Kenya: Special Report: Sleepy Little Village Where Obama Traces His Own Roots
this is an article from 2004. Here's a quote from the last 4 paragraphs of the article...
According to the family, Obama's father travelled to America to study at the University of Hawaii in 1959. While there, he worked for an oil company and married his second wife, a white woman, named Anna Toot, and their union produced Barack Obama Jr.
Obama's book says Obama Snr left his family in Hawaii after winning a scholarship to study in Harvard when his son was two years old.
The marriage later broke up after Anna's father opposed it, according to Mama Sarah.
"Anna's father was furious about the marriage and threatened to have Obama Snr expelled from the university. Our son sent us letters, pleading that we intervene to save the marriage," remembers Sarah.

Between midnight PDT when you posted this and now, that article also has been scrubbed.
One point of some importance in this early Africa history of Obama Sr. is his location. Apparently he was set up personally in Nairobi before he went to Hawaii. So the story about the early wife not having met Ann might well be true if Sr. took Ann to Kenya to marry her.
Her hospital story about meeting the third wife at that time implies that Sr. was not particularly forthcoming about his multiple wives. So if Sr. had resources in Kenya at the time he married Ann, and at the time Jr. was born, he might well have acted to separate the events from the family base in Northwest Kenya.
And it may well also be that the actor, seeking to avoid committing bigamy in the US and marry Stanley Ann in a forum in which he was not only not committing a crime but also would have be contracting a legal marriage was Sr., not the Dunhams.
Records of the marriage and birth might well have been filed in either Nairobi or Mombasa. The Wayne Madsen report has the birth documents coming from Mombasa; would not be surprising if that is where the marriage documents are filed also--even though the legend places the family at the other end of the country in the tribal region.

Perhaps Obama's mother married under the alias "Anna Toot" (someone she knew she was named after) to hide the fact that she was barely eighteen and pregnant when she married and also lied about her age. It then becomes possible that his mother's name on his original birth certificate is "Anna Toot" and his real name could be Stanley Barry Obama-Toot.
Or even Stanley Toot if his father wasn't there for the birth.
More on “Toot”. Apparently his it is a nickname for his grandmother.

Great, just great.
I one stupid journalist gets Stanley Ann Dunham’s name wrong due to a misunderstanding over a nickname, and within 100 posts of you sharing this, we’ve got freepers talking of a “cover up”, ... oh, and pics of Thomas the tank Engine just for fun.
Do we laugh or cry over this blundering?
