That Stanley Ann Dunham was one amazing woman...

[Drunken Irishman]

I mean, just think about it. Here you have a mother giving birth to a black child at the height of the Civil Rights Era, giving him an obscure and exotic name and yet had the clairvoyance to know one day he would run for the President of the United States.

When born, 189,323,175 people were living in the United States. Even with those long of odds, Stanley Ann Dunham just knew her African born son was going to be the next leader of the Free World. And the only way to make this prophecy come true? Forge his birth certificate and say he was born, gasp, in the state of Hawaii!

God what a woman.

1. No need to be tongue in cheek about her. She was an amazing woman.

I love the story about her waking up at 4 to give Barack his English lessons and I wonder what made her so smart about raising her son. An awesome awesome woman that Stanley Ann Dunham.

Especially when it comes to morons.

8. Wisely she chose the PERFECT name for a Presidential candidate...

.... John Dunham.

Keeping her perfectly Irish surname over that weird, totally foreign sounding, non-believable last name of her Kenyan husband. I mean, ya gotta give the kid a name voters can pronounce, right? It's sweet to name a boy after his father and all, but, come on, how would anyone named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ever get elected President????!!!! Crazy talk.

9. She understood reverse psychology!

Plus she had that crystal ball that the gypsy gave to her....
the one that popped out of the lamp! You know!

19. It is amazing that she was married to two CIA assets!

Also she was working in Asia for the Ford Foundation and the USAID.

In fact some muckrakers have alleged that she was also a CIA asset.

Check google...
