Another book review:

The Hidden Obama

Mr. Maraniss's 641-page opus is an exhaustively reported journey through Mr. Obama's early past—a past that, until now, has been little explored despite David Remnick's 2010 biography of Mr. Obama and Janny Scott's 2011 biography of his mother. "Barack Obama: The Story," the first volume in what will supposedly be a multivolume biography, begins long before he is born—and, yes, just to be certain, Mr. Maraniss interviews people who worked on the maternity ward when Mr. Obama's mother gave birth to him in Honolulu in 1961—and ends when he is accepted into Harvard Law School in 1988.

Huh? Has anyone read the book?

[Fantasywriter]

Haven't read the book, but I might. Meanwhile, put your two posts together. He interviewed people who worked on the maternity ward...and was surprised by how few people remembered Obama.

The reviewer didn't specifically state that anyone at the hospital remembered SAD and/or Obama. Maybe they just spoke in generalities, or perhaps they demurred on the basis of protecting Obama’s privacy. Who knows?

[If one of them remembered Obama and SAD specifically, and went on the record by name, wouldn't we have heard of it by now?]
