2 minutes and 47 seconds into the video, one of barak obama’s cousins, admits that barak is originally from kenya. You have to listen closely to her because her accent is slightly difficult to understand. She says “muslim kenyans would be so uplifted because he is originally form Kenya.” They were talking about his presidency when she made that comment.

thanks...that might have been the origin of the original contention that obama was born in Kenya.

Yes, she did say he is “originally from Kenya.” Americans would usually take her statement to mean that he was born in Kenya. But could it be that she was using the phrase in a more figurative manner, namely that his ancestral roots are in Kenya? Without any familiarity with the native culture and use of language there, I really can’t be sure.
