So welcome to the club, now you see what we have been up against. Someone who tells you that the birth announcements are proof that Stanley Ann Dunham had a baby, although the announcement doesn’t name the mother or the child, and the daughter of the Pratt family with whom the Dunhams shared the house doesn’t remember her nor a child. She went to the U of WA, althought the directory listing is for Anna Obama, for whom the baby-sitter said she baby-sat when her own daughter, who was born in July 1959, was eighteen months of age...and Susan Blake, whom Stanley Ann Dunham visited with a newborn (in early August, she so carefully says) describes a newborn that SAD didn’t know how to care for.
So if you do the math, he’s a baby In January 1961 and again in August 1961. (Does that give you a hint this is not the same child?)

I would love to have been a fly on the wall on that day. Tell me Susan, did Stanley Ann Dunham breast feed the child while she was there for the afternnon, as you say she was? I bet she didn’t, I bet she fed it out of a bottle. Spontaneous lactation is a rarity...more common amongst dogs and cats than human beings...

But what would be the use asking her anything? She would only answer to a script according to what serves the CAUSE.

SAD probably did visit Susan with a child, it wasn’t hers. Someone maybe attended the U of WA, but it wasn’t Stanley Ann Dunham. And the person who attended the U of HI would have been the ANN S OBAMA (student) shown in the Polk. And she wasn’t Stanley Ann Dunham either.

But I repeat myself again and again...

I was thinking the very same thing. Bottle or breast feeding? Blake would have seen which way the baby was fed. Of course she will say "breast fed" now if she was asked, just as she would say and did say "August".

Another question that came to my mind is this - if SAD was given the baby to raise when he was an infant, then why aren't there any photos of SAD and said child until the chain link fence photo when he is no younger than 2 1/2 and IMHO almost 3? You'd think if the parentage fiction was in play they would have tried to get a few photos at least of "mother and baby" or "mother and one year old" or "mother and two year old" etc. But nada. And then of course one wonders - if she was taking care of the child until she surfaced in HI in 1963, WHERE WAS SHE? And who was she with? All by her lonesome?

And then, as is often the case, one question begets another, so here's yet another:

If she had raised or cared for the child since he was a baby, I would think that a bond of attachment would have formed, and it would not have been natural or easy to shunt him off to "grandparents" at such a young age. That is very odd. Even more odd and rather cold blooded if he had been her real son.

Fred Nerks, I found this statement of yours to go to the heart of the difficulty in following the narrative:
SAD probably did visit Susan with a child, it wasn’t hers. Someone maybe attended the U of WA, but it wasn’t Stanley Ann Dunham. And the person who attended the U of HI would have been the ANN S OBAMA (student) shown in the Polk. And she wasn’t Stanley Ann Dunham either.
little jeremiah, as you point out (and it's good to periodically remind ourselves) Stanley Ann Dunham holding Barack Hussein Obama Jr. on the fence is the first photographic record connecting the two--except perhaps the photo in Muhammad Speaks subtitled The Young Listened depicting a white brunette woman holding a baby which might be the young Barry.
Abrit, at 306 you lament a lack of progress.
Brown Deer, at 349 you show BHO to be the Twelve-Million-Dollar Man. Inflation has doubled the cost of the science fiction project of television's DARPA building a bionic man. Now we have a Photoshop president.
Greenperson, at 338 you show that the official propaganda is full of sound and fury, and signifies precisely nothing.
Fred Nerks returns at 375 with un petit epiphany vis-a-vis the Indonesian Shuffle.
Boz Skaggs performed the Lido Shuffle at the Allen Theater in Cleveland in 1974. The child of two persons who wished to remain anonymous was likely moved to place him in the protectorship of a friendly Indonesian leader.

As you describe, Fred Nerks, in both 375 and 380, summarizing with:
Well, you could try looking at it this way, if that photograph out of ‘Muhammad Speaks’ is her and zero, then she was the nanny, and she was paid to take him to Indonesia as soon as she could achieve custody, for which she needed a divorce, after FMD had married her off to the kenyan on paper so that he had a better chance of getting to Harvard, the money for which he came into rather suddenly, after working at the pine-apple cannery for a buck-something an hour...for a WHOLE MONTH!
I indicated at 342 that John Brennan former CIA Deputy Executive Director and Obama's first pick for Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) was CEO of The Analysis Corporation when its employee accessed Obama's passport file.
Is there a causal link. Brennan is a donor, an asset, doing the necessary work to preserve the legend.
In the case of Valerie Plame her legend was so valuable as to bring about a special prosecutor and a witch hunt resulting in no violation of the intelligence law but only a mere minor procedural infraction, a faulty memory.
Imagine the importance of maintaining the intricate illusion of Obama the son of the Kenyan and the Kansan.
Pure bunk.
Imagine the fiery advocate of a generalized Mau Mau applying hands-on organizing in the Seattle area for Nation of Islam Mosque Number 67.
It is 1960 the year after his trip to the Middle East.
He has made new friends.
