The official story claims Dunham and Obama, Sr. were married Feb. 2, 1961. The pair separated two years later and they divorced in 1964. Obama's father returned to Kenya and saw his son only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982.
In actuality, it isn't clear Obama's parents were married, since official records have never been produced showing a legal ceremony took place.
No wedding certificate or photograph of a ceremony for Dunham and Obama Sr. has ever been found or published.
In his book "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage," former Time magazine contributing editor Christopher Andersen elaborates: "There were certainly no witnesses (to the alleged civil marriage ceremony) – no family members were present, and none of their friends at the university had the slightest inkling that they were even engaged."
Andersen further quoted Rep. Neil Abercrombie, Democrat-Hawaii, a self-described friend (never verified) of Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham in 1961, as saying that "nobody" was invited to the wedding ceremony
Obama himself, on page 22 of his autobiography "Dreams from My Father," wrote of his parents' wedding:
"In fact, how and when the marriage occurred remains a bit murky, a bill of particulars that I've never quite had the courage to explore. There's no record of a real wedding, a cake, a ring, a giving away of the bride. No families were in attendance; it's not even clear that people back in Kansas were fully informed. Just a small civil ceremony, a justice of the peace. The whole thing seems so fragile in retrospect, so haphazard."
Obama's birth story is further complicated by the fact that when Barack Obama Sr. arrived in Hawaii at 23 years old in September 1959, he already had been married, since age 18, to a Kenyan woman named Kezia Aoko, who was allegedly pregnant with Obama Sr.'s first child when he abandoned (not divorced) her in Africa in 1957.
Obama Sr. ultimately had four children with Aoko. (Not just one, but four (4) children with Aoko, the abandoned (?) wife.)
WND staff writer Jerome Corsi concluded there is no evidence to suggest Obama Sr. was divorced from Aoko either in Kenya before he left for Hawaii or in Hawaii prior to the alleged marriage with Dunham.
obama sr was born in 1936, he left school in 1953 when he was seventeen. His teacher said that he left for the US to further his education as soon as he finished school.
Kezia says they a son who was six years of age and she was pregnant again when obama sr left Kenya. She also says they married in 1957.
There are number of 'missing years' in that story.
