Right or wrong I have no idea, all you can do is follow the untold story, the bits and pieces that are revealed over time, quite innocently, unexpectedly. It all starts with Mary and her "I babysat when my daughter, who was born in July 1959, was 18 months old".

That means she babysat in January 1961.

And that would suggest Anna Obama, who was listed in the Seattle Polk, discussed having the child adopted in April 1961 when it was three or four months of age, according to the INS file in which the name of the mother is redacted.

Once you realize that Ann S Obama (student)listed in the Honolulu Polk at the Dunham address was the same woman, and wasn't Stanley Ann Dunham, and that's why there's no physical evidence of Stanley Ann in Hawaii, you might be able to see that it's possible the Kenyan wrote home to his family and told them he had married a white woman named Anna Toot and later, wrote again to tell them they now had a son.

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.

A Sunday Nation team that set out to trace Obama's roots was surprised to find that, unknown to many, Obama has actually been to this village twice. First in 1983, when he had come to mourn his late father, Barack Hussein Obama, who had died in Nairobi in 1982; and again in 1995

Try as one might, it's not possible to turn Anna Toot into Stanley Ann and Madelyn Dunham. Although Ayres gave it his best shot. What you need is the maiden name of the mother of the child Mary babysat.

Zeituni says the clan received a letter in 1961. Three years later she ended up living in Nairobi as a kind of a maid to Ruth, who at one time commented that there were so many of his relatives and children living in the house with them they were sleeping in the passage and she didn't know half their names.

Why wouldn't Zeituni sound convincing? She was convinced that the child the Kenyan wrote home about was the same boy she was taking care of, that he brought with him. And then Auma and Malik also lived with them, plus a couple of children Ruth said were living there being educated at the Kenyan's expense.

Onyango helped care for the president's half brothers and sister while living with Barack Obama Sr. in Kenya.

Well, all that fell through. Malik describes how it was:

‘But we lost it all after the accident in 1971 because he couldn’t work. I was going to one of the best private schools, but I suddenly I had to walk ten miles to get there.

‘There were times when we didn’t even have money for food. I had to scrounge meals from family members. It was tough to see my father’s disintegration. He died at 46, without ever realising objectives. Just by being alive I’ve already achieved something he didn’t.’

What he forgets to say is that they fell on hard times after Ruth separated from the old man. But Malik is a muslim, and he would hardly admit that much of his and his sister's, (and any number of other children at the Nairobi house) good living was due to a woman...

I'm getting a little weary. It's really all a matter of interpretation of numerous pieces of information. One good place to catch up on links and research is the WE THE PEOPLE OF THE US BLOG.
