BOSTON - Barack Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, says Donald Trump disrespected her family by questioning the president's birthplace.
Trump quoted Obama's grandmother when she claimed to have witnessed Barack Obama's birth in Kenya, and Onyango says that is not true.....

Regarding all the photoshopped pictures, there can only be one explanation. The mythical life is even more mythical than most people know. The truth is so far-out there that there is not even a photographic record of a few photos that can support the myth.
I have never once claimed BHO Sr. was part of the “airlift” yet you persist again and again making this false claim that I did. He arrived as a lone Kenyan and was immediately written up in the local newspaper(details back in the thread).
wondered why there were no photos of an infant and this would explain why. There are plenty of photos of the toddler and none of the infant!

Why ???
I started full time college when my daughter was 3 weeks old...
I managed to take many photos of her as an infant...
FROM YOUR COMMENT: [21] When Obama Sr. left for America, he left behind his baby son, Roy, and his young wife, Kezia, who was pregnant with their daughter, Auma
FROM THE ARTILCLE POSTED ON FR:“I remember escorting him to the Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport, Nairobi, then known as Embakasi airport,” she says.
“He asked me to take care of our only child then, Malik Abongo, who was six years old. I was pregnant with our second child — Rita Auma.”

THAT’S JUST ONE EXAMPLE WHY I BELIEVE ONE CANNOT ACCEPT ANYTHING WRITTEN ABOUT THE KENYAN CONNECTION AT FACE VALUE.
And seizethecarp, although you obviously wish I would give it up, I will not. If you want to convince me the kenyan came to Hawaii from Kenya without a lenghthy period on the mainland - it’s really quite simple. SHOW ME ANY KIND OF ENTRY DOCUMENT.
thanks!

Meanwhile, Obama’s mother, whose parents Madelyn and Stanley Dunham had moved here from Kansas a decade earlier, left Mercer Island in 1960. But she returned to live in Seattle around 1962, after Barack was born in August 1961, leaving her husband, Kenya-born Barack Sr., and his newborn namesake in Hawaii. She lived on Capitol Hill and enrolled at the University of Washington.

In the 1961-1962 Polk Directory, a commercial index of people and businesses in Seattle, there is a listing for a student named “Anna Obama,” a woman who just might have been our next president’s mother.
According to a Seattle Times article published last year, Barack Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, twice lived in the Emerald City. First in her youth, as a student at Mercer Island High School. Then later as a single mother, when she enrolled for a spring semester at the University of Washington. We know she lived for a short time in an apartment on Capitol Hill by 1962 — but not much has been published about where.
Enter the Polk Directory. Assuming the woman listed there really was Obama’s mother, it would appear that she — and quite possibly her infant son — lived in a building then located at 516 13th Ave. E.
One detail puts that assumption in doubt. Obama’s mother’s name was Stanley Ann Dunham — Stanley Ann Obama after she married Obama’s father. Yet the index lists an “Anna.” It is possible this was another woman, archival experts said. But typos were not unheard of in the Polk directories, archival experts told me. Besides, the Polk Directory is not a legal document; those listed did not have to give their official name.
What’s more: No other Obamas appear in the 1961-1962 directory, and a peek through the surrounding 1960 and 1963 editions of the index turn up no one by that name...
So where did Anna’s baby go? Who was it maintained they visited her during the World Fair and did not mention a child?

Sighting by John W. Hunt in June-Sept 1962
— “I had moved to Utah for a while after high school, and I came back to Seattle in the summer of 1962. I remember visiting the World’s Fair, and then stopping by Stanley Ann’s apartment on Capitol Hill. It was a small apartment, upstairs. It was after June, and could have been as late as September, 1962. I visited her for half a day or so. It was after the end of the spring quarter classes, and she wasn’t in classes, and didn’t have a job. I recall her being melancholy at the time. I had a sense that something wasn’t right in her.”
Beckwith, wasn’t it John Hunt who said ‘she’ went looking for him in Boston and came back ‘melancholy’? I cannot find that original John Hunt interview.
found a reprint...and more, you wisely told me a long time ago, it’s a waste of time trying to follow the timelines, and of course you were right...
Whatever the nature of the event, it was of sufficient significance to cause Stanley Ann Dunham to leave Barack Obama Senior and move thousands of miles from Honolulu to Seattle. In March, 1962, Stanley Ann Dunham moved from Honolulu to Seattle, Washington, where she enrolled as a full time student at the University of Washington for the spring quarter, which continued until June, 1962, and got her own apartment. She enrolled in classes and earned 10 credit hours that quarter.
Seattle Times journalist Jonathan Martin reports that some high school classmates recall visiting her and her young son alternately at the Laurelhurst student housing, then at a Capitol Hill apartment during the period that stretched from March 1962 to at least September 1962. (43)
It appears that Stanley Ann Dunham intended this move to be a permanent one, away from the painful memories of Hawaii, her estranged husband, and her parents. Though she had found the courses she had taken at the University of Hawaii surprisingly stimulating, she had never wanted to go there in the first place.
The University of Chicago was no longer an option for financial reasons, but as a graduate of a high school in the state of Washington, she could still claim the lower tuition rate of a Washington resident there. It had been her second choice initially, after all, one that was superior to the University of Hawaii in her mind.
During these months though she was visited by some classmates, she did not actively seek to re-connect with many of her Mercer High School friends, suggesting that perhaps she was not interesting in letting them know the painful details of her personal story. Good friend Maxine Box, whose mother fed her chocolate cake after school while the two girls did their home work, attended the University of Washington during this time, and was not even aware that Dunham was living in Seattle and also attending the University of Washington at this time.
High school friend John W. Hunt apparently visited her at her Laurelhurst student apartment or her Capitol Hill apartment, as did another class mate, Barbara Cannon Rusk. Rusk recalls visiting Stanley Ann Dunham and her baby son Barack at her apartment on Capitol Hill in Seattle shortly after the end of these spring quarter classes.
I had moved to Utah for a while after high school, and I came back to Seattle in the summer of 1962. I remember visiting the World’s Fair, and then stopping by Stanley Ann’s apartment on Capitol Hill. It was a small apartment, upstairs. It was after June, and could have been as late as September, 1962. I visited her for half a day or so. It was after the end of the spring quarter classes, and she wasn’t in classes, and didn’t have a job. I recall her being melancholy at the time. I had a sense that something wasn’t right in her marriage. It was all very mysterious. First, her husband wasn’t there, he was already off in Harvard. I didn’t ask her about the relationship, feeling it was a private matter. My daughter Michelle was just a few weeks younger than Stanley’s son, who she called Barry, and they played together on the floor. (44)
As with Susan Blake and Maxine Box, Barbara Cannon Rusk never saw her friend Stanley Ann Dunham again...

(These folks should have known better i.e. that Corsi would not disappear, after Gov's own 'swift boating' efforts, used to destroy the truth that Corsi determinedly shares. The very term - swift boating - a tactic in point.)
FROM THE OBAMA FILE - SHE WAS GOING TO BOSTON:
Recollections
Therefore, to delve deeper into the rabbit hole of Obama’s birth, below are notes from a NEVER BEFORE RELEASED telephone interview conducted by a fellow investigator (from an adjacent “research team” who must remain anonymous) with Susan Blake a week before the Inauguration.
It should be pointed out that the interviewer was very thorough and accurate in capturing highlights of the hour-plus telephone interview with Blake. However, he said that in interviewing her, at times it was difficult to discern what was truth, half-truth, embellishment, or misremembered from Dunham’s brief and unexpected visit that took place nearly 50 years ago.
These raw notes show some new information and inconsistencies that seem to both AID while HINDERING Blake’s believability as a “witness” to Obama II and his mother’s whereabouts from 1960-1962.
1. Susan has been contacted now by many individuals especially in the last 2 days. One of her first contacts was back in August or so of 2008 by Michael Patrick Leahy, writer of the book “What Does Barack Obama Believe” available from Amazon. Much of what Susan has heard about her other interviews she feels has been distorted.
2. She was friend and confidante of Stanley Ann during her High School years, knew Stanley (she went by STANLEY not Ann) and that she was a very forward, articulate woman who shared much of her thoughts with her friends.
3. Stanley left in spring of 1960 and wrote cards and letters from Hawaii over a year or so that she was there. She sent a Christmas card to Susan stating she was dating a Kenyan student and was “in love.” In spring of 1961 Stanley sent another letter stating she had been married and was expecting a baby.
4. Susan had gone on vacation to Santa Cruz in summer of ‘61, had returned mid August because she remembered the fires around Santa Cruz at that time which caused her to return home. Soon after she was back, her mother told her that Stanley was coming to visit. Stanley had the newborn Barack Obama, roughly 3 weeks old. To Susan’s best recollection it was sometime around Aug. 25th to Aug 30th.
5. Stanley told Susan she was only in Seattle for a short visit, going on to Boston to find residence and a job, because she intended to go there for Senior’s graduated studies. She was to fly to Boston shortly after their visit.
6. Her understanding was that Stanley had waited until the baby was old enough to fly according to what Stanley said of the doctor. She was very much “in love” with Barack Obama Sr. happy to have the newborn, although not proficient at changing a diaper, which Susan did. “My claim to fame is that I changed Barack Obama’s diaper”.
7. She thought that Stanley was going to fly to Boston, establish her domicile etc., then return thru Seattle to Hawaii. She said SHE NEVER SAW HER AGAIN, although she knew through another mutual friend John, and Maxine Box, that she was again in Seattle in spring 1962. She said from what she’s read that Stanley was a correspondence student at the UW in fall 1961, but that she didn’t necessarily have to be there to be a correspondence student. However she knew Stanley was there in spring 1962.
8. Susan didn’t understand why all the distortions or “mystery” that is being purported, she thinks it’s all very straight forward, that Stanley had BO in Honolulu, married BO prior to that, they were in love. She also mentioned that she’s received calls from bewildered teachers/other students from interviewers asking about communist activity and other strange behaviors which she personally knows nothing of.
9. She states that while Stanley was there she stayed with a friend of Stanley Ann’s mother, even borrowed a car to come see Susan. Didn’t know who that was or where they lived.
10. Sadly, Susan hung up on me after the conversation deviated to why all the controversy surrounding his birth, his citizenship. Her understanding is that BO was a Natural Born Citizen by virtue of Stanley being a US citizen at time of birth IN HONOLULU. She did know that BO SR. was a KENYAN national, that according to Stanley “he was being groomed for political office” and that Barack Obama was a dual citizen but it didn’t matter, he was an NBC. When I stated what I firmly believe, that BOTH parents must be US citizens the phone clicked and she wasn’t on the other end.

Hunt has commented on Dunham and high school, I have no information about Hunt commenting on the alleged Boston trip.
The only reference to a “Boston trip” was Susan Blake’s.
He’s gone away with Stanley Ann...

Have first hand experience with the problem and the above scenario certainly fits the pattern of an abusive relationship.
That’s assuming all parentage in Dreams is factual. Which at this point I think there is grave doubt about.
Did I say 1960? No, from the 4 years when I went to high school.
So we need a birth certificate for Michele Hunt born in August of 61 in Utah?
Have you seen this? http://obamabirthcertificatequestion.wordpress.com/
That pirate costume photo: Look closely at his left hand, the one holding the sword. What’s wrong with his thumb? Look at SADO’s hairline. Why so raggedy? What is that dark furry smudge below the hair, top 1/3 of the forehead? Her hair, the “flip”, looks fake. Like a wig or a “fall” added in. The color and texture don’t match. Why the drawn-on eyebrows? There’s a notch taken out of her right thumb.
You mean you are even older than that? You went to high school before 1960?
I was kidding you to some degree. No you didn't say 1960.
What I was attempting to point out to you which I will now spell out in single syllable words is this--I assume when you tell me that you have all your annuals, that you graduated from high school sometime in the last fifteen or twenty years--maybe twenty-five. So it is not surprising that you have yours.
In my case, mine were all gone 17 years after I graduated because by then I had two homes; my parents had cleaned out their primary home; I have no clue where mine went or when I parted company with them but my high school period was less important to me then--it was ancient history.
And that is what happens to most people and to most copies of the annuals. For most people, the significant events and periods of their lives are after high school--sometimes quite a while after high school; the annuals cease to be relevant until you have been out for fifty years and have reached a point of reflection. By then, your high school years may seem more important but the documentary records are long gone.
So when Fred attacks on the theory that it is unreasonable to hear that most public copies of the annuals from Mercer Island in 1960 (51 years ago) are gone, I argue that it is not unreasonable at all--it what you would reasonably expect.
At some schools, there is some institutional memory department (the Library; the Administrative Office; etc.) that is responsible to maintain copies of the yearbooks but those books get loaned out (to the local newspaper) when a graduate becomes managing partner of one of the major downtown law firms twenty years after graduation etc. And don't get returned. So by the time you get to periods thirty or forty years after graduation, even in the slowest least accomplished classes, the annuals are all gone.
