There is an excellent biography of Barack Obama (“Barack Obama: The Story” by David Maraniss) available. His high school classmates even wrote their own book “Our friend Barry,” which I have read. Frontline did a documentary on Obama and Mitt Romney leading up top the 2012 election with interviews with people from Obama’s past. There is nothing whatever mysterious or dubious about Barack Obama.
There is no legitimate doubt about Obama’s parentage. A smear campaign and fringe conspiracy theories carry zero weight. Any normal person named Barack Hussein Obama II, whose father is listed on his birth certificate as Barack Hussein Obama, would be presumed to be the son of the man who was named and who married Obama’s mother. But for Obama people say the nastiest things without any justification. To the conspiracy theorists, the simple fact that Obama occasionally talked to a family friend is grounds for suspicion that the family friend is Obama’s father. Since when is that a justification?
Smearing Obama has been a cottage industry over the past 8 years. It is shameful that anybody buys their tawdry goods.
