My guess is they concocted the lie to give his bio a bit more flavor...then it came back to light when he ran for President.
Not the first time someone lied about their past, but it does show Obama, like most politicians are full of shit.
A bizarre lie since the public was being told in interview after interview that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. I find it amusing that Birthers have to consol themselves with the idea that everyone is lying to them- and ignore the fact that millions of readers already knew that Barack Obama II was born in Hawaii- and that his father- Barack Obama I.- was born in Kenya
