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...

Re: Stanley Ann and Seattle, there are two items of interest in the FOIA-released Immigration and Naturalization Service documents on Obama, Sr., who apparently had the same sleeze behavior reputation and associated “problems” at the Univ. of Hawaii that he later had at Harvard. In their turn, Harvard was successful in getting him booted out of the country. My copies came from a scribd posting, and all documents are stamped with “www.HeatherSmathers.com”. That site most likely has a link to the docs.

The first curious thing is in a memo dated April 12, 1961.
Quoting: “...[foreign student advisor] called on 4/10/61 and reported that BARACK H> OBAMA, a student at the University since 1959 was married on february 2, 1961 to Stanley Ann dunham, a United states citizen from Seattle, Washington in Maui, Hawaii.”

All our information has been that Stanley Ann graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1960, and that she and her parents then [summer of 1960] moved to Hawaii.

By April of 1961, Stanley Ann had been [supposedly] a resident of Hawaii for appx. 9 months. Since she was a resident of Hawaii, why would the INS describe her as “...from Seattle...”??? [This is the same memo wherein Obama is quoted as saying his pregnant wife Stanley Ann had been speaking with the Salvation Army about giving the expected baby out for adoption.]

The other document of interest is a memo dated August 31, 1961, which says, in part, re: Subject Barack H. Obama and his United states citizen spouse:
“They have one child born Honolulu on 8/4/61 - Barack OBAMA II, child living with mother (she lives with her parents & Subject resides at 1482 Alineastre [?] St.)”

So we know with fair certainty that the “Selma March lovebirds” of Barry’s speeches never lived together as husband and wife.

Also in the 8/31/61 memo: “U.S.C. [United states Citizen] spouse to go to Wash. State University next semester.”

At that time in history, the college/university fall semester didn’t commence until the third week of September, so this confirms Stanley Ann’s being in Seattle and enrolled in the university for that fall 1961 semester.

So why the secrecy from Barry concerning his mother’s dumping the baby daddy to, first, live with her parents, and second, dumping him to move to Seattle. Is Barry ashamed of his mother’s behavior? Not likely - he could have easily spun the facts to his advantage by making mama out to have been martyred at an earlier date than when he was age 2. But that would have meant painting daddy as a real scumbag turd - and THAT wouldn’t fit with Barry’s politically necessary afro-blackness-noble-dreams-from-BHO-smartest-Kenyan-commie-baby-daddy. Barry learned how to throw people under the bus by watching and learning from his mother - and wasn’t she just the most excellent teacher!

Interesting that Jacobs would describe Stanley Ann as on “a visit to Seattle”. My understanding has been that the Heather Smathers of the heathersmathers.com web site stamped on these docs got the docs from Jacobs, so Jacobs certainly should have known SAD was not merely “visiting” Seattle.

And voila! Jacobs was just on O’Reilly’s show [2nd showing of the night]. She’s very obviously an O-BOT: her demeanor was that she was running defense for the Won. She was “clearly” pissed off at his disgust that Senior had deserted his son.

I haven’t read Jacob’s book yet. With Barry, expediency is rule number one. Judging by her attitude and demeanor on O’Reilly tonight, it wouldn’t be a surprise to find Barry had commissioned Jacobs to write the book. The FOIA docs have damaged his lying dream-view of daddy; the same docs, plus the FOIA docs of mama’s passport history - which exposed her deviousness and lying re: Soetoro’s trying to stay in the U.S. - have done considerable harm to his “story”. 2012 is coming, and he needs a book out there remaking mama, and his l-o-v-e for her into saint-making material.

Looking over that link, I see that Ruth’s second husband was a Mr. MPHURU and that he’s still living (or was at the time of the posting there). What the heck is that?? The story we’ve been spoonfed is that Obama was the first husband and the second was Mark and David’s stepfather, NDESANDJO. That site ignores how Ndesandjo came into the picture and the goofy spelling of Ruth’s supposed maiden name that just so happened to have been a convoluted jumble of NDESANDJO - as if anyone believed that one.

It has Sr. being born in ‘34. Not that I believe everything posted on ancestory sites so wonder if they have anything else or it’s just what we know already.

It has a birth date for David as ‘66 and nothing else. So, yeah, probably nothing more than what we already know meaning take that site with a grain of salt.

Back to that genealogy site - they have Joseph K. NDESANDJO
as Ruth and Mr. MPHURU’s son. As I said before, grain of salt.

About the ongoing mystery of who sired Barry -—

It’s truly weird that so many men fall into the “could be”, “might be”, “is he” category. The Chicago angle piques my interest and curiosity. According to Barry, she spent the summer of 1959 there as an au pair, and it was then that she saw the movie “Black Dalia” - which apparently convinced the then 16-year old that white males would be a waste of her time and talents. She was a 16 yeal old girl in 1959. Who in hell took her - or allowed her - to see that film?! In Chicago! In the family history as told by Barry, Dunhams never lived in Chicago. So for whom was Stanley Ann being an au pair? Why did a 16-year old girl travel from Seattle, Washington to Chicago to babysit for the summer? WHO was she staying with/working for? Barry’s book said she’d been accepted to the University of Illinois/Chicago, but her father wouldn’t let her go there - too young to be in Chicago on her own.

Suppose Barry shifted the dates somewhat. Suppose for a minute that Stanley Ann was [an au pair] in Chicago not in 1959, but in 1960 - after graduating from high school. Suppose that instead of the scenario being that her father wouldn’t let her go to school there, the scenario was that she was indeed there to attend the U. of Illinois/Chicago. And suppose that there was some other black-themed enticement, besides the Black Dahlia film. And suppose that Stanley Ann got herself pregnant there in that toddlin’ town - by who? Her “employer”? What would happen? Daddy would haul her to Hawaii post-haste. And daddy might be fortunate enough to come across a [necessarily] black man who was having financial difficulties - and also had no conpunctions against having multiple wives, as long as the father of the white one was willing to make it worth his while monetarily - and no demands were made on his time and lifestyle. Her baby could have his name, but he couldn’t be “junior”. Not being his true son, he would have to be “II”.

Supposing.

One thing that would be helpful in figuring out who might have been the father: Barry is left-handed. It’s an inherited trait, though not necessarily from a parent. It could have shown previously in a grandparent, aunt or uncle, cousin, etc. He got it from SOMEBODY. On those passport docs of Stanley Ann’s there’s one that has the odd name under “children” - that Barack H. Obama, and Soebarkah [?]. On the form the name is crossed out with hatch-marks made in the direction/angle a left-handed person would use. The circumstances would then indicate Stanley Ann was left-handed. Of course, it’s also possible she let Barry make the marks!

The curiosity - and frustration - continues.

The full name of the Tanzanian husband of Ruth was:

Athanasius Ndesanjo Mphuru

He’s photographed and mentioned in this pdf:

http://archives.umc.org/uploads/documents/audo_au_community_%20Feb06.pdf

I did have a link to a webpage with an image and his full name, but that has been recently removed.

You sure that’s the same Ndesanjo Mphuru? I thought Ruth’s story was that Ndesanjo had died? Is she another liar and they divorced and he remarried to Prudence or another case of multi-wives? Where is the documentation on this fellow?

From your link - “Prof Athanasius Mphuru (dark suit, holding
microphone) participates in a memorial service for his late
wife, Mrs. Prudence Mphuru, in the Kwang Lim Chapel.
Mrs. Mphuru passed away, after a long battle with cancer, on
21 December 2005. She was laid to rest on 23 December in
her country of birth, Tanzania”

Two different men. Ruth’s husband was Simeon Ndesandjo.

We've known for quite some time the kind of man his father was.

Stalker, WHO are you speaking for..."We've known"???

No Stalker, we've not known and thanks to your spammer attempts to muddy the water here as a FINO aka SP, we probably will never know because of your constantly trying to sweep the real truth under the rug!!!
