I think it's quite obvious that the main purpose of Barack Sr.'s obtaining that passport at that time was to come to Hawaii as a student. And knowing of his lifestyle once he arrived on American soil, it's a safe bet to assume that he didn't want any of his new friends in the US to know about his family in Kenya. So he conveniently neglected them on his passport. That's the simplest explanation.
Sounds quite possible.
Possible he lied about age
Is the doc with the “1936” birthdate date- stamped later than the one with the “1934”.
I.e. does it show he wanted to be “younger” to stay here longer?
Woah,
the 1962 doc has 1934 for the birth year.
Two years later....
the 1964 doc has 1936 filled in for the birth year!
Yup, lied to buy himself more time!
Now why would that be included in 'Dreams' unless is was common knowledge and had to be dealt with? When Auma speaks again, she explains that the outburst was due to 'granny' Sarah's jealousy.
There was no reason for Sarah to be jealous. She's the mother of Yusuf, one of the surviving sons of Onyango, and it's Yusuf who is the Clan Elder.
I think you right. The guy was a scoundrel.
The apple didn't fall too far from the tree either.
And he fudged dates of birth when that would help him get out of a jam.
Plus didn’t say anything about his wife and kid because that would get him in hot water.
Those INA docs have a lot of info on it, see Fred’s post #10848 for the link.
The docs fred nerks posted are the pages 14 and 34.
See my post #10917 about page 21 . Also on that page they talk about multiple marriages.
Pages 35 and 36 are where they talk about his marrying Ann dunham.
Yup, 0 SR was a scoundrel...
