Perhaps he got the idea from Michelle Obama?
“Barack saw his mother, who was very young and very single when she had him, and he saw her work hard to complete her education and try to raise he and his sister.” ~ Michelle Obama

“His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was “very young and very single when she had him.” And, Obama added, he has observed his wife’s attempts to reconcile motherhood with her career aspirations.”

Or maybe he got it from Rev. Wright? “”Hillary doesn’t know what it feels like to be raised by a single poor white mother, Barack does!”

Perhaps Brown remembered Obama saying he was raised by a single mother, which he repeated quite often.

“I was raised by a single mother.”

Scott was discussing attacks against the Palins, and Bristol Palin, and brought up that Obama’s mother was young too. The blogs only provided the :15 clip, thus leaving off the context of the discussion. Surprise.
You can see the longer clip here.

Obama, himself, hints that his father and mother’s wedding may not have been properly documented. “How and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I have never quite had the courage to explore. There’s no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it’s not even clear that people back in Kansas were informed.” Obama writes in his memoir.

TPM states (although, does seem to be a bit of a contradiction to Obama’s book):

“Now the factual record on this is clear. Obama’s parents were married February, 1961, and Obama was born in early August of the same year. So his mother was certainly married when he was born.”

This appears to have everything to do with the discussion Brown was having in the video, Obama’s mother was single when she got pregnant, just like Bristol Palin.

The only issue this brings up is the desperation by some to try to turn this into a smear by posting a mere snipit of the conversation.
