I take Miram Goderich’s statement at face value.
From that I speculate she confused Barack Obama’s name with Barack Obama II’s name.
I don’t know who you’re talking about. I’m guessing the author of the bio.
I also guess Obama wouldn’t write his own bio to submit to such material, so the author had to rely on other sources? Unusual, to say the least.
If confusion of BHO and BHO II was the issue, then BHO II would have been described as a former Kenyan finance minister, since Sr. was mentioned in the bio as such.
