The Drew story is interesting, because it has certain elements of truth ... or at least potential truth. I’ve been thinking that Obama may have been born in transit. It makes sense because under standard procedures, the final destination, so to speak, can be legally claimed as the place of birth. A ship pass, plane ticket or a captain’s affadavit might have been all that was needed to ‘verify’ the birth. The port of departure then becomes the city of birth (and no hospital, doctor or midwife).
I believe SAD’s friend, Susan Blake, said something about receiving a postcard from SAD who was on a ship at the time. And it struck me as odd that Mombasa would be claimed as a place of birth since Barak Sr. lived closer to Nairobi. If you were going to make up a story that Obama was born in Kenya, you would pick Barak Sr.’s hometown or the closest city. If they were in Mombasa, maybe they were traveling by ship and had to depart from there since it’s a seaport.
Then it’s reported that Tammy Duckworth said Obama was born in Indonesia, like herself. Also, spokesbabe Janice Okubo made an offhand comment that if you were born in Bali, your COLB would say you were born in Bali. Well, Bali is part of Indonesia. How odd she would pick a country where Obama had actually lived. Maybe she was telling the truth about where Obama was really born.
So now I’m thinking, what if Obama was born en route ... if you traveled from Mombasa across the Indian Ocean, you might stop in Bali (or another part of Indonesia). Of course, it’s possible that if you were flying, you might have connecting flights through Indonesia too. But either way, maybe the baby is born en route, but later claims any one of several different cities or countries as your place of birth to different people. I’ve never been convinced that Obama knows for sure where he was born, so maybe he’s just told different stories to whoever wants to listen. Granny Dunham just made sure to register her daughter’s baby in Hawaii to make sure he would be an American citizen. Just thinking out loud ...
Being on a ship certainly makes more sense than a single mother with a days-old baby boarding a plane in 1963.
That's been my trouble with the born-in-Kenya story from day one....how did baby Barry get to Hawaii? They just didn't let newborns fly in 1963.
Wonder if maybe the ship was going from Kenya to Seattle, with a stopover in Hawaii? We know SAD was in Seattle just a few weeks after Barry's birth...and interestingly she didn't know how to change the baby's diapers. Odd, you'd think she'd have that figured out within a couple days.
Wonder if anybody's done any searching on ship's manifests from Mombasa to Hawaii or Seattle around that timeframe. I don't know how long they keep manifests, though...A FOIA request through US Customs might shed some light.
He returned on BOAC out of Nairobi connecting in Glaskow Scotland to Vancouver BC. His passport problem was getting across the border at Blaine Washington in a car.
I got confused with this,
“I’ve been thinking that Obama may have been born in transit. It makes sense because under standard procedures, the final destination, so to speak, can be legally claimed as the place of birth. A ship pass, plane ticket or a captain’s affadavit might have been all that was needed to ‘verify’ the birth. The port of departure then becomes the city of birth (and no hospital, doctor or midwife).”
So which are you saying is the place of birth? the Destination or the Departure?
Stanley Ann has been proven to have been in Seattle less than 2 weeks after the little bastard was born, she enrolled at UW
