Who Was Barack Obama’s Father?
NEWSWEEK ^ | July 11, 2011 | by Andrew Romano

Posted on 07/11/2011 6:41:08 PM PDT by Fred Nerks

To read Sally H. Jacobs’s new biography of Barack Hussein Obama Sr. is to realize that his son, the president, spent much of his life reaching for a shadow he was lucky never to catch. Early in The Other Barack, a childhood playmate recalls how Obama Sr. would frequently snap at him and shout, “You don’t know what you are talking about.” A few chapters later, the editor of the University of Hawaii literary magazine describes Obama Sr. barreling into his office, unprovoked, to declare that a particular poem wasn’t “worth a damn.” Back in Nairobi, says one government official, Obama Sr. would “slam his fist on the table” and claim that a rival “knows nothing about math or economics”; he would go on to describe other colleagues as “intellectual dwarfs.” As college friend and current Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie tells Jacobs, Obama Sr. could never “contain his irritation with people who were not as facile as he, and he did not hesitate to say so.”

The president, of course, has a healthy ego. But this is something else. Every shred of available evidence—which Jacobs, a veteran reporter, spent two years and 75,000 miles of intercontinental travel ably assembling—suggests that the senior Obama was an unmitigated jerk: a coxcombish souse who forced friends to cover his abundant bar tabs and repeatedly broke his legs in boozy car crashes; an uncooperative contrarian who was promptly fired from, or sidelined at, every job he ever had; a compulsive philanderer who ditched his first wife, Kezia Nyandega, when he moved to America, abandoned the president’s mother, Ann Dunham, when he left Hawaii for Harvard, and lured his third wife, Ruth Baker, to Kenya only to beat, berate, and cheat on her.

And yet, if Obama Sr. were only a jerk, there wouldn’t be...

I really doubt it’s Malcom X. I don’t think it’s Sr. either. Probably some black guy that lived in Seattle IF Stanley is the mother which I highly doubt. X didn’t go out with white women and if he had chosen to do it once why would it have been Stanley. She is ugly, ugly ugly! If he was going to have a fling with a white woman I think he would have at least chosen a pretty one.

I still think he has Dunham genes, I just don’t think they came from Stanley ANNE.

SAD or Malcolm X weren’t in any type of connect when she became pregnant. She probably didn’t even know who zero’s father was...SAD’s Dad found BHO SR....he was a paid father for zero...

MX was definitely NOT into white women. And was pretty outspoken about it.


I do not think SAD was the mother; all evidence points to a different scenario than the promoted myth. The mother may not have been of European ethnicity at all. MX had a white grandfather and was not very dark; if the mother was also somewhat medium complexioned herself rather than pale like SAD, that would account for the complexion of Zero very easily.

The myth in Dreams is that Stanely is his mother.

There is no evidence for this other than what is presented in the myth. Obviously the birth certs are forged; there are no - not one - photo of Stanley pregnant or with Zero less than at least three years old, the entire Seattle episode is more than puzzling and so on. The name “Anna Obama” is a huge clue.

Open your mind to the possibility that both parents may be fictitious and just read with a “clean slate” in your mind, the picture because very different.

I've read that he is the son of his supposed grandfather who was actually his father...I understand his grandfather—father—was an adulterous especially with black women...and zero is the outcome of one of those affairs. Too bad if that is true because he'd be a NBC in every sense of the word.

I thought I saw a picture of him and SAD when he was quite young...2 years old maybe. Since, we have found most of those pictures are photoshopped..that one is probably another fake.

A new book reveals him, warts and all, as a man his son would not become

Obama II ought to be happy that. We've known for quite some time the kind of man his father was.

Why do you think it wasn’t Malcom X?

Next question:

Who’s his mother.


Malcolm X: skinny, but chin, ears, eyes are radically different from those of Obama.

Mother: extreme similarity of features to those of Stanley Ann.

Obama Sr. ‘adoption’ memo raises questions


Posted: July 08, 2011
1:00 am Eastern

© 2011
Boston Globe reporter Sally Jacobs has a book coming out next week on Barack Obama Sr. titled “The Other Barack: The Bold and Reckless Life of President Obama’s Father.”

On July 7, Jacobs wrote an article for Boston.com whose headline teased the reader with bombshells to come, “Father spoke of having Obama adopted.”

Jacobs’ source for this information is an INS document, one of a batch that she received in 2009 and has sat on for the last two years.

In her article, Jacobs specifically cites an April 12, 1961, memo written by an official in the Honolulu office of the INS named Lyle H. Dahling.

Jacobs has a good deal to account for here. One, of course, is the ethical question of whether a newspaper reporter should sit on a relevant news story for two years to enhance book sales down the road.

A second question is why in her article she describes Obama Sr. as a “24-year-old” in the spring of 1961. According to all INS documents from Hawaii, Obama Sr. was born on June 18, 1934, which would have made him 26.

Deep in the article, Jacobs notes, “Obama’s family members and other records indicate that he was probably born in 1936.” Probably? Jacobs gives no explanation as to why he would lie to the INS or why she cannot pinpoint the DOB of the subject of her biography.

One wonders whether she is trying to align Obama Sr.’s age with the “25” that will appear as his age on President Obama’s putative long-form birth certificate from August 1961.

A third question that arises is how Jacobs can describe Dunham’s departure for Seattle weeks after the alleged birth of her son as during “a visit to Seattle.” Dunham would spend the next year in Seattle.

A fourth issue is Jacobs’ implication that having an American wife and child presented an immigration problem for Obama Sr. She writes, “A bigamist with a mixed-race baby, if that is how authorities chose to see him, was not likely to be the strongest of candidates.”

In fact, it was Obama Sr. who told the INS officials about the wife and child, and they were openly skeptical about the validity of the marriage.

The most significant problem with Jacobs’ reporting, however, is that she seems to have gotten information others did not.

Wrote Dahling in the memo, based on a recent conversation with Obama Sr., “Subject got his USC wife ‘Hapai’ and although they were married they do not live together and Miss Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away.’’

“Hapai” apparently is Hawaiian for pregnant. “USC” is shorthand for “United States citizen.” According to Jacobs, the Dahling memo also noted that Obama Sr. had previously been warned about his “playboy ways.”

This same memo showed up in the batch requested by the Arizona Independent and posted online the evening of April 26, 2011, the night before President Obama shared his birth certificate.

Although reporter Heather Smathers had the same April 12 memo that talked about Obama Sr.’s “playboy ways,” the Independent did not report on the potential adoption.

The reason for Smathers’ silence was simple enough: The critical sentence had been redacted on the document she received. In terms of sentence flow and length, it would seem to fit right in place in the middle of the document’s third paragraph.

Redacted too from the Independent’s documents are the critical words that strongly suggest that, while at Harvard, Obama Sr. impregnated a Kenyan high school exchange student and sent her to London for an abortion.

If these show up in Jacobs’ book un-redacted, someone at the INS will have some explaining to do.

It’s The Theology Stupid!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5921629142284078851

Watch the whole film to see the breaking news and completely understand Black Liberation Theology (and learn why white people can’t be saved) It is not jus Rev Wright Barack Obama and Farrakhan use identical rhetoric over and over. (Not just sound bites but entire concepts) Obama in speeches to predominantly African American audiences covers every aspect of Black Liberation Theology even admitting in 2007 that Trinity is perceived as a separatist church James Cone, the founder of Black Liberation Theology, says white people cannot be Christians Reverend Otis Moss III, the new pastor at Obama’s church calls white people the enemy, and says Malcolm x is the greatest cultural icon of the twentieth century Farrakhan calls Barack Obama the Messiah Watch the whole film to understand why both Michelle and Barack Obama put down America as part of their theology Once you see the whole film the connection between Wright, Obama and Farrakhan makes sense. Watch this entire movie to understand how a presidential Candidate completely embraces Black Separatist, Black Power, and Nation of Islam, Black Liberation Theology and anti American ideas Please pass this film on!!!! As alternative media we are committed to stopping the pundits and news commentators from framing this as a “Pastor Disaster” Barrack Obama completly understands and uses the words and concepts of Black Liberation Theology

Perhaps you should put context around your post, for those who cannot or have not followed the research closely.

The Seattle thing is very suspect. No Seattle for Stanley was mentioned in Dreams, it was only cobbled together after the mysterious "Anna Obama" listing was found in the Polk Directory, and Mary Toutonghi was found to have babysat "Anna". Stories changed here and there, people were told not to talk to reporters, and a purported transcript was emailed to Corsi... That's about it for Stanley in Seattle.

I wonder how certain it is that Ruth Ndesjando is the same person as Baker. How trustworthy is this journalist?
