How in the world did he go straight from Maseno in 1953 to the US in 1959? Or is it just saying that he had no other education in the 6 year interval?
Excellent question, I have been asking that of myself. He was say, 17 or 18 when he left Maseno school. I have read (cannot find the link at present) where obama sr said that he worked and saved money for his education...
Then, on the other hand, he supposedly married and had a child. OK. So he was approx 18, he worked and saved money, he married...
Look at the educational subjects the teacher reads from the card. Would that provide him with enough background to go to a University?
To my mind, it doesn’t add up.
Remember, Oginga Odinga was a teacher at that same school. He sent his sons out of the country to be educated, one to East Germany and the other to the USSR.
So it’s not beyond the realm of impossible that the teacher was right. Obama sr may have gone to the US for his education when he left Maseno in 1953.
It’s possible because he was NOT on the FIRST airlift, which arrived in the US several months AFTER Obama sr arrived in Hawaii.
