I believe he has known all along that he was not born in Hawaii because in the summer of 1980 he told Race Bannon that he was born in Mombasa, grew up in Indonesia, and was going to be president someday.

Wooooo! I haven't heard that before. Is that documented anywhere? Are we talking about the FR Race Bannon?

Here is the RACE BANNON LINK:

for all the thanks he got for it!

And they laughed at TOM FIFE also...

Yeah. There was a thread on it, and he also called in to Jeff Kuhner’s radio program and spoke about it. It was great. I’ll see if I can find that thread, if Fred doesn’t post it first. (wink to Fred)

Be careful about taking this one to the bank.

A twenty nine year old memory that just happens to exactly fit a strongly desired meme isn't the best thing to bet on.

You might ask yourself: If this did actually happen as Race remembers it, and it was indeed BHO, then BHO spoke very freely about his birthplace in his youth. It becomes somewhat odd that there's no other record of this. BHO’s Marxist outlook and views are well documented. Why no mention of African birth through the late 80’s and early 90’s when he was trying to develop a black identity?
