Is anyone's memory as bad as Obama's?

Americans respect family. Normally, most any of us can rapidly rattle off extended family trees, recite dates and locations of births or marriages and navigate complicated half- and step-relationships.

Is it just me or is Barack Obama not one of us when it comes to family memories?

At every turn his basic life story is fraught with questions on the most elementary details. Let's review:

1. Where did his parents meet? Obama says, in Russian-language class at the University of Hawaii. But a photo shows his grandfather Stanley greeting Barack Sr. as if he already knew him on his arrival to Hawaii, among several convivial photos of Barack Sr. without Obama's mother Ann.

2. Barack Obama claims his father arrived in Hawaii Sept. 9, 1959, airlifted from Kenya by Jackie Robinson's efforts; but the University of Hawaii officially confirmed Barack Sr. was already enrolled before then.
3. His parents' ephemeral marriage, though documented in divorce papers, was denied by his wife in a campaign speech.

4. The date of the alleged marriage was given both as Feb. 2 and as Feb. 21, 1961.
5. His birth announcements claim an address for him that there is no evidence he or his parents ever lived at. His father had a bachelor pad while his mother allegedly remained with her parents.
6. Even words like "father" and "mother" must be used advisedly with Obama, because the poem attributed to him, "Pop", is dedicated not to Barack Sr. but to his grandfather Stanley, or another man; and no photo of his mother's pregnancy has ever surfaced – six months of her life are completely undocumented. (With his birth certificate missing, we use the polite words more out of gracious consideration than evidence.)
7. He claims to have been born in Hawaii, but University of Washington documents place him and his mother in Seattle 15 days later, without any explanation. And his generally accepted birthdate of Aug. 4, 1961, was contradicted by the MySpace account he manages.
8. A letter now claims (though his authorship of it is unconfirmed) that he was born at Kapi'olani Medical Center in Honolulu; but his sister Maya claimed it was Queen's Medical Center; and his grandmother Sarah seemingly recalled attending his birth in Kenya. National media ran widely with Maya's claim until it was memory-holed after WorldNetDaily's exposure of the contradiction.
9. He states his father left his mother when he was 2, though her college documentation all but belies that.
10. His mother stated she married Lolo Soetoro in Maui, March 5, 1964, and/or in Molokai, March 15, 1965. What?
11. Passport records show he was taken to Indonesia on Japan Airlines, but his autobiography recalls it as Pan Am with a whole-cloth three-day layover in Japan instead. Quite a bit of difference there. It appears he didn't write "his" autobiography anyway.
12. According to school and passport records, he was apparently adopted under the names "Barry Soetoro" and/or "Soebarkah" and given Indonesian citizenship, but he makes no statement about ever having changed his name back to Obama or revoking the citizenship. Does he want it both ways?
13. In Indonesia, he slept in the same room as a stepsister whom he forgot about so completely that she never made any news cycle until now, months after she died.
    

    Scott Inoue says this photo shows him with Barack Obama Jr. as classmates at Noelani Elementary School in Honolulu in 1969.

14. Although Obama implies he was in Indonesia uninterrupted from 1967 to 1971, Scott Inoue has released a 1969 photo of himself and "Barry" in third grade back in Honolulu.
15. While Obama worked at his first job apparently in Honolulu, standardized coding indicates someone in Connecticut applied for the Social Security number he is now using.

I don't know about you, but I can tell you where I went to school and who my family members are without equivocation.

I can visit Ronald Reagan's birthplace today, or any other president's, except Obama's (and maybe Chester Arthur's). I can get the full details on when any of our leaders entered this life.

Have you ever seen such a systematic dissembling of simple childhood details for anyone else in history? We may have a motto, "Where's the birth certificate?", but virtually everything about this White House occupant's childhood has two or three conflicting stories about it. This pattern doesn't appear to have begun with his adulthood.

Some slight discrepancy would be normal and even appropriate. But why would his entire family have such trouble keeping his childhood narrative straight at every single point?

I think I know. And let's hope I'm wrong. Because the more these discrepancies continue arising, the more indication we have that family members knew early that something else was amiss about this special narrative. Then, early embellishments merely added confusion to obfuscation.

Something about this cover-up affects not just his presidential eligibility, but his whole administration. I don't doubt that, like many young adults, Obama and his coterie set their ultimate sights on the presidency; and it seems they ultimately did so believing they never needed to disclose any more than a Certification of Live Birth, pretending it was a wholly different form, a certificate of live birth. Now we must all ask: What is their endgame?

And one other point about this record: If he can't even be trusted to report whether his parents were married or who his siblings were, how can he be trusted about any prediction or promise whatsoever relating to "his" policies?
