Over the past few days FReeper (anon) went to the library and checked out the Polk Directory entry for 1961-62 in the name of Anna Obama. It’s there. The only thing we do not know is when the directory was compiled, how long between gathering the info and the release. If Anna Obama is Stanley Ann Dunham then we can say she did spend some time at that address.

The various articles to do with Charles T Payne highlighted his position at the Library of the University of Chicago. He commenced his employment at the library in 1960.

“...After receiving a degree in engineering from Kansas State University, Charles Payne moved to Chicago in 1960 where he spent most of his career working in library science at the University of Chicago...”

In ‘Dreams From My Father’ obama mentions (I have not read the book) that his mother was accepted to attend the University of Chicago.

The connection between the University of Chicago and the Dunhams appears to be a strong one. Obama taught there...

“...From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year...”

“...His most original course, a historical and political seminar as much as a legal one, was on racism and law. Mr. Obama improvised his own textbook, including classic cases like Brown v. Board of Education, and essays by Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Dubois, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, as well as conservative thinkers like Robert H. Bork.

Charles T Payne is now 84 years of age. He retired when he was 70. That makes his birth year 1925. In 1960 he would have been 35YO. Retirement at 70 would make the retirement year 1995.

Charles T Payne was at the University of Chicago when obama started his lectures there in 1992.

Charles T Payne IMO knows more about the paternity of obama than we are allowed to know.

The only ‘evidence’ that Stanley Ann Dunham was in Hawaii between Summer of 1960 until the time she showed up with an (approx) two year old, would appear to be:

Anyone know where this picture was taken? Also what about the other 2 items?

I would imagine this is fake and someone was having some fun with photoshop:

I fail to see anything earthshaking about the discovery of this Seattle address. I'd bet the ranch that "Mrs. Anna Obama" was indeed Stanley Ann, since the surname "Obama" was extremely rare in the US at the time (and still is). The Polk directory listing also correlates with Stanley Ann's attendance at the U. of Washington during this time frame, which the U. had already made public.

Would anyone know what month that Polk directory was published?

Was “Stanley” a professional student? Geeze. *rhetorical*
