BOSTON - Barack Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, says Donald Trump disrespected her family by questioning the president's birthplace.

Trump quoted Obama's grandmother when she claimed to have witnessed Barack Obama's birth in Kenya, and Onyango says that is not true.....

Sean Hannity is going to have Trump on next hour

Are they hearts or little crowns? They don’t look like little “afros” which if they were would be one of the stupidest things in the world.

[azishot]

Didn’t Stanley Ann have more than one SS number?

You're right. I know I've seen them posted on FR (several times) but also know that I'll never be able to find the post. And some of them were different variations of her name, too. Betcha Fred Nerks would know.

[azishot]

Little “afros”. Even for a 5th grader that’s just dumb.

Isn’t he supposed to be left handed? In post 1320 does that signature look like a left handed person wrote it?

My brother if a lefty and his letters slant to the left. Just wondering.

“Just think of HOW MANY contributed to and knew about this POS’s ineligibility!”

How many DemRATS does it take to make a president?

I think the fact that Maslan (MIHS student class of ‘59) was a witness to the wedding of that particular John Hunt makes him the right guy. Also, Hunt still has the same wife which is somewhat rare and helps ID him. Most of them have been to the alter multiple times.

“she did her own dissertation fieldwork in the same part of South-Central Java as Dr. Dunham”

And Maya found her research on disc in a drawer after she died...

[Eva]

People say that Barack was known as Barry Soetoro at Occidental. Of course, it’s all hearsay, since all those records are also sealed.

[Fred Nerks]

From June 1977 through September 1978, Dunham carried out research on village industries in the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY)—the Yogyakarta Special Region within Central Java in Indonesia under a student grant from the East-West Center.[41] As a weaver herself, Dunham was interested in village industries, and moved to Yogyarkarta City, the center of Javanese handicrafts.[36][42]

~snip

On August 9, 1992 she was awarded Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Hawaii, under the supervision of Prof. Alice Dewey, with a dissertation titled Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: surviving and thriving against all odds.[45] Anthropologist Michael Dove described the dissertation as “a classic, in-depth, on-the-ground anthropological study of a 1,200-year-old industry”.[46] According to Dove, Dunham’s dissertation challenged popular perceptions regarding economically and politically marginalized groups...

Looks like they decided to use Dewey’s left-overs to create a monument for Stanley Ann Dunham, doesn’t it?

How many DemRATS does it take to make a president?

It's not just the dems but republicans as well. Even when I write to my rep. and senators they respond by quoting SNOPES (blech) and how they proved that B0 is eligible. They all have their heads in the sand or up their...well, you know where.

Here are the statements culled from the various articles that speak to which floor they were on:

* Obamas lived on second floor
* Anna and Barack lived above the basement
* Obamas’ on first main floor
* Obamas’ windows looked out over street
* Obamas’ apartment (re old photo) three paned windows on the far right corner above garage
* on main floor, divided into four studio apartments about 500 square feet each
* Obamas lived in apartments (plural) above garage
* it was a small apartment, upstairs

Not exactly conclusive, is it?

Then I asked if anyone has SEEN an actual yearbook.

So you come up with cropped, photoshopped pages in a news story from some obscure online paper, allegedly from a yearbook; but they would be far more convincing if they were photos of ACTUAL PAGES from the yearbooks, with CONTEXT.

Well whaddya know:

Obama in '73

When I was home in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago I decided to dig through the boxes in my mom's garage and find some of my old Na Opios (the lower school yearbook at Punahou School). I was looking for a picture of one of the big kids, three years ahead of me at a school named Barry Obama, now more commonly referred to as Barack. For reference, in 1973 Barry was a big 6th grader and I was just a little 3rd grader.

Here is the picture I found (I blurred out the other non-public figures) apparently taken at a pencil chewers convention -- the Na Opio never featured stiff formal portraits:

So there ya go. Someone has seen a yearbook. With his own eyes. His own personal copy. Way back in 2007. He did a scan of a decent portion of a page, not just the immediate photo. And it shows Obama using the name 'Obama' in 1973.

“...How the heck can anyone write at length about such a thing?”

August 17, 2009 Beautiful, handcrafted fabrics collected by President Obama’s mother are on display at the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C.

The late Ann Dunham began purchasing the hand-dyed textiles when she lived in Indonesia in the 1960s.

The colorful fabrics — known as batiks — are created by covering portions of cloth with molten wax, dying the cloth, and then scraping and re-applying more wax in different patters. The cloth is then dipped into a different color dye. These processes are repeated to produce intricate patterns and colors.

Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s half-sister, remembers that back when she and big brother Barack lived in Jakarta, their mother wore batik almost every day.

“These batiks were seen on the street in the ‘60s; everybody wore batik” explains Mattiebelle Gittinger, a research associate at the Textile Museum. She says the fabrics probably cost $6 or $7 at the time.

Dunham didn’t buy fancy batiks — nothing antique, or party-ready. But Gittinger says Dunham had an educated eye, and her unusual beige, cocoa and coffee-colored batiks, with their elaborate white, black and dark blue patterns, were carefully chosen — not to mention frequently worn.

“She had clothing made of batiks to fit her dimensions — which were robust,” Soetoro-Ng says delicately. “And she would go and speak to the batik sellers and batik makers and she became very much a part of their lives and incorporated their stories into her love for the crafts.”

The disclaimer is a CYA. Bill Clinton got it right...he said it was nothing but a fairytale, remember?

THEY KNOW.

or a girlie boy

[Nepeta]

I’ve made batiks. They are nothing exotic—I was doing them in high school in the 1960s. This makes it sound as if Stanley Ann was unearthing something New and Wonderful.

[Fred Nerks]

Just noticed that “Ann’s” 1983 trip was on little Barry’s birthday. 8/4/83

That small detail ecaped me, (not that we know when his birthday really might be). It's the earlier date - I think it was in March that I find of interest, that's when zero showed up in Kenya shortly after the old man's funeral, and it looks like they took Alice Dewey with them. Kezia says 'she was like a sister to me' remember? Of course she would be nice...that has to be the trip they made to introduce themselves (insinuate themselves) into the kenyan family. But it was MARK who inherited the personal possessions of the old man. NOT ZERO. Obviously he couldn't prove who he claimed to be. Funny, that?

[Fred Nerks]

Maybe an idea to keep them a little smaller, someone has to pay for the bandwidth remember?

[Fred Nerks]

...What they do NOT want anyone to look at is parentage.

And that's WHY the KENYA KENYA KENYA stories are allowed to float and all the articles that refer to him as KENYA BORN have not been scrubbed. As long as the KENYA myth lives, Barak Hussein Obama ONYANGO remains in people's minds AS THE FATHER!

[little jeremiah]

I wonder who this is????

An op-ed in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution by local attorney and anti-birther blogger Loren Collins took more wind from House Bill 401’s sails.
