She must have liked that Indonesian food.

...A bingo lover who follows the US election on Fox News and al-Jazeera, Mrs Obama was just 19 when her husband left her in 1959 to study in Honolulu, where he was to meet Mr Obama's mother Ann Dunham, then 17, in a Russian class at the University of Hawaii.
"My first born was two and the second one was in my belly," she said. "He told me had an American scholarship and that he would come back." When he did return in 1965 he brought with him a third wife, a white American called Ruth...
Her father had three wives so Mrs Obama never resented her husband's polygamy, she said. "He was a good man. When he wanted to marry Ann he wrote back to ask us. In Kenya, a man can have several wives so I agreed with it. Later, when I met Ann she was like a sister to me...
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Then why did she include that tidbit with the fact of the letter asking permission to marry Ann. Why did she not include it with her memory fo the weding?
When Obama’s Kenyan grandmother said he was born in Kenya, I wonder if she was confused, given how many wives Obama’s dad had and the fact that more than one of them was white. Did this Ruth person have a baby in Kenya? Maybe that’s what she was thinking of.
Unfortunately, stupider.
A very interesting question. Where is that letter?
What polygamy?
Half-sister Auma disputes the notion that her Harvard-educated father was polygamist.

You can’t believe a word from any of these people.
In Jakarta, Obama was known as the “boy who runs like a duck.”
With a transvestite nanny and sharing his room with a “houseboy,” it’s no wonder!

LOL!
Another interesting tidbit: When he left Kezia to go to the U.S., Barack, Sr. ask Kezia’s consent to marry Barack, Jr.’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. She granted that consent. When Dunham and Obama divorced and he returned to Kenya, he went home to Kezia. Kezia says that the President reminds her of his father – saying the two share many characteristics.
If this account is true, Barack Sr was in Kenya asking permission before he went back to Hawaii to marry Stanley Ann. Do you know what this means? It tells me that Barack Sr was indeed in Kenya asking for permission to take a second wife. Now, I question whether Stanley Ann was there with him at this time. Kezia does not say that Stanley Ann was with him and she does not say she was not.
So it would seem that Barry really IS a BASTARD!
huh... imagine that.
Here's what I don't get, Sr. goes from being a goatherder in 1959 to attending the University of Hawaii and on to Harvard. How did that happen? Did he have schooling in Kenya before going to Hawaii? How does a lowly goatherder get accepted to a US university without educational credentials?
Patlin, have you seen this thread? It has very interesting info not seen on other threads. Really makes me doubt the entire parentage as told in Dreams.

An excellent question.
Get this, according to Kezia, Sr. would send her pictures of Ann and Jr. while Kezia's in Kenya awaiting Sr.'s return. However, Ruth the 3rd wife (an American school teacher) was a surprise to Kezia. Though, he continued seeing Kezia throughout all of this. BO has an older 1/2 bro from Sr. and Kezia's union as well as 2 younger 1/2 brothers (also from Sr. and Kezia.) The younger ones were born in 1968 and 1970. In addition, there are 2 1/2 brothers from Sr. and Ruth. It's complicated.

However, I found this online. It is exerpts from the book, The Obamas, The Untold Story of an African Family. There should be some interesting stuff in there. I am not sure how sanitized this account is, but there is always something there that leaves clues about the big picture.
