As per your words: “...the roundtrip flight to Kenya would have been a very expensive, pointless, and time consuming epic journey for two starving students. “ Then explain the address in the birth announcement of 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy.

Obama Jr., recounting his father’s 1971 visit to HI, mentions the tours the family went on. He says that they walked past the house his grandparents had lived in before moving into their apartment, plus another home he had not known about that the Dunhams lived in when they first moved to the island. He then goes on to say they walked past the place where his father had lived when he initially arrived in HI and the spot where the home he had later moved to had once stood. That makes two homes for the Dunhams and two homes for Obama Sr.

Reading through articles at “The Honolulu Advertiser” it was found that the Dunhams had lived in “a modest wooden house on University Ave., near Kamanele Park” (home number 1) They had also lived in a “large house on Kamehameha Ave.”(home number 2) prior to moving into the 2 bedroom apartment at 1617 Beretania St. The family would have moved into the “large wooden home on Kamehameha Ave.” when Ann arrived back in HI from WA state sometime in late 1962 or early 1963. When Ann married Lolo and moved to Indoensia with Barry the Dunhams moved into the apartment.

From reading articles from “The Honolulu Advertiser” Obama Sr. initially lived at the Atherton Y.M.C.A.(home number 1) prior to moving into a small, single story home in St. Louis Heights(home number 2) which we know from Jr’s testimony was torn down sometime between the end of June 1962 and December, 1971. All of these homes are located within 1 mile of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

The home listed in the birth announcement, 6085 Kalanianaole Hwy is listed as a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom presently assessed for between $680,000 and $750,000 depending on what site one goes to, and is approximately 7 miles from the University.
According to BIGLOOK, a Freeper living on Oahu, “Obama Born In Kenya? His Grandmother Says Yes

Nice detective work, Chief!

6085 Kalanianaole is out by Aina Haina and Hawaii Kai. A rental would be way out of price range for college students. Doubtful that a Kenyan exchange student, whose previous address was the YMCA, could have finagled a lease.”

If a round trip to Kenyan by “starving students” was cost prohibitive then explain how those same two students could afford to rent a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home 7 miles from the University of Hawaii at Manao. As I have pointed out to you using Jr’s own words (paraphrased) that particular home was NOT associated with the Dunhams or Obama Sr. To appease the Frank Marshall Davis supporters I also checked to see where the Davis family resided at that time and where at least one of Obama Sr’s friends lived.
The Davis family had lived on the leeward side of the Kalihi valley since 1956 (found at UofH website thesis) where they had “moved to be closer to schools, hospital and work.”
Since friends and former classmates of Obama Sr. had submitted photos of Sr at parties with them in 1961 I checked to see where the party host, Arnold Nachmanoff, had lived during that time and he was finishing off his military commitment while stationed at Pearl Harbor.You will notice the absence of Ann in any of these photos circa 1961. I might also point out that Sr’s friends never mention Ann with the exception of Neil Abercrombie. Don’t you find it strange that he is the exception?
I must admit that suffering from a shattered upper right arm has allowed me time to discover these facts, but I cannot understand why you, as a journalist, did not discover them. I really would like to see your explanation for these facts as I have laid them out eventhough you do live on Big Island instead of Oahu. To me these facts are just another piece of the puzzle that is Obama Jr much like the absence of infant pictures is. It would be nice to see that a journalist has actually investigated instead of saying it is luancy to pursue!
