According to the article, Malik was 46 in 2004 and Barack was 43.
"While Barack may soon be heading to Washington, Malik, a 46-year..."Malik is 2 or 3 years older than Barack. So my question is"[Malik] first met his 43-year-old half-brother Barack."
Was Barack's father (still) married to Malik's mother when he married Barack's mother?
I don’t know about this, but 3 years is plenty of time to get rid of one wife and get another. Obama’s Dad must have been a real “family man”.
