Obama’s grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama was a prominent and wealthy farmer. Barack Sr. was a child of his father’s indulgence. Hussein Onyango paid the cost of plane fights in order to facilitate the custom of approval to his son’s choice of wife. In this case, the was something that caused him to reject Stanley Ann. To insure that his son was not in contact with Stanley Ann any longer, he arranged that she go to the University of Washington to further her education. The cost of airfare was actually less than if she were to travel back to Hawaii. I have seen the letter from the U of W Registrars stating that Stanley Ann Obama was enrolled the Fall of 1961.
As far as the airline restrictions for newborns, baby Obama was about two weeks old when he flew to Vancouver BC. That was well past the restriction limit. According to Stanley Ann’s Mercer Island friend, Susan Blake, Baby Obama was two weeks old when they arrived at her house on Mercer Island. Also, there is the conversation with Mary Toutonghi, who now lives in Soldatna, Alaska. She recalls Barack as “a really alert baby, very happy and a good size.” She does not remember him ever crying (although she adds she is sure he likely did but does not remember any undue fussing). She recalls as best she can the dates she babysat Barack as her daughter was 18 months old and was born in July of 1959 and that would have placed the months of babysitting Barack in January and February of 1962.
Mary remembers Ann as a “very mature” woman “who never complained and met her obligations.” Ann was taking night classes at the University of Washington and according to the University of Washington’s registrar’s office her major was listed as history. She was enrolled at the University of Washington in the fall of 1961, took a full course load in the spring of 1962 and had her transcript transferred to the University of Hawaii in the fall of 1962.
What source did you use to get the information in that first paragraph?
In the letter he received from his Father, Hussein Onyango Obama was furious that his son was fooling around with a White Woman. He did not want his Luo blood sullied with that of an inferior White Woman. If you think he paid to fly her to Kenya, you are dreaming.

This only proves that she was there. It says nothing as to how she got there.

What makes you think that was past the restriction limit? I don't see how a two week old baby's eardrums are significantly less subject to bursting than a two day old baby's eardrums. My current belief is that Stanley Ann was already in North West Washington when she had the baby. She arrived at Susan Blake's house without knowing how to change a diaper. How can you go for two weeks without knowing how to change a diaper? At the least she would have had to do it before during or after the Air Flight.
