One of the commenters are TexasDarlin’ quoted Judah Benjamin saying this:
“I suspect that the Original BC is missing, lost, or was destroyed long ago. If that is the case the Senator quite possibly did not, or does not know, which hospital he was born in, or if indeed he was born in a hospital at all. Passports do not contain that information.”
Way back when we started looking at the photo of BOH Sr. with all the leis that is supposed to be his graduation photo there was a quote from “Dreams” about what they would be doing and places they would be going during his later visit in 1971. I seem to remember him saying something like driving past the “remodelled hospital where I was born.”
Does anyone remember posting a quote from his book like this?
I did a little googling and found the quote i was asking about being posted on Texas Darlin. It came from pg. 61 of the original “Dreams” book.
“A month. That’s how long we would have together,the five of us in my grandparents’living room most evenings,during the day on drives around the island or on short walks past the private landmarks of a family: the lot where my father’s apartment had once stood; the remodelled hospital where I had been born; my grandparents’ first house in Hawaii, before the one on University Avenue, a house I had never known.”
Some questions:
1. Why are they visiting the “lot where my father’s apartment once stood”? Why wouldn’t he say the apartment or the house where my mother and father had once lived? We have the apparent address of that house—wouldn’t they want to see that “landmark”?
2. We know the locations of his father’s ‘homes’ while he was a student in Hawaii. Have any of these places been knocked down, left as an open lot, or rebuilt?
3.Which hospital was “remodeled” by 1971? Are any of O Sr.’s living spaces near this hospital? Is the Dunham apartment near this hospital? I know mentioning this hospital does not prove he was actually born in it but that he may have been told that he was. However, if he was born in Honolulu in a hospital, does this little word,”remodeled”, provide us with a clue about where?
I also realize that since this is from “Dreams” it may just be all a piece of BO’s imaginagion.
I remember the post; I think I remember seeing it in the book or in one of the Chicago Tribune stories. I didn't post it but I do remember the quote.
But so what? It is just another self serving comment.
Obama has known for years that he has a problem with his Natural Born status under Article II, Sec. 1. He has been addressing the issue at every opportunity. If I had been his lawyer with a fifteen year lead time, I would have had the fix on this. But instead of addressing it directly and fixing it, he has squirmed around trying to hide it or fraud it or get out of it. That isn't going to work.
