Obama - "continent of his birth" quote

"Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, was born on August 4, 1961 in either Honolulu, in the state of Hawaii[1], or Mombasa, Kenya, to Barack Obama, Sr. (1936–1982) (born in Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Nyanza Province,[2] Kenya Colony, British Empire), and Ann Dunham (1942–1995) (born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas).[3][4] On his mother's side he has a half-sister; on his father's side, Obama has two half-sisters and five surviving half-brothers.[5]"

Wikipedia says Obama born in Kenya
Online encyclopedia can't make up its mind on president's birthplace

That document looks fairly new to have been produced in 1961. It's amazing how anyone can make a document these days and get a notary stamp. If people want to believe what is reported, more power to them.

I'm not starting over on this debate again my friend. We have been through all of this already.

Another close-minded Obama zombie. Why even contribute to the thread if you refuse to debate? Seems kinda pointless.

Obama born in the US???

Just google the name Barry Soetoro......

Who Is Barry Soetoro?
by John Michael Rivera on June 9, 2009 VIRGINIA

Many people, liberals and Conservatives alike, still do not know that President Obama went by the name of Barry Soetoro while he attended Occidental College in the 1980’s. According to Newsweek, Obama entered Occidental College as BARRY SOETORO under his Indonesian passport and NOT as Barack Obama. Moreover, records show his religion as Islam, contracdicting his campaign claim that he was not a Muslim. QUESTION: If Obama is an American citizen why would he enroll in college as an Indonesian citizen? What advantage would there be for him to pose as a foreign student? Obama went by the name Barry Soetoro when he and his mother lived in Indonesia with his step farther, Oil Executive, Lolo Soetoro, and baby-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng.

Maybe Osa..Obama/binLa..Biden isn't more thrustworthy their predecessors??

Because I have ad nausium, I was debating the article in the op here. The other subject I am currently debating here



This thread is about a quote from an article from some guy in Africa misstating himself. Not about Obama's birth certificate, athough at this point if the O word comes up on anything Birthers immediately scramble together to call in question a document that has been shown, has been authenticated for a man who is the President of the United States.

It can't be a translation error, although they do have several tribal languages the official language of Ghana is English. English is also the language of government and education.

They ment what they said and Barry needs to release the official long birth certificate or this will never go away. Let me ask this; if he has nothing to hide then what is the point of placing his entire past under lock and seal until 1/20/2012 or until he leaves office and hiring hundreds of lawyers to go after anyone who tries to dig up information about his past?

"Continent of his birth"

sounds terrible if thats what it is supposed to mean. could be translation error...

fatherland and paternal ancestors doesn't do anything against him as we knew his dad was from kenya.

but continent of his birth, mixed with grannies recollection makes this sound pretty bad. although of course that guy writing could be wrong. maybe this is common knowledge over there, or just hopeful thinking?

ok, so i am not going to link anybody here to any website containing any information regarding Obama. but why is Obama's location of birth so important? does he really bother people that much?

No. Birth and ancestory are clearly two different things.
Continent of his birth is just that ... the continent where he was born.

English is Ghana's official language

While many languages are spoken there, English is the official language and that is the language used in government for all business and documentations.

Bud ... you've already been shown that's a forgery. The forger (Jay McKinnon) admitted it. AND Factcheck is run by Annenberg. Obama was on their board and they are big Obama $$ sponsors.

I wonder why no one seems to be questioning why so much of the questionable documentation is disappearing from the internet?
Or being totally changed? For example Link to outside page

So far the argument of those who are pro-Obama eligibility sounds like this: "It is because it is." When the legitimate question of the questionable validity of the COLB is brought up those same defenders sputter and cough and bring name calling into the discussion.

So far we have not seen his legitimate birth certificate.

Furthermore...

Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. passport in 1981?

No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no-travel" list in 1981.

When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981, he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport. If he was traveling with a British passport, that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on Aug. 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he was traveling with an Indonesian passport, that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian stepfather in 1967.

Now, if he has a legitimate answer, fine. So far he's offered nothing... just one million dollars spent in court defending the allegations. The American people are owed an answer. A truthful, legitimate answer.

Sputter however much you like, the truth is STILL NOT BEING TOLD. And that's a fact.

Yeah, he does, he bothers me because he's an incompetent socialist boob about as qualified to be Presidnet as my dog is. The point is if he was born in Kenya, which seems very likely, then he is NOT a natural born US citizen and does NOT meet the constitutional requirements to be President. In Africa it's taken as a given he was born in Kenya. At this point I think the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers in the media will support him no matter what turns up but I think it would be nice, for posterity, to prove how badly the Democrats and the media corrupted the campaign and Presidential election process.

Ive been talking alot to my classmates about obama and they refuse to believe hes not a us citizen, I even showed them this and they just throw up their defenses and look for a loophole to some how legitimze his citizenship.

i guess some people are afraid of the truth, and some people just believe what they want.

I'm not American, or even living in the U.S. so of course this issue isn't as important to me as it is to a lot of you.
However, I do take an interest in what goes in in the U.S. as it usually ends up affecting us in the U.K. eventually.
Personally I like Obama, and feel he is the right man for the job, and I wouldn't mind betting that any Americans that agree with me are not at all interested in where he was born, and whether he is really eligible for the position as president. The most important thing is will he do his best for the good of the people....and I am sure he will.....and is.
I'm pretty sure that all of you that are fighting to get to the bottom of this, are people that were against him getting into office in the first place, and are looking for anything that will get rid of him.

I know about all the NWO stuff, Illuminati, etc.etc. but I strongly believe there are things going on behind the scenes that we don't really understand yet, and Obama has been chosen for a reason. I don't believe he is just another puppet.....but I do believe that maybe for a while he is having to play his cards very carefully.

Citizen or not, he's still not fit for the job. Of course neither was McCain for that matter. Heck it's been none of the above in presidential elections for a while now.

English is America's language but everyone doesn't necessarily speak English.
