“Maraniss definitively states that ‘[Dunham] and Obama and the infant never lived [at 6085 Kalanianole].’ There was no room. The senior Dunhams shared the house with the Pratt family. The Pratt daughter ‘has no memory of the Dunhams’ daughter bringing an infant home.’”
I agree that there is NO evidence that after giving birth Stanley Ann and Barry set foot in Hawaii prior to the fall of 1962 when she returned from spending a year at U of WA. There is NO evidence that BHO Sr. and Ann ever lived together before or after Barry was born, so the foregoing is totally consistent with the Maraniss account. Maraniss is debunking the “happy little family for two years in HI” myth of Dreams.
The 8/31/61 Wood memo records BHO Sr. CLAIMING that his wife (that he named as Ann S. Dunham) was living with her parents. At the time witnesses place Stanley Ann and Barry in Seattle. This INS FOIA document is verifiable evidence of what BHO Sr. CLAIMED, and not what ACTUALLY happened.
Maraniss does NOT dispute that Stanley Ann lived at that address with her parents prior to the marriage reported to INS as being on Feb 2, 1961. Maraniss only disputes that BHO Sr, Ann and Barry ever lived together with her parents.
If Stanley Ann went to Kenya to have the baby between February and August, and then went to Seattle without returning to Hawaii, the Pratt daughter would never remember the Dunham daughter bringing a baby home consistent with what Maraniss states. That could be very telling.
Note also that Maraniss doesn’t say that the Pratt daughter doesn’t REMEMBER the Dunham daughter, but only that she doesn’t remember the daughter bringing a baby home.
Note also that the Pratt daughter doesn’t apparently remember the Dunham daughter being PREGNANT!!! The U of HI officials reported to INS (page 39 dated 4/21/61) that BHO Sr. had married Stanley Ann DUNHAM. Where was she between Feb 2 and late August? That is the question.
