On Feb. 2, 1961, several months after they met, Obama's parents got married in Maui, according to divorce records. It was a Thursday. At that point, Ann was three months pregnant with Barack Obama II. Friends did not learn of the wedding until afterward. "Nobody was invited," says Abercrombie. The motivations behind the marriage remain a mystery, even to Obama. "I never probed my mother about the details. Did they decide to get married because she was already pregnant? Or did he propose to her in the traditional, formal way?" Obama wonders. "I suppose, had she not passed away, I would have asked more." (from page 3 of the article)

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!

But not to worry, it will mean NOTHING to his supporters!

Does anyone know the story of Obama’s mother learning Russian in Kenya?

[Beckwith]

"I suppose, had she not passed away, I would have asked more."

Let's see? Obama was born August 4, 1961. Anna died on November 7, 1995. That's 34 years. He mustn't have been too curious.

They most likely never married. There is NO record of their marriage — as I read in multiple places, and as you pointed out, even Obama claims to not be certain “about the details”.

Not to mention the “minor” detail, that Obama’s Father was already married, when he dated Obama’s Mother.

Obama is in no position to throw stones.

Barry needs to tread lightly on Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter - she may be carrying a future Presidential candidate!

Barack Obama's mother, Ann Dunham

"[Ann] Dunham moved to Hawaii to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she studied anthropology. There she met Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a graduate student from Kenya and the school's first African student, in a Russian class.[2]"

From the Chicago Tribune, March 27, 2007:
"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.' "

Article: Obama's women reveal his secret

Excerpt from page 1...

"Naivete" is a euphemism for Ann Dunham's motivation. Friends describe her as a "fellow traveler", that is, a communist sympathizer, from her youth, according to a March 27, 2007, Chicago Tribune report. Many Americans harbor leftist views, but not many marry into them, twice. Ann Dunham met and married the Kenyan economics student Barack Obama, Sr, at the University of Hawaii in 1960, and in 1967 married the Indonesian student Lolo Soetero. It is unclear why Soetero's student visa was revoked in 1967 - the fact but not the cause are noted in press accounts. But it is probable that the change in government in Indonesia in 1967, in which the leftist leader Sukarno was deposed, was the motivation. ..."

From page 2 of 2...

Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

If Obama is as shrewd a political operative as they brag he is...surely he can see the damage being done by the lefties by their sexism!

Barry needs to "man up" and tell the story of his own pregnant unwed mother.

Otherwise, we'll have to do it for him:-)

[bigships]

This will be a perfect counter attack to what we know the Dems will come out with hearing of Palin’s daughters pregnancy.

If Obama’s mother had aborted and not married the father than we wouldn't have the Messiah!

[Veggie Todd]

That’s not the Mother I knew....

[Red Steel]

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.

[BenLurkin]

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.

[BenLurkin]

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?

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".
