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 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?
From my memory of prior FReeper posts, Dr. West was retired five years before Barry was born, but worked in HI vital records and might have seen the original birth report...say of a home birth, and Snopes is run by two activist lefties out of their basement.
