YOU STILL PROTEST TOO MUCH. And if you go back to the Maseno school article I posted, you will find that the teacher was NOT relying on a decades old memory...he gave the details to the interviewer FROM THE RECORD!
How could Maseno school, which Obama Sr. left in 1953, have a RECORD of Obama Sr. leaving Kenya in 1955???
Obama Sr. is assumed (not quoted) as saying two contradictory things to two different reporters. Why choose the “seven year” out of Kenya account that is uncorroborated over the “arrived from Kenya” in 1959 which extensively corroborated by Kezia and two kids?
Here is what reporter John Griffen actually wrote:
“Obama, who has been away from Kenya for seven years, said he plans to go home after finishing at Harvard...”
...compared to what reporter Kirozawa says of Obama:
“He clerked several years in the capital city of Nairobi to save enough for college education and picked the University of Hawaii when he read in an American magazine about its racial tolerance.”
Unlike the 1962 Griffin reporting, the 1959 Kirozawa reporting is contemporaneous to Obama's arrival in Kenya and cannot be accused of being planted by Obama operatives or being part of a concocted "Dreams" narrative. Here is a great investigative opportunity for somebody:
Identify the 1959 (or maybe 1958) American magazine which changed history by rhapsodizing about Hawaii's racial tolerance! That could also corroborate Obama Sr.’s story.
