1970 was the year Maya was born. This would mean Maya could never have remembered Stanley Ann and all Maya's stories about her mother are deliberate falsefications. Who took care of Maya?
1970 is also the year Barry Soetoro supposedly enrolled in the elite and expensive Punahou Academy in Hawaii. Yet according to the article he was thousands of miles away.
The famous airport pictures of Barack, Stanley Ann and Obama Sr. were taken in December 1971 or January 1972 when Barack Obama Sr. went back to Hawaii. All Obama biographies and Dreams from My Father talk about this supposed reunion of Obama Sr. and Jr. and Stanley Ann. Now it turns out Stanley Ann was dead and Barack Jr. was not even in Hawaii.
The many narratives of Obama’s life just get more and more crazy.

You read far to much into a reporter's interpretation of an Arkansas woman's comment. Virginia Goeldner KNOWS who Barry is. He is her NEPHEW. (Thesis of the Article.) He KNOWS who Barry's mother is. (Her Niece, Stanley Ann.) She KNOWS when Stanley Ann Died. (She mentioned Stanley Ann's job as a anthropologist.) Also, if Stanley Ann is not relevant to the Topic of the article, why mention Stanley Ann at all?
It is the REPORTER who doesn't know who is who and what is what, and if anyone made a mistake, it wasn't Virginia Goeldner, who knows exactly who all the players were, it was the reporter who misunderstood what she said.
As I've mentioned, i've been interviewed by Newspaper and Television reporters before, and they invariably get the story wrong. Usually it's trivial, but sometimes they make big mistakes.
The Explanation that the Arkansas reporter simply got some stuff confused, makes far more sense than inventing new parents for Barry, and killing his mom off early.
