Why Obama might have claimed he was born in Kenya [Reader Post]

Loading

The issue of Barack Obama’s birthplace has been simmering for a long time. It has been ridiculed by the left incessantly, as well as by some on the right. The seemingly sensible course is to deny that Obama was born anywhere else but in Hawaii, but as is typical of Obama, nothing is as it initially appears. There are questions that need answers.

Breitbart has disclosed that Obama’s literary agent published a booklet that describes a young Barack Obama as being born in Kenya:

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

The booklet, which was distributed to “business colleagues” in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.

It also promotes Obama’s anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White–which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.

All too predictably, the media immediately leaped to defend Obama, asserting this was some sort of oversight:

Barack Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorists have been foiled again.

Conservative-leaning Breitbart.com on Tuesday published a copy of a promotional booklet from Obama’s former literary agency. According to a brief biography in the 1991 booklet, Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii,” fueling fire to the idea that the president is not a natural-born American citizen.

As New York magazine noted, the article caused a stir in conservative circles, drawing commentary from the Drudge Report and other popular websites.

However, the woman who wrote Obama’s biography in the pamphlet said Thursday that she had misidentified Obama’s place of birth.

“This was nothing more than a fact-checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time,” Miriam Goderich, who worked for the literary agency Acton & Dystel, told Yahoo News. “There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii.”

So the left would have us believe that this woman allowed this error to fester for 20 plus years. Saner heads might question why this remained uncorrected all this time. Maybe she didn’t know Obama had been elected President? From where did she get the notion that Obama could have been born in Kenya?

But then another “Born in Kenya” account emerges- this one from the AP in 2004.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

OK, that was from 2004- a long time ago. Another mistake, no doubt. But then here it is again. Dystel and Goederich, the successor literary agent to the original Acton and Dystel, listed Barack Obama as born in Kenya until April of 2007.

“BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.”

And it turns out that bio’s are submitted by the authors themselves:

Finally, there should be a more formal narrative Bio of the author.

It strains credulity to think that Obama was entirely unaware of these things- he is aware of absolutely everything that concerns him.

After reading the excerpt from Maraniss’ book Barack Obama: The Story a couple of things stand out. Being a narcissist is nothing new for Obama:

Obama was the central character in his letters, in a self-conscious way, with variations on the theme of his search for purpose and self-identity.

His characters are designed for a specific purpose:

Like many characters in the memoir, he introduced her to advance a theme, another thread of thought in his musings about race.

And there are at least three pronunciations of “Barack”:

She called him Bahr-ruck, with the accent on the first syllable, and a trill of the r’s. Not Bear-ick, as the Anglophile Kenyans pronounced it, and not Buh-rock, as he would later be called, but Bahr-ruck. She said that is how he pronounced it himself, at least when talking to her.

“Dreams” is not really a memoir, but is largely a fiction. It is David Maraniss’ opinion that Obama’s book Dreams from my Father “should not be read as rigorous factual history.”

It’s all very peculiar. We have learned that Obama’s description of his former girlfriend Genevieve Cook is not real but a composite of women he knew. It seems that we know little of the real Barack Obama. People are composites. Everything is “compressed.” Obama claimed to have been born in Kenya. Why?

Clearly, being seen as Kenyan-born because it offered him some advantage. The media has had zero interest in why. Obama got a full scholarship to Occidental College in LA but Obama had steadfastly refused to release his college records. Was his scholarship awarded on the basis of Obama being born in Kenya? Was that the same vehicle he used to gain admission to Columbia and then to Harvard? Obama has freely mixed fantasy with fact his entire life. Was he born in Kenya or was he a fraud? This would be a compelling reason to secret those college records.

A very important point, often overlooked, is that Obama being ”born in Kenya,” made perfect sense when he was pushing his first idea for a book: Journeys in Black and White–which Obama abandoned.
What would ”Journeys in Black and White,” have been about?
Obama’s Kenyan white colonial roots, Kenya’s black break from colonialism, Obama’s travels to the white America and his dealings inside America with a white power class.
His entire ”narrative” falls to crap if he’s not from Kenya!
Thus, he dropped that pretentious idea of a book that would have slammed white America as ”colonial” like old Kenya.
He opted for a ”dream” book that allowed him to create a personal history out of whole cloth.
Then, if you read it or listen to him read it a,d compare that to his REAL speaking style, he had a ghost-writer create it based loosely on his family stories and composites.

Yes, seems more opportunistic to me than anything else (ie., when it suits him to be from Kenya, he’s from Kenya. When it suits him to be from Chicago, or born in Hawaii…he’s from there). This seems to be common among democrats these days (claiming heritage or birthright as it benefits them..including education, politically, socially, etc). ….see Elizabeth Warren.

One has to wonder how Obama managed to pay for not one, but three, tony university tuitions. His grandfather in Hawaii did not work, and his grandmother was the sole support of the family, working as a VP in a small bank, and the out-of-state tuition to any of those universities is really more than a single worker family would be able to pay, not to mention Obama’s living expenses.

When it comes to Harvard, in 2008, Percy Sutton, famous civil rights lawyer and the lawyer who defended Malcolm X after Malcolm X became a Muslim, stated on a NY1 interview that he was contacted by a very wealthy man, Khalid al Mansour (a radical named Don Warden who was one of the originators of the Black Panthers and who had converted to Islam) who gave financial advise to the richest prince in Saudi. Mansour was supposed to have told Sutton that the Saudi prince he represented was “very” interested in a young black man in Chicago, one Barack Obama, and wanted Sutton’s assistance in helping Obama get into Harvard.

Sutton told in the interview how he still had many friends at Harvard (and never having cut his ties to the Nation of Islam) so he wrote a letter of recommendation to Harvard in Obama’s half.

Sutton, who died in the last few years, was not a fool, nor did he have a tendancy to flourish a story. But the media promptly ignored Sutton’s claim in their desire to elect a blank slate on which they could project their socialist views.

In his book, Obama and Michelle the author states that it was common knowledge that Obama was not meeing his deadline for Dreams so Michelle gave what little manuscript there was, along with Obama’s interviews with his Kenyan family, to William Ayers.

My question is: if you are going to run for the highest office in this nation, and there was a question about your legitimacy to do that, why not instruct the State of Hawaii to release your birth certificate and be done with it? One of the things that bother me is the relative ease with which parents, in the ’60’s, could get a state birth certificate.

Nan G, I think O’Bama’s proclivity as a liar comes more from the influence of white powder than white power and more from pipe dreams than those of his father. The fact that the American people would elect such a shallow phony is deplorable; to re-elect him will be disaster.

It is a simple riddle, and I am surprised at Doc for missing the key words. The contentious phrase is “natural born;” who are we to assume Obama was not born head first. If Obama slid down the birth canal feet first, like an airborne baby or if he was a Caesarian baby, he could hardly be considered a natural born citizen.

If this seems preposterous to you, well that’s rich, now you can ask yourself why you let this man dance into the White House with little or no scrutiny. A far more preposterous situation than worrying over how Baby Barack slid down the birth canal or where. We are the ones who were played for chumps and he is our prize.

He should be able to bankrupt our country within four more years, will we still be discussing the obvious assumption, he was not legally entitled to hold his position. We have quivering cowards in Washington who refuse to stand up to this man and the press; they refuse to arrest and prosecute Holder over the Fast and Furious Debacle, do you think they will stand behind you because he is ineligible to be president.

This election is about Obama’s dismal failure with the economy and jobs. It can be won if we focus on the economy and jobs. He has become the celebrity president to the brain numbed among us and to them, he is a cool dude, but his luster will begin to fade when people realize they may not be working in a few months and the cool dude’s economic policies are bankrupting the country. They don’t care if he was born in a toaster on a fishing boat in the South China Sea.

@CharlieGee#4 – AMEN to that! Sadly so many American voters, both average and those who supposedly were savvy politically were totally conned by this empty suited fraud… And even more disastrous were all those [like myself and obviously those here at FA] who saw right through this guy’s b/s…..and have been sucked right down to the bottom kicking and screaming along with all the other sheeples… Makes me want to stick a fork in my eye….trust me, the pain would be the same.

HI,
WHAT IS INCREDIBLE IS THE PEOPLE WHO ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN
AND TO STILL BE IN PLACE , HE IS FREE MERRYLY GOING INTO DECISIONS ABOUT AFGHANISTAN AND WHAT IS THE WORD I HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY ABOUT HIS SIGNING THAT DEAL WHICH IS
UN……… SOMETHING, UNDISMANTEBLE? NO NOT THAT ONE, UN BREAKABLE? NO, NOT THAT ONE,
UNTEAREBLE? NO, NOT THAT ONE SH.T HE PRONOUNCE IT TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME,
HE DID NOT SAY IT IN FRONT OF THE TROOPS, WHEN HE WAS IN AFGHANISTAN,
ANY WAY IT MEAN THAT NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT DEAL WITH KARZEI, AND DID AMERICANS READ IT?, CAN THE NEW PRESIDENT CHANGE IT? THAT CAME TO MY MIND, IT SCARED ME,
FOR THE MILITARIES, I FEEL THEY ARE BEING SCREWED,
UN…..UN……. UN…… HELP. UNMUTABEL, NO NOT THAT ONE
UNDEFEASEBLE, NOT SURE, UNTIDEBLE, NAH
UNWEAVERABLE ?

Or, if we desire to consider the possibility (considering his forged birth certificate & Selective Service card, the unprecedented order sealing of his records, the Connecticut Social Security number,) posed by the “birthers” which might be the truth: That Obama really was born in Kenya as his paternal grandmother said he was, and the MSM & Democratic party decided to ignore the Constitution in order to get their chosen one elected. At this point we only have verbal assertions that assume Obama was born a natural citizen. Yet there has been no real physical proof provided.

There surfaced in 2009 what has been purported, and certainly appears to be a Kenyan Birth Certificate, which includes a foot print of the baby “Barack Hussein Obama II”. It would be a simple matter to compare the baby’s footprint with adult Obama’s footprint. SCOPES claims that this is a fake, yet SCOPES also incorrectly claims that the digital “scan” of Obama’s “long form birth certificate” is genuine, (It is without question a forgery.) SCOPES has been in error before and refused to admit it, so until the Kenyan birth certificate can also be examined by a forensics expert, we simply do not know.

I propose that If Obama is later found not to have been eligible to serve as president, it will be a black eye for everyone who refused to “vett” him, including the establishment Republicans who meekly accepted an assumption that he was eligible. It should allow an out for a future Congress or Supreme Court invalidate every bill, Presidential Order, and Directive that Obama signed, due to the high crime of fraudulently violating the eligibility terms of office.

I of course continue to hold that we simply don’t know the truth one way or the other, and we are purposely being kept in the dark. The one thing that makes me lean towards the the suspicion that we’ve been had is the unfounded declarations of the of the press for us to “move along, nothing to see here.” attitude, and the fact that due to the sealing of records on Barack Obama, we are refused to be allowed to view so many of the records that could tell us the truth.

hi,
how about the SHERIF Arpagio [not sure of [pronounciation]
he had a proof legit, and GEORGIA ALSO, AND ANOTHER ON ANOTHER PREVIOUS POST.
ALL THE MUSLIM DEALS HE MADE WITH THE BROTHERHOOD ON ARAB SPRING REVOLUTION ORGANISATION
WE CAN JUST FIGURE THE EXTENT OF ALL HE ORDER, ALL HE SIGN TO BE LAWS, ALL THE ILLEGALS HE ALLOWED IN,
ALL THE executive signatures bill he got, and all the expanses he did,
all the moneys he send abroad in multi billions, all the military who where killed on his time and orders,
all the propaganda on selling his profile as a god, all the attack on the flag to be out of schools, all of the attacks on the CONSTITUTION BEING IN HIS WAY, ALL THE ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS, AND THERE WOULD BE COURT ACTIONS TAKEN TO OUTLAST HIS LIFE LONG, EVERY PENNYS FROM THE PEOPLE SPEND ILLEGALLY,
MANY HEADS WOULD FALL, WITH HIM, MANY SCANDALS SURFACING, AND THE MEDIA WHO PROTECTED HIM WOULD BE SUNK DEEPER THAN THEY ARE NOW, IN THEIR CREDIBILITY NEVER TO RECOVER,
WHY DID HILLARY LEFT TO GO ON A SECRET MISSION TO KENYA RIGHT AFTER HE WAS ELECTED?
ANYONE KNOWS? SHE MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW IF SHE HAD A SEALED SUITCASE,
MIGHT IT BE ABOUT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO BE CONCEALED
THAT’S WHY HE IS SO DESPERATE TO WANT HIS RE-ELECTION TO HAPPEN.

More possible proof of Obama being born in Kenya. INS documents around the time of Obama’s birth shows a US certificate issued to one East African born child of a US citizen in 1961.

BREAKING OBAMA -> IMMIGRATION & NATURALIZATION SERVICE DOC FOUND: U.S. CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO ONE EAST AFRICAN-BORN CHILD OF U.S. CITIZEN IN 1961!

While I would more than welcome and consider any evidence presented here….there “has” been factual and objective evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii, and that includes the existence of a valid Hawaiian birth certificate, documentation from newspapers and other objective sources indicating his birth there at the time, and witness by state officials of Hawaii and the US gov that Obama’s birth was in Hawaii and the documents are valid/real. That kind of evidence doesn’t just go away because you change your argument/angle. To dispute that record…there will need to be evidence that changes it — ie., evidence that the newspaper ad was simply submitted by someone with intent to fake his birth place, evidence from the State of Hawaii that his birth record is not valid, evidence from the US gov or otherwise that there are conflicting legal records that exist. Despite all the talk/speculation, no one has produced such a document. And if you ask me, the chances are slim to none you ever will.

If you want to write that off as being a conspiracy to suppress that info, you’ll need proof of that too. Sorry, but that’s how it works.

Dc
hi,
the last birth certificate shown in MEDIAS for the PEOPLE TO SEE,
was cut out by slices and this by expert on computer advanced to have that knowledge on how to,
and he found it to be false, just like the previous one picked up and slice on many layers on top of each showing to be found fraudulent.
what more do you want, or do you” not want” to believe? than there is nothing to do more,
for the non believers, and just the fact that OBAMA CONCEALED IT FROM THE BEGINNING BEFORE THE ELECTION, HE AND HIS TEAM QUESTIONED MC CAIN BIRTH CERTIFICATE who produced it soon after THIS WAS
THE TOP OF ARROGANCE, BECAUSE OBAMA HAS CONCEALED HIS, AND WHEN HE PRODUCE ONE MUCH LATER, AS PRESIDENT ELECTED WITHOUT HAVE BEEN PRODUCE HIS LEGIT BIRTH CERTIFICATE, THE EXPERTS MORE THAN ONE CAME TO TELL IT WAS FALSE, NOW YOU HAVE A NEW LINK ABOUT THE SAME SUBJECT ON Smorgasbord link, check it up, quite interesting to read. or save.

@Dc: #12

….there “has” been factual and objective evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii, and that includes the existence of a valid Hawaiian birth certificate….

When the present governor of Hawaii was running for the office, he promised he would show the certificate. He still hasn’t found it. The Arizona Secretary of State asked Hawaiian officials to confirm that they have Obama’s birth certificate, and the haven’t yet.

Arpaio: Appears Hawaii ‘hiding’ Obama birth record

Several years ago Hawaii passed a law that the paper birth certificates can be destroyed, and they say they have destroyed them. They now are trying to pass a law so they can destroy the microfiche of the certificates. Why? If Obama is on one, wouldn’t they want to keep it to prove he was born there? No hospital claims that he was born there. No city claims that he lived there.

No state gives “scanned” copies of a birth certificate. They are copied from the microfiche. Try to find a “scanned” copy of ANYBODY’S birth certificate. Why go to all of the time and expense of finding the paper certificate, then “scanning” and printing it, when they can go to the microfiche and print from it?

I have been “neutral” about the birth certificate since I heard about it. I want facts before I decide anything. An open minded person has to admit that there are questions about the certificate, the Social Security card, and his Selective Service card.

One of the main things that convinced me that the certificate is a fake is that it was written with a word processor, not a typewriter. If you can’t see that fact, then you won’t believe any FACTS presented concerning the issue.

The fact that the whitehouse has ignored the sheriff from Arizona doesn’t prove anything, and anyone who suggests that it somehow does…is really stretching things.

http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/barackobama/a/obama_birth_certificate.htm
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/birthcertificate.asp

This entire thing has been batted around enough to shake loose any loose bolts and there just isn’t anything that I can see out there to screw together. The document in question has been determined to be a valid birth certificate from the state of Hawaii by numerous sources…including the state of Hawaii and US gov vetting by FBI, etc., I personally have not seen anything that refutes that.

If someone comes up with a BC from Kenya that the Kenyan gov and the US gov say is legit…you let me know. Until then, all this is speculation at best. Feel free.

The coup de grace, on video and in Michelle Obama’s own words, When we took our trip to his home country of Kenya:

Is Michelle lying?

mossomo,
it’s incredible that no one could stop him from taking the USA,
AND STILL BE THERE AS WE SEE,
WHERE WHERE, WHERE ARE THOSE WHO GAVE AN OATH TO PROTECT AMERICA
AGAINST IT’S OWN TRAITORS BEFORE THEY CEASE POWER, AND SELL OUT AMERICA TO THE HATERS,
UNBELIEVED TOLERANCE WENT AWOL.
NOW ALL YOU SEE IS DARK SHADOWS
ROAMING THE GOVERNMENT AND DECIDING THE FAITH OF AMERICANS, UNDER THE PROPAGANDA OF THEIR MEDIAS,
KILLING EVERYTHING DECENT THEY FIND A AN OBSTACLE TO THEIR AGENDA. TEACHING THE CHILDREN THEIR OWN COMMUNIST RHETORIC TURNING THEM AGAINST THEIR PARENTS, AND PROMOTING THE DEATH OF AMERICA FUTURE
BY FEEDING THE DEATH PILL TO WOMEN WHICH IS KILLING THE ROOTS OF GENERATIONS WHICH MADE THE TRUE GIANT AMERICANS WHICH NO FOREIGNERS COULD EVER BECOME
IF THEIR ROOTS HAVEN’T BEEN PLANTED WITH THE BLOOD OF THEIR ANCESTOR HERE FROM TIMES BACK

@mossomo: #16
Maybe us Tea Party birthers have brainwashed Michelle into thinking her husband is Kenyan.

If your father was from Ireland, came here, married a US citizen, had you…and later in your life you said…I’m going back to visit my homeland in Ireland …would that make you “not” a US citizen?

Dc
hi,
yes, but he could not be PRESIDENT, BEING BORN IN IRELAND,
the fact is that OBAMA never gave proof of his birth, his profile,
as it is proper for a candidate to the highest office to reveal his person from birth,
the people have the right to know who is that person, so they need some clues,
you have seen the vetting of the CANDIDATES ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, THEY WHERE VETTED BY THEIR OWN PARTY, AND BY THE OTHER PARTY ALSO, AND FOR SOME THEY WHERE BRUTALLY HAVE BARE THEMSELVES, AS NEVER DONE BEFORE IN HISTORY,
WHY? WELL BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHERE DECEIVED ON OBAMA NOT HAVING GIVEN ANY HISTORY OF HIMSELF , MEANING HE WAS A NOBODY WHIT A TONGUE
AND HAVING BEEN PUT ON THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS JOB OF AMERICA, BY GROUPS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES STRANGER TO THE AMERICAN VALUES, AND GROUPS OF AMERICANS
WHO NEVER BOTHER TO CHECK THE PROPAGANDA SERVED TO THEM BY MEDIAS
AND THEY BLINDLY VOTES ON AN UNKNOWN PERSON ,AND DID BELIEVED ANYTHING HE PROMISES TO THEM, THE CROWD WAS IN A FRENZY, BEING LEAD BY UNIONS AND THOSE WIT AN INTEREST TO PROFIT THEMSELVES BUT NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF AMERICA,
AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED, A TOTAL FAILURE , NO ABILITY TO TAKE ON
THE POSITION OF THAT MAGNITUDE,
THERE IS YOUR ANSWER, WHY THE PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER MADE THE SAME
COLLECTIVE MISTAKE EVER,
THE NEGATIVE DIVIDE IS SO GREAT, IT WILL NEED WORK TO FIX IT,
MITT ROMNEY WILL DO IT, HE HAS THE MORAL VALUES AND IS GIFTED TO KNOW HOW TO GET AMERICA WORKING AND THE BRAIN TO TAKE ON THE HIGHEST POSITION
WITH WISDOM AND HUMILITY TO SERVE THE GREAT PEOPLE OF THIS BEAUTIFULL AMERICA,
WHICH IS THE ENVY OF ALL THE WORLD AND WHY SHE MUST BE PROTECTED BY THE GIANTS
MILITARIES WHICH ARE THE BRAVEST OF THIS COUNTRY,
BEST TO YOU.

Father from Ireland/child homeland: Red herring in this context as we have Obama writing his bio for his publishing house stating he is Kenyan born which was used for over a decade in their marketing materials. Now we have Michelle talking about it being his homeland.

The Obamas created this narrative and they should answer. My conclusion is they’re charlatans and are whatever you need them to be for their advancement. Need to sell a book, I’m from Kenya. Need to run for pres, I’m from Hawaii.

@DrJohn: #22
You don’t call a country you are ashamed of, your homeland. I’m guessing that Obama wasn’t proud of the USA either, until he got elected.

My point is “homeland” could mean “heritage”, and the Obama’s are not the only people to use it that way. I’m Danish, by blood/heritage, but I was born here. And “yes”, the fact that Michelle, and Obama often have referred to his heritage in this way is all the “more” reason to suggest that this was the context that she meant it when she said it. …and “not” to suggest that he was “born” there. And yes, they are and have been opportunist in this regard…as it suits their needs.

As far as red herring goes…mossomo….this was YOUR point that Michelle’s statement somehow proved something (and it clearly does not). Take a look at that snopes link. It goes into great detail to debunk things that some of you still list as fact proving there is some questions that exist that simply do not exist. It’s like playing whack-a-mole. All of these questions were answered earlier in great detail and often with vetted documentation. All I’m suggesting is, to overcome that, you first have to prove that it’s wrong, or have the same level/kind of documentation and evidence to suggest something else. None of you have any of that. Nor does anybody else. And further, even the suggestion that he would get this far without such documentary evidence, etc., is extremely far fetched imho.

You are asking us to give up the most obvious, documented, simple answer…and believe the most fantastic, based on speculation and heresay with “zero” documentary evidence. It’s like the 9/11 truthers. It simply doesn’t matter how many people saw it, documented it, answered questions, etc.,…there will still be some who believe that it was conspiracy by the Bush family and rich people to start a war to make Haliburton rich and get oil. Hell, people even wrote books about it….I guess that makes it true? I’m not suggesting any of you are crazy, etc. I’m not trying to insult you or your intelligence. I’m only suggesting that trying to disprove what has already been proven without any documented vetted evidence…. is like trying to climb a wall wearing dress shoes. Now, somebody pull that as a quote and suggest that the fact that its hard is what proves it’s a coverup/conspiracy.

Dc
you said; disprove what already been proven?
where are the proofs? they don’t exist, and what he gave was proven false on many blogs,
and shown in details, you must have missed them, and that was for the first certificate, and the second certificate cut in layers of false made up fraudulently, that’s why OBAMA LOST HIS CREDIBILITY
AMONG THE MAJORITY, BECAUSE HE INSIST ON IT TO BE TRUE,
I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU TO NOT COMPREHEND THAT ONE PERSON COULD BE ELECTED TO SUCH HIGH POSITION AND LIE
ALL HIS WAY TO IT. BUT IT HAPPENED IN AMERICA,
WHERE THE GOOD PEOPLE WHERE LURE BY SOME BAD DUDES SELLING OBAMA, AND YOU WHERE ONE WHO THEY SUCCEEDED TO FOOLED

@Dc:

YOUR point that Michelle’s statement somehow proved something

You missed my point. The conclusion is that the Obamas created the narrative (which you refuse as proof) and they should answer for it. The important question no one is asking – if you lie to sell a book, would you lie to pass policy? It’s about character (for me at least).

Either way he gave up his US citinship or committed Fellony Fraud wich in both cases makes him ineligable to be president and any laws signed by him invalid

DC you say Vetted documentation. then why is there things comeing out by Harvard and other who said they hid the facts knowing it may hurt Barack’s chances in 2008 and I can see a quoat from a well known world leader is proven by your stance. when the people are vulnerable enuf they will be willing to believe a lie if you repeat it enuf

Hopefully the following will clear this up for you who believe obama is an american!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVFtmGFrbgQ&feature=player_embedded

THE BIGGEST PROOF ALONG THE OTHER
IS HE IS UNAMERICAN BY HIS ACTIONS, HIS BEHAVIOR OF DICTATOR,
NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER HAD A BEHAVIOR LIKE IT OPPRESSING THE PEOPLE SO TOLERANT,
LIKE HE IS THE MASTER,
AND NO PRESIDENT EVER DID ANYTHING AGAINST AMERICANS,
HE WENT FURTHER, SAYING VOTE FOR REVENGE,
THE SEQUESTRATION WILL BRING PAIN, SOME OF HIS DEMS SAID NO, HE HAD HIS OFFICE ORDERING THE DEMS TO SAY THE SAME AS HE, HE WANTED TO CAUSE PAIN TO AMERICANS
THAT IS UN-AMERICAN AND DELIBERATE TO HATEFULL ACTIONS LIKE PUNISH THE CHILDREN, close the parks, close the AIRSHOWS FOR THE PUBLIC ALL OF IT,
SOME SHOWED ABUSED WASTE SPENDING TO BE CUT WHICH HE REFUSE THAT IS THE PROOF,
THIS COME FROM DEEP BLACK ANGER WHICH WE HEARD BEFORE FROM BLACKS WHO CARRY HATE LIKE REVEREND IN THE BLACK CHURCH. HE FOLLOWED,
TOWARD AMERICAN NON BLACK, HE IS ASHAME OF BEING BLACK AND WANT REVENGE ON THE WHITE. HE HATE THE CHRISTIANS, REMEMBER THEY ASK IF THEY SHOULD NOT INCLUDE GOD IN THEIR DEMOCRAT CONVENTION, IT SOUND LIKE A BIBLE STORY OF DENIAL OF KNOWING GOD BY THE WAY IT WAS REPEATED MORE THAN ONCE, HE LOVE THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES , THEY KILL AMERICANS, HE HAD TOLD THEM IF HE HAD A CHOICE BETWEEN THEM AND AMERICA ,HE WILL CHOOSE THEM, AND HE DID, AND HE DID AGAIN IN BENGHASI, HE LET THEM WALK,
IS THAT WHY HE KEEP THE MILITARY THERE IN DIFFERENT MUSLIM COUNTRIES 75 OF THEM,
VERY DANGEROUS IS IN IT.
THAT IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA DOING IT TO THE AMERICANS,

TruthandFreedom
yes thank you for the link,
the first screen did not come but I got it from the side videos smal frames, it was among those,

@TruthandFreedom: #29
I have asked liberals different times, a simple question. Look at obama’s birth certificate. This is from his own web site:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate

Look closely at the letters and the numbers. The simple question is, “Was this document written with a typewrite or with a word processor?” Keep in mind that they didn’t use word processors at that time.

For those who still aren’t sure if it is fake, zoom in on windows 2 and 6c. Keep in mind that this is the document obama himself presented, not someone else. Notice how all of the windows on the left side curve down? Put a straight edge under the words in both windows. Notice how the words DON’T curve with the lines? These are only two of the many reasons that experts have declared obama’s birth certificate a fake, and most called it a lousy fake.

I won’t go into his using someone else’s Social Security number, or his fake Selective Service registration card (draft card).

Anyone who can look at the evidence and still say obama was born in the USA, are saying that they don’t care where he came from, as long as he keeps giving them the free stuff, or they are going to vote democratic no matter what, because it is a family tradition.

Smorgasbord
I saw a YOU TUBE, HE ADMIT TO BE A KENYA BORN
HIS OWN WORDS ON THE VIDEO,

@ilovebeeswarzone: #33
I thought I saved a video of obama saying he was from Kenya, but I can’t find it. When I searched the Internet, all of the videos with that title had been taken off of YouTube. That didn’t surprise me, since Google owns YouTube, and Google is a big supporter of obama.

@Smorgasbord, #32:

Look closely at the letters and the numbers. The simple question is, “Was this document written with a typewrite or with a word processor?”

It looks to me like the original was written with a manual typewriter. One tell is the capital O in Oahu, items 6b and 7b. The O is lifted slightly above the baseline that the remaining small case letters all rest on. This is indicative of a typewriter with a manual shift key. I can also see indications of fouled striker faces in need of cleaning. The small letter a, for example, is a bit gummed up. The top of it is almost a closed loop, rather than open on the left. That suggests a machine with an inked ribbon.

The whole thing is taking on a rather electronic look because the copy was produced from a digitalized image of the original. The scanning resolution was probably optimized to allow storage of enormous volumes of birth records. On top of that, the printed paper copy provided by the Health Department was then scanned a second time to make a PDF file. The resultant PDF then seems to have been reduced in size again for presentation in the linked article. That results in even more loss of detail and an increasingly digital appearance. Too much sharpening or contrast heightening have also been applied to the image.

At this point, people are probably going to believe whatever they want to believe. Maybe we can start all over again if Ted Cruz ever runs for president. Born in Alberta, Canada, with a Cuban father who may or may not have been an illegal alien…

@Greg: #35
I suggest you read the below article that I have posted several times for you to read, before you make any more comments about the document. It covers all of that.

From A to Z: What’s wrong with Obama’s birth certificate?

You didn’t answer the question of the straight words in a curved window. How can that be?

It looks to me like the original was written with a manual typewriter.

The experts say the document is a scan of an original, then doctored. The un-doctored parts were filled in with a typewriter when the document was recorded.

Look at windows 11 and 12b. The tail of the letter “y” is under the letter to the left of it. You can tell this better by using the straight edge you didn’t use on the curved windows. Type written text can’t do that. Word processors do this to make the letters look like they are evenly spaced apart.

The whole thing is taking on a rather electronic look because the copy was produced from a digitalized image of the original.

I challenge ANYONE to show me a scanned copy of ANYBODY’S birth certificate. The experts who examined it were all surprised that the document was in PDF format. That is very unusual. Copies for people are not made from the original. A copy is made of the document, and most, if not all states, put it on film, and make copies from the copy. I challenge anyone to show me a copy of ANYONE’S birth certificate that has the left side curved like obama’s is. They are all flat when originally copied for storage.

Since I don’t belong to any party, I don’t care which party wins, as long as I feel THAT person is the person that should be in THAT office. It took me several years to decide if the document was fake or real. I looked at ALL of the evidence I could find on the issue before I decided what I have decided.

You obviously haven’t even looked at the info presented that proves the document is a fake, or you wouldn’t have mentioned things that were already answered. As I mentioned before, please read the whole article at

From A to Z: What’s wrong with Obama’s birth certificate?

before you make any more comments about obama’s bird cage paper.

he said it not thinking he would have bid for the presidency at the time,
and when he ran for the president, they all hush hush his vetting was not done,
SARAH PALIN MENTION IT AND SHE MUST HAVE BEEN TOLD TO SILENCE IT,
BECAUSE SHE LET IT GO, THAT WAS WHEN THEY ASK FOR MC CAIN BIRTH CERTIFICAT,
HOW ARROGANT THEY WHERE, IS THAT ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT?
NO VETTING AT ALL FOR OBAMA, JUST THE TINGLE IN THE LEG,
THE BLACK CROWD WHERE IN A STATE OF CABALISTIC PHASE AND THE WHITE FOLLOWED THE SHOW,
THERE WAS MANY THREAT OF REVOLT IF HE DID NOT WIN,
THAT WAS THE FIRST CLUE FOR AMERICANS TO BE CAREFULL,
THEY WHERE BEING THREATED FROM THE BEGINNING,
AND CONSERVATIVES WHERE WARNING ALL OVER THE PLACE TO NOT ELECT HIM,
MC CAIN DID NOT MATCH THAT OUTBURST OF EXILIRATION CLOSE TO AN ALIEN ENCOUNTER OF THE THIRD KING, THEY CNN WHERE GIVING THE PEOPLE,
THEY PAINT HIM AS THE SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, THE OCEAN RIPPLE, REMEMBER,
THE BLACK THINKING THEY WILL BE DELIVER FROM WHAT THEY WHERE PREACH
OF HOW THE EVIL WHITES IS TREATING THEM BY REVEREND WHITE,
THE WHITES GOT IN WITH THEM MONEY WAS POURING FROM MUSLIM COUNTRIES KNOWN TO BE POOR, UNDER COVER OF REGULATION ILLEGALLY, WHAT THE HECK EVERYTHING WAS ALLOWED TO BE LEGAL,
FROM HIS FIRST CAMPAIGN.
NOW WE HEAR OF THOSE COUNTRIES HATE AMERICA,
HATE HIM, BURN HIS IMAGE, KILLED AMERICANS ABROAD
LEFT UNPUNISH,
now we hear of the FED COURT IMPEACH HIM,
WE HEAR THAT IT’S ALREADY IN CONGRESS,
HOW COME THEY DON’T TALK ABOUT IT IN THE MEDIA?

Smorgasbord
wow, THAT NEW REVELATION , it’s coming to hit with as big explosif as his first election,
it’s in working, but not as we think,
and now I think I know why there is no buget made by the left, if I’m right it’s because they know he is an usurper and they don’t have the courage to expose him and tell AMERICANS THE TRUTH,
BUT THEY KNOW THEY CANNOT MAKE A BUDGET WICH IS ILLEGAL AND MAKE THEM ALL COMMITING ANOTHER CRIME BESIDE HAVING ALLOWED IT TO GO ON FROM THE BEGINNING,
BECAUSE HE IS AN USURPER, THEY CANNOT IMPEACH ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE LAND, BECAUSE HE IS NOT A PRESIDENT BUT AN USURPER, BUT THEY CAN CONVICT HIM AS A CRIMINAL AND THE FBI REFUSE TO DO IT,
THEY ARE ALL AFRAID OF THE BLACK REVOLT IF THEY DO IT,
THEY ARE COUNTING ON THE PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER AND ASSEMBLE TO TAKE HIM OUT WITH PRESSURE,
BUT IF IT GO ON THEY WILL HAVE A WHITE REVOLT, BREWING AS NOW, EITHER WAY THE FUTURE IS DANGEROUS,

Smorgasbord
you know that ,SARAH PALIN WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG,
AND MC CAIN STOOD IN HER WAY TO PREVENT IT,
YOU KNOW, ALL THE LAWS HE SIGN ARE NOT LEGAL AND SHOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE,
ALLEN WEST IS IN THE ACTIONS TO COUNTER ALL OF IT,
HE IS STANDING TALL, AND WILL PREVAIL,

@Smorgasbord, #36:

The people who put together the WND article lost my attention when they began by presenting an image of the document that’s so blurry most of it can’t even be read. A much clearer copy is available on the White House website.

Even with that, analysis of the image is of questionable value. It’s an image of a paper print out that was made from another scan to begin with. Right from the get go, we’re dealing with a 2nd generation copy that involved 2 instances of lossy digital file compression. That is then being compressed yet again for presentation on a 72 dpi computer screen. Such an image is going to be loaded with digital artifacts. If you begin reprocessing a digital image to “reveal” more details of such artifacts, you’ll get farther from reality every step you take.

This really isn’t like examining a paper document with a magnifying glass or with infrared imaging looking for evidence of physical tampering. There’s no original paper document on file to be examined. That’s increasingly the case these days.

If there was a federal budget, everybody could easily see how much more is being spent than is coming in. Without a budget, there is no reference point to compare to.

If the republicans have looked at the evidence of obama’s fake birth certificate, and still say that he is legally qualified to be president, then they are in on the con job. I’m guessing that most, if not all of the republicans haven’t even looked at the evidence. How can anyone with an open mind look at the evidence and say the document is real? EVERY expert who has looked at it says it is fake.

I’m hoping the republicans are just ignorant, and not a part of the con job. I suggest people ask their republican politicians, including their governor, if they have looked at the information presented. I printed the article I referred to and sent a copy to each of my reps, and my governor. They are all republicans, and none of them replied back saying that they would even look into it.

So far, I like what Allen West has been saying.

@Greg:

You position a strong point. I don’t usually find the two of us in agreement.

Digital can be such a crappy medium. Garbage in, garbage out. Anyone who’s ever received a windat file knows how the filter of technology can corrupt. Anyone who’s ever cut/pasted and received double/triple spacing, or pasted in a bunch of ASCII knows.

.gif/.jpg/.bmp/.pdf/Hardware/Model/Driver/Updates/Properties/Policies/DPI/Etc. It all depends on the in. And out.

Govt documents are stored in Document Management Systems (DMS). iManage is an example of a platform. The data is the asset, not the quality. The staff that converts the paper doc to electronic doesn’t give too much thought to dpi/etc when tasked with a batch conversion.

on WND – not the strongest of sources. I’d try to distill their info and find a stronger anchor.

Stay in the pan as long as you want. I got out a long time ago.

NOTHING HAS CHANGE, AMERICA has stayed the same and is now backward,

THE FUTURE, WHAT FUTURE, IF YOU DON’T WANT TO CHANGE IT,
