   Lucas,

   Bruce, do you still have your copy of Janny Scott’s book? Can you take a look and see if the picture is in there?

   Yes! The exact same picture is shown in the book, ‘A Singular Woman’ by Janny Scott. It is positioned along with many other photos in the mid-book section, between page 120 and page 121.

   The caption beneath the photo reads, “Holding Maya, with Lolo’s mother (left) and Madelyn Dunham (right) in Jakarta, August 1970”

   The following quote is from the book, ‘A Singular Woman’ pages 113 to 115 (a photo captioned ‘Lolo and Maya, about 1971’, in shown on page 114).

   The quote is intended for those skeptics who have somehow ILLOGICALLY CONCLUDED that our acknowledged SINGULAR WOMAN, Ann Dunham, was somehow INCAPABLE of traveling to Kenya, a third world country and giving birth to Barack Hussein Obama II 9 years earlier on August 4, 1961 at the Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa.

   On August 15, 1970, shortly after Barry’s ninth birthday and during what would turn out to be Madelyn Dunham’s only visit to Indonesia, Ann gave birth to Maya at Saint Carolus Hospital, a Catholic hospital thought by Westerners at that time to be the best in Jakarta. When Halimah Brugger gave birth in the same hospital two years later, she told me, the doctor delivered her baby without the luxury of a stethoscope, gloves, or gown. The doctor, a woman, was wearing a pink suit. “When the baby was born, the doctor asked my husband for his handkerchief, “Brugger remembered. “Then she stuffed it in my mouth and gave me eleven stitches without any anesthesia”

   @ Bruce:

   If you have time can look to see if there are there any newborn pictures of Barack with his mom in Janny Scott’s book?

   I looked carefully through the entire book and report there are no NEWBORN PHOTOS of Barack Obama II with his mother, Ann Dunham.

   A photo of Barack as a toddler with his mother is shown on the front dust cover for the book. This appears to be the photo showing Barack at the youngest age in the book.

   This same photo is also shown in the below linked article and is captioned: ‘MAMA ANN HOLDING BARRY. HE LOST HIS HAIR.’
