“they must have been pretty well funded from somewhere to be taking trips all over the place. i was like 7 years old back in 1962 on the west coast, and even living in a nice part of LA, I can tell you that there wasnt anyone around my area that were acting like rich international jet-setters with tons of money to be going back and forth to hawaii, to seattle, to kenya, to harvard... his parents operation was well funded from somewhere.”

Exactly. Where did they get that money. It cost a whole lot of gelt to fly back in those days.

Didn’t O’Reilly once make the statement about the birth announcements that the grandparents couldn’t have afforded to pay for them? But they were flying their daughter back and fort across the Pacific?

I would also mention that college loans/grants in the early ‘60s barely existed. There were academic and ROTC scholarships. But very little in terms of federal grants and/or subsidized loans as exist today. It was pretty much a case of going to the school your family could afford.

Too many pieces missing in this puzzle called Obama.
