Ed Hale of Plains Radio has secured a copy of the Dunham/Obama divorce decree as promised. He has registered this at the courthouse and has turned the document over to lawyers who are reported to be happy and enthused over the contents.
This is the first page. This is all that can be divulged at this time as those who have seen the decree are sworn to silence. You may hear information about it tonight on Ed's plainsradio show.
That’s the one I was looking for! Thanks
Thanks for that article I had never seen it before. He was Jr’s roommate while Jr was at Columbia so what happened to Saddiq?
Russia? Please post more info when you get it and could you ping me?
I had to force myself to read 39 pages of Jr’s fiction to confirm that he himself mentioned the first home his grandparents lived in when they moved to Hawaii. I would dearly love to get a copy of David Mendell’s book so I can read it. Mendell is the only one who ever talked with Madelyn Dunham and Jr pretty much called her a liar for what she said about him and drugs. It would be fun to check for inconsistencies in Mendell’s book, although he was the first to point out that Jr dislikes journalists questioning him(Jr outright told him he didn’t see the need for Mendell to question him, all Mendell needed to know about Jr was written in Jr’s book) and doesn’t like being followed around since it prevents him from sneaking a smoke.
Too bad people didn’t listen to what Madelyn Dunham said to him after his 2004 speech or maybe more people would have cast their ballots for someone else. Granny Dunham told him, “You did good, don’t let it go to your head, and keep your head on straight.” Granny knew her grandson!

Thanks! I was looking through my “dirt in woodpile” file for an article which mentions roommates from Oxy and some of those who were around when he first went to NYC, including Saddiq, but I can’t find it right now.
I did find an article with some of his high school classmates mentioned and will include the link here.
http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/08/11/news/story02.html
Now back to searching my file of over 200 links for the specific article I know I have! IIRC not everyone drank the Jr koolaid and some mentioned how arrogant he was. Not all his dorm mates were impressed with him.
Here is what Jr wrote in his fiction about that:
Many years later, Barack Jr., then in high school, found a clipping of the article in a family stash of birth certificates and old vaccination forms. Why wasn’t his name there, or his mother’s? He wondered, he later wrote, “whether the omission caused a fight between my parents.”
Found at this link:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/22/AR2008082201679_pf.html
Alot of new information on this page. Begin at 1,803 and read remainder of page. Or, begin at the end and read backwards.
Color me jaded, my gut is telling me this story has been ready to go for a while. IOW it was released now for a reason. Wonder what that reason is?
After all this time why is it important to supposedly document the Cloumbia Years?
Just read on another thread somewhere an account from some woman who knew him at Oxy and said he was “flirty” but not a “player”. I assume not being a “player” means he wasn’t dating girls.
Sure look like 0bama and Saddiq are sitting awfully close together, just sayin’...
When I find the article I was looking for about Jr’s friends in Oxy and early NYC years I will post it but in the meantime for all those who say Jr used Barry Soetoro from the time Lolo adopted him note the caption in this 1973 Punahou yearbook found here:

Perhaps the stories are provided as a distraction, something to focus on so people can find out a little bit more about the enigma. Some stories have been scrubbed while others have not and it makes me question why?
If they can scrub some, they should be able to scrub others. If they are leaving some, they must have a reason, unless they just haven’t gotten to them yet, or maybe they realize they can’t scrub every single story without some people questioning the total absence of anything about the fiend. Or have some other reason.
The photo with Saddiq set off the old gaydar especially for Saddiq.
Most men don’t like to sit squenchled together on one end of the couch.
Thanks, LucyT
Ping.
Radix, I don’t want to get into an argument over this — that is DEFINITELY NOT my intention. It’s even possible that I’ve misunderstood your comment, and if that is the case, please accept my apologies... (Patriot08, I’m just pinging you on this post because it’s a reply to Radix’s reply to your post...)
However, there is something to be said for “knowing your enemy”. If someone wants to REALLY be effective in countering propaganda, it helps to understand where the other side is coming from — especially in how they turn phrases, or what methods of persuasion they are using.
Granted, I personally have not read all of Barack’s books - I don’t know if I could stomach them. But, I wouldn’t accuse someone of not being a “Real Freeper” if they had more intestinal fortitude than I and actually read these books. Just reading them doesn’t mean that you agree with what is in them!
After all, do you think everyone who’s read Mein Kampf is a NAZI? Or, everyone who’s read The Communist Manifesto is a Marxist? I think not.
We have to be careful to not make judgments about people based on the books they’ve read!
Also, it is possible to quote something from Barack’s books, or know some of the things in them without having read the entire thing as well. :)
Speaking of Obama in Russia.

Obama part of group locked up at Russian airport // U.S. delegation stripped of passports as guards demand to inspect plane
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Monday, August 29, 2005
Author: Lynn Sweet, Sun-Times Washington Bureau chi
WASHINGTON Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) were not allowed to leave a Russian airport Sunday and were locked in a room briefly.
The incident prevented their departure for about three hours, but Obama told the Sun-Times it ended up not being a very big deal.
The senators had their passports seized by local officials at an airport in Perm. Obama said the officials demanded, unsuccessfully, to inspect the DC-9 military aircraft being used by the congressional delegation for the trip.
(snip)
Although he was on a first-time diplomatic mission, Obama has traveled extensively, spending part of his youth in Indonesia and visiting Kenya, where his father was born. He noted that as a back- packing college student he had a lot less leverage than this time.
Obama , a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Lugar, its chairman, left Wednesday for a trip to inspect sites where nuclear and biological weapons are slated to be destroyed in Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. On Sunday, the U.S. group was scheduled to fly from Perm to Kiev, Ukraine. But border guards wanted proof that the groups aircraft which Obama said looked like a mini-Air Force One was really an official U.S. government plane, which would be exempt from an inspection.
Robert Gibbs, Obama s spokesman traveling with him, said in an e-mail that the border guards took our passports and demanded to inspect our aircraft, which we refused. We were moved to a room to wait.
At one point they were demanding to inspect virtually everything, including the gifts their representatives at the missile facility had given us. The border guard said they were acting on the authority of the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency.
