Probably the most pathetic thing I’ve seen is an Obot/true-believer trying to explain why SA would have given birth in HI and then rushed off to Seattle. David Maraniss had a go at it, though not even he was game enough to tackle how she actually *got* there. Even Obots have their limits.
Anyway, Maraniss conjectured that SA fled to Seattle to escape domestic violence. No, really; he did.
Think about it. Maraniss confirmed that Obama Sr and SA never lived a day together. He documented O Sr’s residence [at the time of the supposed marriage] where the Kenyan lived *alone.* Maraniss also admitted that while SA lived with her parents during her first semester in HI, he had no idea where she lived during her pregnancy (other than to rule out with O Sr or with her parents).
So Maraniss posited the following scenario: O Sr would periodically leave his bachelor quarters, and instead of going to the university would visit SA’s secret location instead. There he would beat her up. Afterward, he’d get on with living the single life and being a student.
Now bear in mind there is no evidence to back these events. It’s all in Maraniss’ imagination.
But anyway, according to that flight of fancy, SA’s only recourse was to spend a fortune fleeing to the cold and friendless city of Seattle. That was her only
‘out.’
It’s an absurd, fact-and-evidence-free theory. But it’s the best an Obot can do. A more plausible explanation doesn’t exist. When attempting to explain something that never happened, absurdity is pretty much the only option.
Wow. Maraniss is more idiotic than I thought.
