I have searched the pdf for all instances of “kenya” and found no reference to the alleged pre-birth visit.

If you're referring to "Dreams From My Father," of course there's no reference to Stanley Ann Dunham traveling to Kenya.

Numerous posters have pointed out that this is a brand new “factoid” and the original poster has not responded to repeated queries regarding a source.

Correct, and to be honest, I haven't seen anyone point to any actual sources to support the Kenya birth theory at all.

“of course there’s no reference to Stanley Ann Dunham traveling to Kenya.”

Well, I’m not sure what merits “of course.” Dreams From my Father was published in 1995 right after BHO finished law school and before he entered politics.

I realize BHO expressed aspirations to becoming president in grade school, but do people honestly believe he wrote that book with an eye to establishing his eligibility for president? After all, it’s chock full of not-so-complimentary info about his father, including the fact that he was already married when the alleged marriage to BHO’s mother occurred in 1961, that he abandoned them, that his mother then had yet another failed marriage etc.

Was BHO so prescient and arrogant that even in the aftermath of Jesse Jackson’s failed attempts in 1984 and 1988, he could envision that in 13 short years America would be ready to embrace a black candidate with such a checkered family background? That seems like a big stretch.
