WHERE IS SHE GETTING THIS FROM THIS MEMO???
This is the second time Smathers has gotten that memo wrong and no one has called her on it. She featured that memo in a jpg in her first article, and still got it wrong twice.
The memo says USC [US citizen] spouse to go to Wash State University next semester.

Note that the name "Barack Obama" appears on the document twice. First at the top of the page as the subject of the notes (Sr.) where it appears, "OBAMA, Barack H." and then where it names the child and is written, "Barack OBAMA II". If I had to wager, I'd say the word, "Barack" was written in cursive by two different people. Same thing with the printed "OBAMA". It's also interesting that William Wood is actually, "William Wood II". If you look at the characteristics of the respective "II"s as entered on the names, I'd assert that they are dissimilar enough to heavily suspect that the (child's) name was entered on the note by someone other than the original writer (Wood) of the rest of the note.
