How about the Kenyan Government that sent him there in the first place?

That's an unintentionally interesting angle. Obama, Sr. was present in the United States at the behest of the Kenyan government. Might the whole natural born debate be mooted by his legally recognized son being plainly excluded on the basis of Constitutional language dealing with children of foreign diplomats, etcetera?

I assume Obama, Sr. had his school expenses paid by the Kenyan government. It's logical to assume that he received a stipend of some sort as well.

Barack Obama Senior traveled to Hawaii solo and not as a part of any other group, so evidently Kenya could pay for such a solo trip or any other trips to and from Hawaii and Kenya.

Official documents catch Barack Obama in another apparent misrepresentation of his life story, this time challenging a claim made during his campaign that his father was part of a JFK-era airlift to bring Kenyan students to the U.S. to study in American universities.

WND research indicates Barack Obama Sr. was not brought to Hawaii in 1959 by any airlift of Kenyan students organized by baseball great Jackie Robinson, John F. Kennedy or the African-American Students Foundation, the AASF.

Nor was Barack Obama Sr. on any of the three subsequently chartered airplanes in what became known as the “second airlift” organized by Kenyan Luo politician Tom Mboya in 1960 after the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation contributed $100,000 to AASF.

Moreover, after a thorough search of the Jackie Robinson papers at the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, WND can find no mention of Barack Obama Sr. in the files on deposit, either as an applicant or candidate for an airlift from Kenya to study in the U.S.

The manifest of the 81 students actually flown from Kenya Sept. 9, 1959, in a plane chartered by Jackie Robinson in conjunction with the AASF does not contain Barack Obama Sr.’s name. Robinson was assisted by singer Harry Belafonte and actor Sidney Poitier.
