interesting indeed. makes ya just go “hmmmmm”
She first met her stepson, US President-elect Barack Obama, when he visited Kogelo village in 1988. Keziah says she was "delighted to see him" and that they have since communicated on a number of occasions.
'officially' obama's first visit to Kenya was in 1983.
then this observation: #9
Something not quite right about the dates. Malik was six in 1959 when Obama senior left for Hawaii. Now, 2008, he is 50 and Obama II is 47? Someone who tracks these issues should double check, but barring some mystical event, Obama II should therefore be around 42. How did Barack II gain 5 years on Malik?
I noticed considerable confusion re the dates during previous research. Obama sr's teacher maintains Sr left school at the age of 17 in 1953.
a further article had him married at the age of 18. That brings us to 1954.
If the eldest child was born six years from 1959 when obama sr left for the US, then the 'marriage' date of 1954 may be approximately correct.
Note to Beckwith:
Notice? There are numerous references to obama sr and Kezia's 'marriage' in 1957. Yet once again, the 'married at 18' appears to be correct.
Question: (again) when the teacher said that obama sr went to the US 'to further his education' after leaving the Maseno School:
Did obama sr perhaps go to the MAINLAND US long before he showed up in Hawaii?
