Matriarch Sarah Obama says Barack Obama was born in Kenya (?)

Against my better judgment, I'm linking to this page supposedly containing audio and a transcript of a conversation held with Sarah Onyango Obama, matriarch of the Obama clan. To cut to the chase, see the lower right corner of this BMP file with the transcript:

Kweli Shuhubia: He [the Luo translator] is asking her, he wants to know something was ah she present when he [Barack Obama] was born?

Translator: Yes. She says, "Yes she was! She was present when Obama was born."

Ron McRae: Okay.

If the red preface to the post linked above isn't enough of a warning sign, note that McRae is a street preacher with the self-assumed title of a bishop and overseer of the Anabaptists Churches in North America. And, due to the political situation there, Kweli Shuhubia isn't his real name. And, well, expect many others to come up with many other ways to mock the tape.

It might be a real tape, and she might be telling the truth and not be confusing BHO with some other relative. But, unless she flies to the U.S. and appears on TV saying the same thing it's probably not going to make that much of a difference.

To go with the red text at the post, let me add my own:

DO NOT WASTE TIME ON THIS. DO SOMETHING EFFECTIVE. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO IS TO SEND THIS LIST (OR YOUR VARIANT) TO ALL THE UNDECIDEDS YOU CAN FIND, AND TELL THEM TO SEND IT TO ALL THEIR FRIENDS.
