Obama Sr. went home to Kenya to welcome Jomo Kenyatta.
Jomo Kenyatta was being released August 14, 1961, after serving time for his part in the Mau Mau uprising in 1952. Obama Sr. was a big supporter of Kenyatta and would later serve in Kenyatta’s administration as an economist.
I suspect the Stanley Ann found out about wife #1, Kezia. She doubtless was angry at being married to a bigamist, and after Barry was born the shine was off the marriage. That is why she went to Seattle and the U of W in Sept.’61 rather than return to Hawaii. She didn’t return to Hawaii until Obama Sr. went on to Harvard.
I read that Stanley Ann really liked Washington and wanted to go to college with her friends from high school days. From what I’ve read she was very radical stating once that she did not have to be married to have kids.
That makes an awful lot of sense.

I see what you are saying.
Interesting though .. Wiki. says Jomo was famous for setting up a capitalist system there. He was anti-communist.
I thought the story was that Oboma,Sr and wife were communists. Maybe they were infiltrating.
