Embassy: Obama not born in Kenya Office claims ambassador was speaking about president-elect's father in radio interview November 25, 2008 By Chelsea Schilling © 2008 WorldNetDaily worldnetdaily.com Ambassador Peter Ogego A radio interview with Kenyan Ambassador Peter N.R.O. Ogego has been widely publicized since the ambassador called President-elect Barack Obama's Kenyan birthplace a "well-known" attraction – but the embassy is now telling WND the hosts misunderstood his comments. On Nov. 6, only two days after the election, Detroit radio talk-show hosts Mike Clark and Marc Fellhauer on WRIF's "Mike In The Morning" claimed to be "calling Kenya" but actually called the Embassy of Kenya in Washington, D.C., to speak with Ambassador Ogego. The radio hosts were surprised when their light-hearted interview with Ogego reignited suspicions that Obama may have been born in Kenya. An assistant to the ambassador, referring to herself only as "Trudy," confirmed today that Ogego had indeed participated in the radio interview. But she said the show made leading statements and took the following comments out of context. Clark: "We want to congratulate you on Barack Obama, our new president, and you must be very proud." Ogego: "We are. We are. We are also proud of the U.S. for having made history as well." Fellhauer: "One more quick question, President-elect Obama's birthplace over in Kenya, is that going to be a national spot to go visit, where he was born?" Ogego: "It's already an attraction. His paternal grandmother is still alive." Fellhauer: "His birthplace, they'll put up a marker there?" Ogego: "It would depend on the government. It's already well known." Ogego's assistant insisted he was speaking about Barack Obama Sr., and not President-elect Obama. WND asked, "Is Obama's birthplace in Kenya?" The woman replied firmly, "No." More>>.
