1983, that's the year that the flight records show Stanley Ann Dunham departing for parts unknown from Hawaii. That's when the mysterious 'David' would have been 16 years old, but he never got a mention in 'Dreams' - and he didn't have that 'motor-cycle accident until 1984 according to his 'brother' Malik:

If they didn't insist otherwise, one could imagine he was born in Hawaii and his mother was a little polynesian...
psst...I thought he was 'killed' in 1987?

A Sunday Nation team that set out to trace Obama’s roots was surprised to find that, unknown to many, Obama has actually been to this village twice. First in 1983, when he had come to mourn his late father, Barack Hussein Obama, who had died in Nairobi in 1982; and again in 1995 when he brought home his young bride to show her his roots.

There’s only so much you can discern from a photo, Fred. Remember the one of Purentes recovering in the hospital room? You said he was a dead woman, with his jaw tied shut to keep it from falling open (in death). If that doesn’t illustrate the limitations of studying an online photo and divining its ‘real’ subject matter, nothing does.

I wrote - but he never got a mention in 'Dreams'
What I meant was, as a living person. He was only mentioned in the context that he had already 'died'. In 1984. According to Malik on his website, and in 1987 in various other sources.
But if zero went to Kenya in 1983 as has been reported a number of times, this 'David' would/should still have been alive.
