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.

As others have said; a 707 travels about the same speed as any jet today.
Yeah, Vancouver sounds likely, but how many women deliver their first baby and immediately want to start taking classes?
Unless you have a couple Super-Nannies lined out well in advance.
Did her banker mom spend every dime she had on airfare, childcare, tuition, books, room, board within a couple weeks?
Yup, yer right. The guy’s got a PHD, don’t cha’ know?
Eventually in the middle of obamaland they will just construct a large TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN ADDRESS.
WND is grasping at straws that aren’t there. It is perfectly reasonable to relocate from Hawaii in 15 days, particularly if you may have done some pre-planning. As someone else pointed out - jets to and from Hawaii were in service back then - but even an old DC-7B could have made it in less than a full day.
There is no evidence that pre-planning wasn’t or was done.
As Rumsfeld used to say, “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”!
I think we can accept that these movements were physically possible, and that it was a mistake to raise the issue of aeronautic technology.
But when did she arrive in Hawaii? What is the official timeline? Did she arrive there from Kenya, give birth, then leave for the “states” in a matter of days? The whole thing is hard to picture.
Wonder who took care of the baby while she was in school?
I suggest "the monument" consist of few artifacts super glued into a red Radio Flyer coaster wagon. That way, it can easily be relocated as changing conditions and the evolving narrative warrant.
Doesn't seem to make sense that they'd leave Hawaii for Kenya just for the birth after which she'd have had to turn around and go to Seattle.
Interesting that she apparently left BO SR....maybe this is part of the reason for zero's rage at white people...and this isn't the story zero (ayers) told in the book. Hmmmm.
I'll go back to my original idea...there's something on the BC that zero doesn't want us to see.
I think the point of the story is that it’s extremely odd that a teenager with a newborn decides to go to school thousands of miles away from her new husband and family/support system.
Think about the logistics of attending classes, caring for a newborn, etc.
Weird, weird, weird.
wouldn’t the airplane companies have records, even if stored in boxes, of their passengers?
Maybe she was uncomfortable during the flight.
I don’t think so!
What’s all the excitement about? This is no newsflash.
Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs covered this story many many months ago.
Sounds like she wanted to get away, bad. This is VERY odd.
1. Recover in the hospital in Hawaii.
2. Buy clothes, diapers supplies etc for herself and her child.
3. Schedule a flight, make reservations and take a 2,680 mile flight from Hawaii to Seattle.
4. Arrange for transportation from the airport and find a place to stay in Seattle.
5. Go apartment hunting and find an apartment she can afford in Seattle.
6. Buy things necessary for apartment living.
7. Arrange for someone to take care of her son.
8. Register for classes at the University of Washington.
9. Buy books, supplies etc and get ready for class.
10. Arrange to pay for everything.
11. Care for the almost constant needs of a one to two week old child.
12. Arrange for a pediatrician for her son.
13. Arrange for a doctor for herself.
Stanley who was 18 years old at the time, had never lived away from her mother and had no knowledge or experience in child care or living on her own would have to have done all these things and others in two weeks. I don't believe it.
Also the 707 in 59. BTW, The DC-8 went supersonic in testing. Only 'subsonic' airliner to break sound barrier.
Of course, if it was hard for her to get from Hawaii to register in Seattle, think about how much harder it would have been for her to get to Seattle from Kenya.
I guess the new argument is that he wasn’t born on his birth date?
Fortunately (or unfortunately for conspirists), it is not at all unusual for women who are pregnant to register for classes, even if those classes start at some time near their due dates.
One more thought - I knew some students that wouldn’t even bother to show up for the first week or two of classes. It wasn’t many, but there was always about 5% in each class that you’d see for the first time 2 or more weeks after the course started. Some may have just been waiting to get into a full class, but some were enrolled from the beginning and just decided to start showing up around week 2-3.
It was more noticeable in small classes with under 30, but if she was in intro classes with 50-100+ students, this would be very easy for her to get away with without the professor even knowing for weeks on end.
It would be even easier from Vancouver!
