“...The memories of Toutonghi, which she said she was struggling with even in the newspaper story, would not likely survive cross-examination.”

Correction. It wasn’t a ‘newspaper story’ it came from Charlette LeFevre, she of:

WND reports that they interviewed Toutonghi directly regarding the date discrepancy:

1. She specifically remembers SADO and baby Barry, and

2. She does not remember exactly when they moved into her building, and

3. Toutonghi confirms the early 1962 time-frame, which

4. corroborates Polk and the U. of WA transcripts.

Mary Toutonghi, the babysitter for Barack Obama Jr., told WND that Dunham was attending night classes at the University of Washington campus.

Toutonghi was managing the house at 516 13th Ave. E. in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle when Ann Dunham moved into the apartments on the first floor above the garage.

Toutonghi told WND that she did not remember exactly when Dunham and her infant son moved in but she commented that Dunham took courses in the evening at the University of Washington.

“Most of the courses at the university that Ann attended started around 4:30 in the afternoon,” she said.

A discrepancy in Toutonghi’s statements has lent some confusion to the exact dates during which she babysat for Barack Obama Jr.

Toutonghi told both WND and the Seattle Chat Club blog that she babysat for Barack Obama Jr. when her daughter was 18 months old and that her daughter had her 50th birthday ‘this year.’

That would have placed the babysitting around February or March 1961, several months before Barack Obama Jr. was born.

Toutonghi also recalled that she babysat for Barack Obama Jr. when he was 7 months old, which would have placed the time frame around February or March 1962, making this the more reliable recollection.

When WND questioned Toutonghi not about the relation of her own daughter's age to the babysitting she did, but about the months she babysat for Barack Obama Jr., she responded that the babysitting occurred in the spring of 1962, just before her husband bought a house and their family moved out of the 516 13th Ave. E. address in Seattle's Capitol Hill area.

The Polk 1961-1962 directory also listed Dunham at the Capitol Hill address, supporting the conclusion she moved to Seattle to attend the extension classes.
