"Barack Obama with his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, in Africa in 2004. Courtesy of the Obama family" - Chicgo Suntimes, published 8/16/06.

So, how old was Barry O in this picture with his paternal grandmother? I don't think it could possibly have been just four years ago.

The point is the caption for the first photo referencing the African Granny Dunham, not the high school photo. Not implying anything, just found it amusing how little the Chicago Suntimes knows about That One and his family.

So, how old was Barry O in this picture with his paternal grandmother? I don't think it could possibly have been just four years ago.

According to this rather questionable pro-Obama timeline, he was 26 and it was 1988. Probably correct, give or take a year or three. Although there are reports of a 1981 visit as well. (If BHO was born in August of '61, as his posted "Certification of Live Birth" says, he would have turned 27 in August of '88)

This is a photo from his 2006 visit to "The Old Country".
