The Marriage of Obama's Parents: 'In Name Only'?
American Thinker ^ | March 8, 2014 | Shawn Glasco

Posted on 03/08/2014 6:07:03 AM PST by Flotsam_Jetsome

So when did Ann's and Obama Sr.'s "whatever happened happened fast" wedding happen? For no apparent reason, confusion abounds among Obama's biographers over the wedding date:

1. Dreams claims that Ann and Obama Sr. were in married "in 1960"; similarly, Mendell's 2007 book claims that the couple were married "sometime in late 1960" when they "slipped off alone to the island of Maui"; and both Obamaland (2008) by Ron Jacobs (with contributor David Maraniss) and a 2007 Washington Post article claim that the two were married "late in 1960."

2. A 2007 Chicago Tribune article vaguely claims that Ann and Obama Sr. were married "six months before" Barack's birth on Aug 4, 1961 -- or, in other words, sometime in early 1961.

3. An April 2008 Time article by Amanda Ripley, as does Maraniss's August 2008 article, gives a specific date of February 2, 1961 for the wedding, apparently based on Ann's and Obama Sr.'s 1964 divorce records – mysteriously appearing on the web. But since fake documents have been known to appear on the web, Obama's biographers, Ripley and Maraniss, might want to verify the 1964 divorce documents – especially since a Feb. 2, 1961 marriage date for "Ann and Obama Sr." wasn't reported in any Honolulu Advertiser or Honolulu Star-Bulletin marriage lists from February 1961. Take the February 8, 1961 Star-Bulletin, which listed eighteen marriages from Feb. 3, Feb. 4, and Feb. 6, and no Feb. 2 marriages, and the February 7, 1961 Advertiser, which listed eleven marriages from Feb. 2 to 4, including two Feb. 2 marriages.

It’s been a long day and you must be getting weary from all this.

I've been on here for a total of about ten minutes today.

To which nonsense I replied, and never got an answer:

...Further, he is officially Obama godfather.

How nice. That's news to me. When was he appointed Godfather? At his christening? In Hawaii? After he was born there? So the marxist FMD was a Christian, was he? No doubt he had a family bible in which he recorded the event. And you have photographs of the Dunhams and the Davis family at the font?

LOL! Let's let the old biddy go to bed.

Why are you writing nonsense like this?
.................
What’s the matter with you. DO you like the word mentor better? ..
....................
It’s hard to imagine that anyone could see Davis as a mentor. And yet, in the autumn of 1970, Davis was introduced to Obama by Obama’s grandfather, who was seeking a role model/father figure to mentor his grandson. Davis and Obama would meet throughout the 1970s, right up until Obama left Hawaii for Occidental College in 1979. In fact, in Dreams from My Father, Obama notes the parting advice he got from Davis before leaving for Occidental; it was a classic Davis diatribe trashing “the American way.”

Given these shocking facts, it’s no surprise that Barack Obama was hesitant about divulging Frank Marshall Davis’s full name anywhere in his memoirs—even as Davis was such an influence that Obama could not ignore him. In Dreams from My Father, “Frank” is mentioned twenty-two times by name, and far more via pronouns and other forms of reference. He is a consistent theme, appearing repeatedly and meaningfully in all three parts of the book. He is part of Obama’s life and mind, by Obama’s own extended recounting, from Hawaii—the site of visits and late evenings together—to Los Angeles to Chicago to Germany to Africa, from adolescence to college to community organizing. “Frank” is always one of the few (and first) names mentioned by Obama in each mile-marker upon his historic path from Hawaii to Washington. When Obama at last arrived in Chicago, where he would find himself politically, professionally, and ideologically—precisely as Frank Marshall Davis had 50 years earlier—the first thing he did was think of “Frank,” literally visualizing him, picturing him there.

You’re really confused. I never said anything about Frank Marshall traveling to Seattle.

I see that you’ve resorted to using Alinsky Rule 5:

Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

NICE TRY.

Give it up. Quoting an article which quotes ‘Dreams’ word for word doesn’t add to our enlightenment. And the only person who came forward who says she saw zero with FMD was the Weatherly-Williams woman.
Even Neil Abercrombie, who thought he saw Stanley Ann Dunham with the kenyan, keeps calling her ANN for very good reasons. He must have woken up who it was he saw with the kenyan student, at some time he would have had to have reached the epiphany that the (possibly) part Filipino girl he saw, wasn’t the Dunham girl.

What Frank might have done for the boy is lodge a birth certificate application and see to it that the birth announcement appeared in the Honolulu papers. As an accredited journalist with Union connections, that would have given him access to the print-shop, and all he had to do was remove the birth announcement for Virginia Sunahara, and have that replaced with Mrs & Mrs Obama, a boy, with the address where Ann S Obama was shown as a resident.

Money changed hands. Frank was broke, the kenyan got a scholarship to Harvard. Stanley Ann didn’t need to be there.

It’s just too much of a coincidence that the Local Registrar was notified of the birth on the very same day Virginia’s death announcement appeared, isn’t it?

Reminds me to add something to my page. Some people have skills and make their pages nice looking. I think I’ll add some more quotes to mine.

I don’t think it’s wise to accuse Brown Deer of Alinksy-ism.

Determined obstructionists must be professionals, most of the time. Otherwise, where would they get their motivation?

There’s something missing. I think it’s a spine and a conscience. Your Congress seems to have neither.


Exactly. As my tagline says. And the vast majority of Congress is either on board with the tyranny, or mere political whores, or castrated cowards.

Thanks, I needed that. Pushing that rock up the mountain time after time is tiresome...

I want to address that ‘little red schoolhouse’ comment. I think it’s become apparent that the Unitarian Church practiced some form of outreach and the Professor Feldman who was attached to the U of HI was instrumental in bringing SUBUD to the East-West Centre, and that’s possibly where both Alice Dewey and Stanley Ann Dunham, maybe her parents also, became members of the Cult. But best be cautious about the ‘communist’ tag for its congregation, there’s an example of something similar connected with Mercer Island High School.
One of the teachers there was terribly maligned as a communist, but when we looked deeper, that man was far from it, he had given his pupils ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand to read.
And the actual communist member of the faculty who was questioned in that regard, was never mentioned.

Stenhouse iirc.

Between the three of you, you have posted over 200 comments on this thread. That’s almost half of all the comments. Now I am convinced that you’re getting paid. If not, you should be.

And if you spent the time it takes to count all the comments we have made in reading and following links to information provided, you wouldn’t be so ill informed, as to be telling us that Frank Marshall Davis was zero’s godfather, or quoting directly from DREAMS FROM MY FATHER.

Interfaithing
by reynold ruslan feldman, ph.d

In May 1961, a year after receiving my B.A. in English, I was opened in Subud. That took place in Chicago. At the time I was also attending the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Hindu Fellowship near where I lived. Back at Yale Graduate School that fall and an isolated member, I began studying Indonesian and hanging around with “people who looked like Bapak.” It wasn’t until the fall of 1969 in Honolulu, with Mas Prio Hartono a recent houseguest, that I first tried the Muslim Ramadan Fast. It was challenging, to say the least, with world-class headaches appearing every day by three. But with Muslim students and professors at the East-West Center, where I was working, for companions, it was a dramatic experiment for me—one that I have since repeated 36 times.

My road to active interest in interreligious matters was less direct. As an assistant professor of English at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa and, for a year, as intercultural activities officer at the adjoining East-West Center, I was tapped by the Lutheran campus pastor to serve on the University’s interfaith council as a faculty member representing “Team Lutheran.”

For anyone interested. Here’s a World Net Daily story on Virginia Sunahara
http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/arpaio-investigator-hawaii-still-covering-up-for-obama/

When Arpaio dispatched Zullo for the second trip, the assignment was kept confidential for Zullo’s safety and to prevent media leaks. Only Arpaio and the chief deputy of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office were aware of the assignment.

In Honolulu, Zullo worked closely with local contacts, including Duncan Sunahara, the brother of Virginia Sunahara, an infant child born in Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961, the same day Obama was born, and died the next day.

As WND reported, Virginia Sunahara entered as a figure in the Obama birth controversy because no birth certificate for her had been located, leading to speculation her birth certificate could have been the source of Obama’s.

I'm not confused at all! I NEVER SAID THAT YOU SAID FRANK MARSHALL [DAVIS] traveled to Seattle, but YOU wrote:

“But if the book was actually written after 1960, it is possible that the author based this character on his relationship with a teen aged Ann Dunham.”

As a teenager, Stanley Ann Dunham lived in SEATTLE, WASHINGTON! So how do YOU suggest that he got together with Stanley Ann Dunham during the 1950s while she was going to school in Washington?

Alinsky taught his followers to focus on human experiences and how to twist words to achieve that focus.

NICE TRY. Please try to focus on your original comment and explain it.

That word has nothing to do with the word "godfather". So one more time, please show us some small piece of evidence that Frank Marshall Davis is the godfather of Barack Hussein Obama.

Thank you. We will be sure to read every word of the links you so kindly posted. And don’t take any notice of Brown Deer, he has a low threshhold for (a word that starts with s and ends with y.

You need to add nothing to your home page, not while it contains this:

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
