(Oct. 18) -- Perhaps the president can add this one to his list of myths to bust in December when he appears on the Discovery Channel show "MythBusters": His father was not killed in a car accident in 1982, as was reported, but was murdered.
So goes a family theory investigated by Peter Firstbrook in his history of President Barack Obama's African side of the family, "The Obamas," and dissected by Obama biographer David Remnick in a post today on the New Yorker's website.
Barack Obama Sr. was "a thwarted politician and bureaucrat," outspoken in his criticism of the Kenyan government's acceptance of corruption among its ranks, according to Remnick.
He was also a heavy drinker, nicknamed "Mr. Double-Double" after his usual Scotch orders. On the night of his death he was found inside his car, which had hit a tree.
Firstbrook talked to Charles Oluoch, a cousin of the president, who related the family's suspicions. Obama Sr. had been in a number of accidents before and had survived them all. His body appeared to be fairly unharmed -- no broken bones and only a small amount of blood.
"Although it looked like an accident, our family suspected that there must have been foul play. I am not a medical doctor, but the way we saw Barack lying there, he didn't look like somebody who was involved in an accident," Oluoch said.

It’s Bush’s fault!
I read he was a Communist trouble-maker who was bumped off by his political enemies. I certainly hope the New Yorker isn’t planning to palm him off as some sort of hero, crusading for truth and justice.
Gotta have something to do with his ability/inability to talk without a teleprompter.
Another ‘Sensational’ headline, another diversion.
WHERE ARE THE JOBS?
STOP SPENDING!
Vampires, obviously.
“It’s Bush’s fault!”
ROFLMAO! Yep, he crawled into that time machine at Montauk and went back to off the old drunkard. It is too bad he didn’t go back to before Jr was conceived and prevented that horror from being born in the first place. But then again..... I’m just sayin’
Was he born in Kenya, too?
Didn’t his father take part in the Mao Mao uprising? I think that is the name. They slaughtered their enemy’s.
According to Dinesh D’Souza, Grandpa Obama was imprisoned by the British during the colonial days, when Churchill was Prime Minister, and that is why Obama got rid of the Churchill bust in the oval office. It is now at the British ambassador’s house. I hope it will be restored asap after Jan 20, 2013. B.O. has lots of hangups.
Problem is, he wasn’t murdered EARLY enough!!!
I think Barry should immediately fly home to Kenya and spend the rest of his life looking for his fathers’ killers.
I’ll even spring for an airline ticket.
Author of article should be more specific. Are they talking about Barrack, Sr. or Barrack, Jr.?
Had to get him out of the way.....no birth witnesses.....
I actually met a Democrat who felt that Ted Kennedy was a victim of a set up in Chappaquidic.
Kenya is exactly where Obamao should be, following in the footsteps of his father. He might could have become a great man instead of an Affirmative Action failure.
He was also a heavy drinker
Author of article should be more specific. Are they talking about Barrack, Sr. or Barrack, Jr.?
Internal bleeding wouldn’t show to someone not looking for it. and broken bones aren’t necessary for death. For all we know, he died of a heart attack and hit the tree.
Actually, the Kenyan rebels called themselves Mau Mau. For a good fictional account, read “Something of Value” by Robert Ruark. Not saying it’s all that accurate, but written from a right wing viewpoint, which could still be done and published in the good old ‘50s. Ruark had spent a lot of time hunting in East Africa.
