If you have any evidence that proves otherwise, then please present it.

I'm not claiming they did. Fantasywriter is claiming, as far as I can tell, that when Barry said Sr. "left the family" when Jr. was two, that's the same as "steadfastly maintaining" that Sr. lived with them for two years. I'm just saying that "left the family" can mean a lot of different things.

I haven't seen any evidence that Barry said his father lived with them for two years. Maybe I missed it.

Maybe he misspoke and meant two weeks, but I've never seen any evidence that they were ever together during those two weeks. If you have some, then please present it. But even if so, then the part about Kenya wouldn't make any sense, because he (Sr.) stayed in Hawaii while they (Stanley Ann and Barry) moved to Washington.

0bama: "Well, you know the uh, uh, I didn't. My father had returned to Kenya, uh, after uh, he and my mother separated. Uh, this is when I was only two years old."

Aug 4, 1961 - The date of birth on 0bama's forged birth certificate. BHO Sr. lived at 625 11th Ave. and Stanley Ann Dunham 6085 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu.

late Aug 1961 - Stanley Ann visits Susan Botkin Blake in Mercer Island.

Sept 1961 thru May 1962 - Mary Toutonghi states that baby Barry and Anna were living in her home in Seattle.

June 1962 - Barack Sr. graduates from University of Hawaii.

June 22, 1962 - BHO SR. off to Harvard via San Francisco; in Massachusetts he meets and later marries Ruth Beatrice Baker.

Summer 1962 - Barry and Stanley Ann return to Hawaii to live with Madelyn Dunham at 1427 Alexander St.

March 5, 1964 - Stanley Ann marries Lolo Soetoro.

Summer of 1964 - Barack Sr. is ordered out of the U.S. with NO degree from Harvard.

Obama is the person who has promulgated the myth that his father left the family when Barry was two. The purpose of this myth is to suggest the Obamas were an intact family for the first two years of Barry’s life. This in turn allows Obama to wax eloquent on the “improbable love” shared by his parents. If they didn’t live together for five minutes, it was hardly an “improbable love”, replete with big dreams for their only son. So Barry/Obama *needs* the narrative of a couple living together, & then torn apart by Harvard’s stingy scholarship, which forced [in Barry’s fake world] Obama Sr to choose between an Ivy League education & his wife & son.

Go to Amazon.com & read the more detailed reviews of Dreams from My Father. Read the reviews by Obama’s most sycophantic fans. They all agree that the Obamas were an intact family until O Sr had to choose between Harvard & his wife & son. I’m not the one who gave them that impression. Obama [via Bill Ayers] deliberately plants/spreads that myth in his own memoir. You are blaming me for what HE did. You could not be more mistaken.

Here’s how the Wikipedia article about Dreams from my Father describes the marriage:

“Obama recounts his life up to his enrollment in Harvard Law School. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr. of Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas, who had met as students at the University of Hawaii. Obama’s parents separated in 1963 and divorced in 1964, when he was two. Obama’s father went to Harvard to pursue his Ph.D. in economics, but he didn’t have the money to take his family with him.”

So who exactly is suggesting the family lived together from the time of Barry’s birth until their ‘separation’ in ‘63? You say I’m the one. I say it’s Obama. Wiki, in its favorable summary of Dreams from my Father, says it’s Obama. So stop pointing the finger at me & point it where it belongs—directly at the Liar in the WH.
