Reply #6: DUers explode on learning Obama living in Seattle a month after his birth

[unc70]

How many DUers know that Obama and his mother did not remain in Hawaii following his birth? That his father apparently never lived with them since they did not return to Hawaii until after he had left there for Harvard?

Ann Dunham Obama and newborn Barack were living in an apartment in Seattle within a few weeks of his birth and lived there through the following spring. She was a student at University of Washington during this period.

I knew this by January 2008 and posted alluding to this and various other issues with his life story, but did not want to hightlight those discrepancies and thus provide anything the RW could use against him in the general election. I shared more details privately with a few DUers, but mostly let it go.

I mentioned this recently in a post and got accused of posting birther items. After replying in my defense, I checked the Wiki on Ann Dunham to see if any of this was now included and discovered that her Wiki documents Ann and infant Barack living in Seattle his first year. Several of its references were ones I had seen over two years ago.

I don't know what to make of this or why it has been barely reported. It does contradict the story of his life as described in his own books, and it could expose some of the unflattering side of his father's life -- the abusive, violent, alcoholic, womanizer, gambler, etc.

Any thoughts?
