Yes, she thought Ann was much older than 18 when those pictures were taken.
If so, do you think this would affect the odds that FMD was the father or just the odds of the FMD & ANN combination?
I see no reason to consider the possibility that Stanley Ann Dunham is not the mother. Too much evidence points to the conclusion that she is. No one is going to let Stanley Ann take their child to Seattle and show him off to several of her friends when that child is a few weeks old infant. Too many people saw her there, and two much paper evidence exists that demonstrates she was there, so the only possibility is that she was there with an infant child, and therefore is absolutely the mother.
As for the Naked Pictures. If they were taken in 1960, she would have been a few weeks Pregnant. As the pictures were likely taken by Frank Davis, and as it is probable that if a girl will pose naked for someone she will likely have sex with them, and as it doesn't seem likely that she would be in love with Barack Obama Sr. if she was posing naked a few weeks later for Frank Davis, then it is reasonable to suggest that if those pictures were taken in 1960, then Davis is very likely the father.
If they were taken in one of the subsequent few years before she left for Indonesia then the proof that Davis could possibly be the father is eliminated, even if he took the pictures because Barack would have already been born.
That is why the year makes the difference. The Pictures could have been taken in 1960, but not 1961 because Ann was in Seattle in 1961 during Christmas time. (Unless Mama flew her back for some reason.) Christmas of 1962 would have been the next most plausible guess, and if it's Christmas of 1962, the Pictures prove nothing as to who is the father. However, the lack of stretch marks leads me to believe that it was Christmas 1960.
I used to believe the Nude photos were of Ann, but now I’m not so sure.
1. There is a ring on the model’s ring finger - indicating marriage/engagement.
2. Neil Abercrombie’s statement “Ann was no beach bunny” and photo evidence that Ann was heavy - yet the model seems somewhat skinny.
I really don’t have a clear guess on the model’s age - which would help guess the year the photos were taken - if they were of Ann.
I haven’t seen any concrete evidence that Barry was in Seattle with Ann in 1961-1962. The only evidence I’ve seen is the highly suspect statement by Mary Toutonghi:
1)
‘Dunham attended night classes a few days a week at the University of Washington, and needed someone to take care of her son.
…She watched Obama a few times a week, for about three hours at a time. Dunham paid her, but she doesn’t remember how much, Toutonghi said.
…“I remember his being very large and very curious and very alert. I don’t remember him fussing, but that doesn’t mean anything. Saying he never fussed is like saying he’s not real. But I don’t remember any undue fussing at all,” she said.’ (’Obama baby sitter awaits new era’ by Jenny Neyman)
The statement “Saying he never fussed is like saying he’s not real.” seems to me that Mary is making up the story.
2)
‘“It was interesting, and I don’t know why she was going to school in Seattle and he was in Hawaii at the time. She had told me at one point that because of her husband’s post in the tribe he was going to have to go back to Kenya and marry a black woman, as well. It was a whole different world, so she was accepting of that and hoping she could get back to him soon,” Toutonghi said.
“Since I found the book, ‘Dreams from My Father,’ when it was first published, then when I was working on the 2004 presidential campaign and realized he was the convention speaker, it blew me away. And then this,” she said.
…“I keep thinking of the six degrees of separation, that thing. I’ve known some unusual people in my time, but this was different.”
…“It was just mind-boggling to me when he did that Democratic convention, and then was like, ‘Huh,’” she said.
…“We talked, but I can’t say, if I had been really strong friends I would have kept up the relationship. It was interesting to me as I read that book, his first book, I was thinking of his mother, then finding out she had died I felt very badly. I had meant to try to contact her through the publisher, but I didn’t get around to it. It was one of those things,” she said.
…“I just think we’ve been through eight years of hell,” Toutonghi said, referring to the war in Iraq, mounting national debt and the country’s downward spiral into economic recession during President Bush’s administration.’ (’Obama baby sitter awaits new era — Soldotna woman eager for former charge’s reign’ by Jenny Neyman)
I believe this excerpt shows Mary’s true intent.
