You are right about everything about flights to Kenya. The evidence points to Canada, not Kenya. Barack Obama sr was so poor he couldn't even fly back to Kenya himself.
If I recall properly, he had to get a job in the University Cantina just to pay his rent.
There are letters from him begging his father to send him money. Do you think Stanley or Madlyn Dunham would pay to send their daughter to Kenya?
They sent her to Blaine Washington to live with her aunt, Eleanor Dunham Birkebile. (Stanley Dunahm's sister.)
Blaine is on the border with White Rock Canada, and Blaine didn't have a hospital in 1961. White Rock did.
Stanley Ann shows up in Seattle around August 19th not knowing how to change diapers, so there's a pretty good indication Barry was born either in very Northern Washington, or just across the border in White Rock.
The problem for Obama is Stanly Ann Dunham Obama flew to with Obama Sr. to Kenya to get Obama Sr’s father’s blessing for the marriage. Stanly was married to Obama Sr. and pregnant with “Barry.” When it came time for her to fly back, she was too far pregnant for the airline to allow her to fly. So, Stanly Ann gave birth to Barry in Kenya. The airline manifest would have given the names of mother and son for the flight back to Seattle, Washington. Why Seattle? Because Stanly Ann was scheduled to start classes at the University of Washington. However, Obama Sr. is no longer with Stanly Ann; possibly due to his father’s rejection of her. Racism may have been a factor.
Stanly Ann with new-born Barry first visits her Mercer Island high school friend, Susan Blake. Obama Sr. is no longer with Stanly Ann, but told Blake how excited she was about her husband’s plans to return to Kenya. I wonder if Blake got the true story of Barry’s birth in Kenya and has, for all the years, had tight lips about the truth. Blake, is a former Mercer Island city councilwoman.
Later, she rents an apartment in the Capitol Hill District. She attends classes at the University of Washington during the 1961-1962 school year while simultaneously raising her infant son. They will remain in Seattle for about a year; later in 1962 they return to Hawaii. Her plans with Obama Sr. do not happen and she formally divorces him in 1964.
