Teacher from Kenmore recalls Obama was a focused student
The Buffalo News ^ | 01/20/09 | Paula Voell

When Barack Hussein Obama places his hand on the Bible today to take the oath of office as 44th president of the United States, Barbara Nelson of Kenmore will undoubtedly think back to the day he was born. It was Aug. 4, 1961, at Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu.

“I may be the only person left who specifically remembers his birth. His parents are gone, his grandmother is gone, the obstetrician who delivered him is gone,” said Nelson, referring to Dr. Rodney T. West, who died in February at the age of 98. Here’s the story: Nelson was having dinner at the Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach with Dr. West, the father of her college friend, Jo-Anne. Making conversation, Nelson turned to Dr. West and said: “‘So, tell me something interesting that happened this week,’” she recalls.

His response: “Well, today, Stanley had a baby. Now that’s something to write home about.”

The new mother was Stanley (later referred to by her middle name of Ann) Dunham, and the baby was Barack Hussein Obama.

“I penned the name on a napkin, and I did write home about it,” said Nelson, knowing that her father, Stanley A. Czurles, director of the Art Education Department at Buffalo State College, would be interested in the “Stanley” connection.

She also remembers Dr. West mentioning that the baby’s father was the first black student at the University of Hawaii and how taken he was by the baby’s name.

“I remember Dr. West saying ‘Barack Hussein Obama, now that’s a musical name,’” said Nelson, who grew up in Kenmore and went to Hawaii in 1959 to be in Jo-Anne’s wedding party. When Nelson was offered a job as a newspaper reporter and photographer......

It is obvious that the good Doctor saw the star in the East, and came out of retirement, following the star, in order to deliver The One.

Hospitals in Hawaii to Obama: You Were Not Born Here!

A strange development indeed is how it is that every time Barack Obama or a family member tells of where Obama was born, they seem to have no idea as of December 2008.

They seemed to know what hospital quite a few times months ago when it was claimed that Obama’s mother gave birth to him at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu - Obama and Mom Never Here

After it was concluded that Obama and his mother were never there, his sister was in an interview (Mary) and claimed that Obama was born at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children - Obama and Mom Never Here 1319 Punahou StreetHonolulu,

Hospital after Hospital - all Have No Record of Obama being born or Mom Ever being There.

All of these were called or visited from November 20 - December 2nd 2008. It is confirmed, OBAMA was not born in any hospital in Honolulu County! NONE AS A FACT! The Queen’s Medical Center - Honolulu, Hawaii Obama claims as his birth hospital

Kapi’ olani Medical Center Obama’s sister claims Barack Obama born here

Honolulu Shriners Hospital Never a patient Mom or Obama

Straub Clinic & Hospital Never a patient Mom or Obama Hawaii Health Systems Corporation - Honolulu, Hawaii Never a patient Mom or Obama

Does anyone find the ...timing alone ...of this puff piece to be ... suspicious.

LOL. Just a tad.

But why do they do this stuff. It just roils the waters and makes things look even more suspicious.

all of a sudden this elderly woman comes out of the blue and announces she remembers out of how many people,children and babies. What a crock this is. The paper suddenly thought they should print this too.

Yes, it is so over the top.

At best she is speaking of hearsay second hand information.

At worst she is making it up. At least she named the place where he was supposedly born , there should be some sort of record there of the birth.

The rest of the story is just Puff. little substance and a lot of imagination.

Well not that we “know” who the attending physician was for His birth, all The Chosen One needs to do now is produce the original birth certificate with the good doctor’s signature affixed...
