As for the matter of fact, I don't know where Obama was born.

You may have just disqualified yourself for a Bayesian...

However, it is interesting that until he went into politics, Obama himself claimed to be born in Kenya.

The link you gave doesn't say "Obama himself claimed to be born in Kenya", it says that Obama's literary agent said Obama was born in Kenya. In fact the very link you gave even offers a further link from an earlier 1990 interview that says clearly "He was born in Hawaii"

So, I'm downvoting this, as even a cursory examination of the links you gave indicate your statement to be inaccurate and misleading.
