I don’t see anything of significance there.
Am I missing something?
Not really. There was some idle curiousity about his real name at birth, which is settled here I think. There are other questions this doesn’t clear up, like where he was born. But its a piece of the puzzle.
If Obama was more forthcoming, these questions would go away.
We need to look at this and see if any of out friends in Miami have friends in Cuba than can give this story some legs. http://www.babalublog.com/archives/010416.html
In the comment section this was posted! “Actually his father was from The mountain town of Pinga Dura in Oriente. Thats what they say around here.”

Here is the full text:
Is Obama Cuban? (Unverified, unattributed)
From my in box:
The possibility that Barack Obama will be the next president of the USA has sparked the curiosity of his origin and his family. Ann Durken, mother of Obama, at age 18 visited Cuba , with a group to give support to the Castro government. During her stay in Cuba in 1960, she was involved with voluntary work living in a commune in the central zone of Cuba, where she met a young Cuban Francisco Cundo from the town of Sagua la Grande....When Ann left Cuba in Dec 1960, she was 2 months pregnant. When she went back to Hawaii where her parents lived, she continued her studies at the University of Hawaii in Manoa where she met Barack Obama Sr., with whom she married in Feb. 1961. In his book “The Audacity of Hope”, Obama says that his mother was 4 months pregnant when she married his father. If we continue the chronology of these actions, one can prove that the biological father of the son of Ann was Cuban....Francisco Cundo not Barack Obama Sr. This creates a new situation if the possible new president Obama, since it would make him of Cuban origin with roots in the town of Sagua la Grande.

Wow, if true that would explain alot. Would he loose the black vote, we’ll never know.

lo que nos hacia falta...his mother’s name was Stanley Ann DUNHAM. Remenber he used to go as Barry Dunham. Hopefully just a case of a mistaken nangara.

Perhaps the Kenyan brother would provide a sample of his DNA for comparison to Barack’s DNA. Obviously Barack would like to know who he really is, along with all the rest of us.

There’s 50 million rumors out there about his place of birth, his “real” father etc. I don’t give any of them any credence. The only thing is why is there so much mystery? His mother must have been a piece of work

thus the reason for all the rumors. personally i could care less about where he was born and who was his real father. Neither of these made him the oportunistic, socialist lying cheating radical he is today.

I’m with you on it, Val. Ja, ja, ja, I also received that email this weekend, from Cuba. Nos hemos desternillado de la risa ;)

I heard his father was from Palo Cagao in Pinar Del Rio ???

Hey Peter, don’t knock on Palo Cagao. They make a great “shit on a stick” there.

The divorce papers stated that both Obama Sr. and Ann were living in Hawaii during the time of their marriage and when Obama was born. Unless she left the country between Feb. 1961 and August 61 when Obie was born, he was born in Hawaii.
Why he wouldn’t provide his birth records is the real mystery here. There was nothing to hide except maybe the fact that his parent’s divorce was not a nice thing but that was a public record as we see here or the fact that his mother was pregnant before she got marriaged. No big deal. That’s the way it is with half of Hollywood.
Perhaps Obie wanted our side to devote a lot of time and money to a less-than-relevant story. If so, he succeeded but he made himself seem like he was hiding something, a downer for his personna.
