According to your article, Obama Sr & Stanley Ann lived together as man & wife for two yrs. If you believe that you’ll believe anything, & if you don’t, what makes you trust anything else in the article?

At some point someone told Obama that if he had presidential aspirations he wd have to bury his Kenyan birth in favor of HI. Unfortunately for him the Kenyan Parliament isn’t playing along. They proudly twice declared Obama Jr a native-born Kenyan. (& no, they’re not too stupid to figure it out. That idea is merely a desperate moonbat smear to dismiss the simple, straightforward truth: Kenyans know exactly where Obama was born.)

I don’t see it reading that way. As to the happy family idea - I think it was a marriage of convenience. For Sr. it was either a way to stay in the US or not have his visa revoked. For her it was either naiveté or not wanting to be an unwed mother with a bastard child.

As to the Times article - the reporter probably did not do a lot of research (she couldn’t just go to the Archie website and search for “Obama”), so I would assume most of the biographic info came directly from Obama himself. Since it was a fluff piece about him not his father, I wouldn’t think that he would mention that his dad was a womanizing, alcoholic who abandoned him. Of course, we don’t know what his mother told him about his early years so maybe he believed that they lived together. Who knows.

“At some point someone told Obama that if he had presidential aspirations he wd have to bury his Kenyan birth in favor of HI.”

And what this article shows is that if that occurred, it happened before 1990.

I have noticed in the Obama hagiographic genre, there is a tendency to gloss over little inconsistencies. Sometimes the authors even insert admission of minor pecadillos to obscure much larger problem areas.

To add to the confusion, no two accounts are alike. Next PR campaign: identify with the Pope's call for "equalization or redistribution of incomes."

Forget Obama now. What do we have?
