“My daughter is 31 years old now. After she was born my wife was in a ‘semi-private’ (as opposed to barracks) room with four beds with new mothers for several days. I remember one of the couples from that time because something stood out about them. They were reporters for the NY Times.”
One couple, eh? And the Obama’s would have to be that one, wouldn’t they?
Oh, yes, you do say something stood out about them. Which leads us back to the standby that people must remember baby Obama because he’s mulatto. That argument far less convincing to me than, it appears, to others.
If and I say if Obama’s mother was in a room with another mother I would bet that woman would remember a black man coming to visit his white wife. Forty + years later you find out the president of the USA was born in Hawaii to a white woman and a black man, at the same hospital you gave birth, and bingo you put 2 and 2 together.
You sure are a naysayer here, aren't you. I don't know about other folks here. I'm over 60 now. The schvatzas I've had close personal interaction with stand out in my mind. One was a bridge player who used to come to my house in my lily white neighborhood when I was a teen. Others are guys I've worked with over the years. I remember their names too.
