Thanks, Chief Engineer. In spite of everyone’s efforts, it’s beginning to look like 0bamba will win the election. (Someone please tell me I’m wrong.)
Ping.

Are you basing your comment on the video from Susan Blake?
"She left Honolulu just as soon she had clearance from her doctor to travel with her new baby. He was just 3 weeks old. She had sent a postcard that she would be in town, and was staying with a friend of her mother's.
She drove out to my house in her mother?s friend's car, and we spent the entire day together. She was very excited about her new life, and her husband. She was nuts about him, crazy in love.
I was under the impression that he had left Honolulu before Barack's birth, that he had gone to Harvard already for his studies, and that Ann was on her way to join him there. She planned on raising her son, getting a job, and attending school, she told me. Her husband would head back to Kenya after graduating from Harvard to join the newly formed government, and she would take her place beside him. It was all very exciting, a dramatic change in her life in the one year since she had graduated from high school. (38)

It would be of interest now to know where that postcard came from, as for 'staying with a friend of her mother's', I cannot see anywhere in the article that tells us for how long. I cannot see much new here, please correct me if I am wrong or if I have missed something.

That does not appear to be what the reference says. Instead: "Here's what the evidence suggests:
1. Barack Obama Senior and Stanley Ann Dunham lived together under the same roof as man and wife, for not more than a six month period, beginning September 1961 and ending February 1962. During some portion of this six month period, Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Junior were in Seattle, Washington while Barack Obama Senior was in Honolulu, Hawaii.
2. Stanley Ann Dunham left Barack Obama Senior, in March, 1962, taking seven month old Barack Obama Junior with her. She moved from Honolulu, where Barack Obama Senior continued his studies at the University of Hawaii, to Seattle, Washington where she enrolled as a full time student at the University of Washington and lived with her son Barack Junior in student housing at the Laurelhurst dormitory, and later in her own apartment, on Capitol Hill. (6)
3. Stanley Ann Dunham returned to Hawaii from Seattle, Washington some time between September, 1962 and January, 1964, only after Barack Obama Senior left Honolulu for Harvard.
The key element to fixing the time of the Susan Blake visit in August of 1961 is that Stanley Ann had not yet learned to change diapers (in the youtube interview)--that puts the visit in early August 1961. Nothing above or elsewhere puts Stanley Ann in Seattle for longer than a day or so on that visit.
