Time doesn't say who found the divorce records or give any details, but where is the marriage license record?

Not found, nada, zip, zilch.

And on a second note Anne Dunham was pregnant with Obama at 17.

Just wait until it hits the news about Obama using crack cocaine, buying cocaine for a gay man, and having relationships with gay men when he was State Senator of Illinois in 1999!

Do you have reliable sources for this? If so, please share them. If not, please tell me how this differs from the attacks on Sarah Palin?

Post of the day! Thank you for making me laugh.

Personally I don’t care whether or not his parents were married. That is something he has no control over. What I DO care about is all the things that are under his control, where he himself has made poor decisions: drugs, associates, religion,....

Difference between Dem and Rep. Republicans make mistakes, then apologize for them, learn from them, try to make amends. Democrats make mistakes, then blame someone else, try to get it legalized, deny that it ever happened.

Apparently she was "punished" by bearing Barry to full term.

I wonder if that's what she told him before she dumped him off with her parents.

Or did he propose to her in the traditional, formal way?"

Which in Kenya involves what I wonder?

Delivery of a small herd of goats?

Her first name really was Stanley... her father wanted a boy.

And on a third note, where the trail of the record shows evidence of forgery, Time is silent on the Birth Certificate issue. No double standard here, nothing to see folks...

It was. Her father, apparently disappointed by not having a boy, actually named her Stanley! (after himself) 'Stanley Ann Dunham'. Yet more evidence that the far left is insane. I reduced it to Ann Dunham here because I figured it would confuse the hades out of some people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Dunham

Stanley Ann Dunham's high school days...

"At Mercer High School, two teachers -- Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman -- generated regular parental thunderstorms by teaching their students to challenge societal norms and question all manner of authority. Foubert, who died recently, taught English. His texts were cutting edge: "Atlas Shrugged," "The Organization Man," "The Hidden Persuaders," "1984" and the acerbic writings of H.L. Mencken.

Wichterman taught philosophy. The hallway between the two classes was known as "anarchy alley," and students pondered the challenging notions of Wichterman's teachings, including such philosophers as Sartre and Kierkegaard. He also touched the societal third rail of the 1950s: He questioned the existence of God. And he didn't stop there.

"I had them read 'The Communist Manifesto,' and the parents went nuts," said Wichterman, adding that parents also didn't want any discussions about "anything to do with sex," religion and theology. The parental protests were known as "mothers' marches."

"The kids started questioning things that their folks thought shouldn't be questioned -- religion, politics, parental authority," said John Hunt, a classmate. "And a lot of parents didn't like that, and they tried to get them [Wichterman and Foubert] fired."

The Dunhams did not join the uproar. Madelyn and Stanley shed their Methodist and Baptist upbringing and began attending Sunday services at the East Shore Unitarian Church in nearby Bellevue.

"In the 1950s, this was sometimes known as 'the little Red church on the hill,' " said Peter Luton, the church's senior minister, referring to the effects of McCarthyism. Skepticism, the kind that Stanley embraced and passed on to his daughter, was welcomed here.

For Stanley Ann, the teachings of Foubert and Wichterman provided an intellectual stimulant and an affirmation that there indeed was an interesting life beyond high school dances, football games and all-night slumber party chatter.

Their high school class was an in-between generation. The Beat generation had passed, and the 1960s era of protest was yet to begin. Classmates of Dunham -- Wall, Blake, Hunt -- felt they were on the cusp of societal change, the distant early warning of the '60s struggles over civil rights, women's rights and war.

"If you were concerned about something going wrong in the world, Stanley would know about it first," said Chip Wall, who described her as "a fellow traveler... We were liberals before we knew what liberals were."

Obama's parents got married in Maui, according to divorce records.

Since Mr. Obama, Sr. was already married in Kenya (and not divorced), the "marriage" in Hawaii was fraudulent and invalid. Therefore, Senator Obama's parents were NEVER legally married. They should not have been divorced - that implies a legal marriage; the marriage should have been annulled. That's why Senator Obama should be called "Obastard".

Exactly! These are the kinds of stories that liberals and leftists use as an excuse to minimize or dismiss the legitimate damaging stories. In fact, they are the ones who often send them out in the first place. They rightly know that most people don't follow these things very carefully.

In a recent interview, Obama called his mother 'the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics.'

The fact is that his mother was a young, white rebel traveling the world to seek sexual encounters with non-white natives of other countries. Her values taught him how to go about the world of politics, e.g. Chicago-style thuggery, anti-American attitude, sexist, racist and communistic beliefs, a track record of symbolism over substance, and accomplishing nothing except the art of being a charlatan.

I am sure the Rats will find a picture of them jumping a broom somewhere!
