Jim "Race Bannon" Bancroft is a former United States Marine and a highly
respected member of the Free-Republic online-community where he goes by the
name "Race Bannon."
In early August of 1980, Bancroft was in Honolulu and had a chance meeting
with Barack Obama. Bancroft even remembers where -- in the vicinity of
Kalakaua Blvd./Ave.
*(Note from Eowyn: In August 1980, Obama would be home in Honolulu, on his
summer break after his first year as an undergraduate at Occidental
College. Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya.)*

*.
As recounted by Bancroft:
*He [Obama] also told me something that I never forgot, for it caused me to
do some other things in an effort to be nice to him and possibly a favor.
We spoke of where I had been and the world as I saw it. I told him I had
been to Africa, Mombasa specifically, and he said to me abruptly, "I was
born there." *
*I told him he is not eligible to be president if that was true, but I
remembered he said his mom was an American, so, maybe it was okay. *
*But it was what I did after, that makes this a true memory: I went back to
the barracks and told others of this guy and suggested we all grab our
photo albums and visit him again and show him pictures of Mombasa so he
could see where he was from.*
*No one wanted to go, and at that time, my camera had failed me weeks
before we hit Mombasa and it was late August or early September until I had
borrowed someone else's pictures to develop myself so I had copies of where
I was. But I never forgot meeting that man for those reasons. I was going
to do him a favor and show him his home country of birth. And I never went
back for some reason, most likely I forgot to or just felt that a one time
chance encounter would be meaningless to both of us and didn't mean we were
friends.*
Bancroft then closes his testimonial with the following observation:
*In the light of what is called "The Birther" movement, these memories are
still foremost in my mind concerning this. While I cannot swear it was
Barack Obama, all the details I do remember of that chance encounter fit
the profile of the man who some people claim is born in Kenya and others
claim he was born in Hawaii. The man I met was about 18, thin, mulatto
[mixed race], told me he was born in Mombasa, raised overseas, was living
in Hawaii and hadn't yet been to many places in the world outside of those
places, mostly, hadn't been to the mainland of America for any long time
period if at all. And he openly told me he wanted to be President.*
*And I remember that face, the face of a young man who sat on a table to my
right front, his hands resting on the edge of the table, him leaning
forward, his smile, all teeth. It was Barack Obama. I don't know if I'd bet
my life on it, but I am willing to tell people openly at the risk of my
ridicule. I was there, and saw him, spoke to him, and he openly told me he
was born in Mombasa, Kenya, not Hawaii .*
