>>>> What was his mother doing on Mercer Island when he was three weeks old? She didn’t even know how to change his diaper. There were no direct flights between Hawaii and Seattle in 1961, and airlines wouldn’t allow small infants on airplanes then because of noise and sanitation factors.

The problem is, that's NOT what the woman in the interview says. She says “I can remember when she came to visit one afternoon when Barry was just FEW weeks old.” She says NOTHING about him being THREE weeks old. She says a FEW weeks.

To her, a few could have been two weeks old, or 20 weeks old.

The problem again, is people depending on what one person says another person said, and when you investigate, you learn they did NOT say that at all.

The interview is Susan Blake. The best timing fix is her extensive and clear description--"Stanley hadn't learned to change diapers yet; I had to tell her, Babies do this so you have to get the technique down." Mothers get it together pretty fast--like first week after birth mostly, even if they haven't studied it or been shown by pals.

Susan says the event was in the last half of August. And that Stanley Ann was on her way to visit Obama Sr. in Boston where he was attending school at Harvard.

Fact is that Obama Sr. was not in Boston in August 1961. He went to Harvard in August, 1962, a year later. Long after Stanley Ann would have learned to change diapers.

And Seattle is not exactly a way stop from Honolulu to Boston either.

Access from Kenya to the Western US is by British Overseas Airline--schedules for the airline in July-September of 1961 are posted on the main Born In Kenya thread confirming that the routing from Kenya would be from Nairobi to Glaskow to Vancouver BC. As I know from personal experience in the period, most people on a trip from British Africa to the Western US used ground transportation from Vancouver to Sea Tac; the Mercer Island stop was on the way to Sea Tac to get a return flight to Honolulu from Kenya.

This is all such idiocy.

Even Art Bell wouldn't go with this (Sorry, Art.)

Stop. Think. if there was anything to this, would the hundreds of investigators hired by the DNC, RNC, Hillary, Biden, Edwards, etc have found it.

I am off this ridiculousness.

When we found the falsity in the Bush-Rather documents, we brought respoect to FR. This simply retelling what every other nut job with a computer is posting elsewhere is costing us any reputation we had.
