You're explanation is "iffy" but possible. I'm not sure it fits with the available documentation though.

That article is speculative with no claimed evidence and includes one big error which is that SADO needn't have been “very pregnant” at the times she could have flown to Kenya. The writer admits that the last evidence of SADO in HI is the claimed marriage on Feb 2, 1961 (supported elsewhere by the marriage index and divorce attestation of a marriage).

On that date SADO wouldn't even have been “showing” a pregnancy and could have easily traveled...as she could have until at least the sixth month which was about May 1961 or even beyond.

Also the writer's attempt to dispute SADO being in Kenya depends solely on his attempt to show that BHO Sr. himself didn't go to Kenya. My speculation does not depend on Sr. going to Kenya, but only SADO being packed off to Kenya to get “the problem” out of sight to avoid damage to Seniors career prospects of an elite future that he shared with all of the Mboya-sponsored Kenyans in the airlift or not.

In contrast to the pure speculation in this article, Jerome Corsi has obtained photocopies of a claimed Kenyan government report including interview details with Mama Sara in which she says she was present in Mombasa for the birth of Barry. This pregnancy might well have been hidden from Mboya or alternatively, Mboya might have been complicit in helping to hide it to avoid a stain on his precious Kenyan student body in US colleges.

Corsi also claims to have an official Kenyan Gov't report of a search for and report of missing records for Barry's CPGH BC that was so suspicious that a criminal investigation was suggested to prosecute the thieves. According to the Kenyan Gov't docs in Corsi's possession, the search for Barry's BC in Kenya was requested by Bush's US ambassador to Kenya! Where there is smoke??? The Kenyan docs that Corsi claims to have provide more evidence of a birth location for Barry in Kenya than any other location, IMO. I also believe (speculatively) that the recent defector from Odinga's staff who has thrown in with Corsi could well vouch for Barry's Kenyan birth and have had access to the missing BC docs, if Odinga was complicit in removing them. begin quote from your article:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/04/why_obama_was_not_born_in_keny.html In the same letter, Obama Sr. says to Mboya: “...this is the time when I feel I should thank you for the help which you gave me when I was coming here.” Had Obama Sr. returned to Kenya for the birth of his baby he undoubtedly would have contacted his sponsor. Yet the letter seems to indicate that this is the first time he has thanked or been in touch with Mboya since his arrival in Hawaii in 1959.

Then there are the difficulties of a trip to Kenya in 1961: the costs and the logistics. In an article in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, September 19, 1959, Shurei Hirozawa wrote of Barack Obama Sr.’s arrival in Hawaii: “The money he saved will only stretch out for two semesters or less because of the high cost of living in Hawaii, he found out. He'll work, he says, and probably apply for a scholarship.” Obama Sr. had no money. He certainly wouldn't have had the money for two airplane tickets to Kenya. If that trip took place, Ann's parents would have to have paid the fare.

Since we know Obama Sr. was continually enrolled year round at the University of Hawaii, and he finished in three years’ time what would normally take 5 years, any break in his studies would have necessarily been short. Any trip to Kenya would have to have been by air, as going by sea would have taken weeks, if not months.

For the birth to have taken place in Kenya, Ann would have been very pregnant and very near her delivery date when the trip was made. The distance between Honolulu and Nairobi, Kenya is approximately 10,700 miles. In 1961 there would not have been any direct flights, necessitating several stops and perhaps several overnight layovers.
