It was a very tenacious job of research that the AP did in uncovering the story of Obama's grandfather, who was a 26 year old supply sergeant in the U.S. Air Force on D-Day:
"The AP pieced together Dunham's war years from other records at the Air Force Historical Research Agency at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and the St. Louis center, and with help from historian David Spires at the University of Colorado. The richest details, however, come from Ralph Dunham and the private papers of Maloof, who died in 2005. Maloof's granddaughter, Tamara Maloof Ryman in Houston, searched through page after page to pry out details about Dunham for the AP".
Don't know if you saw it, but all in all, it's an interesting personal picture on another brave soldier who served his country honorably. It's especially neat how they were able to complete this just before June 6th of this year, assembling all kinds of interesting tidbits on Stanley Dunham, or "Gramps" as he was called by the young socialist-activist. Obama is expected to make the trip to Normandy for the 65th anniversary, and this little golden chunk of PR was just another very important image that Obama's personal publicity firm, the AP, was more than happy to provide.
Do you think that they could put even one-tenth of the effort into finding Obama's real birth record? That would be interesting too.

Has the US ever had such a pathetic collection of msm folks...?
Perhaps, but this is truly pathetic.
