I hear ya. I’m trying to figure out if Susan Blake was lying or not about her time with Ann in late-Aug 61 ... or if Ann attended ANY classes that first semester at Univ of Wash in late-61.
‘Anna Obama’ is listed in the Polk Directory 1961/62.
‘Obama. Stanley Ann Dunham’ is on the University course attendance card.
‘Ms Stanley Ann Dunham’ is the name on the letter received through FOI - from the University with dates of ‘attendance’ - where-as the card shows ‘extension courses’
Each one contradicts the other to a certain extent.
Why?
Why is it that everything to do with her, is such a mess?
Might it be that she NEEDED to make it appear she was living at a certain address to someone or some people who KNEW of her as Anna Obama?
Might it be that she enrolled as Stanley Ann Dunham because she had to identify herself when she enrolled?
Might it be that the OBAMA was added to the enrollment AFTER SHE TOOK THE NAME?
Might it be that she was NOT on the mainland?
Might it be that someone helpful, who understood her need to be SHOWN as living on the mainland, whilst she was elsewhere...collected the course work for her, mailed it to her...and if necessary, handed it in when completed?
All I am trying to do is show how it’s possible to LOOK as if you are in one place whilst NOT even being in the COUNTRY!
I read an article, downloaded it, and was going to post it when my power went out so lost it. It was an interview with Dunham’s best friend while she was in high school.
She said that all through high school Dunham never dated, never had a boyfriend. She planned on going to college in WA with her high school friends, but her father forced her to go with them to Hawaii since she had not turned 18 yet.
She also said the area where Dunham lived was white, all her friends were white, and she was not above a little racism during that time.
In that era, dating someone black would have been severely frowned upon.
She said she never pictured Dunham as the “fall in love and get married” type, let alone a mommy type, so she was shocked when she suddenly heard from Dunham that she had “fallen” in love with an African student, and even more shocked that she had a child.
Is it possible that she “ran away” with obama sr and that she got pregnant to him on purpose to get even with her father for forcing her to relinquish her plans for her own future?
If she ran away with him, she returned with a child that her parents would have gone nuts trying to legitimize. No one she knew ever saw her pregnant. She never lived with obama sr. They did not reside at the address in the newspaper announcement. There is nothing anywhere that indicates they were ever legally married, but there is a divorce.
That entire time is a mystery.
In such a case, she would have thought nothing about obama already being married, and he ALWAYS wandered back to Kezia when he had a problem. I think Kezia knows far more than she is willing to say.
Why would he write to her after jr was born and proudly send her pictures. How did Kezia and Dunham become so friendly?
I am nuts trying to unravel this joker and his whole tribal crap. He obviously feels the same way about almost everything as his African family. He bears the same resentments and bitterness.
He claims no contact with his father, but he writes a book called “Dreams FROM My Father.” Paradox.
My head reels with this stuff.
There may not be attendance in all classes, but she did receive grades, which indicate that she did the coursework and took whatever final exams which were required by her courses. As far as I am concerned, most beginning undergraduate courses have final exams -- I can't see how she wouldn't have taken at least one final exam.
Of course, she could have pulled a Ted Kennedy and had someone sit in on her exams for her!
