It’s also worth noting that despite the common belief to the contrary, Sarah Obama never named Mombasa as the supposed city of birth. Not even in error.

Here is the first time in the entire McRae conversation that “Mombasa” is mentioned, followed by the translator’s response:

MCRAE: When I come in December. I would like to come by the place, the hospital, where he was born. Could you tell me where he was born? Was he born in Mombasa?

OGOMBE: No, Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America.

I find it interesting that so many people who like to say his grandmother said he was born in Kenya don’t like to mention that was the result of mis-translation and confusion during the conversation. She corrects herself immediately.

She tries to correct McRae several times after that (when he is clearly trying to trap the old woman) and tells him Obama was not born in Kenya

OGOMBE: No, Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America.

Thank you for verifying that Sarah Obama never said Obama wasn't born in Mombasa. The translator OGOMBE did!
