“the timing of the departure lounge pictures (December 60/January 61) in her “wedding dress””
That picture and the one of BOH Sr. with BOH Jr. (aged 10)
were both taken at the same time and in the same place. See Post #1099. She is not wearing a “wedding dress” and since it is Christmas —see post #1129—it is not a maternity dress either because Maya was born in either September 1971 or Aug. 1970.
That could very well be correct. But I want to argue you that both pictures were taken around Christmas time in 1960.
Obama tells us that is a "wedding picture". By Christmas, 1972 which is the alternative, she is thirty years old--She guaranteed is not 30 in that picture.
Further, in the family Christmas pictures of 72 (0r 71) in Time, she is sitting on the floor--she is 30 and looks it; heavier, bigger, fatter face. In the family Christmas picture, Obama is not the kid in the Departure Lounge picture taken at the same time as the "wedding dress" picture either--much thinner; very much thinner face; he is skinny. Kid in the second picture is chubby, with wider cheekbones. Obama Sr. is older than Obama Sr. in the airport picture.
The only hole in that analysis is that there is a kid in the airport picture that looks a lot like Obama looked at some point after he was born and before ten. I posit that it is his half brother although I can't come up with any analysis of how or why the half brother got to Hawaii.
SEMom is after me because she thinks I look silly making this argument and maybe I do--she is usually correct.
But the issue is important because the airport pictures may fix the timeline in a pattern which fits the offshore birth. If the pictures are taken in December 60 or January 61, what is she doing in the departure lounge of Honolulu International? Her family is in Honolulu. Obama says this is a "wedding picture". Fine. Where is the wedding?
In Honolulu? Fine. Where is the record of it. And by the way, his record has the marriage in February of 1961--the Christmas trees are down by then.
The logic of it is that she and Obama Sr. are going somewhere from the Departure lounge to get married. In Kenya, the marriage is legal and not a problem.
Obama's problem with finding out about his parent's marriage is that finding a record of it in Kenya puts them both out of the country with her pregnant prior to the birth and in the situation where she might have gotten stuck, unable to return until after the birth.
