To add to this concept of a ship ride to Kenya, here's this from Michael Patrick Leahy book, “What Does Barack Obama Believe?” when he interviewed Blake in August 2008: "If Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, there is no indication that Barack Obama Senior was present at the birth of his third child. Stanley Ann's high school classmate Susan Blake had the impression that he was not there, and may not even have been on the island of Hawaii at the time..."
Methinks it was STANLEY ANN DUNHAM who was NOT in Hawaii at the time...
Also, accounts indicate that Obama SR's family wasn't happy upon learning about Ann. They were said to be upset, in addition to other reasons, that he was not honoring the dowry of 14 cows given to Keiza's family when he married her in January 1957.
Obama Sr was born in 1936, IIRC. He left school in 1953 when he was 17. At 18 he was married to Kezia. That would make it 1954. They had a son. Kezia was again pregnant we are told, when Obama Sr left Kenya.
Dowry of 14 cows in 1957 sounds like whoever wrote this thinks we are idiots who will swallow anything.
This is where Obama Sr went to school:
The students were taught sciences, art and technical subjects, including carpentry and tailoring. Otula says Obama Sr went straight to the US from Maseno, to start his academic tour. He later married an American woman, the mother of Senator Obama.
What? No one told him about the tribal marriage, the 14 cows...?
Something tells me this thread is destined for thousands of posts, eventually. And we sure need it, too.
