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 We do not publish naked images uncensored but the story in my view is obviously newsworthy.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.
See much more of Obama’s mother below, which you can blow up and compare for yourself.

Goodness. I’m speechless.
I have to say that my heart goes out to Obama. In all seriousness, no one deserves to see his mother like this in front of the whole world.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Well, um… They have the same jawline. I’ll leave it at that.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
How would you feel if your mom was a wanton slut who made you live a secret life? Probably pretty unstable, no?
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I find it interesting that theres a Christmas tree and presents in the background.
I dont even know where to start with that when looking at her history
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:45 pm

Remember that some socialists remained in the closet, appearing normal ( Christmas tree, etc) Back then red flags would be raised if a child showed up at school unaware of Christmas traditions.
At least now I understand why the one preacher ( can’t think of name ) called her all the names he did. I thought it unfair, but the truth speaks for itself.
You’re right….it won’t affect the election. Matter of fact, the libs will hold up as a true role model that paved the way for all the nekkid and vulgar celebs we see today.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:02 pm
PS…I am not referring to Obama..I’m referring to those socialists with children that tried to keep their agenda a secret.

October 22nd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Well. I’m speechless.
No I’m not. You say she married two black men. I thought there is some question as to whether or not she was actually married to Barack Obama, Sr. Did she ever use that last name? He was married at the time already to the woman he left in Kenya while he was in the U.S.
Who was the second guy?
She apparently married Lolo Soetoro – but wouldn’t she have had to divorce Obama before this marriage? Is there a record of the divorce?
Its no wonder that Obama is still ‘finding himself’. I hope he does that before he becomes President. He’s still a young man. Hopefully, he’ll get it all figured out and get some experience before he decides to run for President again.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:50 pm
When Obama was going to Punahou (79) (I spent 3 summers there) I was about 21-22 years old, had my own place in Waikiki, was a tyranical party monster.
Coke in those days was a hundred bucks a gram on the island.
I’m kinda curious how anyone in a family on foodstamps could come up with that dough.
Not that it’ll probably ever amount to anything, its just the way I think.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Micky, I hear Obama will be in Hawaii for the next few days. Why don’t you ask him yourself?
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Oh, believe it or not my dad and I smoked a joint with Neil Abercrombie when he was our community rep. I was about 16.
The area was Manoa/Makiki and my dad ran a tourist attraction in the area so neil was instrumental in a lot of the licensing and infrastructure surrounding the attraction.
Yup, good ole liberal role model there, huh folks ?
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Iggy.
In Hawaii when ever you do something to disturb the peace or some benign incident like telling your neighbor to go f*ck himself the police write it up and charge you with “terroristic threatening”
I need to jump through hoops just to get on a neighbor island flight.
Whenever a security check is run on me red flags go up everywhere , otherwise believe me I would ask him myself and tape the whole thing.
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:23 pm
a very good friend of mine said the proudest moment of her life was when she sunbathed with her dad nude at 21 …
now that i could do without myself …
but i’m with cindy crawford … so your child sees pictures of you nude. nothing to be ashamed about
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:07 am
OK, we now have the info on the Barack Obama birth certificate mystery. At first I dismissed this story as ludicrous, but actually it is now the only one which makes sense and does bring together all the pieces of the Barack puzzle. To sum it up, Barack Obama was NOT born in Kenya, he WAS born in Hawaii after all (thus he is a qualifying natural born citizen) BUT, the Kenyan Barack Obama Senior was not his real dad; his real dad was his mentor, his grandparents’ family friend and early civil rights leader, Frank Marshall Davis who had an affair with Barack’s “kind of swinging” mother. (Barack’s infirmed garndmother is the last living person who possesses this ’secret’). Don’t dismiss what I’m saying. Read below (and think about how it all makes sense). Ths Hawaiian Birth Certificate WAS ‘doctored up’ but not because Obama was born in Kenya but because the dad listed was not his real dad. It was done by agreement among Barack’s mother, then swinger-Frank Marshall Davis who was already married to a white woman and had a child, and Barack Obama Senior (which explains why he had no problem leaving Barack who barely saw him after that).
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:09 am
Actually, when you think about this, it IS the only plausible explanation for all the events. That is, Obama’s birth certificate was phonied up, not because Obama was born in Kenya (since he really was born in Hawaii after all) but because the father listed after the fact was NOT Barack’s real father. This all make sense now explaining why Barack senior had no problem leaving the young Barack and nearly never seeing him again, and Barack’s mentor and remaining close family friend of Barack’s maternal grandparenrts (who happens to look like Barack as well) was Frank Marshall Davis.
Barack’s mother had an affair with then swinger, Frank Marshall Davis who was already married to a white woman and had a child. Hence the cover up, agreed to by Barack’s Mom, Frank Marshall Davis and Barack senior — and Barack’s infirmed grandmother is the last living person possessing this ’secret’ and having this connection.
This also explains the great ambivilance Barack felt toward his mother and grandmother, who deprived Barack of his real roots and familial connection to the more well known Frank Marshall Davis
And, it explains why it was understandable for Barack to return to Hawaii from Indonesia, without his mother, to live with his maternal grandparents and be close to who, in fact, WAS his real father, Frank Marshall Davis (who remained a close family friend of Barack’s maternal grandparents living in Hawaii).
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:26 am
Ted, the problem with this line is why do it? Why trade one radical father for another one and cover it up in a generational conspiracy to no logical benefit?
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:27 am
This is not her. There is some similarity, but the face is a completely different shape.
You are obviously desperate for a last minute scandal that might knock Obama out of the box.
It is pretty bad, attacking someone’s mom. If I were Obama I’d ask you to step outside. This is doing the dozens for real.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:43 am
how low can you go…
*shakes head*
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:55 am
You guys must be getting really desperate… kind of sad to see (but fun anyway). And yes, Beth, Obama will be more experienced when he runs for president again in four years. After all, he will have been in the White House for a full term arleady.
In the meantime, as Powell put it, experience is important, but not as much as judgement. It’s the latter that is so lacking in the ticket you support. And brains, yep, that’s kind of important, too. It takes Palin longer to remember her memorized lines of concatenated buzzwords than it takes Obama to process the question in real time and give a coherent answer. McCain is a great deal smarter than Palin, but just picking that Alaskan freak disqualifies him, a sentiment, by the way, that’s shared by many Republicans.

October 23rd, 2008 at 5:40 am
Wow i’m going to donate to the Obama campaign today because of this article. This is wrong on so many levels. This guy’s mom is DEAD! I dont care if she was a crack head prostitute you dont do things like this. Morals have clearly gone out the window with you guys.
October 23rd, 2008 at 6:17 am

October 23rd, 2008 at 6:24 am
Good work. All your years off surfing porn sites on company time has paid off. What do you do with all your kiddie porn after you have abused yourself for hours on end? The FBI will find it on your hard drive no matter how much you scrub it.
October 23rd, 2008 at 6:37 am
Oy gevalt! What business is it of anyone’s if Obama’s mother posed for nude pix in 1960. It was a way of making a bit of money, and it was quite possible that she really needed money in those days.
This should have as little influence upon our decisions for 4Nov as the stories of BillClinton’s very difficult early years should have had.
W.
October 23rd, 2008 at 7:18 am
I’m just really glad that I’ve had this opportunity to see what it was that gave Obama his ethical base and morals.
My parents were doing all kinds of crazy liberal sh*t when I was a kid, not as far left as Obamas mom of course.
But then I’m a recovering dem, and I’m not running for pres.
I always thought there was a mixed message going on when any magazine/photographer would use nudity with a backdrop that represented a christian holiday.
I’ll bet Jesus was up there screaming :
Hey ! What the f*ck are you doing a$$hole !
Its my bithday ! Put yer damn clothes on !

You have done a horribly dishonorable thing and yet you will probably not even be able to fathom the depth of your fall.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:00 am
oh yes, one more part of obamas past we’re supposed to just shove under the rug. pfft
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:20 am
Gee Demitri.
I thought the left celebrated this kinda thing.
Doesnt this empower her ?
Does she not represent the loss of inhibition that the left is famous for ?
I figured you and your ilk would defend this instead of making Pundits out to be the bad guys.
I’m sure Obamas mom would take the defense and ask us whats wrong with this.
I myself have no more problem with the nudity than anyone else who appreciates human anatomy.
Its the Christmas tree behind her that blows my mind.
And then you have to wonder who released these also.
It could be some right wing loon with an axe to grind that inadvertently got ahold of em.
It could be that someone in the Obama family released them thinking this makes a positive statement.
You also have to take into account that McCain did say;
“anything is possible in a season of dirty campaign tricks”.
Then again, as McCain stated, if the left can bring up Cindys addiction as something wrong or Nancy Reagans astrologer along with the many acts of adultry McCain commited that no one can prove then its only fair, right ?
Bush is a murdering lying n*zi and our troops are air raiding innocent villages.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:24 am
I don’t understand publishing these photos. I never thought I would feel sick-to-my-stomach pity and sorrow for Obama. Naked pictures of his mom on the internet. I don’t see a big backlash against McCain for these coming out on the eve of the election, but the sympathies are 100% with Obama on this one.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:30 am
People here think its low to ‘attack a mother’? Asking where Right Pundit’s morals are? Please!!!
You are the same people who took glee in viciously attacking and spreading untrue rumors about Sarah Palin (and she’s a mother) and her CHILDREN. You had no problem at all in VERY personal attacks on that entire family.
Nothing personal is said here about this woman or her progeny. This isn’t a vicious attack. In fact, McCain was very fair in presenting this story. She had the pictures made and they were already on the internet. They are tastefully done, and even at that, McCain went out of his way to cover her.
The democrats have no ability to take the moral high ground on any of this and trying to do so is nothing short of jaw droppingly hypocritical.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:46 am
This is going way to far. I’m no fan of Obama, but you all should be damned ashamed of yourselves for this post.
This could be photoshopped or not, either way, it doesn’t matter, it’s just really wrong to push things this way. Wrong.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:51 am
it is pretty bad, attacking someone’s mom.
Edward – were you equally outraged when someone photoshopped bikini clad photos of Sarah Palin and circulated them around the internet? How about when a porn movie was made with her likeness.
Did that bother you?
I haven’t seen any of the men in this campaign treated with the viciousness that the left has treated Sarah Palin. They even treated Hillary Clinton badly. Its obvious that the left has a problem with powerful women.
Do people have a problem with the female body? Is that why they find these pictures outrageous? She posed for the photos, so she obviously didn’t have a problem with it.
I think this faux outrage is code for sexism.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:00 am
Beth, if your comments were in part directed to me, please understand they were not intended to accuse you folks of immoral or improper conduct. The pics were already on the internet when you got them. So, that moral decision had already been made by someone else.
My observation was and is simply that anyone would feel kicked in the stomach if they saw naked pictures of their mother on the internet.
I personally do not reach the issue of whether the publication of nude pictures of any woman who consented to posing for them is, or could ever be, viewed as an attack on her. My point is simply that the publication of such photos is virtually certain to prove very painful to such women’s childern.
Finally, as for the attacks of some left bloggers on Palin regarding her children, I couldn’t agree more with you as to their inappropriateness. But I don’t think Mr. Phillips, based on my reading of his previous posts on this website, is one of those persons.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:51 am
I can’t believe this. I so ashamed at being called a republican. I will always be a conservative…but republicans give us a horrible name. This is just trash. I’m not voting this year. I don’t agree with Obama’s policies, but I CAN NOT contribute to the republican party this year. I’ll either vote Obama or just stay home…more than likely stay home.
disgusting.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:13 am
I’ll say this much.
If these were pics of Bushs mom the left would have them plastered everywhere while attacking the character of the whole family based on that alone.
I’ll never forget that pic of Lieberman on his knees in front of Bush at the KOS.
Where was the outrage there ?
I’m not saying that bad behavior warrants more bad behavior as these pics I believe are just representative of an action that I dont see as horribly immoral, except from a christian perspective concerning the christmas tree in the background its really no big deal.
What it does is give us an insight as to how Obama was raised.
Will we see more nude art if Obama lands in office ?
Relaxed nudity laws ?
If you want to approach it from another position you could ask if Obama wins the office will we see more porno shops around ?
Girlsxlipstick.
If you percieve this as one mistake made by one conservative author that would cause you to turn 180 degrees and vote for Obama?
Me thinks your a fake.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:25 am
I have a slightly different take on this. I am an Internet services provider. After spending 2 weeks getting Sarah Palin porn removed from the Internet using my professional methods to work with Internet hosting companies, I can truly appreciate that the sight of these photos can be upsetting to people, related or not. I do not classify these as porn but sensitive material, as they are not evidenced to be porn but simply nude photos of a woman possibly taken with permission. However, the intent to harm someone with the posting of these images can be contrued in court as malicious and harming and be in violaiton of the Terms Of Service for the hosting of the rightpundits.com Website. If reported to the hosting authority, these images can be removed or the Website terminated by this host.
With that said, there are reasons that the posting of these photos online can be considered against the law or the rules: It is offensive.
AND TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE THIS RIGHT. When someone does something that is immoral or unethical, don’t stoop to their level.
I am all for seeking the truth, especially when so many of us can be impacted by this election. But proper authorities and proper channels should be used to do so, and media, whether it be professional or just someone’s blog, should take responsibility to do the right thing and not just be after the headline of the moment.
Barack Obama obviously has not fully disclosed his past. Because he has chosen to run for this public office, he is open to being vetted by everyone in this country — and that includes his personal life. My take on this is that he is either very naive or he thinks he can get away with it. In either case, these qualities do not convince me he has the right stuff for this job.
You should have written this article without showing the photos IF you felt compelled that this was the best way to get the information out there to people who should know. I am not convinced that this photo link is really necessary in supporting the case of who Barack Obama’s father is. So what was your motive behind doing this? Sometimes people get caught up in something and need to take a step back and retract.
We are all human. Now go do the human right thing and regain the respect you may have lost with some of these folks here. I am not a prior visitor of this Website, so I will not be back. But I hope some of you who are giving up will continue to stay involved and not give up on this process — our country needs you now more than ever.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:27 am
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.
I’m a Conservative, but not a Republican. I am also a Christian, (Catholic, anyway) and posting these pictures is honestly a very cruel thing to do with no purpose other than to be snotty.
Very disappointed in this post.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
“these images can be contrued in court as malicious and harming and be in violaiton of the Terms Of Service for the hosting of the rightpundits.com Website. If reported to the hosting authority, these images can be removed or the Website terminated by this host.”
That might be true if Pundits was the original source.
These pics were put on a public domain to which Pundits would be exercising free speech by simply displaying what came from that domain.
I can go out and find naked pics of millions of people that offered them to the internet, put them up on my blog and theres not a damn thing you or anyone can do about it.
I’d like to see you put such efforts forth to the sites such as the KOS that actually “create” disgusting images instead of simply transfering something that is subjected to ones perspective.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Now you scumbags are going after Obama’s mother. Nothing else to campaign on but fear and smear. With 11 more days, I’ll keep checking back here to see when you start smearing his grandmother.
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 pm
You astroturfers really crack me up man. I will give Axelrod his due, he can really send out the astroturfers. “I’m so ashamed to be a Republican” blah blah blah. Look get this through your mushy liberal skulls, when you come here with your fake indignation we don’t give a crap because the left has been on a non-stop smear campaign ever since Palin was nominated. You have Andrew Sullivan still claiming that Sarah is not the mother of Palin and intimating that Todd had sex with his daughter. The New York freaking Times is still running stories on Cindy McCain’s ancient history drug abuse and speculating about how long before McCain dies of cancer. You even had some “mainstream” media sources publishing the obviously photoshopped Palin bikini pictures who thought they were real. All we are doing here is telling a story that has already been told by tons and tons of web pages already. Are we to just ignore newsworth items that are already out there? I know that is what the MSM does in regards to anything that might negatively affect Obama, but the blogosphere is different.
Don’t cast stones at us, clean your own house first. Your fake indignation is incredibly irritating. If you want to leave, fine, don’t let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

Its a digrace you all should really be ashamed of yourselves.

Beth Donovan
“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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Obama Mother Nude Photos Reported (PICS)…
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…
October 29th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Those photos are from a porn site called “free vintage porn.com” (The label is on the bottom of one of the photos).
They are not Obama’s mother. How low can you people go, honestly?
October 30th, 2008 at 8:47 am
My g-d this is sick! what is wrong with people! i thought republicans were suppose to be the moral ones? and BTW anyone who has eve dabbled in photoshop can tell they are fake… why do you think the shadow under the chin is so much darker in tone… because it is covering the crop line!
November 1st, 2008 at 7:41 am
You mean like Cindy McCain?
November 2nd, 2008 at 8:31 am
some people should be prosecuted for this kind of comments ,my Lord what is your hate about?
November 3rd, 2008 at 3:57 pm
The callous righteousness and blind ignorance of the conservative base is what taught me to appreciate the liberal side. I don’t think this was a Republican party smear campaign from the top of the ladder, just a despicable propaganda stunt from a lunatic fringe Republican with too much time on one hand and too much lube on the other. The worst way to attack someone is to attack their mother, and this is the most depraved way of doing that.
November 4th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Seriously? Catch up with the Greeks? See, the thing that you forget is that some of us Americans have morals. Apparently less than I thought, but still… God help us all now that he’s been elected.

Yes America is going to go from now to worse just you watch and your food stamps will be worthless. No more blame game on Bush.

Have you heard of “freedom of speech”. “Agree to disagree”????? Are you from a country that does not allow free speech? Chill out.

Why would you publish photos like this? If it were Bush’s mom, or any white president’s mother, you would NOT dare do this. Laura Bush ran over and killed her cheating boyfriend when she was young, did you publish that? NO, of course not.
This woman, this mother is the one who produced, educated and nurtured the current President of the United States of America.
Your Bush and Co destroyed American! Our President Obama, who we elected by a LANDSLIDE, will restore America and our standing in the world. God bless America, the American people and our beloved President and his family!
May 12th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
I 1st heard of his story on CNN Ireport today. I hate to say this, but I think that these photos are that of Obama’s mom. At first I thought it was a hoax. But after looking at this much closer, I say: photos don’t lie.
Actually it does not surprise me. I think she was a loose woman. Its not Obama’s fault. She is what she is.
