What she actually said was: “I have no absolute proof of course, but I saw Obama and I have always thought it was Obama,” she told Expressen.
It’s just her belief. But she did give birth at Kapi’olani on August 5, 1961 so there is a possibility.
Because every newborn looks exactly like their 50 year old selves and his bassinet was bathed with such a beautiful glowing light that his face was burned into her memory all these years.
On the flip side, none, not one, of Sr.'s East West college friends ever knew about little Barry until the election. No, lying Gov. Pothead doesn't count. Sr.'s friends didn't know about SAD, either. In those days, a 17 year old middle class white girl giving birth to a black baby would have been all over campus and half the island within 5 seconds.
Isn't it interesting that we hear from Sr.'s friends but crickets from SAD's friends. Did she not have any friends there at that time or was she simply not anywhere near the island? Where is the newspaper announcement of the engagement, the bridal shower, the wedding announcement (even if the Dunham's weren't too pleased but especially to keep up appearances with the soon to be "premie" grandchild) and the baby shower? My family scrapbook has clippings of all of those events from that time period.
