I don’t know what to make about the airport reconstruction dilemma. But as to Malik - I linked an article earlier where his mother (Kezia) says he was born in March, 1958.
Thanks! Could you possibly link it again?
The old airport link that jellybean found show that the pictures of Stanley Ann, Obama Sr. and the ‘mystery boy’ were taken in the old airport. That site also had a timeline for construction showing that the photos had to have been taken in the early 60s.
The map Political Junkie found of the old airport show the pictures were taken in departure.
So if those pictures were taken circa ‘61-’62, that boy can’t be Obama Jr. He was not born yet.
The pictures at the airport, being dated circa ‘61-’62, strongly implies that Stanley Ann and Obama Sr. are leaving for someplace. I subscribe to te Kenya theory and Andy Martin’s book coming out this week should confirm that.
The site USAfricaonline that had Obama’s family interviewed a few months ago when they claimed Obama was Kenyan born has had interviews pulled and modified since they have been posted online. Therefore articles claiming something like Kezia’s birthday of Malik cannot be accepted as truth.
I say it looks like Malik, but even if it isn’t, I don’t think it is unusual to assume it is one of Obama Sr’s family members. Maybe even a nephew. But if Stanley Ann was going to Kenya for extended stay, it would not be unusual for Obama Sr. to send for help since she was in her first trimester.
