Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack Obama's mother, was registered for college classes in Seattle only 15 days after reportedly delivering her first-born child in Honolulu, according to school records obtained by WND.
How Dunham was able to travel the 2,680 air miles from Honolulu to Seattle only a few days after the birth of her baby – at a time when trans-Pacific travel likely was at a speed half of today's jets – is not disclosed in the currently available public record concerning President Obama's birth.
Nor is there anything on the public record to explain how Dunham managed to find an apartment and relocate with her infant son so she could begin taking university classes within 15 days of the baby's birth.
There is also nothing on the public record to suggest Madelyn Dunham, Ann Dunham's mother, or any other family member preceded or accompanied Dunham to Seattle in August 1961 to help the new mother and infant son find appropriate living arrangements and complete the university's enrollment process prior to beginning classes.

What was the jet stream west to east?
Heck, anyone who ever watched Bob Conrad and Connie Stevens in Hawaiian Eye in 59 and 60 would remember any Honolulu airport scene of someone flying in from the mainland showed a United DC8. I think United even sponsored the show.
Perhaps she was supposed to give the baby up for adoption, but then, being quite headstrong, reneged on the agreement with her parents to do so.
I am not as familiar with “homes for the unwed” as I am adoption agencies. So with that said adoption agencies spread the cost of unfinished adoptions to the finished ones. That is part in parcel of why healthy child adoption costs can soar. They have to absorb the failed adoptions and special need babies that are born under the wings of the adoption agency. With many more women comfortable as single moms the failed adoptions have risen dramatically.
The Ant25 long range soviet plane in the 1930s landed in Vancouver. A Pearson Airfield, known to the Russians as “BARAK AIRFIELD”.
Barak was born in Vancouver. His Washington state commie, Russian speaking mom was certain to be aware of the one time the Soviets made history near Seattle.
“Belyakov made a non-stop flight from Moscow to Portland, United States, in bad weather. After 60 hours of flight they passed Seattle, after two more hours they passed Portland lighthouse on a Columbia River and headed deeper into USA territory but over the city of Eugene they founded a fuel shortage and turned back to the Vancouver military airbase.[2] They landed on a Vancouver’s Pearson Airfield[3] (by the other sources – Barak Airfield[4])”
The “other sources” was a SOVIET aviation publication.
No.
There's a pic of a young Stanley Ann with her parents. Obama has, IMHO, a strong resemblance to his grandfather, slightly less so to his mother.
What is remarkable is that, given he was raised by his grandparents in a comfortable life, that there are so few photos around of him at any age, but especially later childhood & as a teen. Of course this was obvious at the Democrat Convention and coronation in Denver, no childhood friends, past associates on stage to reminisce etc . . .
“Maybe the baby was born in Vancouver.”
Vancouver with Pearson airfield? AKA as BARAK airfield to the Russians in the 1930s. Their record setting ANT-25 flight landed there.
Im sure Stanley, so into Soviet culture never heard of the only Soviet thing to happen there. I think you are 100% right, Barak was born in Vancouver. Also, Vancouver had socialized medicine, free to his mom.
In production, and in widespread use on the Honolulu to Seattle route are two different things. Plus what was the price differential between going jet and going with say a Strato Cruiser, DC-6 or DC-7. My Dad flew out from Nebraska to California on a DC-6, IIRC, although it could have been a DC-7, not too much later than 1961, Could have even been the summer of '61, but '62 or '63 seems more likely.
“Air travel was a rare luxury for the upper class in those days,”
You are correct about that. I think 1958 was the first year that more crossed the Atlantic by air than by ship. It was not a normal thing yet to jump a plane. And most airlines were not solely jet yet.
Another reason for going to Canada was that delivery would be free under their recent National Healthcare System. (incidently, the one he admires so much,,,,)
The University of WA runs on a trimester, the fall term starts the third week of September. Of course it could have been different in ‘61.
Thank you for bringing that up. In intelligence terms, there seems to be nothing more to Obama's childhood than a..."legend".
No, it means the flight would be about 50% longer than a flight today. It would take about 9 1/2 hours at 300 knots average. Have you ever flow on a four prop bird with piston engines. I have, in a comparable C-97, a nice one that was once used by General LeMay. Leather seats, nice tables. But that was just a short hop from Vandenberg to March and back on the same day. I also flew longer flights on fairly nicely equiped twin radial Convair T-29s/C-131. OK City to Rome New York, (Tinker to Griffis) and then DC to Dayton to OK City on the way back. They issued beeswax ear plugs but even so the “thrumming” gets tiresome, and those were much short flights, and with no screaming baby to take care of either. Also no stewardess, just a crusy old crew chief, who would do his best to keep the engines “in sync”, to minimze the thrumming.
Where did you met her muawiyah?
Frankly, I don’t care where that bug was born, I want him gone and our country back.... soon.
Can’t say for sure about United but Northwest, then Northwest Orient, was flying DC8s and Boeing 720s out of Seattle to Hawaii and points West
That's probably why, as the transcript shows, she only took two classes, and those through the extension institute, which likely means night classes, perhaps with a friend or friends also going to school at U Washington, watching Barack on the (likely) two nights a week she attended classes. She did the same the next term. Of those four course she got a B and 3 A's. Only in the third term, Spring '62 did she take regular classes. Even then it appears that was "too much" as she appears to have withdrawn from one of the classes, "PW" passing-withdrew, but then continued to audit the class, meaning she would have needed to do any homework or take the tests, although she could have done either or both.
Oh, so now it’s Vancouver? I can’t keep up with the crackpot conspiracy du jour.
