The claim is that Stanely Ann Dunham spent her entire pregnancy in Hawaii, and that Barry was born in Hawaii.
This does not fit with the fact that she was in Seattle two weeks after he was born. Other freepers have looked for and found the flight rules in place at that time, and 2 week old infants were not permitted to fly on airplanes in August of 1961.
The fact that Stanley Ann was in Seattle on August 19, 1961 argues very strongly for the position that she was already in the vicinity at the time of his birth.
And this makes more sense in other ways. Both her parents were from Kansas, and even non-prejudiced parents of that era would have had a fit if they found out their daughter was carrying a Black Baby.
Stanley Dunham's sister Eleanor lived in Canada in 1959, (look at when and where her children are buried.) and later in Blaine Washington, and the manner in which embarrassing pregnancies were handled in those days was for the girl to be sent away to live with family or to a home until the child was born, and then the child was often given up for adoption.
Barack Obama Sr. did in fact write in a letter that it was their intention to give Barry up for adoption, and there was a hospital that specialized in unwed mothers right across the border in White Rock Canada.
Further evidence to support this scenario is the fact that Madelyn Dunham (Barack's "typical white" Grandmother) never told any of her coworkers that she had a grandson. The first they knew of it was when the News announced that Barack Obama was running for the US Senate.
Madelyn Dunham had never spoken a word about having a grandchild in all the time she had worked there.

Do you actually have a source for that? Or is it just another stupid thing you made up?
There will always be co-workers who don't know about the private lives of the people they work with. That nobody would know anything about somebody they worked with for years is a lot harder to believe.
