BOSTON - Barack Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, says Donald Trump disrespected her family by questioning the president's birthplace.
Trump quoted Obama's grandmother when she claimed to have witnessed Barack Obama's birth in Kenya, and Onyango says that is not true.....

Because you give such credibility to Cora Weiss, we should all note that Cora Weiss refutes your claim that BHO Sr. left Kenya in 1955 and your denial that he came to Hawaii in 1959:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/09/books/review/Letters-t-FROMKENYATOA_LETTERS.html?_r=2
“Barack Obama Sr., who greatly admired Mboya, did not come on the first flight, but he was a member of the airlift generation, arriving here in 1959 with the support of two American women teachers.”
I learned that about Seattle. Lots of Norwegians. Lots of Germans, too. And the home of Tugboat Annie!
“I remember escorting him to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, then known as Embakasi airport,” she says.
“He asked me to take care of our only child then, Malik Abongo, who was six years old. I was pregnant with our second child — Rita Auma.”

No use trying to make anything FIT!
That certainly doesn’t look over fifty years old. I remember reading somewhere that nothing was on that property in 1961. Everything was built several years later.
I have politely suggested to you previously, when you find something conclusive that shows when the kenyan entered the US, SHOW ME.
That is a great link. If provides more investigative leads into the people behind BHO Sr.’s arrival in Hawaii from Kenya in 1959:
“During his time in Nairobi in the mid-1950s, Obama watched as his old school friends from Maseno went on to study at university in Uganda and even London. Sarah Obama claims that two American women befriended him and helped him take a correspondence course, which would give him the school certificate he needed to move on.
“One of the women instrumental in Barack’s successful application for a scholarship was Helen Roberts from California, who was living in Nairobi at the time; another was Jane Kiano, the wife of Dr Julius Gikonyo Kiano. Dr Kiano was the first Kenyan to gain a US doctorate (from Stanford University) and he played an important political role in the years running up to Kenyan independence, and also in higher education for Kenyans. Kiano later became closely involved with Mboya in organising the student airlifts to the USA.
“When the President’s father left Nairobi in 1959, Kezia was three months pregnant with her second child Auma, and she came to the airport for a tearful parting. When Barack arrived at the University at M-anoa in the summer of 1959 he was just twenty-three years old; he was the first black African student at the university, and inevitably he became the focus of great curiosity on campus. As he started his classes in mathematics and economics in September, he must have reflected how far he had come from a mud hut in K’ogelo.
“It was not until the following year that Barack met Ann, the eighteen-year-old freshman student who would become the mother of the 44th President of the United States of America. Ann Dunham had only started attending classes at the university in September 1960, and she and Obama enrolled on the same Russian-language class.”
Making sure everyone had seen this:

no rings anywhere on that hand. were there any early photos of her with a ring?
he may have, but WHEN?
...over and over the same garbage, two years working for an arab, for some fellow named Sulemain, on the railways, two women missionaries helped him...and he arrived in Hawaii WITH A MAJOR IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
WHEN DID HE FIT THAT IN?
I've got a much better idea than telling lies about missionarie ladies. In 1955, as shown in the book THE ROCKEFELLERS, co-authoried by David Horowitz, there's a referrence to some 30,000 foreign students, many from Kenya, who were sponsored by THE ROCKEFELLER TRUST to attend educational institutions in the US. And I have already pointed out to you a number of times that the kenyan was not part of the airlift. He arrived in Hawaii in June, the first airlift arranged was not by MBOYA, but by a group that included Jackie Robinson, and it landed at Idlewild in SEPTEMBER.
Honest answer? As I never believed they were married, it never occurred to me to look for a ring.

I have never once claimed BHO Sr. was part of the “airlift” yet you persist again and again making this false claim that I did. He arrived as a lone Kenyan and was immediately written up in the local newspaper(details back in the thread).
Can’t find much about the release date of Black Orpheus - still checking that December 1959 comment. But this much I can tell you, I suspect that chapter in the narrative is nothing but a contrivance to make it appear that Stanley Ann Dunham was enamoured of black men...not just a ‘coloured’ man, but a really really black native african.
And I will ask you again, when did he arrive in the US? SHOW ME.
Then you will reply he came from Kenya.
And I will ask again, WHEN?
Is the whole family made up of illegal aliens?

Yeah none of them born here or legal
and only Obama Sr with a temp student visa
but at least he went back home to Kenya
HINT HINT Barry
follow in Daddys footsteps...
On the contrary, I give her absolutely no credibilty at all, she had to recant the AIRLIFT story. ----
Cora Weiss is the wife of New York Lawyer, Peter Weiss, founder of the Institute for Policy Studies and daughter of Samuel Rubin, a funder of many left-wing organizations. Weiss was a director of the Samuel Rubin Foundation from its inception. She was also instrumental in the funding decision to create the Institute for Policy Studies. She gained notoriety as a leader of the Vietnam War era anti-American coalitions who traveled to Paris and Hanoi for repeated meetings with communist leaders.
Cora Weiss, formerly active with the Emma Lazarus Clubs and Women Strike for Peace, played a leadership role in the CPUSA-controlled anti-Vietnam coalitions New Mobilization Committee, People's Coalition for Peace and Justice which collaborated closely with the WPC. She received considerable media attention for her numerous meetings with Vietnamese Communist officials in Paris and Hanoi and for her controversial role in the Committee of Liaison with Families of Servicemen Detained in North Vietnam COLIFAM and in a project to provide material aid to Hanoi, the Friendshipment/Bach Mai Hospital Fund.
She and her husband, Peter Weiss, president of the IPS board, are officers of the Samuel Rubin Foundation, which provides the major financial support to IPSITNI, and of the Fund for Tomorrow, a smaller foundation which is apparently wholly funded by the Rubin foundation, which supports many activist groups spun-off by IPS including WISE.[5] etc etc...
“And I will ask you again, when did he arrive in the US? SHOW ME.”
The newspaper story posted in comment #988 was written by Shurei Kirozawa and reports on Obama’s arrival in 1959. Kirozawa reports that Obama came as a lone Kenyan with two other foreign students and not part of an airlift. The later airlift is irrelevant.
Kirozawa says of Obama:
“He clerked several years in the capital city of Nairobi to save enough for college education and picked the University of Hawaii when he read in an American magazine about its racial tolerance.”
This reporting of Obama’s three years in Nairobi immediately before leaving for Hawaii is consistent with and thus corroborates numerous other accounts including Kezia’s in the Daily Mail, a time when he fathered two children who are very much in evidence.
Am hunting for an article from way back regarding his acceptance at U of HI. IIRC It said he had applied to thiry and was accepted by one. Have found two articles that say he applied to fifty....still looking for the one that states he was only accepted by one.
Can you check out the archives at Stanford by internet?
In 1959, Obama Sr. received a scholarship in economics through a program organized by nationalist leader Tom Mboya. The program offered Western educational opportunities to outstanding Kenyan students.[21][22][23] (Initial financial supporters of the program included Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, and Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, a literacy advocate who provided most of the financial support for Obama Sr.'s early years in the United States, according to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University. Funds provided the following year by John F. Kennedy's family paid off old debts of the project and subsidized student stipends, thereby indirectly benefiting Obama Sr. and other members of the 1959 group of scholarship holders. During the 2008 presidential campaign, his son misspoke, saying that the Kennedys organized the initial 1959 student airlift, an error subsequently acknowledged by a campaign spokesman.)[21] When Obama Sr. left for America, he left behind his baby son, Roy, and his young wife, Kezia, who was pregnant with their daughter, Auma
