Pete, Pete. Don’t you listen to your inamorato? Obama said that his parents met in Selma, Alabama in 1965, and that he was born as a result. Obama was an adult Harvard grad at the time, so don’t try the bob and weave that he couldn’t do the math. Unless your claim is that Obama is a drooling moron or a pathological liar, you’re looking for a man and woman who marched at Selma. Get it?
And whatever you do, don’t tell Obama he doesn’t “have a claim on Selma, Alabama.” He explained in crystal clear terms exactly what his claim is. So, since you need to believe what your idol says about his birth, your job is to locate Obama’s soon-to-be parents among the marchers at Selma.
We’ll wait.
It really looks like his parents did not meet in Selma in 1965 or Hawaii in 1960 since she was not there:

“Images of Obama Snr from the time, and letters written as testimonials, show no Stanley Ann - there is no mention of her. None. It’s almost as if she didn’t exist. Not in Hawaii.”
Combing through these old threads link to photographs and letters of dozens of Senior’s alumni associates, but there’s no mention or nice inquiries about the status of any girlfriend, wife or newborn baby.
“Was Stanely Ann still on the mainland? Did she in fact spend time in Chicago, where she was accepted to attend the University of Chicago? Was her enrollment in Hawaii nothing but an anticipation by her parents, that never eventuated? The closer one looks, the less likely it becomes that she ever met Obama Snr. Anywhere.”
That’s an excellent observation. We can bank on the fact that he certainly came from Africa, studied at Hawaii and returned to Africa and eventually died. Her whereabouts are much harder to confirm for any time period.
“And what was that all about, her enrollment in extension courses with an address in Seattle? The address shown in the Polk Directory 1961/62 where she supposedly lived with her young son, is recorded as having been strictly segregated. Extension courses can be completed and returned from anywhere. Was that address in the Polk Directory for Anna Obama nothing but a convenient mail-box? She was enrolled as Stanley Ann Dunham. Why use a different name for an address? Unless...she didn’t want to be found.”
Maybe that’s all it ever was, a mailbox while she travelled or studied elsewhere.
It’s a fairy tale: Scanty anecdotal stories crop up which always unravel when you examine the details of time and chronology. The hidden or republished yearbooks with conflicting names or alias’s with unverified transcripts = hogwash or in African terms- Mumbo-Jumbo.
Dissecting the Dreams Tale results in discrediting the humble jumble Hawaiian nativity story.
+Fantasy unravelled Selma, since a baby gets made after a couple meets and marches.
+Fred unravelled Seattle, since a child can’t be babysat until after he’s been born.
