And what of the African article that says
DOB was July 18
Parents: Anne Toots & BHO,Sr.
I think “Toots” was the name Obama’s Hawaiian grandmother went by, if that’s relevant at all.
According to the family, Obama's father travelled to America to study at the University of Hawaii in 1959. While there, he worked for an oil company and married his second wife, a white woman, named Anna Toot, and their union produced Barack Obama Jr.
Obama's book says Obama Snr left his family in Hawaii after winning a scholarship to study in Harvard when his son was two years old.
The marriage later broke up after Anna's father opposed it, according to Mama Sarah.
"Anna's father was furious about the marriage and threatened to have Obama Snr expelled from the university. Our son sent us letters, pleading that we intervene to save the marriage," remembers Sarah.
That's possible I suppose, but it sounds more like the kind of Romeo and Juliet story that the Kenyan family wanted to be true.
