Stanley Ann Dunham, better known as President Barack Obama's mother, passed away in 1995 before seeing her son become the most powerful man in the world.
In this weekend's New York Times Magazine, Dunham gets a long profile adapted from Janny Scott's forthcoming book, A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother.
The article paints a portrait of a complex woman who traveled to Indonesia with her second husband, battled the customs while raising her son and new daughter, and eventually returned to Hawaii. As Scott writes, "To describe Dunham as a white woman from Kansas turns out to be about as illuminating as describing her son as a politician who likes golf."
The President described his mother as "single constant in my life."

The saintly mother roundheels.
Can beatification be far off?
It is funny the article fails to mention Frank Marshall Davis and Obama calling him pops.
As well as the article states Stanley probably gave birth to Obama’s sister without a stethescope? So therefore she squatted in the sugar cane field/african hut? and got on a plane?
The author of this book spoke to, had access to Obongo and his sister Maya. As such this book is just in time to be propaganda for Obama in 2012..
More feel good crap about his wonderful hippie mother but nothing about his lies on birth certificates for example. Obama is up to a lie a day these days so he lied his arse off for this book.
I should have just believed everyone who said she was a minor... I thought she wasn’t. Days between her 18th birthday and his birthday: 248 days.
From and including: Tuesday, November 29, 1960 (day she turned 18)
To, but not including : Friday, August 4, 1961
It is 248 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date
Or 8 months, 6 days excluding the end date
Whoops- she was an adult when he was BORN, which seems to matter with citizenship (at least in the past).
“Snopes says the nude photos are false so they must be real.”
They claim it is actually a woman named “Marcy Moore”, and there is a photo of Marcy, and her ta-tas are HUGE, compared with those in the alleged Dunham photos...there were no breast implants as far as I know back then, at least not being generally available. Will ping Lazamataz for his evaluation...;)
Since we know Stanley was not category #1, we have to assume she was category #2.
This opens a who new can of questions. Typically, local hires are, well, local people. The U.S. Government makes a conscience effort not to hire local Americans, not only because they are more expensive than the local (non-American) people but because of potential conflicts with career American staff who are paid at a far higher (GS) rate of wages and benefits despite doing similar jobs.
The category #2 assignments are also seen as carrots to recruit the best people in the local community and make friends and contacts with locals who may be useful.
Exceptions, of course, are made for family members, spouses or even acquaintances with strong political connections in the Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame mold.
This general policy is so firm that the U.S. Government will even hire reliable nationals from third countries before they will take local American staff. One extreme example is the U.S. Embassy and Consular staff in Saudi Arabia. There are lots of Philippine nationals, who tend to be very good in English and work demands but are also low security risks and widely available. OTOH, there are very few, if any, local Americans in Category #2 jobs, either those married to Saudi nationals or those from American business executives stationed in Saudi Arabia. Recall that Julia Child became a French cooking expert (even though she was trained and met her husband doing intelligence work during World War II) precisely because opportunities to work with her husband in the U.S. Embassy in Paris were not available due to this policy.
So the question begs answering how exactly did Stanley Dunham get a job in the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta with zero relevant experience when Julia Child (or other local U.S. nationals) could not do the same with ample relevant experience?
A combination of Einstein, Gandhi and Belafonte?
Belafonte maybe but he’s not exactly a peaceful guy and for sure no genius. Puhleeze.
Pretty sure he was (born in Nebraska). Note his formidible public speaking ability. Sound familiar?
The full view photos are easy to find. I think they are a match.
Also notice the similar mannerisms, oratorical abilities, eyes, height, and that flashing (insincere) smile, and of course the overwhelming arrogance.
“She was covering up the embarrassing story of her Dad’s hooker giving birth to her half brother Barack.”
Well, in that case, at least he’s a citizen.
I believe there is only a one inch difference in their height. Their leering eyes and smirking smiles are particularly intriguing as well. Malcolm also had six daughters, so not sure what you mean by woman problems.
If it doesn't fit his political message (is there any other kind for him?), he will even call his mother's friends liars. This guy is a freaking' martian man!
martian man, martian man, does whatever a martian can......
Hmmmm! Its worth a note that Obama HUSSEIN and Michelle chose two Russian name for their girls! Very Strange! if One doesn’t consider that the Parents rever Communisn and that HUSSEIN’s closest Advisor, Valerie Jarrett’s father in law was President of the American Communist Party for years and that Valerie declared that Chairman Mao is her Favorite Philosopher!!!!!!!!!!! THATS OUTRAGEOUS!!!
