What’s in a Name? Barack Obama’s Mom and the Biographess Who Did Not Care… A Singular Woman: The Untold [Name] of Barack Obama’s Mother
“A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother”
Oh my. So whomever this Mother was, her name is unworthy of the book’s title. Delicious. Let us treat the biographess, too, as nameless.
“A Singular Woman?” There is nothing quite like burlesque incongruity in the morning.
One wonders whether the biographess understood that adherents to Critical Theory and marxist claptrap in general are wedded to group identity and to the politics of class, race, gender… everything but the person, the individual, the singular phenomenon. To drive the lampoon home, the biographess makes the quantum leap into class – motherhood – and so the title ignores the subject’s identity entirely. Our good author rather found it more important to identify the book’s subject by an important male – a male infamous for his dissimulation and prevarication. It’s nuts. Completely nuts!
If one had made a deliberate attempt to besmirch the womanhood of a particular individual, could there be a more dehumanizing and insulting way? Her name isn’t in the title but she is identified instead by the world’s most incompetent liar. Nuts!
. . .
Since the subject of the book is apparently of minor importance, how about a quick review of the real subject: Barack Hussein Obama, mmmm! mmmm! mmmm! In this case, we’ll note of one of Barack Obama’s prevarications, the one inadvertently highlighted in the book:
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama often discussed his mother’s struggle with cancer. Ann Dunham spent the months before her death in 1995, Obama said, fighting with insurance companies that sought to deny her the coverage she needed to pay for treatment.
. . .
Tip ‘ the hat to Dan Riehl and to Byron York.
I just posted on Dunham’s health insurance, quoting another author with the name ‘Scott,’ Scott Wright. Linked. Great commentary! Thanks for standing up for womanhood:-)
Thanks Maggie. I stand for personhood, the individual. That Scott had denied even Ann’s name is bloody shameful.
