The Pirate Life Of President Obama

The latest article The Young Mother Abroad on the Sunday New York Times Magazine by Janny Scott, with photographic evidence, confirms unequivocally that Obama was once a pirate.

Scott's article wasn't particular interesting or revealing except for a few things.  First and foremost, the cover photo which strictly speaking isn't by her, depicts a fiercely funny Obama and a lovely, loving and protective young mother Stanley Ann Dunham.  The piece goes on suggesting Obama's stepfather, Lolo Soetoro might have given his mother a bloody nose and Dunham prescribes corporal punishment on the young Obama by "spank(ing) him with his (step)father's military belt."  This is all from Saman, a domestic helper of Dunham's Indonesia's home.  Apparently it's reliable enough for the New York Times to print them.
