It’s possible that she left for Kenya not intending to give birth there but merely for the exotic, seeing the country ..
Speculation for sure..
—
Was supposed to be in third trimester. If it was me — No way would I want to be in hot dusty dirty Kenya.. Could it be that she wasn't that far along when she traveled, that maybe something happened that brought on early labor..

I've heard others suggest that she was a communist sex operative. Maybe she was over there doing her thing..

Obama Sr. went home to Kenya to welcome Jomo Kenyatta.

Jomo Kenyatta was being released August 14, 1961, after serving time for his part in the Mau Mau uprising in 1952. Obama Sr. was a big supporter of Kenyatta and would later serve in Kenyatta’s administration as an economist.

I suspect the Stanley Ann found out about wife #1, Kezia. She doubtless was angry at being married to a bigamist, and after Barry was born the shine was off the marriage. That is why she went to Seattle and the U of W in Sept.’61 rather than return to Hawaii. She didn’t return to Hawaii until Obama Sr. went on to Harvard.
