A former Manoa resident sent President Barack Obama an old photo of the two of them taken while they were third-grade classmates at Noelani Elementary School, requesting an autograph more than six months ago. He recently received the autographed picture back, as well as a personally signed thank-you note.

The tallest kid in school, black, in a crowd of mostly tiny Japanese-ancestry kids would have stood out, and could easily have been remembered. And I do remember plenty of my 3rd-grade classmates, the quality of memory is not uniform.
also a digital watch.
It looks much like a 35mm frame.
Any decent 35mm of the period could easily have made this.
The other kid doesn’t look a bit Indonesian, he looks very Japanese. He could be Chinese, possibly, and there are plenty of Chinese in Indonesia, but I would bet against it.
Obama was supposedly in a Catholic school in Indonesia, so they could certainly have made Christmas pictures.
“He had even forgotten they attended kindergarten together until he saw a 1967 class photo in Hawaii Business magazine last year. “
KINDERGARTEN???? Kindergarten is for kids around 5 years old, not 8 years old. I think I missed something. Can anyone here help me???

McCain is not NBC otherwise there would have been legal challenges to his status and the Senate would not have pass resolution 511, declaring him to be such. 511 carries no weight of law or enforcement and is only a collective opinion of the Senate.
“Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth...

Additionally, sections 301–309 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (restated in sections 1401–1409 of Title 8 of the United States Code), current U.S. law defines numerous other categories of individuals born abroad, as well as people born in most U.S. territories and possessions, as being “nationals and citizens of the United States at birth”.[12] The phrase “natural born citizen,” however, does not appear in the current statutes dealing with citizenship at birth.
Moreover, Barry O. was born to one American Citizen, who under statutes at that time could not confer citizenship status.
His real age and birth location are in question as is his current citizenship status and even his proper and legal name.
I just noticed that kid has what looks like a birthmark between his brows. In one picture it appears to go well up his forehead. (1/2 down In white shirt and tie)
What we know as fact about obama could fill a 3x5 index card.
Scary.
Barry O. is as lefthanded as he is a lefty. The grip is correct.
Obama was born Aug. 4 1961, so would have been 5 for most of 1967.
Darn right. No one wants to claim him, they have to drag people out of the shadows and make up some silly story to pacify the masses.
“Ok, let’s say he spent part of a year in HI in the third grade in 1969. Why does this guy remember him? Photographic memory? Everyone that remembers someone in your 3rd grade class that attended for only part of the year raise your hand. “
Only black kid in an all Japanese school would trigger a memory quicker than most of us and our childhood.
It just gets curiouser and curiouser. Recently I was referrred to Snopes (always trustworthy, God knows!) about the doctor who supposedly delivered young Whateverhisnameis.
Snopes quotes Barbara Nelson, former teacher at the Punahou school who claims to have been friends with the daughter of the OB, a Dr. West, who delivered BHO. She claims to remember the (late) OB’s speaking of the child’s musical name, Barrack Heussein Obama, at the time of his birth. Said teacher then goes on to recount later thaat her 10 year old student’s father, Barrack Heussein Obama, returned to the school to speak that year. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp
I haven’t read either of BHO’s books, but I thought that not only was BHO in Indonesia till age 11, but that the story was that his father left him and his mother when he was two years old and that he didn’t see him again in his life except once, when he was a legal adult.
Too many people seem to want to have their ‘brush with history,’ while his true life story is to be concealed at all costs.
I would just have to ask: If you check out the photos at the link below and compare them to his alleged third grade photo, then what happened to his eyebrows in third grade? Seriously, there is a big difference.

Those are not pictures of Barack Hussien Obama. Just some kid named after him.
The photo in question was supposedly taken in third grade.
A gap like that can close when larger permanent molars (or even wisdom teeth) erupt. Teeth move easily.
Those are not Barack Obama.
I’m just as confused as you are. I don’t know if he meant they went to Kindergarten AND third grade or what.
“I haven’t read either of BHO’s books, but I thought that not only was BHO in Indonesia till age 11, but that the story was that his father left him and his mother when he was two years old and that he didn’t see him again in his life except once, when he was a legal adult.”
No, his father came back when Obama was 10 (the picture in the airport) but not to see his son, for a University Reunion and Ann Dunham tracked him down in the airport for a few minutes. Great father, eh?
