Dreams From My Father- Page 76-77..............

He would read us poetry whenever we stopped by his house, sharing whiskey with Gramps out of an emptied jelly jar. As the night wore on, the two of them would solicit my help in composing dirty limericks. Eventually the conversation
would turn to laments about women.

I was intrigued by old Frank, with his books and whiskey breath and the hint of hard-earned knowledge behind the hooded eyes. The visits to his house always left me feeling vaguely uncomfortable, though, as if I were witnessing some complicated, unspoken, transaction between the two men, a transaction I couldn’t fully understand. The same thing I felt when Gramps took me downtown to one of his favorite bars in Honolulu’s red-light district.

“Don’t tell your grandmother,” he would say with a wink, and we’d walk past hard-faced, soft-bodied streetwakers into a small, dark bar with a jukebox and a couple of pool tables. Nobody seemed to mind that Gramps was the only white man in the place, or that I was the only eleven- or twelve-year old. Some of the men leaning across the bar would wave at us, and the bartender, a big light-skinned woman with bare, fleshy arms, would bring a Scotch for Gramps and a Coke for me. If nobody else was playing at the tables Gramps would spot me a few balls and teach me the game, but usually I would sit at the bar, dangling my legs from the high stool, blowing bubbles into my drink and looking at the pornographic art on the walls, the phosphorescent women on animal skins, the Disney characters in compromising positions.

Yep, typical observations of a young homo sexual.

Interesting, thanks. But I have NO desire to read his book.

Video - Barack Hussein 0bama Sr. was born on April 4, 1936 and died November 24, 1982. He was 5 years old when WW II started, and 9 years old when it ended.

Lolo Soetoro (0bama's step father) born on January 2, 1935 and died March 2, 1987. He was 6 years old when WW II started, and 10 years old when it ended.

In this clip from June 28, 2008, Barry claimed his father served in WWII. Was he telling us the truth? Was Stanley Armour Dunham really his father?

[Thanks, mojitojoe. Bookmarked. Yeah, sometimes verified facts are deleted from FR.]

Here's a question: why was the (alleged) Grandmother Madelyn Dunham not interred with Stanley Armour Dunham? He, or his ashes, are buried in the Hawaiian Military Cemetery, and as his wife, there was a free place for her. She helped rear Barry Dunham Soretero 0bama, after all.
