham, Obama’s grandfather, was buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
Plot: Buried in SECTION CT1-B ROW 400 SITE 440.

We have family members buried at this cemetery and I know that Veterans and their spouses are entitled to a free burial in National Cemeteries. The first to die is buried deep enough so that the when the spouse passes, he or she can be buried on top of their coffin. For that reason, it is puzzling to me why Madelyn Dunham, Obama’s grandmother, was cremated and her ashes scattered in the Pacific Ocean. Why wasn’t she laid to rest with her husband, like most Veterans’ wives?

Causes reason for suspicion don’t you think?

Little factoid I never knew.

But just another question to be added to the now yards long list

That’s right, he is II isn’t he. But who else is named that other than his father? Probably some terrorist with Al Qaeda.
