“Had Little Barry been born in Hawaii, Stanley Ann would not have instantly jetted off to Seattle. The expense was enormous, and back in the early days her parents weren’t awash in money.”
I can imagine a number of scenarios where people with money might want to pay to have Ann’s mixed-race baby flown out of Hawaii ASAP. The family moved to HI from the Seattle area where Ann knew people.
Frank M. Davis might want to hide his paternity.
The folks invested in Obama Sr’s future as a Kenyan politician on discovering his bigamous marriage might have panicked.
Ann’s parent could easily have dipped into savings, for all we know, or called on the relatives in Kansas to protect mom’s career path to bank vice president or pop’s position as a KGB operative working with Obama Sr. He was a pal of KGB operative Frank Davis and pop had a big FBI file.
Very interesting. If there were people concerned about a mixed race baby, why wait until it was delivered? I don’t believe anyone has verified that airlines back in ‘61 would allow a newborn on a 1,500 mile flight. Why not fly SAD out before the delivery?
People who think FMD could be the father are A, relying too much on a single photo [in other pics FMD looks nothing like Obama], and B, forgetting how old Davis was by the time SAD got to HI. There’s no indication that SAD had a weakness for creaky geriatrics.
O Sr was perennially short of cash. Who, that cared about his future, would suddenly produce thousands to temporarily relocate a woman he had already admitted to fathering a child with?
Again, if the Dunhams cared about social fallout from a mixed race baby [they did], why wait until after it had made its appearance? If they’re going to get SAD out of sight, why not do it before her pregnancy and delivery were already an issue [which is what, in fact, they did]? Before I’d believe they bundled SAD off to Seattle with a newborn, I’d need some reassurance that the airlines in the early sixties had no qualms about flying newborns 1,500 miles.
I agree the parents found the cash. But no way did they wait until after the delivery. There’s zero evidence SAD was in HI at that time. They flew her out early in her pregnancy. It makes no sense otherwise.
