You said: “You’re right that things that might give better answers are not being released, and that’s a legitimate concern. However, it doesn’t justify claiming something as established fact, or even highly probable, when it’s an unlikely speculation. Don’t get me wrong, speculation can be valuable.”
This is true. And claiming that Obama Sr. and Obama’s mother could not have afforded to fly or go to Kenya, is just that-—Speculation aka a GUESS. Which I don’t blame you for because what much else can we do about Obama history??? Sooo, I GUESSED too about how it could be done.
Sooo, in our GUESSING GAME, to me one GUESS is about as good as the other. But if you are going to GUESS in the future they could NOT have afforded it, then if you want to be fair and balanced, you need also add my GUESS about how they could have afforded it. OK???
Not the same, sorry. I never said “they couldn’t have afforded it.” I showed how much one part of the journey cost, which makes it unlikely they could have afforded it. You propose that donors to a program that was set up for education would have contributed an additional amount so that the wife of a student could fly to Africa and back. I ask why they would do that, rather than use the same contribution to send an another student to the US.
