Although no evidence has surfaced placing Barack Obama's mother in Kenya at the time of the president's birth, a taped telephone conversation in which his Kenyan step-grandmother purportedly claims he was born in the coastal city of Mombasa has become an Internet hit since its submission as evidence in a lawsuit challenging the president's eligibility.
Philip J. Berg, a former Pennsylvania deputy attorney general, included a transcript of the tape and sworn affidavits in a filing with the U.S. Supreme Court after lower courts dismissed as frivolous his Aug. 21, 2008, complaint alleging Obama was born in Mombasa.
The Oct. 16, 2008, telephone "interview" was conducted by American Christian minister Ron McRae, who describes himself in his affidavit as an overseer of the Anabaptist Churches in North America and a "Presiding Elder on the African Presbytery."
McRae, who called from Detroit, says Sarah Obama was in a public setting with several hundred people listening to the telephone call on a speakerphone. The interpreter was Vitalis Akech Ogombe, the community chairman of Sarah Obama's village of Nyang'oma Kogelo in Western Kenya, 30 miles west of the Lake Victoria-city of Kisumu.

In 1961 Sarah was living in Jericho which is a suburb of Nairobi. Sr considered her house his home. He had prepared to take the exam from the American Embassy that was to qualify him for scholarship to go to U of HI, with two missionary teachers.
Yes, His biological mother had left his father by then.
Who gave the interview that said they called SADO “Toot Annie”? That is where the “toot” came from that BO later called his grandmother.
Was it his aunt? Or a half sister?
Can anyone show me a picture of his grandparents and his kids together? Or even with his lovely wife? Anyone, anyone?
His brother (maybe) is a drug addict and in the last article I read about him, he said he is happy with his life.
It would have been nice if he had kept his word to the people who run the high school in his father’s(maybe) village which is named after him if he had personnally given or raised some money to help them out like he said he would.
As I remember, she initially said that Obama Jr. was born in Kenya but immediately change her tune in the next breath saying Obama was born in Hawaii. Whether this was because Obama’s paternal grandmother remembering her instruction given to her to say that, or another person in the room, the interpreter, reminding her to, or like you say she was referring to Sr.

There’s others.
That is, in 1961, did Grandma Dunham LIE on Obama's Hawaii long form birth certificate by signing her name in the WITNESS space, when, in reality, she NEVER "witnessed" Obama's non-hospital birth?
1. Could the main reason that Obama is spending $500,000 to $1,000,000, and counting, to have high-priced lawyers fight to keep Obama's long form birth certificate and Obama's Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard college records out of the courts and out of the dirty hands of birthers be this: Grandma Dunham's signature is in the space for "witness"?
2. 1961 Hawaii peculiar birth certificate rules: Remember, way back in 1961, Hawaii allowed parents to merely mail in a child's birth certificate if the child was NOT born in a hospital. The doctor and midwife spaces could be left empty if a doctor or midwife was not present at the birth.
3. However, as I understand it, someone had to sign as a WITNESS to the home birth.
4. My theory is this: Obama was NOT born in a Hawaii hospital, and so one reason he is fighting so hard to keep his long form birth certificate from being displayed in court for everyone to see is that there is no hospital name on his 1961 Hawaii long form birth certificate.
5. But if Obama was NOT born in a hospital and NOT under the care of a doctor or midwife, then who was the WITNESS who signed the birth certificate stating that he/she was a witness to Obama's birth before the birth certificate was mailed to the Hawaii vital statistics department?
6. There had to be a WITNESS signature. How about Grandma Dunham being that WITNESS?
7. Did Grandma Dunham sign it?
8. How about this theory: The main reason that Obama does not want us to see his 1961 Hawaii long form birth certificate is that Grandma Dunham signed it, that is, she LIED that she was a WITNESS to Obama's birth, when, in reality, Grandma Dunham was not at Obama's birth at all.
9. So, I say this: Obama must stand up and be a man by allowing Hawaii to release his 1961 birth certificate so that we can find out that a doctor signed or did not sign the birth certificate as the WITNESS to Obama's birth.
10. However, if we find out that a doctor did not sign Obama's birth certificate, then, sadly, we may find out that it was Grandma Dunham who LIED and signed the birth certificate as a WITNESS to Obama's birth.
This women who is always referred to as Obama's grandmother is no blood relation to him. She is Obama's grandfather's third wife,Sarah Onyango Obama. The mother of Barack Obama Senior was his second wife, Habiba Akumu Obama. She ultimately left her husband and (3) children. Third wife Sarah was born in 1922 and Barack Sr. in 1936. That would mean that she was fourteen at the time of that birth.

awk! memo to self: always dress as tho 300 million people are going to be checking the picture out in 5 years....
Your comments strengthen my opinion that Obama was born in Kenya and that his grandparents could have mailed in the birth certificate to Hawaii. BTW, I’ve read that Obama has spent over $1.4 million in legal fees.

This is the first time I have ever seen this photograph. Thank you for sharing with me. I stand corrected.
No, she was the FIRST WIFE of Obama grandfather, witnessing the birth of second wife’s baby, Barack Senior.
She is his step-grandmother.
Read slowly, she, Sarah, is not BHO Senior's mother, but rather another wife of BHO Senior's father. They were Muslims, or at least BHO's Kenyan grandfather was, and could have more than one wife at a time.
So it's possible she would be present at the birth of BHO Sr, but not "giving birth" to him.
But that is not what the WND translations of the interview say. They say she insists that she was present, in Momabasa, when BHO Jr. was born.
No, he said WE are our brother's keeper. It's our money, not so much his, that he wants to spend like a drunken sailor. Well not quite, the way he is spending and planning to spend would make a drunken sailor take the pledge.
Not according the article. Other people present said that BHO Jr was born in Hawaii, or the United States, but not Grannie Sarah. She stuck to her guns. I think I actually kind of like her. Of course she's no blood relation to BHO, which is a big point in her favor.
She wasn’t Barack Senior’s mother, but another of his father’s wives.
But why ascribe such a confusion to her?
