Senior Arrives In Hawaii

This photo, published in a Honolulu newspaper in 1959 shows [Ann’s father — hands in pockets] Stanley Dunham escorted by uniformed U.S. Navy personnel, greeting Barack Obama Sr., as he arrived in Hawaii from Kenya.”

In the photo, Dunham stands next to Obama smiling. National-security guru Angelo Codevilla contends that the CIA might well have assigned Dunham to keep an eye on Obama, an unwitting pawn in the agency’s mission to woo the emerging African elite.

If Codevilla is right, then Sally Jacobs’ new book is close to all wrong. In her account, Obama arrives, alone and friendless in Hawaii, not surrounded by 20 well-wishers, chief among them a future father-in-law who was not yet supposed to be there.

If the date of the photo can be verified as 1959, Codevilla is likely right, and the mystery deepens.

“Senior Arrives In Hawaii”

Here is Codaville’s original article. No pictures. The article is from 2011 after the CBS image was published.

Is there an image of this newspaper article from 1959?

If not it seems strange no one has dug it up.
