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:

Are the ages supposed to be very similar in these photos?
The larger teeth on the R could be permanent teeth coming in; but the shape of the smile is completely different, hairline appears to be very different, upper lip on R is much thinner than upper lip on L. Ear on R appears to have more of a sticking out lobe. Eyebrows on L appear to slant outward/downward more than on R.
Here's a pic of when the front teeth fell out. The middle two should be switched as the one on the right is younger by two years from the one on the right (sorry, just pasted it in from your post). The last one is the oldest.
Seems to me the same kid as he has grown into his buck teeth in the next to the oldest picture.
He was thinner in the youngest picture and gained weight as he grew older.
I’m reminded of the story that was told about meeting a relative when he was visiting family in Kenya. The older relative thought he was a boy named Mark (? IIRC). Then his aunt, or grandmother mentioned that this was Barack/Barry, and that Mark had been killed in a car accident or something? I’m going off pure memory on this, so bear with me if I’ve remembered wrong. That COULD explain the whole “twin” theory.
Hard to answer when we don't know for certain when the photographs were taken. The one on the left is supposedly from Indonesia, taken when Maya was a baby. She was born in 1970 or 1971, (she has two birth years, depending on what article you read) the other, on the right, was supplied by Scott Inuoe, who claims the image is from 1969 in Hawaii.
I got it! They must be twins born two years apart...LOL!
Does that suggest the child with the perfect teeth is the older of the two? I don't know, this has given me a huge headache!
I can't even tell which one has been photoshopped, can you?
That pic of Lolo, Ann, Maya, and Hussein - I could have sworn there was another pic floating around the internet from that same seating but I can’t find it. It was them in the same positions but was as if someone had taken a second shot a few seconds later (or earlier). IIRC, Hussein’s head/shoulders were higher and hiding more of the back of the seat and closer to Ann and the baby’s left foot had moved. The reason I was looking for it was that Hussein’s smile was from a slightly different angle.
EXCERPT:
...I remember how, a few days after my visit to Sarah’s, Auma and I happened to run into an acquaintance of the Old Man’s outside Barclay’s Bank. I could tell that Auma didn’t remember his name, so I held out my hand and introduced myself. The man smiled and said, “My, my-you have grown so tall. How’s your mother? And your brother Mark-has he graduated from university yet?” At first I was confused. Did I know this person? And then Auma explained in a low voice that no, I was a different brother, Barack, who grew up in America, the child of a different mother. David had passed away. And then the awkwardness on all sides-the man nodding his head (“I’m sorry, I didn’t know”) but taking another look at me, as if to make sure what he’d heard was true; Auma trying to appear as if the situation, while sad, was somehow the normal stuff of tragedy; me standing to the side, wondering how to feel after having been mistaken for a ghost.
I knew you’d remember the story! Thanks for re-posting it. :) Awfully interesting, IMHO. And, IMHO, it looks like two different kids in those photos.
Ah ha! That’s the other picture! Knew you probably had it. You’re saying one was photoshopped? It looks like two different poses of Hussein and his shirt is wrinkled differently.
Pingin’ for later.
I was being perverse...he must have grown suddenly, or they sat him on a stack of cushions; how did he get so much taller?
His image has been superimposed - to make it look as if he’s sitting next to his ‘mother’
Yes, I understand he’s “taller” in that other one but just thought he was sitting on his knees. However, he has a different pose than in both - different head angle, different smile, different shirt wrinkles, and Ann’s eyebrow is higher. That’s a lot of manipulation for what purpose?
In the “shorter” one, his knees have marks on them. Could be from normal kid stuff or from kneeling on that bench from the other pose. Why? Who knows.
The necklace is hanging from the collar differently. That’s two separate poses.
This is so insane.
The lawyer was Sarah Herlihy. The law firm was Kirkland and Ellis. The article in the Chicago Kent Law Review in 2006 was “AMENDING THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT: GLOBALIZATION AS THE IMPETUS AND THE OBSTACLE”
Mitchell Langbert has a blog in Dec 2008 revealing that Kendall Partner Bruce Ettelson was on the finance committees of both Obama and Dicky Durban, Obama presented awards to Kirkland Partner Jack Levin, and Kirkland partner Christopher Landau was on the McCain Justice Advisory Committee, defending McCain given his consitutional ineligbility. Sarah Herlihy was a new junior partner and worked for Landau. It appears that the planning to have McCain's ineligibility shield Obama’s, making a challenge of Obama tantamount to a challenge of McCain, since his ineligibility was no secret to the left or to the legal establishment, was well underway in 2005 when the Herlihy paper was written.
The Herlihy paper was scrubbed from Kirkland & Ellis, where I found it, and from the Kent Law Review archives, but was recently available at Scribd.com (they are a fearless and valuable resource, unlike google, which supports free speech only when their managers agree with the issue).
Herlihy’s paper is a hodgepodge which is only concerned with jus soli eligibility, probably because that is where McCain's problems was - neither Coco Bolo or Colon were sovereign U.S. territory. She is careful, like Larry Tribe and virtually all the progressives who wrote review articles and essays, perhaps inspired by heading off McCain until they had a use for him, to avoid John Marshall, John Jay, Morrison Waite, Vattel, Washington, Hamilton, Wilson, Story, and the other framers and founders, along with 14th Amendment John Binghim, he confirmed the U.S. Common Law, born on the soil of citizen parents, written by Vattel and cited a dozen or more times.
Her thesis is essentially that jus soli, born on our soil, prevents such patriots as Henry Kissinger, Madeline Albright, and Brzezinski. She claims that denying the foreign born is probably based upon unadmitted racist tendencies. We need to open of the presidency as the U.S. become more a player in the globalist world.
Aha! I remember it all now...
Thanks for posting this (again).
Pinging LucyT just in case.
I can tell one thing for sure. The child on the left with the fuller face is a flip flop. It’s a construction using one side of a face (symmetrical), twice. In so doing, the creator ended up with a fuller face, smeared out the dividing line on the bridge of the nose noticeably and there is a boo boo on the right side of the neck - a notch where things didn’t line up very well.
Go ahead, save the image and open it in any image program. Use the selection tool (rectangle works) and surround the left side of the face with the ride side of the rectangle going smack down the center of the nose. Copy it and paste it back on the image, then mirror it. You’ll see that the two eyes are the same, the two sides of the mouth are the same, etc.
The fact is, when you have a fake image (and I haven’t looked the other one yet) like this, there is nothing of value it can tell you except that the image is fake and possibly that someone needed to create it because a real one didn’t exist. That’s all. Comparing the two images is therefore a waste of time.
Attaboy, Spaulding.

Which is of course the Chicago Kent Law Review site - so why does Spaulding claim it was scrubbed?
David Opiyo Obama. Opiyo means, in Luo, firstborn of twins.
