Contributing to the impression of shifting sands in his official biography, two newspaper articles from 1990 – apparently based on interviews with Barack Obama – reported that the future president left Hawaii for Indonesia when he was 2 years old, not 6 years old, as he relates in his autobiography.
On May 3, 1990, the Associated Press widely published a feature story on Obama highlighting him as the first African-American named as president of the Harvard Law review.
"Obama moved to Southeast Asia at age 2 when his parents divorced and his mother married an Indonesian," the Associated Press reported. "Until the fifth grade, Obama attended Indonesian schools, where most of his friends were the sons of servants, street peddlers and farmers."
The Associated Press article was widely published throughout the United States in newspapers that typically picked up and reprinted AP stories.
Here is the screen capture of the AP report as published by the Chicago Daily Herald on May 3, 1990:

Beckwith warned me a long time ago about trying to follow dates.

You wrote, “P.S. The third grade is from Punahou School and the Kindergarten is from Noelani Elementary public school.
Not sure why both went to two separate schools.”
Uh, are you sure about that? The news story says, “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.”
You personally know Scott? Can you ask him if the news story is false? I’ve never read that he contradicted the story that he attended Noelani for third grade. If he attended Punahou at any time, then why didn’t he graduate from high school there? You do know where he graduated high school, don’t you? btw, he’s a self-described “Obama-crat”.
I have seen more totally wacky photo analyses of photos of Barry than of anything else. And this is yet another one, if for no other reason than it posits someone expert enough to have made a composite but who leaves—supposedly—glaring, easily spotted errors.
“Obama-crat”... yeah, so you’ve been scoping out his Facebook?
But some of the errors you can see without having any qualification other than a pair of eyes. There really isn’t a second shoulder on little Scott. The highlights in the eyes really don’t line up.
I do see your point, though. It’s almost like the people who did these photo “forgeries” were thumbing their nose at those of us not enthralled by the One. It’s as if they were sending a message - we can pull this off because there’s no established forensic field of expertise for evaluation of digital images - and we want you to become very frustrated knowing they are faked while at the same time not being able to absolutely prove it.
Indeed I have been “scoping out” Scott’s Facebook page. I like to deal in FACTS. If Scott doesn’t care to have people “scope out” his FB page, then he ought to make it private. Did you notice that he didn’t go to Punahou? Can you explain why the news story says the photo you claim is from Punahou is from, in fact, Noelani? Or is this a sloppy journalist, also? Perhaps one who doesn’t speak English?
“He’s a devout Christian and conservative, it’s more of a “Hey! I was elementary school buddies with the President” than any admiration for Obama himself.” So spake autumnraine to Fred Nerks, of Scott Inoue.
And yet, his Facebook page refers to himself as an Obama-crat. How is this possible?
Here it is with the "arm" extended.
Excellent question. Keep in mind that Riady - though an Indonesian - was ethnically Chinese. There were many other Chinese connections back during the Clinton - Gore mess that appear ready to bite us in the end.
Grandpa is practically falling off the end of the bench. Look at all the seating space to their left. Upon studying the picture, it does indeed look photoshopped. Why not pose in the center of the bench?
Brilliant use of higher math. :)
Then focus on the most obvious manipulation. The smaller boy’s bangs. You think that’s natural, do you? No enlargement is necessary to answer that question.
Another thing that’s patently obvious is the position of the hand and arm around Scott. Try to get your hand in that position and check the pitch of your shoulder when you do so.
If the little asian boy on the left of the 'Indonesia' image is the same little asian boy as the one in the front row, left...of the kingergarten image in Hawaii...something is seriously wrong. But that might explain why the little asian boy has had his hair 'adjusted' - that 'fringe' is definitely painted on.
