Kid By the Side of the Road (Juan O Savin) excerpt : The history books tell us that Barack Obama says he was born on August 4th of 1961. Seriously? Hey, isn’t that the 216th day of the year? Doesn’t 6 x 6 x 6 also equal 216? Barack Obama was not born on Aug 4th. That birthdate was assigned to him by his handlers as a indelible mark, a tattoo of origins, within the British intelligentsia’s system. When did Obama’s mother visit Peace Arch Hospital in British Columbia to pick up Barack, who was already many months old? Friends who babysat Barack Obama for Miss Dunham in late September and early October of 1961, have repeatedly stated that he was many months older than the seven or eight weeks Dunham purported him to be. Additionally, persons who had known her from high school and who crossed paths with her in the early summer of 1961, state that she showed no indication of being pregnant, let alone in an advanced state of pregnancy for a supposedly-early-August birth.
