Who's to say she was 8 months along when she traveled, if she traveled? Her whereabouts are unknown from at least the end of the fall semester at U of HI, that would be the last part of January, not early July.

Divorce records indicate they were married in late February on Maui. So she was at a minimum 5 months pregnant.

Furthermore, Obama Sr. was enrolled in the Spring Sememster as well. So unless she travelled first, without him, that means the couldn't have left until June.

Don't you find it a bit strange that not one of her friends seems to remember any trip to Kenya? Isn't it also strange that not a single one of Obama's many Kenyan relatives remembers her visit? Or are you suggesting that maybe they're all in on the conspiracy. Yeah, that must have be it.

She would have only been about 3 months along, when most women aren't even "showing" and generally before "quicking", especially in a first pregnancy.

Okay, assume she travelled at six months. So now you are postulating that a young woman would have travelled around the globe, on a journey lasting several days, with multiple primitive modes of transportation, to a third world country for no good reason.

And there's not a shred of evidence she was ever there.

If you find that plausible, then you belong in the nut house.

Check your math. Late February is 5 months and a bit more from August 4th. But I don't believe the Maui story, because marriage licenses were in the newspapers in those days, and with permission still are in many places, yet none has surfaced, even after the information from the divorce papers, which Stanley Ann would have filed, indicated that Maui was the place to look. Maui has had at least one newspaper since at least 1900

One did report getting a postcard sent from a boat, but then backed off on it being from a boat, for certain.

I find it a bit strange that no one remembers much of anything about her in Hawaii before about 1963, except Neil Abercrombie. She does show up as enrolled for the fall semester at UH, which she completely blew, scholastically speaking, yet there is no doubt she was a bright girl, with a 3.3+ high school GPA. It's not clear if she actually finished the semester, or had good enough grades to pass a couple of her courses, Russian and Philosophy, IIRC, while earning an overall GPA of 1.3 or so.

Furthermore, Obama Sr. was enrolled in the Spring Semester as well. So unless she travelled first, without him, that means the couldn't have left until June. Or they traveled during spring break (March 22-26 in 2010, probably similar in '61) , or even Christmas break, which was generally about 2 weeks long back then. When you returned from Christmas break, you had about a week of class, then a second (dead week) then a week or week and a half of finals. It was only in the early '70s that most schools on the semester system, shifted the fall semester so that it ended before Christmas. The first two or three year of my undergrad time was done the old way, with finals after Christmas. That would have made 70-71 or 71-72 the first year on the new schedule. Pretty sure it was '71-'72, because my wife graduated at the end of the sumer of '71 and I seem to remember her complaining about not getting to have that long Christmas break, until she was a grad student, some years latter. (She is now Dr. La Gata, and chair of her department)
