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.
Likely the DOB is just another lie. The baby could have been born in July somewhere other than Hawaii and registered in Hawaii in August while visiting her parents. I would also guess that BHO Sr. left his bride when he saw that the baby looked more like Frank Davis than himself.
I thought the conspiracy was that she had lived in Kenya.
In today’s dollars, what would a coach class ticket have cost in 1961? Air travel was a rare luxury for the upper class in those days, not the cattle car budget travel it is today. I’d guess that a ticket Honolulu to Seattle would cost about $5,000 in 2009 dollars.
My grandparents traveled from NY to Europe around the same time on a vacation trip and went by ship because they couldn’t afford air fare.
Where would an 18 year old have found that type of money?
Probably the same place her son found tuition for Columbia and Harvard a few years later.
You don’t believe what? That she was in Seattle at that time? Yes, she was.
Your misfortune.
Did she actually start school in Washington that year?
You don’t believe what, that SAD went to Settle?

Susan Blake, another high school classmate, said that during a brief visit in 1961, Dunham was excited about her husband’s plans to return to Kenya “We all had June Cleaver as our role models, and she was blazing new trails for herself,” said Blake, a former Mercer Island city councilwoman. (37)
Blake recalls that Dunham, who was calling herself Ann Obama at the time, visited her at her house in Mercer Island during the last week of August, 1961.
She left Honolulu just as soon she had clearance from her doctor to travel with her new baby. He was just 3 weeks old. She had sent a postcard that she would be in town, and was staying with a friend of her mother’s. She drove out to my house in her mother
’
s friend’s car, and we spent the entire day together. She was very excited about her new life, and her husband. She was nuts about him, crazy in love. I was under the impression that he had left Honolulu before Barack’s birth, that he had gone to Harvard already for his studies, and that Ann was on her way to join him there. She planned on raising her son, getting a job, and attending school, she told me. Her husband would head back to Kenya after graduating from Harvard to join the newly formed government, and she would take her place beside him. It was all very exciting, a dramatic change in her life in the one year since she had graduated from high school. (38)

She had money to pay for all of the above? Who financed her globe trotting?
