Barack tells us his mother spent 72 hours immediately prior to his birth, in Kenya, and then returned to have him.

Snip from a long comment. We have to track this down.

Adding to what you posted.

“if there is not an issue why toss up details about time spent in Kenya? Barack tells us his mother spent 72 hours immediately prior to his birth, in Kenya, and then returned to have him.

Now I have done reasearch and am a bit of an aviation buff. I went back to see just what aircraft were available and when, in order to fly someone to Kenya, in 1961, and then back again within 3 days. Not even going over the fact that today and even MORE SO in the past - a 9 months pregnant woman would almost certainly be denied the ability to fly, especially a long flight, probably originating in Seattle (as the hints and records seem to imply), over the Pacific Ocean.

The DC8 or Boeing 707 was operational for its first flights in late 1958. Few companies flew the 4 engine jet through 1959 - and only the most profitable, highly travelled routes would be using this ULTRA expensive aircraft. No routes to any African country were considered high-traffic routes, with only a London - Johannesburg route being a moderate traffic route.

The flight WITH the jet would have taken, from Seattle, approximately 24 hours to complete, with refueling and passenger changes. But what is more likely is that Obama’s mother would have taken a 4 engine propeller plane - like the Pan Am Super Constellation - overseas - requiring as much as 32 hours to complete with stopovers, refueling, and passenger changes.

There is NO WAY A.) that she was allowed to fly at her stage of pregnancy, and B.) that she flew to Kenya, stayed about 6 hours, and then hopped on the plane back to Seattle, and then gave birth.

There is a reason for all of this - and for the MSM not even to look into it is a serious, and to me deliberate, oversight.”

That is of course the dynamite post of the night. Where does Barack say that? If you can put her in Kenya on August 2, 1961, he will wind up with the burden to show how she got back and where she got back to--particularly with Susan Blake saying she just got to town in Seattle (at Mercer Island) before she learned to change diapers.
