You are right about the credibility.
The Kenyan media had the information to begin with; they went and researched for the article about the residents of the neighborhood, so that is primary sourcing.
Speaking of media, that watermark “courtesy of mark obama n(desandjo)” on the family picture means that someone wanted to use it and got permission from Mark to use it .
That’s interesting too. I wonder who is close enough to him to gain that type of permission? Does Auma’s book have a photo section? She could have been the one.
Speaking of Mark. I still don’t know why people wanted to trash his good name. He has a stellar reputation. Unlike his half-brother, he is known for his integrity. He’s also hated by Obama for it. The idea that people who don’t know Mark and have never bothered to speak to him would embark on a large scale campaign to label him a liar and a fraud is incredible. He deserves better.
Re: family pic, background foliage doesn’t look like Boston.
Also about the older boys picture on Marks book cover, it would have been in a time frame where 0 was either in Hawaii or Indonesia.
And the little boy on left in toddler pic matches the older boy on left, in picture featured on Marks book cover.
Looking at the undarkened picture of toddlers with the right hand boy’s head tilted; the right hand boy’s features match those of the older boy on the right.
And that boy’s features in turn match those of the current Mark.
