Here is the evidence of Barack Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama, in vintage nude photos from the 1960s. See the pictures, sources and commentary here. The story is culturally interesting to be sure, although it will not have any impact on the presidential race. They appear to be quite authentic yet we realize readers will want to review and judge for themselves and that anything is possible in a season of dirty campaign tricks.
The poses are tastefully done in what might be called artistic photos in which the photographer favors her butt. Obama’s mom is apparently wearing comically high heels for that time period, with a simple necklace and little makeup. The pics were reportedly located on a porno site whose name is evident on one of them, the “Free Vintage Porn” Whatchamacallit site. The origin is from a blogger who worked on a tip from a convincing insider.
It is oddly speculated that Frank Marshall Davis took the pictures, an acquaintance of Mrs. Dunham when she was married, but we cannot possibly verify that he is the one (deceased now) and that sounds like partisan nonsense to us. He was a photographer among other literary pursuits as a Marxist organizer of some note in Hawaii.
What we can say is that the photo session does appear to be authentic. If you carefully compare the known Stanley Ann Dunham photos with the naked versions, you can see unmistakable signs. The eyes are the same with the unusual eyebrows above. Her long cheek bone lines are similar as is the angle of her ears. Her nose is upturned in a French fashion while her mouth is petite and heart shaped cutely and her neck lines are the same. And nobody photoshops three images when one will do just fine.
Our Right Pundits editors had a healthy debate about whether or not to publish about pictures of Obama’s nude mom. We do not publish naked images uncensored but the story in my view is obviously newsworthy. In making this decision, we apply the same standards as the New York Times. If Cindy McCain’s addiction and Nancy Reagan’s fortune telling and the Bush Twins partying are newsworthy items, which they are, surely reports on the risque mom of a U.S. president is equally newsworthy.
Especially in Hawaii in the 1950’s and 1960’s. During the Joe McCarthy era when interracial dating was still taboo in many of The States, Obama’s mom was apparently known for a rebellious streak. She eventually gave him up to the grandparents when he was ten years old, but little is spoken about this period of Obama’s life except in whispers.
The next question is does this matter. We think not. Barack Obama had an unusual childhood which exposed him to unusual circumstances, including mosque in Indonesia and a free-spirited mother who was seemingly drawn to interesting men. He has been on a self-described lifelong journey of “personal discovery” ever since. He is clearly a product of his past as we all are, but he has overcome these obstacles to achieve the American dream and sit one hair away from the presidency.
And in many ways, Barack Obama’s mother is emblematic of 21st century liberated women, free to pursue careers in pantsuits or become sex kittens as they choose. Obama’s mother chose her own path and never looked back. She was a trailblazer who engaged in interracial marrying (twice!) when nobody else was brave, gave her child up essentially to adoption, and experimented in all sorts of things that would become commonplace among flower children within 20 years. She fled back to Indonesia in 1977 while abandoning Barack.
The Obama campaign did not respond to a request for comment on this article.
As a brief update, a gentle suggestion is that some of our visitors move into the 21st century. American culture in on a 2,000 year quest to finally catch up with the Greeks, when nudity was commonplace and non-controversial. Even the goddesses were depicted nude, while the wives of the ruling class were pridefully sculpted topless. The nation will survive Obama’s mom posing nude, yet here I find liberal readers sounding like John Ashcroft. Gawker Media, a liberal-leaning yet respected media giant beat us to this story. Explain why it matters at all.

“Beth Shaw -
I think perhaps you need a good margarita and a deep breath. This is as bad or worse than many of the attacks on Palin.”
With all due respect, there is a BIG difference in posting these pics of BO’s adult mother along with a narrative of her very public life decisions, and the kinds of rumors and outright lies and abuse perpetrated by leftards towards the Palins and their minor children.
Sure Sarah Palin can take the attacks, she is a big girl. But her kids are kids – physically and emotionally – and have also been dragged through the mud constantly for 8 weeks. Do you remember the incest skit from SNL? Thats just one of many egregious attacks against that family.
How is what the Daily Kos and other left groups done toward the Palins LESS horrid then a few blotted out pictures of an adult woman and a narrative of her very public life decisions??? Is it the fact she is dead? Well what about Bristol and her pre born baby and the stress of all the rumors about her? Was that not horrid? And little Piper being booed at a hockey game… what about that? Was that snotty? They are very much alive and are living it even now.
I really don’t get your rational. I am surprised you do not see the difference. I sure do.
Also Beth Shaw has the right to her opinion as do you and dissent is always welcome here. But if you are disappointed in the post, you should be directing it at the blogger who wrote it and that would be MCCAIN.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:40 pm
I don’t think Obama’s mother cares about this. She is dead. When I’m dead, I don’t give a rats ass what happens and if I posed for nude pictures, then I knew I was risking this sort of thing. Most liberals won’t care about this. In fact, it probably sends a tingle up their legs.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
I agree Heather. She obviously didn’t have a problem with them. They were tastefully done and she posed for them.
I think maybe there were some leg tingles going on.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Oh gosh, Beth Donovan seems to have a lack of appreciation for her Catholicism, which is responsible for reviving nude artwork in the Renaissance after 1500 years of dark age fundamentalism. If it weren’t for us Catholics, people would still be putting scarlet letters on the Obama mamas of this world and burning the publishers’ books. It really takes a faux Catholic to be offended by nude artwork in this writer’s view.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Tom – my comment wasn’t aimed at you in particular. I do have to say though, if you continue to be as reasonable as you were in your comment (#38), I’ll have to start being much nicer to you. Then our relationship here in the comments will get all confused
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Beth Donovan – apparently I don’t live up to your standards. Did you think my earlier comment was aimed at you? If so, it wasn’t.
I don’t agree with you on this issue, but you have the right to your opinion. This woman chose to make these pictures and apparently thought they were artistic and just hunky dorey – so why is showing them offensive? Many people feel that nude paintings and photos are a form of art.
In my mind this is no where in the same league as the vitriol that’s been aimed at Sarah Palin and her family. You don’t have to agree with me, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong or not Christian enough for having the opinions I have.
With all the comments on this post, I’m a little confused as to why you feel the need to single me out and to slap my hand and tell me I’ve been a bad girl.
I’ll have a margarita anyway.
October 24th, 2008 at 12:57 am
Woah, man, that Obama momma was a freak!
Didn’t Frank Marshall Davis write that he and his wife had sex with a young teen named Anne? Well there you go. Meet Anne.
Davis was Bi and like dudes too, so that is why he liked that flat ass and short hair. He also musta like to do it from behind.
Obama momma freaky-deaky.
October 24th, 2008 at 9:22 am
McCain – I’m not a faux Catholic, and I’m pretty disgusted with this article not because of the nudity, but because you are lowering your standards to the crappy standards of Daily Kos.
None of us are responsible for the sins of our fathers, or our mothers, and if you and Beth Shaw cannot see that, well, I think you are both blinded by your hatred of Obama.
If you really think that showing 50 year old pictures of a woman who is the dead mother of any politician is relevant, I would be concerned about your common sense.
I’m an old broad, I’m very conservative, and I believe that part of being conservative is being respectful to people, even if you disagree with him.
I addressed my comments to Beth Shaw because she was exceptionally vitriolic. I never said you had no right to say what you do, but I do think you should consider what it says about your own meanness.
This is all very disappointing. I think the pictures should be removed.
October 24th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Now Beth, what you are advocating for is censorship based on your ideological rigidness. This is instead a publishing decision based on what is obviously a newsworthy story, even much more so than Carla Bruni’s nude images were newsworthy in France because it is a culturally interesting story.
What exactly is the sin of his mother? Obama’s mom posing isn’t a sin, so I reject that inference entirely. She was in many ways a generation ahead of her time, and not just on sexuality but in a lot of socially liberal areas like interracial dating and marriage. The fact that you see nudity as a sin, or nude modeling as a sin, says something interesting about yourself. Unless you are claiming an immaculate conception, your mom was presumably nude once too.
FYI here is the very Catholic Donatello’s famous statue done in the 1400’s. It almost got him executed by the rigid idealogues of his day. Worth a visit to the Bargello museum next time you are in Florence:

Beth D. – I have never been called ‘mean’ by any person who knows me personally. I find this very disappointing from the standpoint that we have known each other in the Cotillion for a couple of years. I had no idea you had such a low opinion of me. But it’s duly noted now.
October 24th, 2008 at 10:26 am
I apologize to Beth Shaw. I did not understand that she was pointing her comments at people who have previously celebrated the horrible lies made about Sarah Palin (who I just love) and her family.
I understand how she feels.
I DO NOT APOLOGIZE to McCain.
This is a dumb post, you should not have posted it.
October 24th, 2008 at 10:40 am
McCain -
I am ideologically rigid? I laugh at your ignorance!
I am an artist. I have been in drawing classes with nude models.
Quit skirting around the issue – you want to make Obama look bad because of his mother’s nudity.
It’s irrelevant, you are irrelevant.
October 24th, 2008 at 10:53 am
We should have a day in America where everyone runs around naked.
Just to get all this crap outta the way.
October 24th, 2008 at 11:52 am
You are some mentally sick people using photoshop to do what God says is UGLY and those will not enter in his kingdom! Your ignorance is just as sick as the college girl for McCain who LIED about a black attacker. She was as ill as you and took the time to carve a surface scratch B letter on her face with a mirror. GOD WILL NOT LET EVIL IN HIS KINGDOM. Thank the lord you evil people are going to lose! Good wins over Evil ALWAYS!
October 24th, 2008 at 11:57 am
P.S. The blogger took his/hers mother’s picture and replaced it with O’s mom’s head. lol like you guys have access to such photo’s and cannot sell it. What happened ENQUIRER didn’t want to pay you millions for a fake photo? HAHA. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. You could benefit from Obama’s college education tax credit!!! I recommend you take a course on real christianity that doesn’t promote hate & evil!
October 24th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
The Obama Mama nudey pics are funny. The post isn’t vitriolic, and neither are Beth Shaw’s comments. Even some liberals acknowledge that the left and the media have been unusually brutal with the Palins. This post only shows something that’s already in the news. Everybody needs to lighten up. Obama probably saw these pics long ago. It’s just mild nudity – no porn or anything. It won’t affect the election one way or the other.
October 24th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
For the democrats who cry “foul”, just remember what Sarah Palin has been put through. The low blows to Cindy McCain about her prescription addiction, the shirts saying “Sarah Palin is a c**t” As far as I know, neither of those ladies showed their goodies to the camera. Yet they are demonized by all the women haters and shelousy sufferers
If you are going to dish it out, be ready to take it yourself.
October 24th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Ana.
Are you actually Margaret White ?
October 25th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Wow Obama, what a wonderful mom you had! Not only was she a rebellious, anti-Establishment, commie-loving, hate-America, Atheist, feminist, radical, who disdained clean-cut white boys and would only have intercourse with black men (thank God she never lived close to a zoo or Obama may have had a hybrid simian sibling), but now it turns out that she was also a “Porn Queen” too – and that in the fifties was quite an achievement and not as common as it is today! Did she give full service too? Wow!
Is she the one who taught you all your “lofty values”, Obama? Did she bake cookies too?

The problem I have is simply that Obama has lied about so much. McCain is right he will say anything to get elected so it leads me to believe he is lying about all the economy stuff that so many americans trust him on. He is untrustworthy period.
He is only ahead because of all the money he raised and he lied about taking pubic financing as well, all lies.
October 26th, 2008 at 5:19 am
Well you have to realize her lack of morals by the fact that she was willing to have sexual relations with a man who was already married. Just accept the fact that she was slutty and a degenerate. All of you who think he is the second coming are being duped and will wish for the bush years if he gets in to office and begins to implement his socialist policies. Not that Mc Cain is much better. Still he is a radical leftist who will destroy this country.
October 26th, 2008 at 5:50 am
In this kind of environment, it’s amazing that Obama isn’t more messed up than he appears.
October 26th, 2008 at 10:49 am
average american, are you talking about Cindy McCain when you write “her lack of morals by the fact that she was willing to have sexual relations with a man who was already married”?
October 26th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Let’s see Barack Obama wrote two books about a father he only met ONCE when he was ten for a day.
Then wrote a book dedicated to his race baiting minsiter Reverend Wright.
…and not once, in both books, did he mention his mother…NOT ONCE.
That tells you something about sonny boy Obama.
Even he had disdain for his trampy mother.
