Oh yeah .. I feel confident Abercrombie new Obama Sr. .. but I have big doubts that he actually ever met our current wh resident, inspite of someone's content on Wiki ~~~ There, Abercrombie obtained his bachelor's degree in 1959. He moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, and studied at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa where he obtained his doctorate in 1974. There he attended classes with and befriended current United States President Barack Obama's parents, Ann Dunham and Barack Obama, Sr.[2] As a result, Abercrombie is the only member of Congress to have met Barack Obama when Obama was a child in Hawaii where Obama's parents lived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Abercrombie

15 years for Abercrombie to get his doctorate degree at UH?...hmmm.
I see the Congressman was on the ‘fast track.’

From WIKI:

“...As I said, it is great emotion for me, a great time of nostalgia. I arrived in Hawaii at the same time as President Obama’s father. We met those first days in our matriculation at the University of Hawaii. Of course, I could not possibly conceive at that time that the young man who was to be born out of the union of Ann Dunham and Barak, Sr., would become President of the United States...”
He’s careful NOT to make that claim in the above speech.
