I saw this film last week and was surprised to see an 11:00am showing half full, with an audience of all ages. The film ended to universal audience applause too. Very heartening.

Now in Boortz's critique, he outlines the following:

•#1While living in Indonesia Obama’s mother sent him to Hawaii to live with his grandparents because she was concerned that Obama would be influenced by his step-father, Lolo Sotero’s, increasingly pro-American and pro-Western views and associations.
•#2 It was Obama’s grandfather, from whom his mother apparently got her strident anti-American views, who introduced Obama to Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, with the intent that Davis was to become Obama’s mentor.
•#3 Obama’s private school in Hawaii, Punahou, was infused with an anti-colonialist fervor; an atmosphere of resentment toward the United States as having colonized Hawaii.

There's only one problem with that list. If number 1 is true, why would Stanley Ann send her son back to her father Hawaii knowing he would enroll Barry to attend a prestigious private school? Even with the degree of anti-colonialist ferver, it was an exclusive private environment. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Unless, she wasn't returning Barry to her father, per se.

Joel Gilberts "Dreams from my REAL father" suggests that Frank Marshall Davis may indeed be Barry's real father. His evidence includes writings by Davis which identify deviant sexual exploits with a virgin named Ann, as well as featuring several explicit photos of a young woman with a strong resemblance to Barry's mom.

We all know his mom was pregnant at a very young age, and it would have been dreadfully inconvenient for married Davis to be exposed for fathering a child with underage Ann.

Begs the question, did Davis have some sort of privileges, given his writings, with the local university? Was there any connection between Davis and Obama Sr. where Davis could pull for Sr. to continue at university in Hawaii? Or was Sr. simply duped by Stanley Ann when she found herself pregnant?

Perhaps Stanley Ann didn't simply abandon Barry with her father in Hawaii. Instead, she may have sent Barry home to his natural father, knowing Davis was capable of re-educating Barry, fully indoctrinating him with the degree of marxism she embraced - all under the watchful eye of Davis' good friend, grandpa Dunham.

Grandpa's role would have kept the rumor mill about Barry's parentage close to the vest, so close, even Davis' family was left in the dark despite Barry's constant presence with Davis.
