But shortly after high-school graduation in 1960 she vanished from the Seattle area, and would have been little more than a foggy memory to most — if not for a son she had just a year later: Barack Obama.

Well, I came accross this little didy today... The rumor is that BHO is really the son of Malcolm X.
Now before you go and throw me to the wolves (not saying I totally believe it) you have got to check out this site. I have to tell you that when I watched the video of Malcolm, I was FREAKED out at the physical lkieness and the exact manerisms. Especially the hand jestures. It is downright CREEPY!!!!
So the Dunham’s abruptly moved to the new state of Hawaii (Aug of 1959) where whites were the minority and a mixed race child would be more accepted.
None of these dates makes sense. If Obama was born in Aug. 1961, his mother couldn't have been pregnant in the summer of 1960. If her parents moved to Hawaii in 1959 to escape the shame of an out of wedlock birth, she wasn't even pregnant then.
The forehead is finally right. Color, too.. who is that guy?
They’re hoping that by pleasing an arab, and adopting their customs, they won’t be captured as slaves; it’s the Stockholm effect:
“Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response “... in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which they have been placed.”
Then I’ll restate Calpernia’s question, which you haven’t answered, “what is your agenda?”
Malcolm X.
It’s right.
Malcom X is Barry’s baby daddy.
I must admit I’m quite surprised.
But it’s him, alright.
And that question highlights the entire problem, the only dates we do have follow the narrative of 'Dreams' - who moved where and when and on what date he was born have NOT been confirmed through any other means, as far as I am aware.

Kind of like his father being in the first Kennedy air lift from Kenya in 1959! Who edited this book?
I thought the original article posted on FreeRepublic was one that should be looked into but after back and forth discussion realize now that some of those dates are useless and confusing.
I was also concerned how BO could continue on in the campaign without showing his original birth certificate & how all of his timelines in his “Dreams” book were woven into enigmas of questionable times and dates and acquaintances that are either sealed, sanitized, missing, or off limits for double checking. It also got me interested when BO absolutely skipped over Ann’s time at Univ. of Washington...as if that didn’t even exist.
Too many unanswered questions to make me feel comfortable about him at all!
Re: the Malcolm X video, I have to laugh everytime I see Black Muslims. So good ol’ Malcolm went to Mecca, huh? I wonder if he speaks Arabic. A little story: When I was in college I lived in a house with Arab students, and their friends were always hanging out, this was probably around 1975, it was during the Lebanon War. Anyway, there was a black guy in our house too. Everytime this black guy would come home, they would all start talking in Arabic and laughing. One time we were all in the kitchen and this guy walks up the front walk and they did it again. So I said, what is so funny? This guy Machmood from Libya says “We are saying It looks like rain, here comes the black cloud again!” I was really shocked that they would do that and they said, “We Arabs, we hate the blacks. You did not know this?”
Known as Anna, Obama’s mother, was a strong-willed, unconventional member of the Mercer Island High School graduating class of 1960. She had spent 8th grade through high school there.

bump 4 later.
I must admit I have not read the book. For timelines I have mostly followed articles and Beckwith's THE OBAMA FILE.
If you have the book, could you let us know just what he does have to say about that period?
I think that Brad Pitt resembles Malcolm X more than Obama does.
Look closely at Malcolm’s picture. Tell me you don’t see Brad Pitt looking back at you. Mouth, chin, jaw, eyes - all the same.
Even their hairline is the same shape. Notice that Malcolm also had a blonde mustache?
I’m sorry, but Obama doesn’t look a thing like Malcolm X.
The articles I read never actually put her in bed with Malcom X.. there is a lot of resemblance.
And this is what Malcolm had to say about him (from his wikipedia page):
“Her Scottish father was a white man of whom Malcolm Little knew nothing except what he described as his mother’s shame.[12] Malcolm inherited his light complexion from his mother and grandfather. Initially he felt it was a status symbol to be light-skinned, but later he would say that he “hated every drop of that white rapist’s blood that is in me.”[”
from THE OBAMA FILE. FAMILY
In August, 1961, she enrolled in a University of Washington extension course. Between August, 1961 and March 1962, she enrolled in a total of four extension courses at the University of Washington, earning a total of 20 credits for her work in those courses, no small feat, considering that graduation required 180 credits, and the typical full time student earned 45 credits a year.
It was a curious academic choice. Why would she enroll in extension courses at the University of Washington when she had found herself intellectually stimulated during her previous year of studies at the University of Hawaii?
In 1962, Anna, as a single mother, enrolled in the UW for spring quarter and lived in an apartment on Capitol Hill.

Slave Trade in the World Today
Slavery may be illegal in much of the world, but it still goes on. See auctions of stolen children and scenes from a sheik’s harem. Most of the footage comes from India and the Middle East. ~ All Movie Guide
I agree, it really looks like him. But we have to nail down Malcolm Little/X being in the same place with Stanley Ann.
