Although still married to Kezia
in 1961, Senior may or may not have married fellow student Anna Dunham.
If so,
Senior was now legally a bigamist. Over his lifetime and through
several wives, Senior eventually returns to Kezia.
The legend is that on February 2, 1961, against Madelyn's
hopes, and against the desires of Obama's father back in Kenya, Ann,
three months pregnant, and
Obama hopped a plane to Maui and got
married. The wedding had
no
witnesses, not even her parents, and no record of the event has yet
been found.
Obama, himself, hints that his father and mother’s wedding
may not have been
properly documented. "How and when the marriage
occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never
quite had the courage to explore. There's no record of a real
wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in
attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were
informed." Obama writes in his memoir.
The lack of any documentary
evidence,
when such evidence for legal marriages that took place in Hawaii during
1961 is readily available today to any inquiring family member, strongly
suggests that Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Senior were not ever
legally married and that Senior, a married man of 25, almost certainly impregnated
the 17-year-old Dunham, since nine months before Obama’s birth would be
early November 1960, about three to four weeks before Ann Dunham’s 18th
birthday on November 29, 1960.
And this,
Michelle Obama
says
that Senior and Anna were never married. She described Anna as "very
young and very single when she had him (Obama)." (2nd
source)
And this -- There is no evidence whatsoever that Senior and Anna ever
lived together anywhere, any time. The living arrangements
between the announcement of the wedding and the birth of the child were
uncertain.
Most likely,
Senior remained in his dorm room while Ann lived with her parents. Letters written by
acquaintances of Senior during the period 1960-1961 with accompanying
photographs do not mention or show Anna at all.
Congress critter, Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, Obama's "life beard," said
that "nobody" was invited to the
wedding ceremony.
According to "Dreams...,"
Senior eventually
told Anna about a former marriage in Kenya but said he was divorced,
which she would discover years later was a lie -- but "Dreams..." is a
notoriously unreliable account of events.
The only thing for sure is that NOBODY knows what happened between
the summer of 1960 and the birth of Barack on August 4, 1961.
DoH Confirms Nuptual Record
Donofrio's associate, KingsKid, sent an email,
"Request for Information," letter on September 25, 2009 11:03 AM to
Janice Okubo. On Thursday, October 01, 2009 12:47 PM, Janice Okubo
responded to KingsKid with an email. Attached to the email were
the following Index Data:
BIRTH INDEX -- OFFICE OF HEALTH STATUS MONITORING CHILD -- OBAMA II, BARACK HUSSEIN GENDER -- M
MARRIAGE INDEX -- OFFICE OF
HEALTH STATUS MONITORING
GROOM -- OBAMA, BARACK HUSSEIN BRIDE -- DUNHAN, STANLEY ANN
It isn’t clear whether the Index
Data provided by Okubo to KingsKid include all of the Index Data
available via 338-18(d), -- the marriage Index Data for Stanley Ann and
Senior wasn't requested -- that was a freebie.
The key
phrase in Ms. Okubo's response to KingsKid is "Index Data." I
don't see any description of what the Index Data, housed at the
Department of Health, Health Status Monitoring, 1250 Punchbowl Street,
Honolulu, HI, are.
There is some confusion caused by cross-referencing
terminology from two different Index Data sets-- Groom and Bride are
attributes of a marriage and belong in the Marriage Index Data -- there
are no parentage attributes in the Birth Index Data set.
Donofrio says this information
puts to bed questions that Stanley Ann and Barack, Sr. weren’t married.
He says they were married in Hawaii.
Donofrio asked KingsKid to write
back to Okubo and seek additional information. What I get from
this is that there will be more emails, back and forth. This will
go where it will go.
It is important to remember that this
"Index" record is not "evidence" of a marriage -- only a formal, sealed
marriage certificate is evidence of a state-sanctioned marriage.
And why is Barak Hussein Obama's name misspelled?
Marriage In Hawaii
Marriage license Laws in the state of Hawaii --
here is what you need to bring with you, and what you need to know
about the Hawaii marriage laws before filling out the Hawaii marriage
license form.
In order to get married, you need to apply and
receive a marriage license. This is the document in your state
that allows you to officially tie the knot under the law. The
rules for acquiring your marriage license varies from state to state, so
you should check with your city’s marriage bureau at your clerk of
court’s office to find out what your local rules are.
You’ll
typically need to apply for your marriage license at least one month
before your wedding ceremony. You’ll traditionally need to send in
your birth certificates, tax information, and other official documents.
You don’t, however, want to apply for your marriage license too early.
In some states, the licenses do expire, if you don’t get married within
a few months.
When you apply for your license, you’ll not only
need a proof of identification and age, will need to provide any
information about previous marriages, and will need to pay a nominal
fee. You will also need to have a witness when you sign the
application, so plan on bringing your maid of honor or best man with
you. The bride will need to know what her married name will be
before she signs the marriage certificate. You’ll have to write
that name on the application.
And, believe it or not, just
because you have your marriage license sent to you in the mail does not
mean you are officially married. You need to have a justice of the
peace or a religious clergyman sign the document. On your wedding
day, you’ll give your chaplain your marriage license, then after the
ceremony, he’ll sign it and send it to the proper government agency for
validation.
None of that
documentation has been discovered or released.
The
Families
React
In "Dreams...," Obama writes that the Dunhams weren't happy with the union, but
Barack Senior's father was furious.
He
wrote the Dunhams "this long, nasty letter saying that he didn't
approve of the marriage," Obama recounted his mother telling him, "He didn't want the Obama blood sullied by a white
woman."
Six months after they wed,
another letter arrived in Kenya, announcing the birth of Barack
Hussein Obama, born Aug. 4, 1961. Despite her husband's continued
anger, Sarah Obama said in a recent interview, she "was so happy to have
a grandchild in the U.S."
This is
the same Sarah who also
said she was in the delivery room when Obama was
born in Kenya.
This story originates with Obama, but there is no evidence of an
actual marriage -- more Obama BS? -- it's impossible to tell reality
from fantasy with this guy -- except for the antipathy the Obamas had
for white people.
Living Apart
Memo from William Ward, INS file, dated
31 AUG 1961,
on page 34 states:
"They have one child born Honolulu
8/4/1961 -- Barack Obama II, child living with mother (she lives with
her parents & Subject resides at 1482 Alencastre St)."
Whether it's Obama lying
about Senior being a goat herder, or Senior leaving "the family" when he
was two years old, his life story is a crock -- demonstrably so.
In an article entitled, "The
Obama Lie That Drove The Birther Movement," Jack Cashill says documents
from Barack Obama Sr.'s
immigration file, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act,
justify Birther doubts about the story on which Barack Obama based his
presidential campaign.
A memo dated Aug. 31, 1961, from William Wood of
the Immigration and Naturalization Services, verifies that Barack Obama,
Sr. fathered a son, Barack Obama II, who was born in Honolulu on Aug, 4,
1961, but it also verifies the fact that his parents never lived
together -- as argued here for three years.
Wood notes that the child is
"living with mother (she lives with her parents & subject resides at
1482 Alencastre St.)." He adds that Obama's citizen spouse plans
"to go to Washington State University next semester."
Note:
Stanley Ann and baby Barry were already long-gone and in Seattle, WA,
when this note was penned.
By the way, this note also
demonstrates that the "birth announcements" that say, "Mr. and Mrs.
Barack H. Obama, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy..." are bogus.
Cashill also notes that
immigration authorities certainly wondered about an Obama-Dunham
marriage. An April 1961 memo notes, "If his USC [United States
Citizen] wife tries to petition for [Obama Sr.] make sure an
investigation is conducted as to the bona-fide of the marriage."
There is no primary
documentation of a marriage. There is no marriage license.
There is no state-issued marriage certificate -- only a reference to a
marriage in the Dunham/Obama divorce filing.
Obama even commented on the
alleged marriage in "Dreams...":
"How and when the marriage occurred remains
a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the
courage to explore. There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a
ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance;
it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were informed."
Wife Michelle even commented.
She described Stanley Ann as "very young and very single when she had
him (Obama)."
Anna filed for divorce on January 27, 1964 and remarried one years late,
in March 1965, when her son, Barry, was 4 years old.
Obama 1964 Divorce Papers on Scribd.com (13
pages). There is no wedding license attached.
Investigators were only able to get to a copy of the sanitized divorce
record. It was an
incomplete copy, with page 11 missing. The scrubbed page could
have been a copy of Obama's birth certificate.
Interestingly,
when researchers ordered the file, "the clerk read the index information
directly from the microfiche machine over the phone when the request was
placed. "14 pages total," she said, very clearly, repeating the
answer when queried several more times on the page count. When the
document was received -- page 11 was missing -- bringing the total page
count to 13."
Obama Sr. was never
notified of the divorce. The copy of the divorce papers was
"returned to sender."
In Massachusetts you MUST file a
Certified Original Marriage Cert before the judgment of divorce nisi
enters or the divorce is final.
Also, In MA, divorce files are
public record so anyone can read the entire file and yes, the
marriage cert. would be there.
