Cross Word

Generic Crossword Puzzle

Today's New York Times Crossword Puzzle has for a clue to #2 Down: "U.S. President whose mother's first name was Stanley."  The surprising (to me) answer was "Obama."  I think that this might explain why Obama's mother seemed to have been so dyspeptic (see: Stanley Ann Dunham).

    Stanley is a popular Polish first name. Which means Obama must be Polish.

  2. Upon rereading the link about Obama's mother, I think she could best be discribed as a rolling stone ... Yes?
