Obama’s Mama

Biographer Janny Scott once said about Barack Obama’s mama, “I never imagined that an American president would have a mother who had done the things that she did.”

Stanley Ann Dunham, who went by many names, led a nomadic and eventful life which included time spent living in three different countries and a PhD earned three years before her untimely death at just 52 years of age.

What is not widely known about her is her time spent as a nude model. Her Wikipedia page makes no mention of it, but a look through the “Talk” section (where Wikipedia page edits are discussed), shows that at one point, the possibility of including this information had been discussed and ultimately decided against:

“The lady is dead and gone. She isn’t alive to defend herself. I believe the photos are her. But they don’t add anything and are only hurtful to her surviving family.”

Full disclosure: I’ve completely plagiarized everything above from an article I wrote for a newsletter I was doing at the time (a few months ago). Unfortunately now as I go back to the Wikipedia page of Obama’s mama and into the “Talk” section I can no longer find that part to be able to screenshot it for here. I did find this mention of “racy photos” being removed, however:

The Photos

Okay let’s take a look at some of the images that are readily available for anybody to see on the internet. This is far from the entire catalogue, as the image quality of what’s available is very hit-or-miss and I didn’t wanna include a bunch of UFO-style photos.

And I’m not here to say that there’s anything wrong with this line of work. It’s just funny knowing that the only reason that no one knows about this is because Obama has always been the media’s golden boy. There are politicians that the media (and websites like Wikipedia and fake fact-checking website like Snopes) will ditch their journalistic integrity in their attempts to bury, and then there are others for whom they will protect and cover-up everything at any cost.
