BOOK EXCERPT

... What Obama found in Mooney was more complex. Part of her appeal for him was certainly the job. Working at the Literacy Center provided both social standing and the opportunity to rise. But Mooney and Obama also spent time together outside the office, enjoying rural drives and attending some of the popular evening dances. And that association brought a different kind of benefit for Obama. Among a certain kind of African man, just keeping company with a white woman provided considerable social status...

So you see, why I might wonder, just what was that missionary woman thinking, she encouraged him to write letters to various US universities seeking a scholarship, she, or the Laubach Literacy Fund, paid for his airfare to Hawaii, she contributed toward his living expenses during the early period in Hawaii, he only had enough funds for one semester, according to himself at an early interview...and all this, while he had a wife who was pregnant and a young child when he left Kenya. Is that how a missionary would behave? Encourage a young man to leave his wife and family...JUST WHO DID SHE ASSUME WAS GOING TO SUPPORT THEM?

ALL ROADS LEAD TO BOSTON?

The kenyan student and his brother Omar, photographed together. They shared accommodation at the Magazine Street Boston address. When might that have been taken? They both look older than they might have been in 1964 when the kenyan student departed from Boston - and Omar also seems more than 19 years old, as he would have been in 1964...when he was attending a private high school in Boston. So it would seem, as Omar never showed up again in the village in Kenya, and the family described him as 'lost' - The photograph dates from the kenyan's visit to the US in 1970-71 and is of the same period as when you see him with zero at the airport in Hawaii.

The result? Omar wasn't lost. They all knew where he was. And when she was old enough, Zeituni also went to Boston. And that's why, when Zeituni was found, they also found Omar.

And in August 1961, Stanley Ann Dunham told Susan Blake she was flying out to Boston on that same day.

ROUND AND ROUND WE GO, AND WE ALWAYS END UP IN BOSTON.
