Obama's missing year
www.wnd.com ^ | February 11, 2010 | Jack Cashill

Until last week, I had avoided the swamplands of Barack Obama's origins, a place from which reputations rarely return.

What prompted my interest was a reader inquiry into a poem by then 19-year-old Obama called "Pop," a cynical bit of work almost assuredly written about his maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham, or "Gramps."

In researching the meaning of the poem – Obama's oeuvre being my own personal swamp – I came to a conclusion I had not anticipated, namely that there is a full year missing from Obama's biography, his first year.

According to the standard Obama biography, Barack Obama was born to the 18-year-old Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. on Aug. 4, 1961.

The accepted story line is that the brilliant, charismatic Barack Sr. had swept the quiet Ann off her feet, impregnated her, married her and left reluctantly for Harvard after a year of nurturing the baby Obama in Hawaii.

This eye-popping oversight raises a fundamental question: Why are we to trust the narrative that the mainstream collective has spun about the year leading up to Obama's birth?

Obama has lied to the public openly about his own historical narrative:

something happened back here in Selma, Alabama. Something happened in Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called, “Ripples of hope all around the world.” Something happened when a bunch of women decided they were going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry, looking after somebody else's children. When men who had PhD’s decided that's enough and we’re going to stand up for our dignity. That sent a shout across oceans so that my grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who grew up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his sights a little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a chance.

What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation. It worried folks in the White House who said, “You know, we're battling Communism. How are we going to win hearts and minds all across the world? If right here in our own country, John, we're not observing the ideals set fort in our Constitution, we might be accused of being hypocrites.” So the Kennedy’s decided we're going to do an air lift. We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.

This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that the world as it has been it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama.

I’m here because somebody marched. I’m here because you all sacrificed for me. I stand on the shoulders of giants. I thank the Moses generation; but we've got to remember, now, that Joshua still had a job to do. As great as Moses was, despite all that he did, leading a people out of bondage, he didn't cross over the river to see the Promised Land. God told him your job is done. You'll see it. You'll be at the mountain top and you can see what I’ve promised. What I’ve promised to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. You will see that I’ve fulfilled that promise but you won't go there.

- Barack Obama - March 2007

Timeline:

1960 (President is Ike, VP Richard Nixon runs against Senator John Kennedy for the presidency)

Ann Dunham is 18. Her family moves to Honolulu, Hawaii. Ann begins classes at the University of Hawaii.

- She meets Barack Obama Sr. in a Russian-language class. Barack Obama Sr. is a foreign student from Kenya, who has a magnetic personality. Barack Obama Sr. is very opinionated, talkative and passionate. The two start dating.

- Ann tells her parents about her African boyfriend and they invite him for dinner.

February 2, 1961: Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. get married in Maui in a discreet ceremony. Nobody is invited. At the time of the wedding Ann is already three months pregnant with Barack Obama Jr.

August 4, 1961: Barack Obama Jr. is born. Ann is eighteen. She drops out of college after one semester in the University of Hawaii.

1964

Ann files for divorce from Barack Obama Sr. and he signs the papers.

The Selma to Montgomery marches were three marches in 1965 that marked the political and emotional peak of the American Civil Rights Movement.

They were the culmination of the voting rights movement in Selma, Alabama, launched by Amelia Boynton and her husband. Boynton brought many prominent leaders of the American Civil Rights Movement to Selma, including James Bevel, who initiated and organized the march; Martin Luther King, Jr.; and Hosea Williams.

The first march took place on March 7, 1965 — "Bloody Sunday" — when 600 civil rights marchers were attacked by state and local police with billy clubs and tear gas. The second march took place on March 9. Only the third march, which began on March 21 and lasted five days, made it to Montgomery, 54 miles (87 km) away.

---- Mr. Obama, YOU LIE.

I have never bought this "reluctantly left for Harvard" story. In Dreams (and elsewhere) Obama claims that his father had to leave for Harvard without him and his momma because Harvard would only provide enough of a stipend for one person.

This makes no sense. Ann Dunham worked virtually her entire adult life except perhaps when she was in college. If she wanted to go to Boston with Barack the supposed father and the baby, she could have gone, found employment, and hired a babysitter.

Obviously there was no love lost between these two, and neither of them had misgivings about the departure for Harvard.

And there was documentation that she was in Seattle with 3 week old Barry, going to school. Seattle, Boston, what’s the difference? Weaving a story is the difference.

Ann Dunham’s grandparents were well-heeled and Communist in world view, so neither the money to have Ann live with her “husband/partner,” nor the fact of interracial marriage/partnership or interracial grandchildren would have been an issue with them.

Assuming Barack Obama Sr. was the charming intellectual that Obama Jr's writing claims, the grandparents, too, would have loved Obama Sr. In fact, how would Obama Jr know his alleged father was a charmer unless his mother and grandparents concurred that he was, or unless the ghost writer claimed he was for the fictional history or the would be candidate?

The Dunhams had not lived so long in Hawaii that their attachment to it would have been so strong that no one could imagine precocious, outspoken, intellectually engaged Ann living for a few years of her “coming of age” in culture-rich, academic powerhouse, Boston. There would have been big academic opportunities for her there, too. If she was such a hot shot, she would have been able to study there, too, perhaps with a semester's delay. There are lots of colleges there, even if she didn't get into Harvard herself. It seems that Ann did anyway leave her kids with the parents often to study elsewhere.

Reportedly he was a bigamist (or polygamist) and their marriage was not legal anyway.

I do not believe the poem was about Gramps. I think it was about Frank. Frank had heavy lobes, Gramps didn't. Frank wrote poems, had a book of poetry published, no evidence Gramps ever wrote poetry.

I am certain of one thing and only one thing.... and that is that Barry is hiding something. What is he hiding? It could be many things, it's up to us to find out what it is. We can't have a president that is a complete fabrication and mystery as to who he is.

Ann didn't have the attachment to Barry that she had to her daughter Maya. In 1970(the year Frank was divorced and his wife moved out) Anne flies to Hawaii and dumps Barry off then leaves. Why did she do that? Why did Gramps and FMD raise Barry? Why? Why is there not a single photo of Anne and Sr. together until Barry was around 10 years old and only that one time? Why are there no photos of Anne pregnant? Why doesn't a single person recall she and Sr. ever being together or Anne being pregnant? It's as if Dreams was written to create a past that never really existed. The facts just do not add up. Why?

If I was Barry and I was president, I can assure you that all my facts would add up. School records, college records, neighbors, classmates, friends, relatives, physicians, all would add up and the time line would be perfect. There would be no gaps. I really think he will not run again because he knows he is going to have to pony up and he can't do it.

I think Rahm went to Africa in December of 2008 to *fix* things. I think when the power was out all night in Hawaii while Barry was there in December of 2008 there were things *fixed*. I think foreign leaders know things about Barry that they are holding over his head. I think SCOTUS is afraid to touch it due to the fact that it would create absolute chaos and make the us look weak and like fools due to the idiots that voted for this empty suit mystery TOTUS.
There are so many other questions and gaps in his time line that I could spend all day listing them, but that would be redundant. Private investigators, researchers are on this issue daily. They are gathering their evidence, building their case. Nothing is being leaked and shouldn't be. When the time is right, probably in 2011, he will be exposed for the fraud he is.

He will play the wounded deer, say his family lied to him, it won't work, the evidence will prove he is a liar and a fraud.

Pop

Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I'm sure he's unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he's still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He's so unhappy, to which he replies . . .
But I don't care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I've been saving; I'm laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I've got on mine and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shink, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; ‘cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
And know he's laughing too.

— Barack Obama

I put information together from what I found online. The timeline was somewhere online, I added the political events (selma march, election of JFK, etc) that were not in the original (which detailed his mother and “father”’s relationship.

My original intent was to show Obama’s lies in his speech at Selma. Complete fabrications.

I may be wrong, but I think he was served the papers, but never got them and never signed them.

Someone should post the two pictures we’ve seen before, of baby Barry and Frank; side-by-side, there is a stunning resemblance. Barry grew out of it, for the most part, showing more genetic facial structure of the Dunhams. But when first born, that baby looked like Frank! ... Toots and Stanley accomplished an amazing feat in geting Barack to sign onto the notion that he was the father. I wonder, do ya suppose Toots&co rewarded Barack well before his fleeing to popints East? He did have funds to travel back and forth to Kenya in that era.

That particular lie is one that he has been confronted with on several occasions.

However I want to suggest to you that one reason the marriage in February of 1961 was not on the record anywhere is because it really happened in Kenya, either in some location where there was a limited paper record or alternatively where the record has been scrubbed.
