“CONCLUSION: If you want to see the records, make an appointment with CORA WEISS, who has recently been forced to admit the kenyan was NOT connected to the airlift of students. And Tom Mboya had nothing to do with the kenyan’s arrival in the US...because in his own words, he left Kenya in 1955 WHEN MBOYA WAS STUDYING AT OXFORD.”

The newspaper story posted in comment #988 was written by Shurei Kirozawa and reports on Obama’s arrival in 1959. Kirozawa reports that Obama came as a lone Kenyan with two other foreign students and not part of an airlift. The later airlift is irrelevant.

Kirozawa says of Obama:

“He clerked several years in the capital city of Nairobi to save enough for college education and picked the University of Hawaii when he read in an American magazine about its racial tolerance.”

This reporting of Obama’s three years in Nairobi immediately before leaving for Hawaii is consistent with and thus corroborates numerous other accounts including Kezia’s in the Daily Mail, a time when he fathered two children who are very much in evidence.

Obama’s letters to Mboya are consistent with and corroborate Mboya’s help to Obama in coming to America in 1959.

In the story posted in comment # 998, Obama does NOT say in his OWN WORDS that he left Kenya in 1955. The reporter wrote "seven years" without attribution and could have screwed up his background notes any number of ways.

Here is what reporter John Griffen actually wrote:

“Obama, who has been away from Kenya for seven years, said he plans to go home after finishing at Harvard...”

Obama did NOT say he had been away for seven years. This claim has not been corroborated by any other story, especially not by the Massena School story decades later after Barry became famous and was based on the memories of a school principal at a school Obama Sr. left in 1953.

I trust there will be no basis for future postings claiming that Obama said “in his own words” that he had been away from Kenya for seven years or that he said he left Kenya in 1955.

You STILL protest too much.

“...I trust there will be no basis for future postings claiming that Obama said “in his own words” that he had been away from Kenya for seven years or that he said he left Kenya in 1955.”

That’s what he TOLD the reporter. And I will keep saying it until you find a document that conclusively shows WHEN AND WHERE HE ENTERED THE US...or as long as it takes for the cows to come home, as we say in Australia.
