As Maraniss concedes, these two young people shared very close to nothing. “In the college life of Barack Obama in 1961 and 1962,” writes Maraniss, “as recounted by his friends and acquaintances in Honolulu, there was no Ann; there was no baby.”
Although Maraniss talked to many of Obama Sr.’s friends, none of the credible ones ever so much as saw him with Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham.
One Obama friend, a Cambodian named Kiri Tith, knew the senior Obama “very well.” He had also met Ann through a different channel. “But he had no idea,” writes Maraniss, “that Ann knew Obama, let alone got hapai (pregnant) by him, married him, and had a son with him.”
In other words, Obama’s spun fairytales on his Kenyan family were as bogus as the faux Greek columns from which he first strode onto the world stage at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
As a president, Obama makes a perfect knockoff.
Designed down to the last politically correct detail, for making it well past his best-before date, he just had to be half black, half white, metrosexual, the Underdog of Underdogs; an illusion that could never be nailed down and exposed.
