Don't you find it at all strange that — against all maternal instinct — Ann Dunham would forever dump Obama Jr. on her MOTHER ("Toot") and father in Hawaii at age 10 in 1971?

Not really. I had pretty much the same situation, going to live with my grandparents when I was 12. From Ann Dunham's perspective, I can imagine that she thought that sending young Barry back to live with her parents where he could attend American schools, while she stayed in Indonesia with her husband, job, and young daughter to be the best option all around.

And just to correct the details, Obama returned to the US in 1971. A year later, his mother divorced Lolo and returned to Hawaii with Maya. After grad school in Hawaii, she returned to Indonesia in 1975. According to one story, Barry was offered the choice of remaining in Hawaii and attending high school there, or going to Indonesia. He chose to stay. Maya, who would have been 5 years old, went back to Indonesia, but returned to Hawaii to attend high school.

Let me tell you about Stanley Ann, Bubby.

Obama’s mama was a self-centered & self-serving bitch — YES, that's the most delicate way to put it.

An Abortion would have caused her a lot less “hassle”, because it's quite obvious to anyone who's done the research on Ann and her relationship with Obama Jr that Ann had little if ANY Maternal Attachment to her first-born child. Here's the dedication from her dissertation:

Of course Obama Jr "seldom complained"; Ann was rarely around to hear any complaints back in Hawaii, as she was almost ALWAYS "in the field" in Indonesia & other countries to which she traveled.

Ann separated from Lolo in 1974.
And yet, BACK to Indonesia she went for nearly the rest of her pathetic life, until dying in 1995.

Nobody forced her.
She easily could have stayed in Hawaii, brought Maya to the Land of Opportunity, and gotten a job with her mother or at the University of Hawaii with her friend Alice — but Ann but CHOSE NOT to, as she felt neither the Motherly-drive nor Obligation to raise her First-Born Child herself.

WHO was it there at Obama's high school graduation, perhaps the most IMPORTANT event in Obama's life up to that point in 1979?

It was NOT his mama Ann. It was Obama's grandfather ... and ~~grand~~mother.

WHO was it that visited him while he attended Columbia (New York) in the early 1980s?

Yep, the same people who were there at his high school graduation in Hawaii ...
