The photograph showed the son, but my eye gravitated toward the mother. That first glimpse was surprising — the stout, pale-skinned woman in sturdy sandals, standing squarely a half-step ahead of the lithe, darker-skinned figure to her left. His elastic-band body bespoke discipline, even asceticism. Her form was well padded, territory ceded long ago to the pleasures of appetite and the forces of anatomical destiny. He had the studied casualness of a catalog model, in khakis, at home in the viewfinder. She met the camera head-on, dressed in hand-loomed textile dyed indigo, a silver earring half-hidden in the cascading curtain of her dark hair. She carried her chin a few degrees higher than most. His right hand rested on her shoulder, lightly. The photograph, taken on a Manhattan rooftop in August 1987 and e-mailed to me 20 years later, was a revelation and a puzzle. The man was Barack Obama at 26, the community organizer from Chicago on a visit to New York. The woman was Stanley Ann Dunham, his mother. It was impossible not to be struck by the similarities, and the dissimilarities, between them. It was impossible not to question the stereotype to which she had been expediently reduced: the white woman from Kansas.

Exactly!
That kid in the beach photo looks like he’s about to take Bambi out. Lol.
AW GEEZ! Here we go with another Left-Wing coordinated diversionery campaign of “in your face” gooey, gushing, adulation of their false Messiah in effort to bludgeon a perceived right-wing villainous assault on his integrity.
Watch the sleight of hand scene going on behind the focus in the forefront if it’s not too blurred.
Thanks, but the original crafter of a very similar post was freeper T.L.Sink.
I usually give that freeper credit in my tagline for the above summation but forgot this time.
Sounds like schools in America today.

Reporting about Lewinsky scandal still grist for debate
Fort Worth Star-Telegram - Saturday, December 26, 1998
Author: Janny Scott , New York Times
In the first frenzied weeks after the name Monica Lewinsky lurched into the news in January, it was clear that the news media had entered uncharted waters - a rip current where competition between old and new media was rewriting the rules of gathering and reporting news.
There were Matt Drudge, who first posted the story, pilfered from Newsweek, on his Internet tip sheet; the talk shows that gave it legs; the 24-hour cable TV news networks that rode it up the ratings; and the handful of respected newspapers that publicly stumbled in the scramble to keep up.
Looking back on the past 11 months, many people inside and outside journalism described the episode as a laboratory experiment for the postmodern media age - the moment when the diverse forces of the instant communication era converged for the first time on a major political scandal.
How members of the news media have performed - and how the public fared - is a subject of stark disagreement. After months of criticism, many working journalists now express a sense of near-vindication. Most of what was reported, they said in recent interviews, has turned out to be true.
Others, however, described the past 11 months as “a very dark chapter in the history of the American press,” as Geneva Overholser, a former ombudsman for The Washington Post, put it. After such shameful excesses, some said, it is an inadequate defense to point out that the stories were not wrong after all.
“There is this other task,” said Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University. “The news media have to help us have the best conversation we can about what became a constitutional crisis. Looked at that way, the performance of our journalists can be seen as a kind of national tragedy.
“It was a tragedy because the media cooperated in the expansion of this story to a sort of partisan, divisive and directionless game,” Rosen said. “It also produced a level of public exhaustion that is now a serious defect. We don’t need the American public to be exhausted by impeachment at this hour.”

The story may mark the moment at which the notion of a serious so-called disconnect between the public and the press became conventional wisdom. The press presumed to understand what was important, and what was not, in a way that many Americans came to resent.
Dolby 7.1 digital surround sound, FEEL the thunder!
If you look at the alleged Barry baby photo...he is a spittin’ image of Frank Davis. No DNA test required. Maybe a kind FRiend can post those two pictures together.
She was ugly too.

Obama’s mommy speaking about Americans:
“They are not my people.”
Not her son’s either, it seems...
“the NY Times taking several hundred words to say that his mom was a fat slob...”
Look at the early pix. She was NOT a ‘fat slob’! She has a jaw line like Jay Leno.

LOL, like early pics are representative of teh entire person throughout their life.
Kirstie Ally was hot... in the early pics.
So true.
That’s what I was going to say! What if that kid had actually thrown that razor-edged boomerang....
Notice that there are never babypictures of little Barack with his dad when the family was supposed to be together before Barack Sr. left for Harvard. This is really odd.
No problem, LH, at least you’re honest.
