President Obama has claimed his father's education in the United States was financed through the efforts of Kenyan independence leader Tom Mboya and President John F. Kennedy, but newspaper archives indicate Barack Obama Sr. came to Hawaii in 1959 with his own savings.

Previously, WND reported that Barack Obama Sr. was not brought to the U.S. to study in Hawaii in 1959 by any organized airlift of Kenyan students, including those organized by baseball great Jackie Robinson, with the assistance of JFK.

Nor was Obama Sr. on any of the three subsequently chartered airplanes in what became known as the "second airlift" organized by Mboya in 1960 after Joseph P. Kennedy contributed $100,000 to Robinson's effort.

Obama's father spent personal savings

Old news. I believe this was in Jerome Corsi’s book, or perhaps another book that I read about Obama BEFORE he was elected.

It’s just that nobody paid any attention. (’cept me)

Just the standard MO for a Democrat. Kind of like Hillary claiming she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary though he hadn’t reached the summit of Mt. Everest until 1953 and was only 27 at the time Hillary Clinton was born and had done nothing to warrant international acclaim. With Democrats it’s is all about how it sounds not what it is.

...and Hillary's claim that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea’s life. But Chelsea told Talk magazine that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit. Her friend called her, waking her up, and told her to turn on the TV. On television, she saw the second plane hit, disproving Hillary’s claim that “she heard the plane hit. She heard it. She did.”

(thanks again to Wonkette)
