Interesting little item

My husband grew up as a neighbor to a doctor's family in the San Francisco area. That family subsequently moved to Oahu. The doctor was an obstetrician.

We just recently found out that he delivered Barack Obama!

And I don't think he ever traveled to Kenya.

So I have shaken the hand that first touched our amazing President!

6. Question..........

So, why didn't this doctor come forward, saying this, when Obama was being lied about for years by Trump and the RepubliCONs for not being born in the U.S......?????????????

Is he a MAGA??????????????????

Maybe because he is an older doctor, and most older generation Dr.'s were devout Republicans ?????????

9. Unfortunately he had passed away.

7. Too bad they didn't interview him when the 🍑💩🤡 lied and said he was born in Africa.

I was so pissed when he did that and never liked him.

But how awesome to know the doctor.

I live and grew up in the same city and wish he would have spoken out then!

10. Sadly, he had passed away.

8. Fantastic!

Here’s my tidbit. President Obama and I are cousins. We share the same 12 or 13th great grandfather on our moms’s side. An English military man who came to the US, if memory serves it was to Sturbridge MA. I need to look it up again. Somewhere I have the family tree outlining both our path’s to this common ancestor.

[TBF]

13. I have that same "relationship" to Bill Gates through my mom's side -

we are the same generation, but you have to go back 13 generations to get to the common ancestor who come over in the 1620's!

19. I'd be delighted to attend either family reunion!

[ailsagirl]

11. WOW!!

[lucca18]

12. Wow! What a great story!

[wordstroken]

14. Wow! Awesome!! And I thought I was cool because I got to shake hands with Obama

early in his campaign when he spoke in Ybor City, FL, to a smallish crowd, and got an autographed copy of his book.

[leftieNanner]

15. Ooh. I'm jealous! Nt

[wordstroken]

16. Oh but your story is so much more interesting, exiting, and unique.

My story leans more towards Ho-hum boring.

[mountain grammy]

18. Great story. How cool!

20. The Orange Idiot thinks that Hawaii is in the Gulf of America...

...and Greenland grows pineapples.

Thank goodness USAID must have been sending doctors to Oahu to deliver a great President!!

21. 2 cool stories in this thread!

[LogDog75]

22. So did the doctor deliver Obama in Honolulu?

Seeing as Obama was born in Honolulu in 1961, the doctor would have had to have been in Hawaii at that time. Is this correct?

[leftieNanner]

23. Yes, that's correct. Nt

[LogDog75]

24. Thanks,

I have a nasty little habit of when something doesn't jibe or something is left out I ask questions about it. Many times, like this time, it's easily corrected.

I was in the AF for 28 years and I heard a lot of BS stories. Early in my AF enlisted career is when I started developing my internal BS detector. It wasn't just about the outlandish claims people made about themselves but also when they, both officers and enlisted, start outright lying to make themselves look goo that I would question them. Sometimes it was privately or during a meeting. I wasn't obnoxious but I would ask a question in a tone that was simply asking them to explain and then I'd sit back and watch them squirm.

I know a lot of people, especially republicans, who don't like it when I question them. How dare I question their integrity (as if they had any) by challenging what they say. I know I make them uncomfortable when they're spreading misinformation and that only entertains me more.

[leftieNanner]

25. Good for you!

Never hurts to ask.

Or, maybe it does to a liar!

26. Amazing story! This reminds me...

... Has anyone seen the birth certificate of the current President? Some people are saying that he was born in Russia. His current wife is from Slovenia.
