And how in the world would they know he was born there?
These Kenyan political figures (post # 88) would likely be able to talk with Obama Sr.'s family and/or friends, who might well remember Obama Jr.'s birth if it occurred there. It so happens that the Kenyan Ambassador to the US stated on US radio that he knew the precise location of Obama's birth in Kenya and suggested it may be turned into a national historic site there. In addition to word of mouth, they might also have access to Kenyan hospital records, if he was born in a hospital. In fact, several years ago, an image of a (purported) birth certificate from a Kenyan hospital was posted here on FR. It sparked quite a debate as to whether or not the document was authentic.
In addition to this, another FReeper posted that while serving in the Marines in the late 1970s, he met the teenage Barry Obama by chance in Hawaii and struck up a conversation with him, during which the Marine said that he had spent time on duty in Mombasa, Kenya. Obama then replied that he (Obama) was born in Mombasa. (No reason for the ex-Marine FReeper to make the story up out of thin air.)
His own grandmother said she attended when he was born there.
I don’t know what to make of that, but it is interesting.
