This brings to mind an old riddle:
A father and his son were driving to a ball game when their car stalled on the railroad tracks. In the distance a train whistle blew a warning. Frantically, the father tried to start the engine, but in his panic, he couldn’t turn the key, and the car was hit by the onrushing train. An ambulance sped to the scene and picked them up. On the way to the hospital, the father died. The son was still alive but his condition was very serious, and he needed immediate surgery. The moment they arrived at the hospital, he was wheeled into an emergency operating room, and the surgeon came in, expecting a routine case. However, on seeing the boy, the surgeon blanched and muttered, “I can’t operate on this boy — he’s my son.”

What do you make of this grim riddle? How could it be? Was the surgeon lying or mistaken? No. Did the dead father’s soul somehow get reincarnated in the surgeon’s body? No. Was the surgeon the boy’s true father and the dead man the boy’s adopted father? No. What, then, is the explanation? Think it through until you have figured it out on your own — I insist! You’ll know when you’ve got it, don’t worry.

It's perfectly possible for a son to have been born in Kenya to Barack Obama Sr who was not Ann Dunham's son. Births out of wedlock are as common among Africans as they are stateside, especially to a member of the local aristocracy like Barack Obama Sr. Polygamy is rampant there and that's just the semi-official wives I'm referring to. Casual hookups are a dime-a-dozen, and in some cases, the stork comes calling 9 months later.
