The intention behind this photo is to corroborate events that never happened. On the one hand we have a welcoming party or a Bon Voyage one. It is certainly odd that Barack Obama senior is the only person wearing a complete suit when everyone else is wearing short sleeve shirts. The bottom line is a question: “Why was this phony photo created?”

One reason (though this is not a "photo" openly/publicly circulated by BO and his supporters) would apparently be to put together Stanley Armour Dunham and BO Sr., to give credence to the idea that the Dunham family was supportive of the union of SADO and BO Sr.

Off the top of my head, that's the only think I can think of.

Aaargh. I mean to say "thing I can think of."

I agree. The original image could have been taken anywhere, the core group might have been two men in the centre, the young woman, a captain, an officer, a group of dockworkers, three crew in the foreground...a camera-case. And everyone else we see was added later, including the false lei, to give the impression the photograph was taken in Hawaii.

Are any of these people alive to interview? Do we know who they are?
