Obama's Mama

[xoxoxoBruce]

I received this email and wonder if it came from the Clinton or McCain camp?

Stanley Ann Dunham
Barack's Momma

Stanley Ann Dunham Obana Soetoro (November 29, 1942 - November 7, 1995), known as Ann Dunham and Stanley Ann Dunham, was an American anthropologist, left-wing social activist, and the mother of Senator Barack Obama. She was born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to Stanley and Madelyn Dunham. Her father was a furniture salesman in downtown Seattle, Washington, and her mother worked for a bank. After a year living in Seattle, her family moved to Mercer Island, Washington, in 1956 so that 13-year old Ann could attend the Mercer Island High School that had just opened. At the school she was on the debate team and graduated in 1960.

Her family moved to Hawaii and Ann attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she studied anthropology. When Ann Dunham arrived in Hawaii, she was a full fledged radical leftist and practitioner of critical theory. She also began to engage in miscegenation (inter-racial relationships) as part of her attack on society. Susan Blake, one of her friends has stated she never dated "the crew-cut white boys", She had a world view, even as a young girl. It was embracing the different, rather than that ethnocentric thing of shunning the different. That was where her mind took her. In Hawaii she met Barack Obama, Sr. from Kenya in her Russian language class. Barack Obama, Jr. was bor n August 4, 1961.

Barack Obama, Sr. left Ann and their son in 1963 to attend Harvard in Boston. Press reports claim Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. were divorced around this time; however, no evidence has yet been presented to show they were ever married. The senior Obama obtained a masters degree in economics at Harvard and returned to Kenya in 1965 where he obtained a position in the Kenyan government. He was killed in an automobile accident in 1982.

Two years later, when her son was five, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil manager and practicing Muslim whom she meet at the university. In 1967 they moved to Jakarta, Indonesia. While in Indonesia Ann got a job at the American embassy teaching English. Barack's half-sister, Maya Soetoro was born in Indonesia. Ann, Obama and his sister Maya moved back to Hawaii. Ann Dunham soon returned to Indonesia with Maya but divorced Soetoro in the late 1970s.

Dunham traveled around the world, pursuing a career in rural development that took her to Ghana, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal and Bangladesh. In 1986 Ann Dunham worked on a developmental project in Pakistan. Later that year Ann and her daughter traveled the Silk Road in China. In 1992 she earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Hawaii. Her dissertation, "Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: Surviving and Thriving Against All Odds," was 1067 pages long. She worked for the Ford Foundation and promoted Microlending.

During Obama's campaign for the 2008 presidential election he portrayed his mother as a conservative girl from Kansas; however in reality she was a radical leftist and cutural Marxist. She lived in the Seattle area; spending her teenage years in Seattle coffee shops with other young radical leftist. Obama claims his mother's family were conserevative Methodists or Baptists from Kansas. However his mother's parents were members of a left-wing Unitarian church near Seattle. The church located in Bell evue, Washington was knicknamed "the little red church," because of it's communist leanings.

The school Ann attended, Mercer Island High School, was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and this school has a number of Marxists on it's staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which included; rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert's and Wichterman classrooms was sometimes called "anarchy ally." Dunham has been described by her friends as "a fellow traveler..." meaning a communist sympathizer.

In an interview, Barack Obama referred to his mother as "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics." Before she died Ann Dunham wanted to adopt a mixed-race Korean baby father by a Black American stationed in South Korea. Ann Dunham died in Hawaii in 1995 of ovarian cancer and uterine cancer.

This is Clinton's camp. The McCain camp isn't going to allow anything to come out from them yet. It is more beneficial to watch the D candidates smear each other while pretending not to notice.

Right from Karl Rove's playbook - best propaganda is promoted first. Many people only believe what is told first. Important to be outputting 'third party' propaganda now so that Urbane Guerrilla types will repost it later.

Rush Limbaugh is another example of this. Important is to have Rush tell everyone how to think so that myths will take seed.

Microlending? The Ford Foundation? Sounds like a commie to me.

This is why UG and I both drink tea.

They must not be able to find anything wrong with this guy, if the two biggest hits against him are that he is a church-going mama's boy.

Next they'll be trying to find dirt on his neighbors, and saying "do you want a president who lived next-door to this kind of person?!"

I like how the fact that she wanted to adopt a child is somehow a negative.

Well you can't say it has not been interesting. I am not sure that the gnashiing of teeth and semi-self destruction of the Dems is not over. One report I read stated that some 30% of Hitlery supporters would not vote for Obama and some 30% of Obama supporters would not vote for Hitlery. So the question begs is some 30% of the Dems 1) not going to vote, or 2) vote for McCain, or more unlikely, 3)vote for some non-descript third party that really does not have a hells chance in getting elected? Either way it should be interesting.

Who she was isn't a story. The difference between who she was and who he portrayed her to be IS a story. If it's true, it's politically significant.

Why should we suddenly start expecting veracity from a politician? I was happy in dreamland until this.
