Sarah Obama in the full interview with McRae did NOT say that Obama was born in Kenya. that is a birther myth. In relaying the story that Sarah Obama claimed that Obama was born in Kenya, you are the victim and/or purveyor of a case of bad translation and an over eager bishop McRae, who in the middle of an interview thought she said that, but then got corrected.

“During the interview, which was conducted through a translator by a street preacher named Ron McRae, Sarah Obama does in fact say she was present. But it’s clear that there was a mistranslation, because as soon as McRae very excitedly starts to try to get additional details, the people on the other end of the line realize what’s happened and say, over and over again, that Obama was born in the U.S. “
