- IN BARACK'S BOOK, HE WROTE THAT HIS MOM WAS AN AU PAIR IN CHICAGO AT AGE 16; [PAGE 123].
- WHY CHICAGO? HOW DID THE KANSAS-WASHINGTON-HAWAII CHICK WIND UP THERE OF ALL PLACES?!
- WHAT AND WHO WAS HER CONNECTION TO CHICAGO, AND WHO GOT HER THE GIG?
WELL... ER, UM ... FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS WAS FROM CHICAGO, AND SO WAS FRANK'S CAUCASIAN WIFE - WHO CAME FROM AN ARISTOCRATIC CHICAGO FAMILY.
- DID MARSHALL'S WIFE GET HER THE GIG?
- WAS IT WITH THE AYERS FAMILY - ANOTHER ARISTOCRATIC CHICAGO FAMILY?
ACCORDING TO THE AGE BARACK CLAIMED STANLEY ANN RECALLED SHE WAS AT THE TIME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 1958.
BUT:
BARACK WROTE THAT HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM SHE SAW THE GREAT MOVIE BLACK ORPHEUS WHILE IN CHICAGO WORKING AS AN AU PAIR FOR A SUMMER.
ONE PROBLEM: THE GREAT FILM BLACK ORPHEUS WASN'T MADE UNTIL 1959!
IT WAS ACTUALLY RELEASED IN THE USA IN THE WINTER OF 1959,
SO IF SHE REALLY SAW THE MOVIE IN THE SUMMER IN CHICAGO - (I DON'T THINK SHE'D CONFUSE A SUMMER IN CHICAGO WITH A WINTER IN CHICAGO! PLUS SHE'D HAVE BEEN IN SCHOOL IN HAWAII EXCEPT IN THE SUMMER!) -
AND SINCE I THINK BARACK IS ACCURATELY RECOUNTING HIS MOTHER'S STORY (THAT SHE SAW BLACK ORPHEUS IN SUMMER IN CHICAGO - THE SUMMER SHE WAS AN AU PAIR)...
THEN IT MEANS STANLEY ANN DUNHAM WAS IN CHICAGO IN JUNE-JULY-AUGUST 1960 AND THAT'S THE SUMMER BEFORE BARACK WAS BORN.
SHE WAS 17.
BILLY AYERS WOULD HAVE BEEN 13.
- CAN ANYONE FIND OUT IF DAVIS'S WIFE'S FAMILY KNEW THE AYERS FAMILY?
(IT'S LIKELY SINCE BOTH FAMILIES WERE UPPER CRUST CHICAGO.)
- DID MR. AND MRS DAVIS SEND STANLEY ANN TO CHICAGO TO COMMUNE WITH THEIR COMMUNIST COMRADES THERE AS PART OF HER "AWAKENING"?
- PERHAPS THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO AU PAIR JOB AT ALL, PERHAPS IT WAS COVER STORY?
- WAS STANLEY ANN INDOCTRINATED THAT SUMMER BY PEOPLE LIKE VERNON JARRETT - VALERIE'S FATHER? AND/OR THE AYERS?
- WAS THE AYERS FAMILY A FINANCIAL BACKER OF THE CHICAGO DEFENDER - THE LEFT-WING BLACK NEWSPAPER DAVIS AND JARRETT BOTH WORKED AT?
- DID THE AYERS FAMILY BACK THE SOUTH SIDE COMMUNITY ART CENTER?
CAN ANYONE FILL IN THE BLANKS?

The 1959 timeline would seem more likely.
Though the movie was officially released in December 1959, it was released in June 1959 in France, and was screened even earlier than that at Cannes.
It would seem more likely that she caught a special early arthouse showing (I've seen movies this way) in the summer of 1959 than the movie still playing in a movie theater in summer of 1960, six to eight months after its release.
the movie was released in dec 1959.
if she saw it in the summer than it was 1960 that she was in chicago.
the dunhams moved to hawaii in 1960 so it AHD to be the sdummer of 19670 that dunham was an au pair in chicago.
had to be.
unless every fucking word obama wrote was a fucking lkie.
