Obama Index Page, especially
if you arrived here by using a search engine.
Barack Obama has been elected to the office of US President. Long before election
day, a lot of important questions came up. Because so much is at stake,
these questions still merit further consideration.
On this page, some of the questions people ask about Senator Obama:
Mr. Obama claims to be a Christian, but he supports unlimited abortion on demand, as well as special
rights and privileges for homosexuals. It is impossible to play on both sides of these fences.
The Bible makes it very clear that Christianity is incompatible with both abortion and homosexuality.
Barack Obama's web site says that he "is a
committed Christian." So it is only natural to wonder: Where does Senator Obama go to church, now
that he has split with the TUCC? The answer
is obvious: Barack Obama claims to be a Christian, but he does not go to church.
Quoting from an article in Newsweek: "After
he began his run for the U.S. Senate, he says, the family sometimes didn't go to Trinity for months at a
time. The girls have not attended Sunday school." As far as I can tell, he has
attended a church service
only one
time since leaving the TUCC. Is that the behavior of a "committed Christian?"
Updated 12/31/2009:
After almost one year in
office, there is one
report that the Obamas have gone to church three times. See further commentary toward the
bottom of this subsection.
Can Obama Call
Himself a Christian? A mini debate has exploded on several blogs over whether President-elect
Barack Obama can call himself a Christian. If you're just catching up, first read this 2004 interview
with Obama.
The
Christian Case Against Barack Obama. After examining the material it becomes clear that Barack
Obama's words and his deeds do not reflect biblical Christianity. ... The Christian case against Barack
Obama is clear. No believing Christian should vote for Barack Obama on November 4.
Affadavit of Bishop Ron
McRae: [Scroll down to page 3] Additionally, it is common knowledge throughout both the
Christian and Muslim communities in Kenya, that contrary to news media propagandas here in the United States,
US Senator Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim and not a Christian, and that he was born in Mombassa, Kenya and
not in the state of Hawaii as falsely purported by the Obama campaign for presidency of the United States.
Mr. Obama's cousin [Raila Odinga] ran his failed campaign for the Kenyan presidency in the identical fashion of
Senator Obama's American campaign strategy, and that being to join a nominal Christian church in order to publicly
profess to be a Christian, while maintaining their actual Muslim beliefs, in order to sway public opinion away
from the actual fact of his strong Muslim beliefs, family and goals.
God and Barack Obama. The
Obama girls have never attended Sunday school — a definite contrast with most White House children. Even
wayward president's kids like Ron Reagan, a proud atheist, was taken to church every Sunday. Obama explains of his
daughters' religious education: "I'm a big believer in a faith that is not imposed but taps into what's already
there, their curiosity of spirit." Once Obama ran for the U.S. Senate, he skipped church for months at a time.
Now that he publicly parted ways with Reverend Wright, reports Newsweek with a gentle wink, "Obama is a little
spiritually rootless again."
Obama's Views Not Consistent With
Christianity, Conservative Says. Americans should question Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) commitment
to Christianity based on his "disregard" for unborn life, well-known black conservative author and activist
Star Parker said. "Based on his disregard and disrespect for human life, we should question his
insistence that he's a Christian. It is inconsistent with the biblical world view to think that not
only is abortion okay, but he goes so far as to support partial-birth abortion," Parker told CNSNews.com in
an interview.
The Unitarian Church and Obama's
Religious Upbringing. Obama hid his Unitarian connections during the campaign. In a 2006 speech, Obama
explained: "I was not raised in a particularly religious household, as undoubtedly many in the audience were. My
father, who returned to Kenya when I was just two, was born Muslim but as an adult became an atheist. My mother, whose
parents were non-practicing Baptists and Methodists, was probably one of the most spiritual people and kindest people I've
ever known, but grew up with a healthy skepticism of organized religion herself. As a consequence, so did I."
The Prophet Obama, Global Leader of Godless
Leftism. Obama believes in the god of Marx. He believes, as well, that he is the great
prophet of this secular religion. People in less sophisticated areas of our nation may cling to the
God of the Bible, but Obama, like other European Leftists, knows that Das Kapital is the only Holy Scripture
which is eternally and immutably true. Obama has studied the writings of fanatical monks like Saul
Alinsky, and taken to heart their message of winning at all cost.
Obama's Religious
Ruse: 'I've Always Been a Christian'. Barack Obama insists that he is a "devout Christian" of
"deep faith," and Big Media echoes his claim without question. Even some critics hesitate to challenge
the validity of that claim. The ruse that he is a Christian must be exposed for what it really is:
Obama's cloak to conceal that he is a Marxist from a Muslim background, for which he holds widespread support
in the Islamic world. This series of three articles will analyze his exploitation of Christian rhetoric
to serve the subterfuge.
Fully invested in your
misery. Obama seems happier these days. It is almost as if the disembodied spirit of his
mentor, Saul Alinsky, is watching and smiling. Americans are suffering. Losses in the stock market,
panic in the financial market, pain at the gas pump and in the grocery — all these miseries of average
Americans are a delicious narcotic to socialists like Barack Obama. What was the historic maxim of the
Left? "The worse, the better." Alinsky said that if there was an afterlife, "I will unreservedly
choose to go to hell." This is the man whose mind guides Obama's thoughts.
Obama: Premature Babies Aren't
People. On the federal level a similar bill passed 98-0 garnering a yea vote from pro-abortion
stalwart Barbara Boxer. But back in Illinois, Barack Obama had problems with this type of legislation.
He spoke on the floor of the Illinois Senate in opposition to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act —
in fact, he was the only senator to do so. The following year he spoke against the born alive bill again.
As a rabid proponent of legalized abortion, Obama voted against the bill or worked for its defeat on three
separate occasions.
Obama Lied About His Abortion Record.
The New York Sun reported that Obama's campaign has admitted that the senator voted against giving medical
care to babies born alive after an abortion attempt — a fact that the campaign originally dismissed
as a "smear." The reality behind Obama's rhetoric is that he worked against efforts to ban the gruesome
practice of leaving babies who survived failed abortions to die.
A
Catholic Case Against Barack. Thrice in the Illinois legislature, Obama helped block a bill that
was designed solely to protect the life of infants already born, and outside the womb, who had miraculously
survived the attempt to kill them during an abortion. Thrice, Obama voted to let doctors and nurses
allow these tiny human beings die of neglect and be tossed out with the medical waste. How can a man
who purports to be a Christian justify this?
Obama
Lied About Abortion Record. Newly discovered documents from the Illinois state archives prove
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has lied about his opposition to legislation requiring health
officials to provide care to babies who survived abortion as an Illinois state senator. … Now there's
documentation showing Obama did vote against a version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that contained
language to protect abortion rights identical to the bill that passed 98-0 in the U.S. Senate.
Influential Evangelical
Lobby Attacks Obama's Christian Credentials. [Scroll down] Obama's progressivism, however,
leads him to conclusions that are morally untenable, if not reprehensible, to Evangelicals and other
traditionalist Christians. He approves of same-sex romantic and sexual relationships, as do his
church, his pastor and his denomination. He supports abortion for any reason, by any method, at any
stage of pregnancy including during the birth process. In an E-mail under his wife Michelle's signature,
his campaign for US Senate championed Roe v. Wade and partial-birth abortion. In 2002 as an
Illinois legislator, Obama even voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, which would have protected
babies that survived late-term abortion.
Obama's Stealth Pro-Abortion
Stance: In response to a Pennsylvania voter's question about elementary school sex education, Obama said:
"Look, I got two daughters — nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first about values
and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby." This makes two things clear.
First, Senator Obama supports abortion on demand — even "convenience" abortions — for minors, including
his own daughters; and second, Obama considers babies a "punishment" he'd rather spare his daughters, even if those
daughters have to abort Obama's own unborn grandchildren to avoid that particular "punishment." That unguardedly
candid public statement is political dynamite — or it would be, if the media had reported on it.
Obama's Christian
Creds Vs. Abortion and Infanticide: This, "I don't want them punished with a baby," is
perhaps the most self-revelatory statement Barack Obama has uttered in public since he began his campaign
for the Presidency. … Because it goes to the personal. It goes to the extent of wholehearted approval of
killing one's own grandchildren if they happen to have been conceived inconveniently.
The Gospel According to Obama: As
the saying goes, faith without works is dead. Obama's sanctimonious chatter about religion only underscores
how little he understands about how those concepts are viewed by the most faith-conscious Americans, for whom
actions will speak louder than words alone.
NARAL Pro-Choice Obama: One
reason that the national board of NARAL, the pro-abortion lobbying organization, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, and encouraged
its state membership to do the same, was a series of behind the scenes conversations between the Obama campaign and NARAL.
"The message was, get on board or risk losing influence," says an Obama strategist. "We needed one of these [feminist
or pro-abortion] groups to step up and walk away from Hillary.
Barack Obama, Man of Faith.
Obama the Christian is a devout believer in unlimited abortion rights. He denies the existence of Hell.
He came to Christianity through social organizing with activist religious [people]. His devout Christianity
derives from the secular humanist "values" his atheist mother imbued him with. He believes, with all his
heart, in the separation of church and state — except when he campaigns in black churches, in violation of that
separation, and in violation of the tax code. Obama wears his religion on his sleeve in black churches,
but in dealing with the mainstream media, attacks the same behavior, at least as far as white, conservative
Christians are concerned.
It's Barack,
Like It or Not. Republicans will be prepared to use Obama's history of uncompromising, extreme
liberalism to undermine his claim to be a bipartisan uniter. He'll have difficulty, for example,
explaining away his radical and heartless position supporting partial-birth abortion and, some argue,
even certain cases of infanticide.
Infanticide candidate for president.
On abortion, Obama is an extremist. He has opposed the Supreme Court decision that finally upheld the
Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act against that form of infanticide. Most startlingly, for a professed humanist,
Obama — in the Illinois Senate — also voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
I have reported on several of those cases when, before the abortion was completed, an alive infant was suddenly
in the room. It was disposed of as a horrified nurse who was not necessarily pro-life followed the doctors'
orders to put the baby in a pail or otherwise get rid of the child.
Obama:
The Sermon on the Mount Justifies Same-Sex Unions. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a crowd at
Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support
for legal recognition of same-sex unions. He also told the crowd that his position in favor of legalized
abortion does not make him "less Christian."
Obama's
Bible Defense of Same-Sex Unions Wrong, Experts Say. Kiera McCaffrey, director of communications
for the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said it is a mistake for Obama to look to the Bible as
a playbook for his political aspirations. "It seems pretty bogus using (the Bible) to justify civil
unions," McCaffrey told Cybercast News Service. "He should be using secular reasons to back it up.
"He can search the whole Bible and not find anything that justifies gay marriage or same-sex unions," she said.
Media silent on Obama's controversial
interpretation of scripture. Senator Obama (D-Illinois) boldly declared in a campaign speech
recently that states should legalize "same-sex unions" for homosexuals. "If people find that controversial
then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount," says Obama. "Which I think is, in my mind, for
my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans." Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Media
Institute, says the major television networks and most major newspapers did not report on Obama's remarks, which
Knight says amount to a severe distortion of scripture.
Why
Does Obama Hate Marriage?. Specifically Barack Obama wishes to pass "ENDA" the employment
non-discrimination act. Or so it's called. What it really consists of is the most diabolical way
ever conceived to punish every voice in America, who under present law, have every right, to speak to their
houses of worship, family, and spouse as to the scientific, mental health, and diseased ridden drawbacks of
engaging in homosexual behavior. ... ENDA would directly challenge and seek to limit religious expression,
doctrine, theology, and practice. Senator Barack Obama knows this, and supports it with all his might.
Barack
Hussein Obama Refused: "I Did Not Want To Concede". As an Illinois state senator, Barack
Hussein Obama refused to support legislation to protect babies that survived late-term abortions, claiming "I
did not want to concede." To what was Obama referring? His statement was in reference to babies that
were fully outside their mothers' wombs. Thus, Obama did not want to concede the fact that babies who
survived a late term abortion were in fact "persons." He was the only senator of the Democrat Party to
speak against baby protection legislation. He was the only legislator from either side of the political
isle that took his position.
Obama
is no moderate: His radical position on 'abortion' after birth. [Scroll down] So,
what are we to make of Obama's votes against protecting the right to life for living babies who have survived
attempted abortions? Such babies are sometimes born alive as a result of late-term induced labor
abortions, often sought when babies are believed (sometimes in error) to have genetic defects such as Down
syndrome. Earlier this decade, such living, breathing, babies who survived labor were
"shelved" — left to die and disposed of with other medical waste, or were "aborted" —
killed outside the womb. The practice was ultimately banned by unanimous Congressional votes, as even
the most pro-abortion Senate Democrats — including every defender of partial-birth
abortion — recognized that killing these breathing babies is no longer abortion in any real
sense. It crosses the line; it is infanticide. Yet, incredibly, Obama repeatedly worked to
deny these living babies any right to life.
Small Church's Obama Sign Causes Big Controversy.
The sign in front of a small church in a small town is causing a big controversy in Jonesville, S.C. Pastor
Roger Byrd said that he just wanted to get people thinking. So last Thursday, he put a
new message on the sign at the Jonesville Church of God. It reads: "Obama, Osama, hmm, are they
brothers?" Byrd said that the message wasn't meant to be racial or political. "It's simply to cause
people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not
believe in Jesus Christ," he said.
The Audacity of Death:
According to Barack Obama, Gianna Jessen shouldn't exist. Miss Jessen is an exquisite example of what
antiabortion advocates call a "survivor." Well into her third trimester of pregnancy, Gianna's biological
mother was injected with a saline solution intended to induce a chemical abortion at a Los Angeles County abortion
center. Eighteen hours later, and precious minutes before the abortionist's arrival, Gianna emerged.
Premature and with severe injuries that resulted in cerebral palsy. But alive. Had the abortionist
been present at her birth, Gianna would have been killed, perhaps by suffocation. … As an Illinois state
senator, Barack Obama twice opposed legislation to define as "persons" babies who survive late-term abortions.
Reaction to Obama — babies are God's
gift, not a 'punishment'. Pro-life advocate Wendy Wright says presidential candidate Barak Obama's recent
comment that he wouldn't want his daughters to be "punished with a baby" reveals much about where the Democrat stands on
the issue of the sanctity of all human life — and shows his true persona.
The Editor says...
Senator Obama's words directly contradict the Bible, which says,
"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
When
Will We Admit the Truth About Barack Obama? Notice he mentioned "religion" in the same breath
as "guns" and "antipathy to people," sandwiched right in between the two. It's hard to escape the
conclusion that he draws an equivalency among those things, which speaks volumes. If you're a person of
faith, you understand that we're supposed to cling to religion. After all, if you are serious about your
faith, you must believe it is the Truth and that it is God's will that you should practice it. And why
wouldn't you have the Truth at the center of your life? The only kind of person who wouldn't have this
perspective is one who has little or no faith.
Obama Nation dot com: Obama claims to stand for justice
but neglects to try to stop abortion. The purpose of this website is to expose the hypocrisy of
Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama. For the sake of our nation and our progeny, Sen. Barack
Hussein Obama must not become President of the United States.
Barack Obama celebrates birth of Roe vs. Wade abortion
decision. [Scroll down] So instead today [1/22/2010] the Democratic chief executive
issued a special statement celebrating the 37th birthday of the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade abortion
decision. He particularly hailed the hallmark decision's granting of the "fundamental constitutional
right to choose whether to have an abortion."
Obama Is No Joshua.
Obama can call himself anything he likes, but there is a clear requirement for one to qualify as a Christian and Obama
doesn't meet that requirement. One cannot deny central tenets of the Christian faith, including the deity and
uniqueness of Christ as the sole mediator between God and Man and be a Christian. Such people do have a label
applied to them in Scripture. They are called "false prophets."
Carter,
Obama, and the Evangelicals. [Obama's] strategy is clear — talk selectively about
elements of the Biblical message that resonate with everyone (help those hurting and in need — DUH),
while ignoring other vital aspects of scripture — things like righteousness and that "minor"
matter of individual salvation. … But quoting stuff out of context is commonplace among politicians and
spin-doctors. Why is this kind of thing effective with people who should know better — those
who profess to believe the Bible and follow Jesus?
Obama
Addresses His Faith. Of the two presumptive nominees for president, Obama has been far more outspoken about
his religious beliefs than Sen. John McCain. Evangelical Christian leaders have remained skeptical, however, that
Obama's faith comports with their own, especially given his support for gay and abortion rights.
Obama:
committed to doing "the Lord's work". Sen. Barack Obama declared Saturday [7/5/2008] to a roaring crowd of religious
African-Americans at the America's Center that they should have no doubt of his commitment to his Christian faith, his nation or
his political principles.
The Editor says...
First of all, why does the great post-racial unifier make fund-raising speeches in all-black churches? Second, if Senator McCain had
said he was just doing "the Lord's work", the press would have responded with a week of mocking derision. And
finally, if Mr. Obama is a Christian, why does his voting record look like that of a baby-killing Marxist?
Obama says America is 'no longer
Christian'. Some have been taking issue with largely unnoticed comments made last year by Sen.
Barack Obama declaring the U.S. is "no longer a Christian nation" but is also a nation of others, including
Muslims and nonbelievers. The comments have been recently recirculating on Internet blogs. "Whatever
we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation,
a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers," Obama said during a
June 2007 speech available on YouTube.
A
Closer Look At Saddleback, Obama's Faith. The Obama campaign document titled "Unfit for
Publication" focuses on whether Mr. Obama was in Rev. Jeremiah "God d--- America" Wright's church on one
specific day during one of Rev. Wright's anti-America rants, and doesn't explain why Mr. Obama was there
sopping up anti-America bigotry and racism for 20 years. It doesn't explain why someone hearing
constant anti-American propaganda wouldn't immediately leave the church.
Not that I really care all that much, but...
Barack Obama's web site says that he "is a
committed Christian." So, just out of curiosity, where does Senator Obama go to church, now that he has
split with the TUCC?
Obama Re-invents his Trinity
Church History. He did not indicate any scheduling problems or absences back in 2004, no scapegoating of his
daughter. Now he has to deal with Pastor Wright controversy and he just dreams up a different
history — and Newsweek helps him along.
Editor's note:
Quoting from the article
in Newsweek: "After he began his run for the
U.S. Senate, he says, the family sometimes didn't go to Trinity for months at a time. The girls have
not attended Sunday school." Is that the behavior of a "committed Christian?"
Obama skips church, heads to gym. Obama
was an infrequent churchgoer on the campaign trail, though he did make a series of appearances in the pews and pulpits
of South Carolina churches ahead of that heavily religious state's primary. The issue of where he worships is, of
course, fraught. For about two decades, Obama and his family attended Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.
The New Messiah: Workout versus Worship.
It is easier to say that I am a Christian than to be one. And Obama? He attends church seldom and does not
participate in the Gospel Life, the Communion of Saints, and Sacramental living. This is quite different than
that public persona who carried his Bible to church services, or made grandiose speeches from a pulpit during the
campaign. What cheek! What chutzpah! What sacrilege! Invoking the name of Jesus does not
make one a Christian anymore than honking makes one a goose. Barak (sic) Obama, it seems to me, neither
talks the talk nor walks the walk.
Lack of
attendance at a Christmas service shows Barack Obama's church dilemma. Barack Obama has long
stressed the importance of religion in his life. But as his fellow Christians around the world attended
Christmas services on Wednesday and Thursday, the president-elect and his family remained sequestered at
their vacation compound on the windward coast of Oahu.
He can't make it to church, but he can always find a gymnasium. Barack Obama shapes
up to be a sporting leader. Obama has spent almost every day working out obsessively in the gym while preparing
for his inauguration on January 20 — granting himself a day off only at Christmas.
Life without a church community 'difficult': Obama.
President-elect Barack Obama, who last year quit his church over inflammatory remarks by its former pastor,
said he finds life without a spiritual community "difficult," and said he and wife Michelle plan to step up
their search for a place of worship.
Nearly a year later, Obamas still looking for a
church home. Nearly a year after a painful break from his Chicago church, President Barack Obama and
his family are considering joining several churches of various denominations in the nation's capital but have yet to
settle on one, and aides said that they're unlikely to decide before Easter.
The Editor says...
It must be difficult to find an America-hating black separatist cult like
the TUCC. But there aren't
that many churches in the District of Columbia. Pick one. Even Bill Clinton managed to go to
church every Sunday (while he was president) and he made sure everybody saw him waving his Bible in the
air. Since Mr. Obama's church attendance is just for show, it doesn't really matter which church
he selects.
Churches
vie to be Obamas' spiritual home. Aides to President Obama are quietly checking out local churches to find
his new spiritual home, a delicate, complex task that must balance Obama's public profile, security needs, and personal
beliefs against a discreet but intense competition among ministers to bring the first family to their pews.
When Will Obama Go to Church?
President Obama has not attended church services on any of the 11 Sundays since he took office, despite his pledge to
find a new church after quitting Trinity United nearly a year ago because of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's incendiary
rhetoric. "We probably won't make any firm decision on this until January, when we know what our lives our
going to be like," Obama told reporters last May at a press conference that he called to announce his break with
Trinity.
Church for Obamas on
Easter. President Obama and his family are looking for a new church, but his decision represents
more than merely settling on a pew. The Obamas planned to attend Easter services Sunday, which would mark
the president's first visit to a Washington church since taking office in January.
The Editor says...
Actually it has been a lot longer than that. What church has Obama attended — even
once — since he left the TUCC?
Obama Family Attends
Easter Service at St. John's. The Obama family today [4/12/2009] attended an Easter Service at St. John's
Episcopal Church, a very traditional choice for the holiday as nearly every president since James Madison has worshipped
at the historic church that sits across from the White House.
Is
Obama Hypocritical To Put His Dog Over Dogma. On Easter Sunday, President Obama successfully concluded
his long search for a new White House dog but made no progress in his simultaneous quest for a new church for his
family. Could the contrasting status regarding the First Family's two most publicized private decisions
indicate that the President actually cares more about canine companionship than religious commitment?
Would a "committed Christian" president say this? Not
a Christian nation, Mr. President? President Obama told a news conference in Turkey last week
that America "is not a Christian nation," thus demonstrating that it is indeed possible for a Harvard Law graduate to be
correct strictly as a matter of law and otherwise completely out to lunch on the facts of history.
Can religious leaders
faithfully serve the president and God at the same time? The administration plans to open the flood
gates of federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research and, in all likelihood, abortion, trampling the moral
convictions of millions of ordinary Americans. A revamped faith-based initiative, which would deny the right
of charities to consider religious commitment in hiring decisions, threatens to become a protocol for secularization.
The president's education proposal throws hundreds of millions of dollars at failing public schools, but rejects vouchers
for children from poor families to help them escape these mismanaged monstrosities and attend private religious schools.
In short, much of Obama's political vision contradicts the religious ideals of his prayer partners and the constituencies
they supposedly represent.
Obama's Moral Slide Rule.
In President Barack Obama's moral and constitutional universe, unfettering abortion and coddling terrorists trump innocent
life. But most Americans reject his anti-life calculations. Candidate Obama promised Planned Parenthood that he
would "go on offense" by signing the "Freedom of Choice Act" as his first act as president. It would put millions of
additional lives at risk by eliminating all federal and state regulations of abortion, including bans on late term and
partial birth abortion. If these barbaric procedures are not torture, nothing is.
Instead of going to church... Obama gets in a round of golf on a sunny
morning. President Barack Obama took advantage of the summer weather in Washington on Sunday [4/26/2009] to
play a round of golf.
Obama
golfs fourth week straight. Barack Obama hit the links again on Sunday, making it four straight weeks
where the president has worked on his golf game. This week, Obama played at Andrews Air Force Base.
The Obamas Find a
Church Home — Away from Home. Now, in an unexpected move, Obama has told White House aides that instead
of joining a congregation in Washington, he will follow in George W. Bush's footsteps and make his primary place of
worship Evergreen Chapel, the nondenominational church at Camp David.
Barack Obama still looking for church.
The White House said Monday that President Barack Obama continues "to look for a church home," and said a magazine report
that he has stopped is erroneous. White House deputy press secretary Jen Psaki said by e-mail: "The president
and first family continue to look for a church home. They have enjoyed worshiping at Camp David and several other
congregations over the months, and will choose a church at the time that is best for their family."
Meet
the new First Pastor. Time magazine's web site reported Monday that the Obamas had decided on the
Evergreen Chapel as their church after visiting or sending emissaries to a variety of Washington-based churches.
A few hours later, the White House put out a statement debunking that story. "The president and first
family continue to look for a church home," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "They have enjoyed
worshipping at Camp David and several other congregations over the months, and will choose a church at the
time that is best for their family."
The Editor says...
The Camp David arrangement has one obvious advantage: It is completely out of sight of the public.
And the news media certainly won't snitch on him if he skips church. So unless Mr. Obama is spotted
somewhere else on Sunday mornings (e.g., on a golf course or basketball court), who will know whether he
actually attends the Camp David church or not?
Obama hasn't
yet picked a church for his family. President Barack Obama says he is taking his time picking
a church because his choice will undergo political scrutiny. Obama told reporters from religious news
outlets on Thursday [7/2/2009] that he hasn't yet selected a place to worship in Washington but has attended
services at the presidential retreat at Camp David.
The Editor says...
Obama will keep shopping for a church until the news media quit asking about it.
Who needs a church when you have so few flaws? Asked
What He Doesn't Like About Himself, President Obama Cites His Golf Game. In his first interview with
Russian media, President Obama was asked, "what don't you like about yourself?" The president responded, "I
have been playing golf lately, and I don't like my golf swing."
The Editor says...
That explains why he spends Sunday mornings on the golf course instead of in church. His golf swing is
a greater concern.
Is it up to her? First Lady's Office Mum on When
Obamas Will Pick A Church to Attend. The White House has told CNSNews.com that First Lady Michelle
Obama is in charge of handling questions from the press about whether and when the Obama family will join and
attend a church in Washington. But repeated requests to her press office asking for a response to that
question have gone unanswered. Although President Obama has not had difficulty selecting a golf course
on numerous Sundays since he took the oath of office, choosing a church has resulted in a wide range of
statements on the subject, from Obama himself as well as White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Joshua
DuBois, director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
Five times a day? Obama:
I used to pray every night — now I pray ALL the time. The leader of the free world must
bear a bit more responsibility in his every day life than most of us do. ... Mr Obama has admitted that
while he used to pray every night, he now prays all the time — because, he
admitted, 'I've got a lot of stuff on my plate'.
Obama plays golf... again.
President Obama has become quite the golf fanatic since he began his presidency. The commander in chief
is out on the links again today [7/26/2009], playing a round at Andrews Air Force Base. This is the 10th time
in as many weeks that Obama has found time to squeeze in some golf (all weekends, except for one Monday.)
Steady
Course: Obama Golfs at Fort Belvoir. After returning to the White House this afternoon [9/6/2009]
from Camp David where the first family spent the last days of vacation, President Barack Obama promptly
left the wife and kids for an afternoon at Fort Belvoir to play — you guessed it — a
round of golf.
Obama
Makes a Political Booty Call to the Church. What's this? Obama now needs the Church —
which he's been regularly dissing — to come to his aid and help "prod Congress" to pass his Health
Scare Deform Swill?
The Obama Clergy Call:
"We are God's partners in matters of life and death" Obama told rabbis in an earlier call Wednesday, according
to Ben Smith at Politico.com. Notice that Obama didn't refer to it as "serving" God. Obama is
partnering with God on life and death.
Does our president have a moral compass?
Obama portrays himself as a visionary, able to view the petty disputes that preoccupy the rest of the world
from a higher plane, divorced from anything as banal as America's interest. That posture is offensive
enough. But what if, like so many extreme leftists who came before him, he's just a man without a moral
compass that points anywhere other than in direction of sharing the wealth and increasing government power?
Top Twenty Things
Obama Doesn't Say:
[#8] I heard a great message Sunday morning at church.
[#10] I didn't realize a communist was part of my administration. It won't happen again.
Obama: Homosexual Relationships 'Just as Real and Admirable'
as Heterosexual Marriage. President Obama delivered an unprecedented message to the Human Rights
Campaign Saturday night [10/10/2009]. Sounding more like a homosexual activist than a sitting president,
Obama went well beyond his expected message of "I'm here with you" on the homosexual agenda.
Obamas attend
Episcopal church near White House. President Barack Obama and his family attended Sunday
services [10/11/2009] at St. John's Church, an Episcopal church on Lafayette Square just across the
street from the White House.
Obama
family attends St. John's Episcopal Church. The First Family attended services at the church
nearest the White House Sunday [10/11/2009], but they were no closer to deciding on a permanent place of worship.
The Obamas, who have been without a home church since President Obama broke with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright,
went to St. John's Episcopal Church on the other side of Lafayette Park from the White House.
Obama — Dictator or Presidential Candidate?
It now looks like Obama has confused the roles of dictator and President of a Free World Society. His request
that government officials police the airwaves for any sign of false and misleading ads that do not put him in a
good light with the people is, as Ed Martin, American Issues Project president said, "nothing more than Stalinist,
police state tactics against those who dare to disagree with Barack Obama." Who does Barack Obama think
he is by trying to take away freedom of speech to question whether he is a Christian or not?
Here's a rationalization: Everybody does it. The
Little Church In The East Room. These days, most Americans have moved on from wondering about
Barack Obama's church attendance habits now nearly a year into his presidency. Some of this inattention
is due, no doubt, to the swirl of events, but a measure of it is likely because Mr. Obama is demonstrating
a kind of ambivalence to church attendance that has become par for the presidential course over the years
(though with some exception, e.g., Jimmy Carter).
Would a Christian president allow this? Transvestites,
Mao And Obama Ornaments Decorate White House Christmas Tree. Why let a holiday season come
between the White House and making some political statements? The White House pegged controversial
designer Simon Doonan to oversee the Christmas decorations for the White House. Mr. Doonan, who is
creative director of Barney's New York has often caused a stir with his design choices. ... For this year's
White House, he didn't disappoint.
White
House Christmas Decor Featuring Mao Zedong Comes Under Fire. Critics of President Obama are
setting their sights on the official White House Christmas Tree, which features controversial ornaments
including an orb depicting Mao Zedong and another showing drag queen Hedda Lettuce.
Obama Chooses Christmas Eve as Night of
Darkness For Free World. The elephant in our living room is what moseyed in when the mainstream
media took a holiday and the mask of President Barack Obama began to crack. How long have we known in
our hearts that Obama is not an American? How long have we known that even though he professes to be
one, Obama is not a Christian, nor even a Christian sympathizer and that his actions over the last year prove
he is not a benevolent president. Obama wants a healthcare bill that is signed, sealed and delivered on
Christmas Eve. Obama wants to ruin America and the Free Enterprise system that made America what it is.
No
Churchgoing Christmas for the First Family. [Scroll down] But there's one common Christmas
practice not on the First Family's schedule: a visit to Christmas Eve church services. Church, in
fact, has been a surprisingly tough issue for the Obamas. ... [W]hile the First Family intended to find a local
church to attend when they moved to Washington, concerns about crowds and displacing regular worshippers has
prevented them from finding a new religious home during their first year here.
The Editor says...
What Christian stays away from church because his presence might "displace regular worshippers"? Did any previous
president have that problem? Does George W. Bush have that problem today in Dallas? Who stays
away from church because the church might become more crowded as a result? Jimmy Carter never did.
After all, don't most church members try to drum up greater attendance at their churches?
Attempting to equate Christianity with socialism... Jesus the socialist.
Apparently not content with his congressional majority that wishes to force Americans on a long march to health
care disaster, President Obama has invoked the name of Jesus to broadcast his gospel of spreading around the
wealth. ... The president spoke of what Jesus "symbolizes for people all around the world," which, he said, "is
the possibility of peace and people treating each other with respect." Then, in the best tradition of a
community organizer, the president said Jesus is about "doing something for other people."
Dog in the Manger on Christmas Eve.
Some media outlets are making a big splash out of the Obamas having no intention of attending Christmas church
services this year. They dithered over Easter services too. Besides if 20 years of Jeremiah Wright's
ranting was lost on them, it's likely that the Birth of Jesus Christ wouldn't grab their attention either.
The
Obamas Hawaii Christmas: Will it Include Church? The Obama family is spending Christmas
and New Years in President Obama's native Hawaii and the schedule for the next few days has no public events.
Obama has no "home" church in Honolulu from his youth, and the Obamas have only attended church services in
Washington three times in the past year.
White(house) Christmas without Christ.
A writer for TIME magazine reports that the president and his family are not attending Christmas services.
Gee, what a surprise! Barack Hussein Obama has consistently shown his lack of understanding of the Holy
Bible, his disdain for the spiritual meaning of Christmas (no Nativity crèche in the White House), and
his propensity to bow to Muslim leaders. But the fact is that NO TRUE CHRISTIAN can support abortion
and the federal funding thereof.
There is no mention of the word "church" in this
account of Obama's Sunday in Hawaii. Basketball,
beach, dinner make up Obama's Sunday. The vacationing President Barack Obama focused yesterday [12/27/2009]
on recreational activities for himself, his family and friends.
Obama, party of 16... POTUS
dines out. The night out capped off an active recreational weekend for the president, who spent
about six hours on the golf course, hit the beach for a family picnic and played basketball with friends and
White House staff.
Satire: How I Spent My Hawaiian
Vacation. On Christmas morning, I did what most American dads do — I got up
at 6:30 a.m. and headed for some body-sculpting. Even though Michelle told the press she
got me several things for Christmas, turns out we aren't even exchanging any gifts... so, she was
either making the whole thing up or taking back everything she bought for me. What's more,
she asked me in front of Oprah what I got her this year — I told Oprah I give "nicer stuff
than I get" — but we left out the part about not getting each other anything at all. Nothing
says Merry Christmas more than skipping out on church and no presents for your wife.
As president, Obama stopped going to church. Obama and
his family left the White House only twice in 2009 to attend worship services in Washington, raising questions
about the role of faith in the life of the president who made Christianity a cornerstone of his political
ascent but was also burned by his pastor of 20 years during the presidential campaign.
It appears that Obama only goes to church when he is going to be the featured speaker. Obama
speaks from pulpit, noting progress and difficulty in America. The president, who doesn't
frequently attend church in Washington and has not found a permanent congregation in the capital, joined
services [1/17/2010] at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church along with First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and
Sasha.
ABC
Sticks to Obama Staffers and Friends on Church Avoidance in Year One. The Obama family's
continued lack of church-going in Washington was spun by ABCNews.com into something cute and positive... No one
in the ABC piece is allowed to question if Obama now has a phobia about church attendance due to his 20-year
membership in the church of radical-left Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Dwyer can't even bring himself to mention
Wright's name, only that Obama quit "Chicago's embattled Trinity United Church of Christ." He couldn't
get any more specific than that.
Obama's
spirituality is largely private, but it's influential, advisers say. Every morning, sometimes as
early as 5:30 a.m., a short religious passage comes across President Obama's BlackBerry, sent by one of
his aides. At other moments, Obama prays privately, his advisers said. And when he takes his
family to Camp David on the weekends, a Navy chaplain ministers to them, with the daughters attending a form
of Sunday school there. More than a year into his presidency, Obama has not chosen a church in
Washington, and has attended services just four times.
The Editor says...
This puff piece in the Post is clearly an attempt to paint Obama's alternative (religious) lifestyle
as morally equivalent to regular attendance at church. What does "a form of Sunday school" mean?
Obama brags about having "faith", but the word "Christian" does not appear in this article.
Chicken
soup for the ever prayerful presidential soul. [Scroll down] The Washington Post made such an
attempt the same day as the Prayer Breakfast speech: "Every morning, sometimes as early as 5:30 a.m., a
short religious passage comes across President Obama's BlackBerry, sent by one of his aides. ... At other moments,
Obama prays privately, his advisers said." So another Washington cliche is observed: The man's faith is
private, which is why we're talking about it in The Washington Post.
Obama and the Horizontal
Axis of Faith: Once again the National Prayer Breakfast has taken place, and again the Obama
administration has taken a swipe at religious belief. ... Obama's address exhibits a characteristic of the
left's view of religion: sacrificing the vertical axis of faith (the praise and rightful worship of God)
for an exaggerated emphasis on a vague understanding of the horizontal axis of faith (love of neighbor).
I have a dream, too.
Obama is all about deception as a disciple of Saul Alinsky rather than a good-faith problem-solver as a disciple of Jesus
Christ, despite his profession to be a Christian. The President favors appeasing Islamic Jihadists and apologizing to
Muslims worldwide for America's greatness and generosity. ... Claiming to be a Christian, Obama seems to oppose them at
every turn. He had the symbols of Jesus for his speech at Georgetown University covered up and opposed the Catholic
Church's anti-abortion stance during his speech at Notre Dame.
Obama's phony faith:
Barack Obama routinely laced his campaign speeches with words and phrases that resonated with voters, particularly
those who practiced their faith more often than others in the body politic. ... His courtship of religious
groups in the 2008 race — the most extensive ever by a Democratic candidate for president-paid off
on election day. But that was so 2008. The campaign is over-and so, seemingly, is his embrace of
Christianity.
Obama's
spiritual life takes more private turn. He named a best-selling book after a pastor's sermon and
was outspoken as a candidate about the value of faith in public life. ... But since President Obama took
office a year ago, his faith has largely receded from public view.
Our Last "Christian" President?
Christians used to have a biblical worldview — but now a great number of those who identify
themselves as 'Christian' have ambivalence about abortion, same sex marriage, sexual promiscuity, and
sound doctrine. We live in a post-modern, post-Christian world in which the worldview is shaped more by
the many colors of our culture than the black and white of God's word. Whoever leads this nation and
professes their Christianity while not challenging those laws and morays which are an anathema to God
cannot be truly born again. It's easy, though, in America today, to have it both ways. You
can sew the label of Christ on your garments but that doesn't mean you are clothed in the grace of Jesus
Christ and bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Obama and Charity:
[President Obama links] his faith to his policies. "God's grace," he said, "is expressed through ... the
efforts of our entire government." The question, then, is whether Obama's faith in a tender, loving
bureaucracy (aka entitlements) is consistent with his professed faith in Jesus Christ. The answer is
found quite readily in basic elements of Judeo-Christian charity. The Second Letter to the Corinthians,
for example, reads: "Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly
or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." "Under compulsion," of course, is precisely
the way entitlements are funded.
The Subtext of the
Obama-Israel Dispute: By trying to limit Jewish residency in Jerusalem, President Obama plays
into this de-Judification of Jerusalem and poses a threat to both Judaism and Christianity.
If Obama were a Christian, would he act like this? No
media at Obama abortion-order signing. A day after a lavish bill signing White House ceremony on
health care reform, President Obama will sign an executive order barring the law from allowing federally funded
abortion, but he'll do so behind closed doors and with no media allowed. ... Not even a photographer will be
allowed into the Oval Office to capture the moment.
President Obama
says First Family won't join a D.C. church. [Scroll down] In an article on February 22,
2010, "Obama's spiritual life takes more private turn," the Boston Globe put the number of President Obama's
Washington, D.C. church attendances as President to that point at four. It is not clear if that number
included the President Elect and Mrs. Obama's attendance at a prayer service at St. John's on the morning of
January 20, 2009, several hours before Mr. Obama was sworn in as President.
Easter
at Allen Chapel for first family. The first family attended Easter services Sunday [4/4/2010]
at Allen Chapel, an African Methodist Episcopal church in Southeast Washington, a community that was struck
by violence recently.
Radicals to rule us all.
[Chai R.] Feldblum, a lesbian activist at Georgetown Law Center who has said she cannot think of a single
instance in which religious freedom would trump "gay rights," is the newest commissioner on the five-member
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). That's the agency that enforces federal civil rights
laws in the workplace. Ms. Feldblum once said the culture war could be resolved in a simple manner:
"Gays win, Christians lose."
The Editor asks...
Would a Christian appoint a person with that viewpoint to any position?
Is Obama a Christian Fraud?
The increasingly notorious lack of church involvement or public religious observance by the United States'
First Family has led one Christian organization to question the level of dedication President Obama truly
feels to the religious identity that once lent such appeal to his campaign image.
The Black Church's
Commitment to Obama. Ninety-six percent of black voters, many of whom are Christians, cast
their votes for Barack Obama. I question: Did your desire to see a black man in the White House
trump your commitment to Christ and Christian values and principles? ... My family and most of my black
friends are Christians striving to live lives which honor Christ. And yet, there is a huge disconnect
between their Christianity and their irrational, blind, and near-idol-worship of Obama. Will the truth
about Obama make a difference? For some, I think not. For those of you who value your commitment
to Christ more than your loyalty to skin color, here are a few facts.
Does Obama Hate Black
People? With his actions as an Illinois state senator, U.S. senator, and now president, Barack Obama
has rightfully earned his title as the most pro-abortion politician in American history, but a congressional report
asserts that his advocacy for a new abortion policy in his "home country of Kenya" (according to Michelle Obama) may
have broken the law. ... Under the Siljander Amendment, no funds for foreign assistance may be used to lobby for or
against abortion, and [Congressman Chris] Smith has discovered that the Obama Administration has spent over
$10 million to promote the new Kenyan constitution.
Obama, Proclaiming LGBT Pride Month, Pushes
Repeal of DOMA. Citing his commitment to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA),
President Obama on Friday [5/28/2010] issued a proclamation declaring June 2010 "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
and Transgender Pride Month." The president also emphasized his intention to secure "adoption
rights" for same-sex couples and end both employment discrimination against LGBT individuals as well as
the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) compromise that bars homosexuals from serving openly in the military.
Obama and
Pelosi Hijack Christianity. [In the 2008 election season,] then-Senator Barack Obama claimed that
Christian Right leaders had "hijacked" Christianity. Hijacked? How dare any politician claim that a
group of clergymen upholding the traditional beliefs of the Christian faith is "hijacking." Yet after
winning the White House, President Obama showed the audacity to claim a biblical mandate for his agenda.
On August 19, 2009, the president held a conference call with Christian clergy, urging them to endorse his
healthcare legislation as a moral issue, and claiming that their Christian duty to care for their brother
obligated them to support him. Now that is what hijacking Christianity looks like.
Islam:
Antithetical to Religious Freedom. Barack Obama's religious practices have raised questions
about his affiliation with Christianity. For twenty years, he attended the church of controversial
former Muslim Reverend Jeremiah Wright. ... Since becoming president, Obama stopped attending church, even
on Christmas day, and specifically requested that no religious decorations grace the White House tree, which
featured an ornament with the image of Mao Tse-Tung. In 2009 and 2010, much to the consternation of
American Christians, Obama canceled the White House National Day of Prayer ceremonies.
Do Christians Who Voted for Obama Believe His
Policies are Biblical? Perhaps many Christians think their faith can't influence casting votes
in government elections. But what fruit has such political agnosticism borne? Are believing
Barack-boosters now proud of themselves? All modern Americans have been programmed to unthinkingly
support complete "Separation of Church and State." But consider the results of this lazy theological
notion, as applied to the following subjects. ...
Obama lied, babies died.
It's hard to comprehend that intelligent people believe Obama speaks the truth. A simple question:
If an individual encourages coldly tossing a barely breathing infant into a laundry room to die and uses the
upholding of the original intent to kill the baby as an excuse, is it logical to assume such a person has a
high regard for truth? Barack Obama supports killing the unborn and if by chance the infant should happen
to "burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion" by
refusing to die, Barry disagrees with providing a helpless being medical care. Plain and simple,
Obama is cold and heartless.
Why
is Obama Changing "Freedom of Religion" to "Freedom of Worship"? Last November Obama used the
term "freedom of worship" at the memorial service for the victims of the Ft. Hood shooting. A few
days later he did it again in speeches in both Japan and China. In December Hillary Clinton also used
that terminology three times in a speech at Georgetown University and never once used the phrase "freedom of
religion". In January of this year Clinton used the "freedom of worship" term four times while
addressing senators. ... The response by many religious freedom advocates is fear of what this all means.
Obama
Moves Away From 'Freedom of Religion' Toward 'Freedom of Worship'. The change in
language was barely noticeable to the average citizen but political observers are raising red flags at
the use of a new term "freedom of worship" by President Obama and Secretary Clinton as a replacement
for the term freedom of religion. This shift happened between the President's speech in Cairo
where he showcased America's freedom of religion and his appearance in November at a memorial for the
victims of Fort Hood, where he specifically used the term "freedom of worship." From that
point on, it has become the term of choice for the president and Clinton.
Is the United States
a Christian Nation? In 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama told the Christian Broadcasting Network
that the United States was "no longer just a Christian nation." But a new Gallup poll indicates that
not only is the country Christian, it is overwhelmingly Christian.
Obama No Longer Goes To Church. During the election
cycle, Senator Barack Obama stated, "I've got a wonderful community of people who are praying for me every
day ... but it's not the same as going to church and hearing a choral anthem and a good sermon." One
if left to wonder, what changed after taking over the White House? Where has President Obama's church
commitment gone; is he too busy for church?
He's Not a
Muslim! ("Not that There's Anything Wrong with That") On the one hand, we were told
that Obama's relationship with [Jeremiah] Wright was irrelevant and that he slept through the hateful
messages — and on the other, TUCC was where Obama practiced his professed Christianity and received
inspirations for his writings. ... And through all of this, we were required to have enough suspension of belief
to count Black Liberation Theology as Christian in the first place.
No Baptism Or Renunciation of Islam Required. Obama's Unique Form of 'Christianity'.
We've all heard by now that Obama became a Christian mostly to expedite his political career and that the Trinity
United Church of Christ he joined, presided over by Reverend Jonathan Wright, was not exactly mainstream.
We've heard about Wright's damning of America and we know that the church was — and might still
be — a hot bed of black nationalism. But what is not as well known is that no baptism is
required, nor must Muslims renounce Islam to be accepted as full members in that church.
The myth of
'collective salvation'. President Obama has made no secret of his belief in "collective
salvation"; the religious belief that one cannot achieve salvation by himself, unless he is also concerned
for the the salvation of his neighbors, and society as a whole. By salvation of himself and his neighbors
insert "for the greater good" or "income redistribution", or for that matter, any number of things.
Let Me Translate:
We Don't Believe Him — or You. Memo to the ruling class media: We are not
ignorant or stupid. We've not forgotten Jeremiah Wright. It's not that we don't "know" what faith
Obama subscribes to — it's more that we don't believe him. Or you.
The un-faith of
Obama. All Obama has managed to prove over the past year is his inability to tell the
truth. ... Why wouldn't there be a doubt about his Christian faith? He's already openly declared
that America is no longer a Christian nation; he continues to openly praise Islam; he bows to Muslim leaders;
he claims that the Muslim call to prayer is "the most beautiful sound in the world;" he regularly quotes from
the Koran and cites it for directing his life; and, he publicly called Christians derogatory names such as
"bitter clingers" for holding fast to their Bibles. Moreover, unlike people who change their names upon
their conversion to Islam, Obama did not change his name upon his conversion to Christianity.
Obama's
credibility is the big issue in religion poll. Thomas Lifson and Byron York have convincingly
demonstrated that the President's own behavior is the source of the one-in-five Muslim answer and that such
an opinion is rational given the evidence. In contrast, the mainstream media's response was a predictably
arrogant dismay that Americans do not believe the President is a Christian, given that the Administration has
said he "is obviously a Christian." ... [But] maybe six-in-ten Americans don't believe the President is a
Christian precisely because he claims to be so.
Obama's True Religion: [Scroll
down] His conscience is governed by the basest sense of self-centered and self-serving egotistical
emotion. And although President Obama does comes across as a Muslim to many people, the only real
similarity he has with them is sharing the same attitude Muslim extremists have toward America. Obama
does not now, nor will he ever, practice any religion remotely affiliated with worshiping a power higher than
himself. No, America. Barack Obama's true religion is not Muslim or Christian — his
true religion is himself.
Obama:
Tee-ing off the nation, one Sunday at a time. Another Sunday, another missed opportunity for
President Obama to prove to America he's not a Muslim. But instead of attending church services at one
of the dozens and dozens of quaint, island Christian churches yesterday morning, the commander in chief hit
Our Lady of the Fairways, aka the Vineyard Golf Club, yet again, to play 18.
Obama:
Muslim Missionary? (Part 2). Last week, the media, White House and nation were in a
hullabaloo over a Pew Research Center poll that revealed that 1 in 5 Americans believes President
Barack Obama is a Muslim. The poll received so much attention and response that the White House released
a rebuttal reiterating that President Obama is "a committed Christian." The fact is Americans are more
baffled now by Obama's personal religion than they were when he first came into office.
How Christian is Obama?
With all the discussions about whether or not the President is a Christian, I did something I'd never expected
to do: I went to the library, checked out a copy of The Audacity of Hope, and read it.
Obama wants no association with Christianity
Air Force Retracted Invitation for Conservative
Leader to Speak at Prayer Luncheon. The U.S. Air Force admits that the chaplain's office at
Andrews Air Force Base retracted an invitation to Family Research Council President Tony Perkins — a
former Marine officer — to speak at a prayer luncheon held at the base on Thursday [2/25/2010]
after the conservative leader criticized President Obama's efforts to end "Don't Ask Don't Tell" —
the military policy on homosexuality.
'Tis The
Season For The Tyranny Of The Minority. President Obama said on a visit to Turkey in April that
Americans "do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Muslim nation, but rather a nation of citizens
who are, uh, bound by a set of values." ... This statement was reiterated several times between then and April
and would seem to indicate that the president is downplaying the role of Christianity in our country.
Away with the manger.
Even in Obama's superstar Christmas interviews with Oprah and Gloria Estefan, there were discussions about
Santa, Christmas trees, ornaments, gingerbread houses and even their dog's Christmas stocking. Obama
even gave a Christmas shout-out to all Hispanics. But there was not one discussion of religion or a
hint of the real reason for the season.
Georgetown Says It Covered Over
Name of Jesus to Comply With White House Request. Georgetown University says it covered over
the monogram "IHS" — symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ — because it was inscribed
on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday [4/14/2009] and the
White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.
Covering up the cross. What's wrong, what's
tasteless, what's impudent, is to request that a religious institution hide its religion. That strikes us as
unnatural, artificial, and in the end an act of intolerance, for it requires others to sacrifice their integrity to
please our absolute devotion to our own, uncompromising creed — in this case, a blank, official, established
secularism. ... A gracious guest, and Mr. Obama was the guest in this instance, does not begin his visit by
redecorating his host's house. The sight of the university's seal as he spoke should not have offended,
for it is the university's own, not a government establishment of religion.
Georgetown
University Hid Religious Symbols at White House Request. Georgetown University hid a religious
inscription representing the name of Jesus during President Obama's address there Tuesday, FOXNews.com has
confirmed, because White House staff asked the school to cover up all religious symbols and signs while the
president was on stage.
WH: No
Religious Cover-up at Georgetown. The White House is taking some heat today from
conservative and Catholic bloggers who noticed that while President Obama delivered remarks on
the economy at Georgetown University Tuesday, a monogram that is a symbol for the name Jesus was
covered up behind him. CNSNews.com, a conservative web site affiliated with the Media Research
Center, reported that the gold "IHS" monogram inscribed in Georgetown's Gaston Hall was covered by a
piece of black-painted plywood.
Obama White
House ordered coverup of religious symbols for Georgetown speech. Surprising word today that
President Barack Obama's White House asked Georgetown University to cover all religious symbols at the scene
of the president's economic speech at the Roman Catholic institution Wednesday [4/15/2009]. And the
prestigious Jesuit university agreed. The decision, unnoticed at the time, seems likely to add further
fuel to the ongoing controversy over Obama's upcoming graduation speech at the University of Notre Dame,
where the Jesuit Indiana campus is plastered with numerous religious symbols.
Rendering Unto Caesar.
At the request of the White House, Georgetown University covered up all the symbols in Gaston Hall, before the
Great Man spoke, including IHS, the millennia-old monogram for the name of Jesus Christ. Ignatius of
Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, had adopted the monogram in his seal and it became an emblem of
the Jesuit order.
DNC
Chairman Denies Obama Admin Requested Christ Symbol Cover-Up. Is this the new politics Barack
Obama promised to bring to Washington? His hand-picked DNC Chairman just went on national TV and denied
that the Obama administration requested Georgetown University to cover up the IHS monogram representing the
name of Christ.
Obama
Vetoes Religion in the Public Square. The effort of America's Founders to prevent the establishment
of a state religion has been twisted and reinterpreted to create an increasingly large gulf between religion and
public life. That gulf became even wider this past week, when President Obama's administration asked Georgetown
University to remove all signs and symbols from their hall before the President delivered his speech to the assembly.
The University was only too willing to strip the hall of its religious symbols in order to land such a prominent
speaker. The message was clear: religion has no place in the public square.
When color trumps
Christianity. President Obama hosted a reception at the White House celebrating LGBT (Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender) Pride month. Black Christians should take note and learn a few things about our black
President. As they say, we are what we do. It tells us something that Mr. Obama had no time to host an
event for the National Day of Prayer. Nor did he have time to accept the invitation to convey greetings and
a few remarks to the couple hundred thousand who came to Washington, as they do every January, for the March for
Life. However, the LGBT Pride event did make it onto the president's busy schedule.
Air
Force Denies Request for Flyover at Christian Festival. An Idaho community had secured an Air Force flyover
for its local festival every year for more than 40 years, organizers say, but this year, the Air Force turned the
request down over the festival's religious focus. The God and Country Family Festival in Nampa, Idaho, applied to
the Pentagon for the flyover but was denied in an e-mail, board member Patti Syme told KTBV. Syme said the e-mail
from a defense official informed her the Pentagon prohibited support of special interest groups.
The
White House tries to take the Christ out of Christmas. Did the supposedly proud Christian president
really want to remove the nativity scene from the White House? It's been a fairly standard middle-American
concern for decades that liberals have tried to suck religious holidays of all meaning. I can't imagine what
the president was thinking from either the standpoint of someone who has been at pains to assert he is a believing
Christian or a president simply concerned with practical politics.
N.Y.
Times Downplays 'Non-Religious Christmas' Plans at White House. Maybe they didn't know it, but
The New York Times left a Christmas bomb in paragraph 12 of its syrupy Sunday story on Desiree Rogers, the
bumbling Obama social secretary. ... In a description of how Rogers would make sure the White House was "Obama-tized,"
Stolberg noted Rogers would bend tradition to make Christmas much more secular in the new era.
Obama's
'Most Important Message'? As I wrote last week, I knew that President Barack Obama's Christian
message in his Christmas address was going to be the weakest in presidential history. But never did I expect
to hear him dodge children on the main message of Christmas and then teach them a revised version.
Disinvited.
When the Air Force chaplain's office rescinded its invitation to Tony Perkins to keynote a military families'
prayer luncheon, it should have been over something truly dreadful. Disinvitation is serious business;
usually, once an offer has been made and accepted, hospitality is supposed to kick in. So what did
Perkins, a former Marine and president of the Family Research Council, do to offend the Air Force chaplaincy?
With 'Social Justice'
You Don't Get Egg Roll. Since Obama thinks that the United States is no longer a Christian
nation, you have to wonder how long the White House will continue calling it an "Easter Egg Roll." Maybe
next year they'll call it "The White House Diversity and Tolerance Non-Discrimination Spring Roll," and only
kids from parochial schools will be uninvited.
Where are the 'separation of church and state' people now? The Green Shepherd. If the Obama
administration has its way, the gospel of climate change will be coming to a pulpit near you. That at least
seems to be the dream of the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships — a
25-member group of leaders from across the religious spectrum that is part of the White House Office of
Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The Editor says...
This demonstrates that President Obama wants no association with Christianity, unless he can
use churches to his political advantage.
Obama
Missed a Great Chance. President Obama had a golden Memorial Day opportunity to show the
country that (contrary to his left flank) he is not anti-military and not anti-Christian, by telling
Attorney General Eric Holder to order the Park Service to permit volunteer veterans to replace the
Mojave Cross that was stolen on May 9. But he let the atheists and those who sneer at our
veterans win the day.
President
Obama: Muslim Missionary? Speaking for most Founding Fathers in his day, John Jay, the
first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, appointed by George Washington himself, said, "Providence has
given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of
a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." Two hundred years later, President
Barack Obama has denied America's rich Judeo-Christian heritage before the eyes and ears of other countries,
as he publicly declared in Turkey on April 6, 2009, "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation."
The un-faith of
Obama. In the past year alone he made a big deal out of hosting a celebratory dinner to open the
month of Ramadan — held in the state dining room; he refused to attend the 100th anniversary of the
Boy Scouts (an avowed Christian organization), and, refused to attend the National Day of Prayer because he
claimed to do so would be offensive to non-Christians. News flash Mr. President: your continued
snubbing of all things Christian is highly offensive and troubling to the millions of Christians in America
you seem to hold in contempt.
Obama snubs the National Day of Prayer
Obama to be prayer day
no-show. President Obama is distancing himself from the National Day of Prayer by nixing a
formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning.
All Mr. Obama will do for the National Day of Prayer, which is Thursday [5/7/2009], is sign a proclamation
honoring the day, which originated in 1952 when Congress set aside the first Thursday in May for the
observance.
Obama to
Mark National Day of Prayer Privately. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs defended the Obama
administration's plan to recognize the National Day of Prayer on Thursday with a paper proclamation, rather
than a public event at the White House. "We're doing a proclamation, which I know that many
administrations in the past have done," Gibbs told reporters Tuesday.
Obama's prayer
snub brings reproach. "We are disappointed at the lack of emphasis on prayer at the National
Day of Prayer," James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, told reporters at the Cannon House Office
Building after a three-hour prayer observance. "There are tens of millions of people praying across
this country — 40,000 prayer events taking place today — and yet for the first time since
1993, the White House did not even send a representative of the Cabinet to the National Day of Prayer.
Obama's National Day of Prayer
Proclamation Mentions God Only Once. President Barack Obama issued a proclamation on Thursday
afternoon — as required by federal law — marking the day as National
Day of Prayer, but the proclamation is in contrast to the original proclamation making the first
Thursday in May a national day of prayer and fasting. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said
Obama would issue a proclamation but that he did not plan any public appearances or meetings
with religious leaders as President George W. Bush did each year of his administration.
Dobson: Super Bowl Teams Welcome
at White House, but 'Celebrating Prayer is Ignored'. Evangelical leader Dr. James Dobson said
President Obama's snub of Thursday's National Day of Prayer left Christians "disappointed" — and
a bit puzzled. "When a professional baseball team wins the World Series, or when the Super Bowl is
played, or when college teams win the national championship, they're invited to the White House to
celebrate," Dobson said at a Capitol Hill news conference. "That's important, apparently. But
celebrating prayer, which is our heritage, is ignored."
White House Christmas Decorations? Yes. White House
Christmas Card? No. A Republican lawmaker with a mission to save Christmas is aiming
his latest salvo at President and first lady Obama, who've followed in a recent tradition to eliminate
the mention of Christmas in the White House holiday cards. The card selected by the Obamas
announces: "Season's Greetings." Inside, it reads: "May your family have a joyous
holiday season and a new year blessed with hope and happiness."
Lawmaker Calls for Hearings into Pentagon's 'Politically Correct'
Decisions. A conservative Republican congressman from Georgia is calling for congressional hearings to
investigate actions by the U.S. military in recent weeks to cancel or rescind invitations that had been made to two
prominent conservative Christian leaders — Franklin Graham and Tony Perkins — to speak at military
prayer events.
White House Censoring Christianity?
Two high-profile cancellations by the Pentagon of speeches from prominent Christian leaders have many outraged
over censorship of Christianity by a politically-correct military. Family Research Council President Tony
Perkins and Rev. Franklin Graham both recently had invitations to speak at prayer events hosted by the Air
Force and the Army revoked.
Obama's newpastorSpiritual Advisor: Jim Wallis
Evidently Mr. Wallis is not the pastor of a church, per se, so it is apparently fair to say that
President Obama still does not go to church, and thus it is still reasonable to wonder if Mr. Obama
really is a Christian. Mr. Wallis is part of a group called Sojourners, which appears to be a
group of "community organizers" and anti-war protesters masquerading as a church group.
More problematic pastors for
Obama. The New York Times published an article on the pastors to whom Barack Obama has reached out.
Having thrown his longtime pastor Jeremiah Wright, Junior under the bus during the campaign, when his radical views became
a political problem, he is in need of spiritual counsel or a least cover. The disturbing point is that of the five
pastors listed, Jim Wallis is the only one credited with influencing Obama on policy issues.
Sojourning Socialists. Barack
Obama has joined forces with a white socialist he calls a "good friend" — the Rev. Jim Wallis, founder of
"Sojourners." He too believes in "liberation theology," sans the black nationalism. In fact, Wallis is the
white version of Jeremiah Wright, sans the black rage.
Barack
Obama's Newest Spiritual Advisor: Now that he no longer draws spiritual succor from Jeremiah
Wright — the America-hating, racist demagogue who served as his pastor and spiritual mentor for
twenty years — Barack Obama has turned elsewhere for guidance in the task of carrying out his
political duties while remaining true to his religious values. The most notable of his spiritual
advisors today is his friend of many years, Rev. Jim Wallis, founder of the Sojourners organization. Says
Wallis, "We've [he and Obama] been talking faith and politics for a long time."
Soros Has a Pastor
Close to Obama On His Payroll. The tangled web woven by George Soros served as a safety net for
Barack Obama when he needed rescue from the exposure of Jeremiah Wright as an America-hating radical.
Pastor Jim Wallis lied about receiving money from George Soros's Open Society Institute. His organization,
Sojourners, is a leftist "social justice" type of ministry. He and Sojourners have a history with
Barack Obama that I have been tracking for a few years. When the Jeremiah Wright scandal erupted,
candidate Barack Obama had to find religion — fast. Fortunately for him, he had a backup
pastor in place and ready to go: Jim Wallis.
Censoring
Questions about Obama's Religion. In a major liberal initiative to curtail discussion of President
Obama's religious identity, over 70 Christian leaders and denominational heads have signed a letter saying that
questions about the religious philosophy of the President of the United States should be ignored and suppressed
by the major media. The letter demands that the media "offer no further support or airtime to those who
misrepresent and call into question the President's Christian faith." The apparent initiator of the letter
is Obama associate Jim Wallis of the Sojourners group, a group funded by atheist George Soros.

As I have pointed out elsewhere, Democrats often have
difficulty telling the truth when there is a big political prize at stake. Or any other time. For
example, two of the best known "strangers to the truth" are Bill and
Hillary Clinton. ("It depends upon what the
meaning of the word 'is' is.") Now we have a candidate for the presidency who, besides being a man with
a mysteriously blank record in public office, is supported by throngs of young people who are enjoy his warm
and fuzzy speeches without ever analyzing what he says, or doesn't say. One thing Mr. Obama doesn't talk
about in his speeches is his Muslim background. Apparently he thinks we won't notice. This might
have worked 20 years ago, but now the internet makes it possible to recover information from once thought
to have been thrown down the memory hole. Just ask Senators John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, or Robert Byrd.
Or John McCain, for that matter.
Is it possible that Senator Obama is intentionally, consciously lying about his status as a Muslim? Spend
five minutes on the internet and you'll discover that the Koran says it is a virtue to lie to infidels in
order to deceive them and defeat them in
war.* Osama Bin Laden
declared a holy war on the U.S. years ago.*.
So for the duration of the war, it is a mistake to believe anything a Muslim says. There's a word for
this blatant dishonesty — Al-taqiyya.
Is it hard to imagine that Barack Obama really is a Muslim? We know him by the company he keeps, and if he
shares the views of his wife and his pastor, he is a man who sees America as a villain and a global bully.
Those views would make perfect sense if it turns out that he is in fact a Muslim.
If Barack H. Obama was raised as a Muslim, and his father, step-father and siblings are all Muslims,
then he is a Muslim until he publicly renounces any association with Islam. And with the terrorism threat
level already at "Elevated" he would probably put himself in jeopardy if he made a very public
repudiation of Islam. Apostasy is not something the Muslims take lightly. It would be better
(safer) for him to take his chances with the voters, and keep distracting them with an assortment of
spectacular campaign promises.
Many people believe that this is a ludicrous suggestion because there has been no mention of this idea
on television news programs. But the news media have
been very friendly toward Obama, as pointed out
on another page. And in case you haven't noticed, there are a lot
of other things that the news media haven't reported.
Obama
Birth Certificate Issue More Urgent Than Ever. [Scroll down slowly] Obama denies he's a
Muslim but "the accumulated research from primary sources who knew Obama from his childhood indicate that he
was a devout Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim, the stepson of a devout Muslim and the grandson and namesake
("Hussein") of a devout Muslim. He was registered in school in Indonesia as a Muslim and demonstrated
his ability to chant praise to Allah in impressive Arab-accented tones even as an adult. Just as he has
not disavowed his 'uncle' Jeremiah, neither has he disavowed the Muslim faith that he was born into and
raised in.
Barack Obama
Chamberlain. In Barack Obama, we are witnessing the second coming, not of Christ, but of Neville
Chamberlain himself, the embodiment of appeasement. ... We have now witnessed a supposed "re-booting of America's
image" in the Muslim world as inaugurated by President Obama's much ballyhooed Cairo speech. He and the
First Lady have treated us to Muslim celebrations and declarations in the White House for Ramadan. The
president has hosted an "Entrepreneur Summit" for Muslim leaders. He has issued paeans on the inspiring
splendors of Islam, "one of the world's great religions."
Obama's religion: On March 14th,
2007, the Obama Campaign told the LA Times that Obama was not a "practicing Muslim." But Muslims do not see
practice as key. For them, that Obama was born to a line of Muslim males makes him born a Muslim. Further,
all children born with an Arabic name based on the H-S-N trilateral root (Hussein, Hassan, and others) can be assumed
to be Muslim, so they will understand Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, to proclaim him a born Muslim.
Our First Muslim President.
If it is true that Obama was registered in school as a Muslim when he was a child, he could possibly be charged
with being an apostate from Islam. This could give him a unique chance to speak out about the freedom of
conscience and the human rights of those who leave Islam — for Muhammad, the prophet of Islam,
ordered that apostates from Islam be put to death. ... So is Obama under a death sentence? Probably
not — particularly if he left Islam while still a child.
Barack Obama and Slavery:
Many people seem to the names "Barack" and "Obama" are African names. They are not. Baraq [Barack]
was the name of the winged horse-like creature that took Mohammed to Paradise in the Night Journey. Baraq
can also mean God's blessing. Obama is Swahili for Osama, who was one of Mohammed's chief warriors.
Osama also means lion. Hussein reminds some Americans of Saddam Hussein, and Obama's supporters get upset
if it is used. Hussein was the name of Mohammed's grandson. So Obama's entire name is based upon
Islamic mythology and African conquest. Barack Hussein Obama means [Allah's blessing] [Mohammed's
grandson] [One of Mohammed's finest warriors].
Barack
Obama's Muslim Childhood: Obama asserted in December, "I've always been a Christian," and he has
adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. "The only connection I've had to Islam is that my grandfather
on my father's side came from that country [Kenya]. But I've never practiced Islam." … "Always" and
"never" leave little room for equivocation. But many biographical facts, culled mainly from the American
press, suggest that, when growing up, the Democratic candidate for president both saw himself and was seen
as a Muslim.
Barack Obama's Muslim links: He is the
product of a black Moslem from Kenya, Barrack Hussein Obama, and a white atheist from Kansas, Shirley Ann Dunham,
who met at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. That is why his middle name is the same as Saddam's:
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. His first name is taken from the Islamic term in Arabic for "blessed," baraka,
used in the Koran. His father deserted the family when Barack Jr. was two and returned to Kenya.
His mother then married another Moslem studying at UH, Lolo Soetoro from Indonesia. He moved with his
mother and stepfather to Jakarta when he was six, where he attended a Moslem medressa (religious school).
That makes him a Moslem.
Why Islamists Cheer For
Obama: Earlier this month, Libya's strongman Muammar Khadafi gave an endorsement speech in which
he called Barack Obama a "brother" and expressed his hope that he will "change America from evil to good and
that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other people, especially the Arabs."
A Messiah Manufactured by Marxism.
Time is closing in on the 11th hour of Election '08 but the search for the real Obama is still on. If
Obama steps out of the fog through the scavenger hunt for his birth certificate and unanswered questions
about his alliance to Islam into the Oval office, he will usher in a new socialist America. Concerns
about Obama, the closet Muslim, fit right in with Obama, the Marxist. Marxists, always difficult to
pin down, work hand in hand with radical Islam.
The Evolution of Slick Barry: Barack Obama's campaign said
he never practiced Islam, and has never been a Muslim. However, the LA Times found that Obama was
registered as a Muslim at both private and public schools he attended, and he also studied at his local
Islamic center. His campaign backtracked and confirmed those facts after the LA Times reported them.
People see in Obama
what they want to see — that's a blessing and a curse. Obama is not a Muslim. Nonetheless,
according to a recent Pew research survey, 12% of Americans still believe that he is. Another 10% say they
have "heard different things". This is why the New Yorker cartoon portraying Obama as a flag-burning terrorist
wasn't that funny. For satire to work, it has to be edgy. It fails when it misjudges where the
edge is. When, according to another survey, one in five Democrats with a negative opinion of Obama
believes he is a Muslim, we are not talking isolated pockets but mainstream public opinion.
Republican
Congressman Stands By Obama Comments; McCain Disavows Him. Republican
Representative Steve King of Iowa stood by his controversial comments on Saturday [3/8/2008]
that if Democrat Barack Obama were elected president that Muslim extremists would be
jubilant. … "I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists,
the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in
greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11, because they will declare victory in this war
on terror," King was quoted as saying by The Daily Reporter in Spencer, Iowa.
Letter from Barack Obama on His
Muslim Heritage: "My father was a Muslim and although I did not know him well
the religion of my father and his family was always something I had an interest in. This
interest became more intense when my mother married an Indonesian Muslim man and as a small
child I lived in Indonesia and attended school alongside Muslim pupils. … This is what
I will bring to the office of the Presidency of the United States. I will deal with
Muslims from a position of familiarity and respect and at this time in the history of our
nation that is something sorely needed.
Our First Muslim President.
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday [3/15/2007] that Barack Obama's campaign seems to be modifying its earlier
affirmation that "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian
who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago." In a statement to The Times on Wednesday, the
campaign offered slightly different wording, saying: "Obama has never been a practicing Muslim."
Hillary's team has questions about
Obama's Muslim background. Are the American people ready for an elected president who was
educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage? This is
the question Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's camp is asking about Sen. Barack Obama.
Obama campaign
hires Muslim liaison. Obama's campaign has created a Muslim liaison, according to two sources familiar with
the move. … The job is complicated by the fact that Obama has been forced repeatedly to deny that he is Muslim, a
situation that grates on some Muslim-Americans.
Tracking Down Obama in
Indonesia: I have now spent over twenty years of my life here in Southeast Asia, am well versed with
the culture and speak the language. With regards to Obama's Indonesian past, I now find myself intrigued to
find out more about Obama and his life in Indonesia. Part 2Part 3
Darura: "Darura" in Arabic means
"necessity." The Arabs and Muslims understand this idea. "Necessity" can justify even violating explicit
prohibitions. You may, if starving, eat pork, according to some. You may, if you need to protect the
faith, lie to Infidels — lie about Islam itself, lie about your own belief in Islam.
al-Taqiyya: The word "al-Taqiyya" literally
means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at
a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury."
A one-word translation would be "Dissimulation."
The Art of Al-taqiyya:
Al-taqiyya is a word used for the practice of Muslims blatantly lying to non-Muslims. Muslims consider the act
of Al-taqiyya or lying to non-Muslims to be a good work. Especially if it helps support the war against the
infidel. In case you've forgotten, you are the infidel, so am I, so is each and every American who is not
muslim.
Obama Steers
Clear of Michigan Muslims He May Need to Win State. Muslim- and Arab-Americans represent
4 percent of the vote in Michigan, a battleground in this year's election. Yet Obama, who has
held 13 events in the state during the presidential campaign, hasn't visited a mosque or met with
Muslim leaders.
LA Times' Glowing Coverage Of Obama In Full Throttle.
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would have
been required to study Islam daily in school. He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his
prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam. Obama attended two schools in
Indonesia and in both he was enrolled as a Muslim — but — was he a practicing Muslim? The
evidence seems to show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo were devout Muslims themselves and they raised their
son as such.
Barack Obama's Muslim
religion — again. So why won't Barry just fess up (he was known as Barry Soetoro in
Indonesia) and admit he was a Muslim and let the truth wash away his veneer of lies? No one will hate him for
it. No one really cares except his campaign operation. And him. But the longer he keeps denying
the truth about his past the more people will remain interested.
Opposing viewpoint: Poll: 1 in 10
Get Obama's Religion Wrong. One in 10 voters believes Barack Obama is Muslim, a mistaken
impression that lingers across party lines, a poll showed Wednesday. Fourteen percent of Republicans,
10 percent of Democrats and 8 percent of independents mistakenly think he is Muslim, according to
a survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.
The Editor says...
Not so fast. What if they are not mistaken? Maybe 1 out of 10 are right!
READ THIS: Is Barack Obama a Muslim wolf in
Christian wool? The accumulated research indicates that Obama was in his childhood a devout
Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim, the step-son of a devout Muslim and the grandson and namesake ("Hussein")
of a devout Muslim. He was registered in school as a Muslim and demonstrated his ability to chant praise
to Allah in impressive Arab-accented tones even as an adult. Just as he has not disavowed his "uncle"
Jeremiah [Wright], neither has he disavowed his Muslim faith that he was born into, raised with, celebrated
and never abandoned. He just covered it over with a thin veneer of his own self-styled "Christianity."
Obama and apostasy
from Islam: Barack Obama was born to Muslim father, married to an American atheist. His
father's religion is the reason both his first and middle names, Barack and Hussein, are Islamic in origin.
According to Islamic scripture, one born to a Muslim father is a Muslim. Forever. Because according
to Muslim law and tradition, the penalty for leaving the faith is death. Today, Barack Obama proclaims his
adherence to the Christian faith. This would seem to make him a potential target for death, according to
at least the more militant adherents of Sharia law. Apostasy is a capital offense in several Muslim
countries.
Can a
past of Islam change the path to president for Obama? Although Sen. Barack Obama is a Christian,
his childhood and family connections to Islam are beginning to complicate his presidential ambitions.
The Illinois Democrat spent much of last week refuting unfounded reports that he had been educated in a
madrassa, or radical Islamic school, when he lived in Indonesia as a boy. "The Indonesian school
Obama attended in Jakarta is a public school that is not and never has been a Madrassa," said a statement
put out by the senator's staff.
Also waiting on a nearby sidetrack... Farrakhan:
Stick With Obama. The issue arose Sunday [2/24/2008], when Farrakhan praised Obama
before a large Nation of Islam gathering, even comparing him to the religion's founder, Wallace D.
Fard Muhammad, who Farrakhan claims also had a white mother and black father. "A black man
with a white mother became a savior to us," Farrakhan said Sunday. "A black man with a white
mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall." The Obama campaign moved
quickly to distance itself from Farrakhan.
Obama's
Truthiness About Farrakhan: The question was about Farrakhan as a package deal. Did
Obama accept his support? Did Obama reject his support? So far, no answer. And this was
incredible. Before a national audience, Obama, whose very candidacy has come to symbolize a promise of
"post-racial" "unity" in America, failed to reject the support of arguably the most racist and divisive
figure in America.
Terrorist
Fundraisers for Obama. Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based
Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising
and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest
cause — Barack Obama for President. El-Hady has his own dedicated page on Barack Obama's
official website, chronicling his fundraising on behalf of the Democratic Party presidential candidate.
President
Apostate? As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it
is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he
renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother's Christian background
is irrelevant. ... At the very least, that would complicate the security planning of state visits by President
Obama to Muslim countries, because the very act of protecting him would be sinful for Islamic security guards.
This article was apparently written by a Muslim. Barack Obama — Muslim apostate?
Osama bin Laden must be chuckling in his safe house. After all, the 2008 campaign could very well give Al Qaeda
the ultimate propaganda tool: President Barack Hussein Obama, Muslim apostate. The fact that Senator
Obama — the son of a Muslim father — insists he was never a Muslim before becoming Christian is
irrelevant to bin Laden. In bin Laden's eyes, Obama is a murtad fitri, the worst type of
apostate, because he was blessed by Allah to be born into the true faith of Islam.
Obama Wore Muslim Garb During Kenya
Trip. The resident "experts" at Free Republic are pronouncing this a photoshopped fake. But, oddly enough,
there are photographs of Mr. Obama during his (taxpayer funded) trip to Kenya in August 2006, where he is wearing what
would appear to be the same red shirt, khaki pants and wristwatch.
Update: Obama In Muslim Garb Is An AP
Photograph. A photograph circulating in the Internet of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama dressed in traditional
local garments during a visit to Kenya in 2006 is causing a dustup in the presidential campaign over what constitutes a
smear. The Associated Press photograph portrays Obama wearing a white turban and a wraparound white robe presented to
him by elders in Wajir, in northeastern Kenya.
Please note this much earlier article: WHO provides efforts to rehabilitate Ethiopian people.
U.S. Senator Barack Obama, right, is dressed as a Somali Elder by Sheikh Mahmed Hassan, left, during his visit to Wajir, a rural
area in northeastern Kenya, near the borders with Somalia and Ethiopia. The area is at the epicenter of a severe drought that
has hit the Horn of Africa region, after erratic and insufficient rains during the April-June season.
Obama
and the giant blogosphere conspiracy. His father was a Muslim, as was his stepfather. His
grandfather was a Muslim convert. His wider family appear to have been largely devout Muslims. Yes,
we only know about Obama's early years as a Muslim; and yes, twenty years ago he became a Christian. The
issue, however, is why he has been less than candid about his early background and his family. Indeed,
he appears to have actively deceived the public about it. That is why the blogosphere is so exercised
about it.
The Editor says...
Personally, I'm not convinced that "twenty years ago he became a Christian" if the only evidence
of his conversion is that he joined Jeremiah Wright's institute of victimology.
Malik Obama confirms his half-brother Barack grew up a
Muslim. Apparently the Obamas of Kenya have been reading those scurrilous emails to which Barack likes to
refer, because they have no doubt — contrary to the claims of the Obama campaign, that the presidential candidate
was raised a Moslem. They take that as a given. As the Jerusalem Post reports, "Barack Obama's half brother
Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim
background.
Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam.
All this matters, for if Obama once was a Muslim, he is now what Islamic law calls a murtadd (apostate), an
ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed. Were he elected president of the United States,
this status, clearly, would have large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world.
In sum: Obama was an irregularly practicing Muslim who rarely or occasionally prayed with his step-father in
a mosque. This precisely substantiates my statement that he "for some years had a reasonably Muslim
upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian step-father."
Obama anti-smear site: 'He was never
a Muslim'. One of the main issues addressed by Obama's "Fight the Smears" site is the contention
the Illinois senators was once a Muslim. "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a
Muslim, and is a committed Christian," states the site. But as WND reported, public records in Indonesia
listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama
was once a mosque-attending Muslim.
Obama takes on the Great Global Blogosphere Conspiracy.
[Scroll down] We are entitled therefore to ask whether the Muslim world supports him because it believes he is still a
Muslim. We are entitled to ask precisely when he stopped being a Muslim, and why. Did Obama embrace Christianity
as a tactical manoeuvre to get himself elected? Why indeed has he dissembled about his family background if not for that
end? These multiple known deceptions by someone who may become President of the United States are deeply alarming.
Bocah Negro Gemuk Itu Rajin Ke Mushala.
Barry dulu memang beragama Islam. Ayah kandungnya, Barack Husein Obama adalah seorang muslim ahli
ekonomi asal Kenya. Sebelum menikah dengan Ann Dunham, Husein Obama telah menikah dengan orang Kenya
dan mendapat keturunan tujuh anak. Semua saudara sebapak Barry ini beragama Islam.
Translation:
"Barry was previously quite religious Islam. His birth father, Barack Husein Obama was the Muslim
economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Husein Obama married Kenyans and produced seven
children. All the relatives a Barry's father were religious Islam."
Obama seen as a Muslim overseas.
Americans believe that Barack Obama has every right to become a Christian as an adult and proclaim his faith in Jesus Christ.
Americans understand that true religious identity depends on the faith one accepts. But we deceive ourselves if we
believe the rest of the world thinks this way. The Muslim world sees it differently. A baby born to a Muslim
father is a Muslim. One who leaves Islam for another faith is an apostate. It's scriptural.
Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood: As
Barack Obama's candidacy comes under increasing scrutiny, his account of his religious upbringing deserves
careful attention for what it tells us about the candidate's integrity. Obama asserted in December,
"I've always been a Christian," and he has adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. "The only
connection I've had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father's side came from that country [Kenya].
But I've never practiced Islam." … "Always" and "never" leave little room for equivocation.
Opposing viewpoint — from Al-Jazeera: Obama's "Muslim identity" — An asset for
Iraq exit strategy. Yes, Barak Obama is not a Muslim. On the contrary, he has repeatedly
asserted that he is a Christian in response to his opponents' attempts to portray him as a Muslim (hence kind
of a Manchurian candidate for Muslims or as a terrorist sympathizer). … Having so far quieted such rumors
of his putative Muslim identity, it would appear that there is no chance that Obama will own up to any
aspect of his Muslim heritage or exposure to Muslim religion, culture and people.
Barack Obama's Muslim
outreach director quits. An attorney who volunteered to help Barack Obama improve his
relationship with Muslim and Arab-Americans has resigned from the campaign amid questions about his connection
to a fundamentalist imam. Mazen Asbahi started as the campaign's outreach coordinator on July 26,
and he resigned in a letter to the campaign Monday [8/4/2008].
Obama's Muslim
Affairs Advisor Resigns. Barack Obama's Muslim Affairs adviser, Chicago lawyer Mazen Asbahi,
has resigned after an internet newsletter wrote about his stint on the board of an Islamic investment fund
and his involvement in various Islamic groups.
'Muslim bashers'
hit for resignation. America's largest Islamic civil liberties group on Wednesday defended
Sen. Barack Obama after the Democratic presidential candidate's Muslim-outreach coordinator resigned because
of a brief association with a suspected Muslim extremist.
Obama's
Islamist Problem: The question is why would Barak Obama's campaign — which has
prevented Muslim women wearing headcoverings from being in the background of photographs with
the candidate and which recently fired a Muslim-outreach coordinator who had ties to another
unindicted HLF co-conspirator — allow itself to be put in such company? Presumably, the
response will be one heard from the Bush administration: ISNA is a large, "mainstream"
Muslim-American organization that is an appropriate vehicle for outreach to that community.
Obama's
Muslim Connection Won't Go Away. Obama has denied he is a Muslim or ever was a practicing
Muslim. The basis of the "rumor" germinates with Obama's father, who was a Muslim, though Obama
claims he was non-practicing. Adding to the mix is Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama, which
is an Arabic name. ... Reports dating back as far as early 2007 held that Obama was educated at a radical
Islamic school in Indonesia. Press accounts revealed that in fact, Obama first attended a Catholic
school for almost three years. However, his mother registered him in the school as a Muslim.
Obama
Adviser Meets With Syria. Tony Badran, an expert on Lebanon and Syria for the Defense of
Democracies, was not surprised [Daniel] Kurtzer was meeting with the Syrians. He likened the meeting to
other informal lobbying efforts done on Syria's behalf. "It's not a secret that the Syrians are openly
banking on Barack Obama," Badran told the Sun.
Top 5 Pitfalls
for Citizen O: Die-hard Democrats love the idea that their candidate is so global that he's the very
embodiment of America's melting pot. But so varied are Obama's roots that questions persist about whether he
is Muslim and if he's really even American.
I would never say 'my Buddhist faith'. I
am a Christian. If I were in an interview or otherwise, I would never even think of saying "my Buddhist faith"
or "my New Age faith" or "my Episcopalian faith." I am none of these. I have never intended to be one of
these. I never plan on being one of these. I have never thought of myself under these labels.
Therefore, I would never let slip out of lips any such confession. Yet B. Hussein did just that. He
said "my Muslim faith."
Obama's verbal
slip fuels his critics. Sen. Barack Obama's foes seized Sunday upon a brief slip of the tongue,
when the Democratic presidential nominee was outlining his Christianity but accidentally said, "my Muslim faith."
The three words — immediately corrected — were during an exchange with ABC's George Stephanopoulos
on "This Week," when he was trying to criticize the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim.
In stunning slip on national TV, Obama
refers to "my muslim faith". In one of the most astonishing gaffes in American political history,
in a national televised interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulus, Democratic presidential candidate Barack
Hussein Obama referred to "my muslim faith," confirming what researchers and political opponents have been
claiming. While Stephanopoulus several seconds later tried to correct him, saying "Christian faith," it
was too late. The damage was done.
Obama's Childhood: Praying to
Saints and Bowing in Mosques. In his childhood, Obama was registered as a Muslim and bowed
toward a mosque on Fridays while praying to a Catholic saint on other days, according to a 2007 report in
The Los Angeles Times. Obama's chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, was careful in an earlier statement to
emphasize that he was raised in a secular household in Indonesia by his stepfather and mother.
Barack
Obama through Muslim Eyes: How do Muslims see Barack Hussein Obama? They have three
choices: either as he presents himself — someone who has "never been a Muslim" and has "always
been a Christian"; or as a fellow Muslim; or as an apostate from Islam. Reports suggests that while
Americans generally view the Democratic candidate having had no religion before converting at Reverend
Jeremiah Wrights's hands at age 27, Muslims the world over rarely see him as Christian but usually as
either Muslim or ex-Muslim.
Strange
case of Obama birth record. The question is: Where there's smoke is there fire, or just
a smokescreen? Barack Obama said to George Stephanopoulos, "John McCain has not talked about my Muslim
faith..." on ABC's "This Week." The Obamas have an odd practice of not giving their daughters birthday
gifts — birthday gifts are forbidden under Shariah law. Mr. Obama is not a stupid man. He misspoke
and said there are 57 American states. There are 57 states in the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Can Obama Win the "Values Voter?"
A sizable number of Americans suspect Obama is lying about Islamic roots. A Newsweek poll in June found that
12 percent of voters are convinced Obama is a Muslim, and one-in-four believe he was raised a Muslim. Such
thinking has intensified with Jerome Corsi's bestselling book and with research by Islam observers like Daniel
Pipes — who, though he accepts that Obama is today a Christian, says Obama is "lying" when he denies
he was never a Muslim. Additional oddities continue to surface, such as YouTube video in which Moammar Kaddafi
is said to describe Obama as a fellow Muslim.
Apparently the Muslims believe Obama is a Muslim. My Muslim
President Obama. I know President Obama is not Muslim, but I am tempted nevertheless to think that he is,
as are most Muslims I know. In a very unscientific oral poll, ranging from family members to Muslim acquaintances,
many of us feel, just as African-Americans did for the non-black but culturally leaning African-American President Bill
Clinton, that we have our first American Muslim president in Barack Hussein Obama.
Suddenly Obama has Muslim roots. During the U.S
presidential campaign, Barack Obama's handlers vigourously pointed out his Christian faith whenever the
misconception arose he may be Muslim (even though the politically correct response should have been his
religion doesn't matter). ... Once elected, however, he personally insisted on his middle name being spoken
at his swearing-in ceremony. And now — in a gesture to the Muslim world — he has
not only granted the first sit-down interview of his presidency to a pan-Arab television network, but uses the
occasion to gush about his Muslim ties.
Obama unable to
shake Muslim myth. In a series of four surveys conducted during the last year, 12 percent
consistently said the president is a Muslim. The number of evangelical Protestants with that belief —
19 percent — also has remained unchanged. The same is true for Republicans: 17 percent
said Mr. Obama was Muslim in 2008, as they do now. Among blacks, 6 percent say he is Muslim, down
from 10 percent. Among Democrats, the number is 7 percent, down from 9 percent. Less
than half of Americans — 48 percent — say Mr. Obama is a Christian, down from
51 percent. Thirty-five percent don't know what religion he is; no one classified him as
an atheist.
11%
of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim. A poll conducted by Pew Research in March shows that over one
in 10 Americans still believe President Barack Obama is a Muslim. That number is only slightly lower than the
results of a poll conducted by Pew last October. White evangelical Protestants (19%) and Republicans (17%) are
among the most likely to view Obama as a Muslim, according to the poll.
Obama highlights his Muslim roots in
Turkey speech. President Barack Obama launched a major outreach
initiative to Islam on Monday [4/7/2009], urging Muslims to join America in fighting common
enemies. And signaling the strategic importance of the U.S. alliance with this majority-Muslim
country, the president made a sharp retreat from a campaign promise to press Turkey on the issue of
Armenian genocide. "Let me say this as clearly as I can: The United States is not at war
with Islam," Obama said. "In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical in rolling
back a fringe ideology that people of all faiths reject."
Obama sells himself to sell U.S..
During his presidential campaign, Barack Hussein Obama rarely made an appearance. He spoke little of his
childhood in Indonesia, or his Muslim relatives. He battled rumors that he is Muslim. He struggled to
appear not as somehow exotic but as the everyman. But as he embarks on a new campaign to win over the Muslim
world, Obama is calling attention to the nontraditional aspects of his upbringing like never before...
The Emergence of President Obama's Muslim Roots. Given widespread
unease and prejudice against Muslims among Americans, especially in the wake of 9/11, the Obama campaign was
perhaps understandably very sensitive during the primaries and general election to downplay the candidate's Muslim
roots. ... Since the election, however, with the threat of the rumors at least somewhat abated, the White House has
been increasingly forthcoming about the president's roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim world.
Obama
Nation's Low View of Christianity: Over the past three years, Obama has made it his business to
insist that "we are no longer a Christian nation." He has said it in many places, here and abroad. ... During
the presidential campaign, the media pounced on anyone who inquired into Obama's Muslim upbringing in Indonesia,
his two Muslim fathers or his later 20-year attendance at radical pastor Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church
of Christ in Chicago. Now, his Muslim roots are touted as an asset. No one can say for sure what
Obama actually believes, since only God can know the human heart. So we are left examining his words and
actions.
America's first
Muslim president?. With Mr. Obama's unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo Thursday [6/4/2009]
to what he calls "the Muslim world" (hereafter known as "the Speech"), there is mounting evidence that the
president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself. Consider the following
indicators: Mr. Obama referred four times in his speech to "the Holy Koran."
Non-Muslims — even pandering ones — generally don't use that Islamic formulation.
The ISNA Conference.
Last year I attended the ISNA Conference in Ohio. There were an estimated 30,000 plus Muslims who attended the
conference ... There were hundreds of vendors, and since the conference was being held only a couple of months
before the 2008 Presidential Election, there was an enormous outpouring of support for Barack Obama. Non
profit organizations are not supposed to favor any certain political candidate, of course. In 2008 ISNA
had several booths with anti-American slogans on shirts, along with pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian, and anti-Israel
garments. In addition Barack Hussein Obama material was in abundance.
Obama
Bows and Sells Out to Saudi Royals. [Obama's] speech in Cairo was like a coming out announcement
by a Muslim debutante. He said about himself all the things no one else was allowed to say about him
before the election when some Americans may have had reservations about a president so steeped in Islamic culture.
Suborned in the
U.S.A. [Scroll down slowly] The aforementioned Indonesian interval in Obama's childhood
is instructive. Obama and the media worked in tireless harmony to refute any indication that he had ever
been a Muslim. It's now apparent, however, not only that he was raised as a Muslim while living for four
years in the world's most populous Islamic country, but that he very likely became a naturalized citizen of
Indonesia. ... Under Indonesian law, adoption before the age of six by an Indonesian male qualified a child
for citizenship. ... Obama attended Indonesian elementary schools, which, in Suharto's police state, were
generally reserved for citizens (and students were required to carry identity cards that matched student
registration information). The records of the Catholic school Obama/Soetoro attended for three years
identify him as a citizen of Indonesia. Thus Obama probably obtained Indonesian citizenship through his
adoption by Soetoro in Hawaii. ... In any event, the records of the Catholic school and the public school
Obama attended during his last year in Indonesia identify him as a Muslim.
Who? Perhaps the
president is too cowed by the political-correctness crowd or too personally uncomfortable to name our enemy.
Apparently our commander-in-chief can't quite get out the words "Islamic fundamentalists" or "Islamic fascists" or
"Islamic" anything. This is a very, very bad sign.
Obama's Cowardly
Fort Hood Speech. [Scroll down] At no point during his speech did he mutter any words that
describe the enemy we continue to face. He spoke vaguely of "twisted logic" and "extremists", but
failed to point the finger directly at Islam. If we didn't know any better, we wouldn't have a clue
who or what he was talking about.
Ignoring Infiltration.
[Scroll down] Obama has confronted the crisis with yet another serving of Hope and Change rhetoric.
We shouldn't "jump to conclusions," says O., giving no notion of what those conclusions might be. He
goes on to praise the "diversity" of the armed forces, as if the fact that Hasan the Assassin's victims
came from different backgrounds somehow makes things better.
Report:
Obama said 'I Am a Muslim'. "The American President told me in confidence that he is a
Muslim." That was the claim of Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, as reported in the
May 2010 issue of Israel Today. According to journalist Avi Lipkin, Gheit appeared on Nile TV's
"Round Table Show" in January, on which he said that "he had had a one-on-one meeting with Obama who
swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that
his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda."
Islam:
Antithetical to Religious Freedom. The religious allegiance of Barack Hussein Obama has been
the subject of intense debate across the United States. Is Obama, who was raised a Muslim, a committed
Muslim or a Christian convert? A Harris Poll conducted in March of 2010, revealed that fully 57% of all
Republicans and 32% of Americans overall believe that Obama is a Muslim. In 2008, a University of Texas
survey found that 23% of Texans were convinced that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
Obama The Muslim. President
Obama says there is nothing more beautiful than the Muslim call to prayer in the evening. He says that
the United States was not founded as a Christian nation. Obama's father and step-father were Muslims
and he spent his childhood living in a Muslim country where his school enrollment records say his religion
is Islam. As President of the United States he genuflects to the Muslim King of Saudi Arabia but not
the Christian Queen of England. He thumbs his nose at America's friends and bows to its enemies.
In short, Obama quacks like a Muslim, waddles like a Muslim and acts like a Muslim, so is he a Muslim?
The First Un-American President.
"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone
else in this country." — Barack Hussein Obama, spoken at a White House dinner to celebrate the
beginning of Ramadan! ... This statement regarding the defiling of Ground Zero, favoring a mosque where the
same religion that spawned the 9/11 killers would be preached, may finally convince the deniers that Obama is
and always has been a Muslim.
More
about the proposed Ground Zero mosque and Obama's
active endorsement thereof.
President
Obama: Muslim Missionary? President Obama is not just rebooting America's image in the
Muslim world. He's deepening and expanding Islamic belief, practice and culture around the world,
like a Muslim missionary.
Rev. Franklin Graham: President Obama
'born a Muslim'. The Rev. Franklin Graham on Friday [8/20/2010] said that President Barack Obama
was "born a Muslim" because the religion's "seed" is passed from the father. Graham made the remark during
an interview with CNN's John King set to air Friday night after being asked about a new Pew poll showing that
31 percent of Republicans believe the president — a Christian — is Muslim.
He's Not a Muslim!
("Not that There's Anything Wrong with That") So now we have a president haunted by the
idea that he is really a Muslim — and not a Christian at all. How delicious it is that his
blatantly secular liberal supporters are totally impotent at fighting this battle for him — given
that so many Americans take faith seriously? And going back to Wright's Trinity Church will not help.
There will be no Jesus Cred available there. Listen to the tapes or order the books. You will
simply find Black Liberation Theology and Marxism and so on.
Growing number of
Americans believe Obama a Muslim. There is a lot of media handwringing this morning over a poll
indicating 18 percent of the American public (up from 11 percent in March, 2009) believe President
Obama is a Muslim. ... None of the above journos mention the memorable moment when Obama spoke of "my Muslim
faith." Nor his striking bow before the Saudi King — the protector of Mecca and Medina.
Then there is the small matter of Obama's ditching any Christian religious observance since leaving Trinity
United Church, headed by Louis Farrakhan-honoring, America-hating pastor Jeremiah Wright.
Obama Akbar. The media is all
worked up over a poll that shows the majority of Americans don't think Obama is a Christians and nearly a
[quarter] of Americans think that Obama is a Muslim. ... In short, Obama's family on his father's side is
Muslim. He grew up with a Muslim stepfather in a Muslim country. Then he went to Trinity Church
and found a mentor there in the form of Jeremiah Wright. Wright was a former Black Muslim, his sermons
still sound more Muslim than Christian, with their rantings about America, and obvious bigotry. Obama's
church was Muslim influenced, which may have attracted him to it and to Wright. Take all this together,
and it's not too surprising why some people would have the perception that Obama is Muslim, in part or in
whole.
Barack Obama: Christian In Name Only
(CINO)? Consider Obama's actions since 1/20/09:
• Immediately called for shut down of GITMO.
• Called for terrorists to be tried by civilian juries, rather than military, including Miranda rights and other rights conferred on citizens.
• Once in office, rushed off to a Muslim nation to deliver a speech in which he declared that America is "not" a Christian nation.
• Changed policy toward Israel such that that nation is treated like a gang of terrorists.
• Supports, or at least does not oppose, the mosque at Ground Zero.
Americans think Obama is Islamic for a reason. The first
presumed Muslim president. Hard on the heels of the Ground Zero Mosque controversy, significant
numbers of Americans think President Obama is a Muslim. The uncomfortable fact for the White House is
the more the American people get to know Mr. Obama, the more they think he is a follower of Islam.
Obama
has himself to blame for Muslim problem. [Scroll down] The number of people who say they
don't know Obama's religion is growing, from 32 percent back then to 43 percent today. The
White House blames the situation on a "misinformation campaign" from Obama's opponents. But Obama and
his aides might also blame themselves for the way they've handled the Muslim issue over the years.
Obama's choice: Boy
Scouts or Islam. President Obama couldn't bring himself to observe the National Day of Prayer or
spend time with the Boy Scouts of America, but God forbid, he couldn't miss the Muslim Iftar Ramadan dinner, or
pass up a chance to praise an Islamic center a stone's throw away from Ground Zero. He later backed
down — a bit. One has to wonder exactly who is this Barack Obama?
Obama's Jihad. Obama's Islamophilia
has manifested itself in ways big and small?in his unflinching antagonism toward Israel and his bowing to Muslim
autocrats; in his 2007 comment that the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on earth," in
his hosting of a Ramadan dinner at the White House while cancelling National Day of Prayer events at the White
House. But it is perhaps most evident in what has become clear about Obama's view of religious freedom:
that God rarely has a place in the public square unless that god is called Allah.
The Truth about Obama's
Muslim 'Faith'. In reality, calling Obama a "Muslim" gives him too much credit. As
G.K. Chesterton once said, "We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has
thought thoroughly and to a definite end." The truth, however, is that few people have thought
thoroughly and to a definite end. And Obama is no exception. He hasn't even thought matters
through enough to understand the folly of statism. Even more to the point, he is a moral relativist, a
position the antithesis of any absolutist faith.
Is Barack Obama a
Muslim? [Obama] proselytizes for Islamic goals and dreams like a member of the faithful.
He routinely cites his background to establish his Islamic bona fides with the Muslim world. "I am
a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims," he told a Muslim
audience in Cairo. "As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the
break of dawn and the fall of dusk. ... I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region
where it was first revealed." This is language that falls short of embracing Islam as a believer, but is
geared toward telling the Muslim world, "I am on your side."
Now, why would 20% of
Americans think Obama is a Muslim? First, there was the premier interview as president to the
foreign press, which Obama gave to an Arab television network. Then there was the "suck up to Islam"
speech the president gave in Cairo, in which he purely made up Muslim history to make Islamists feel good.
Throw in the obsequious bow to the Saudi king. Throw in Obama's claim on international television that
America is "not a Christian nation," but is indeed "one of the largest Muslim nations" (a claim which relied
on more faulty Obama arithmetic), and it would take a nitwit not to question the president's credibility on
every issue, including his religion.
Michelle Obama made dusk visit to Great Mosque
of Granada during Spanish trip. While President Barack Obama was "forcefully" endorsing the
Ground Zero Mosque, Michelle Obama was paying homage with her presence to the Great Mosque at Granada, which
overlooks what was once Islam's most important outpost in Europe, the Alhambra palace in Granada.
Barack
Obama Vs. Majority Public Opinion. The mosque raises another festering issue. The Pew Research
Center reports that 18% (one in five Americans) think Obama is a Muslim, and Time magazine puts that figure at 24%.
The number of people who think Obama is a Christian is in a free fall, and 43% don't know his religion. Rush
Limbaugh reminded us of Obama's statement quoted in the New York Times that the Muslim call to prayer is "one
of the prettiest sounds on Earth" and that he recited it with a first-rate Arabic accent. The translation
of the prayer call is "Allah is supreme. Allah is supreme. Allah is supreme. I witness that
there is no god but Allah."
Obama
Sends $6 Million to Global Muslim Sites. President Barack Obama's faith may not be clearly
identifiable, but he's willing to usurp the U.S. Constitutional principle of a strict separation of church
and state when it comes to using American taxpayer dollars to restore Muslim holy places.
So Is He a Christian?
[Scroll down] [Obama] said in his Cairo speech to the Muslim world that Islam is a revealed religion. ... Words
have meaning, and if Obama believes Islam was revealed, then he most certainly believes it was revealed by God.
If it was revealed by God more than 600 years after Christ was on earth and contains beliefs wholly inconsistent
with doctrinal Christianity — such as that Christ was not God, but a mere prophet — then,
in that essential particular, it cannot possibly be reconciled with Christianity. If Obama truly believes
Islam was revealed by God, I can't fathom how he could be a believing Christian. I don't know that
Obama is not a Christian, but I am dubious.
A Relativist, Wrapped in
a Muslim, Inside an Agnostic. Why does a significant chunk of the American electorate think
Obama is a Muslim? Let's count some of the reasons: he speaks of his "Muslim roots," says he
hails from "generations of Muslims," was born to a line of Muslim males and given by them an Arabic name,
went to a Muslim school in Islamic Indonesia, speaks glowingly of Islam whenever he gets the chance, holds a
Ramadan dinner in the White House, tells his NASA head to turn the space agency into a Muslim outreach
program, and last but not least insults doctrinal Christians routinely.
Obama bows down to King Abdullah
Obama bows down to
Saudi King. I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of
the United States.
With bowed head and
bended knee. Has anyone ever seen Barack Obama publicly bow and bend his knee when meeting
someone prior to yesterday? I don't recall any photos of such a gesture of greeting, but I would be very
happy if some of the President's defenders on the left could provide such evidence that his striking body
language yesterday [4/2/2009] before the monarch of Saudi Arabia and custodian of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina was
simply a habitual gesture of warmth.
Obama doubles down on the
bow to the Saudi King. The story is officially "in play" now that the White House has spoken, albeit
from an anonymous source. American citizens are implicitly asked to view the demi-prostration and decide for
themselves. The evidence simply does not support the official position of the Obama administration.
Barack takes a bow. In
a shocking display of fealty to a foreign potentate, President Obama bowed to Saudi King Abdullah at the Group of
20 summit in London last week. Mr. Obama later said in Strasbourg, France, "We have to change our behavior
in showing the Muslim world greater respect." Symbolism is important in world affairs. By bending over
to show greater respect to Islam, the U.S. president belittled the power and independence of the United States.
President Obama, King
Abdullah, and the end of Israel. During the G-20 summit in London, Barack Obama took time out
for a brief meeting with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia caught on video by two cameras, and by a still photographer,
where the U.S. president bowed deeply in greeting the Saudi monarch. No major American media paid any
attention to the startling, unreciprocated bow, gesture of subservience.
A
right royal bow row. Conservative American commentators have accused Barack Obama of
"grovelling" to an Arab monarch at the G20 summit in London. A photo and video footage of the US President
bowing to Saudi Arabian King Abdullah at yesterday's G20 meet-and-greet has been doing the rounds on the internet
today. Mr Obama appears to shake the King's hand and then bow from the waist while French President
Nicholas Sarkozy looks on.
Obama and the
King: President Obama's tour round the world has been absolutely surreal, as he could not stop making
promises he is in no position to fulfill, or apologizing for perceived American misdemeanors he is in no position to
prove, never mind redress. Surely the unforgettable highpoint of this festival of illusion was in London, when
Obama encountered King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. It's an accepted courtesy to royalty to make a little nod with
the head, but film and photographs show Obama bending from the waist in a gesture of humble obeisance, as it were,
acknowledging his inferior status.
A tale of two
bows. The protocol travails of Mr Obama's presidential travels are still dogging him back on American soil.
For while he proferred the Queen a deferential nod in his audience at Buckingham Palace, he appeared to deliver a
full-blooded and deeply reverential half-body bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at the G20 summit the next day.
U.S. should bow to no one, not even a
king. The president of the United States does not bow to kings. He is not only the chief of government,
he's our head of state — the equal of any monarch. The White House says Obama didn't bow, that he "grasped
(Abdullah's) hand with two hands and he's taller than King Abdullah." Sorry, but a videotape on YouTube doesn't quite
back that up. Obama clearly bends his body toward the Arabian monarch, and Obama doesn't grasp both the king's hands
until he's standing straight up.
Obama Bows
To No One, Unless You're a Saudi King. Chances are good you haven't heard this one: that, while in
Buckingham Palace last week, milling about with G-20 leaders, the current president of the United States bowed deeply at
the waist, one knee bent, on meeting the current King, so-called, of Saudi Arabia, who did not bow back. Chances are
even better you haven't seen the video. That's because Big Media, from viewer-deprived networks to newspapers
considering bailouts, have neither aired the video of the incident nor reported on it.
Liberals and
Child Brides: When I condemned President Barack Obama's deep bow to Saudi King Abdullah, I
heard from many readers about President George W. Bush's hand-holding with the same personage.
"What's the difference?" demanded one reader. Well, hand-holding (while not exactly a welcome sight
between the president of the United States and any ruler of a repressive state) is at least a gesture
between equals. Bowing, on the other hand, suggests obeisance.
Obama's Alternate Reality:
You see, it all depends on what the meaning of the word "bow" is. ... Despite the widely circulated video of said event
showing Obama kowtowing to some Arab dude, we are expected to believe the White House line that Obama didn't bow. The
word "bow" has thus joined ranks with the word "is" in terms of, well, a matter of definition. Context, if you will.
Obama: A Profile in Cowardice.
Meet Barack Hussein Obama. The man who turned his own middle name into a no-go zone during the election,
only to bring it out of the closet when he trotted down to a Muslim country. The man whose associates
labeled talk about his Muslim background as racist, only to proclaim his Muslim background loudly and proudly
from the podium of a Muslim country. There's a word for a man like that. Coward.
Obama appears to be a Muslim sympathizer at the very least.
Obama prayer speaker comes from group feds say is linked
to Hamas. One of the religious leaders invited to address Barack Obama's inaugural prayer service Wednesday
heads an Islamic group named by federal prosecutors as a co-conspirator in a terrorism-fundraising trial in Texas.
Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, is scheduled to join Christian ministers and Jewish
rabbis offering prayers for the new president and his family during a service at the National Cathedral in Washington,
organizers announced Friday.
The National Prayer Service and the
Wahhabi Lobby: Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), will deliver a prayer
at the National Cathedral during the National Prayer Service on January 21st. ... ISNA has close ties with the Muslim
Brotherhood, a radical Islamist group, and was named an un-indicted co-conspirator in U.S. v Holy Land Foundation, a
case that uncovered covert financing of the terrorist group Hamas. Since her election as ISNA president in 2006,
Mattson's apologias for the radical Wahhabi sect of Islam have gained a much wider audience.
More fallout from
Hamas connection to prayer service participant. Yesterday's American Thinker piece by Winfield
Myers on Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, who will be participating in the
National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral on Wednesday has generated quite a bit of fallout.
What have we done to ourselves, — and
why? Many Americans have been convinced for some time that Obama is a closet Islamic. After reading
the headlines in the January 22, 2009 Fox News First 100 days of the Presidency "Obama is expected to
sign 'several' executive orders Thursday [1/22/2009], directing the CIA to close secret foreign prisons and
Guantanamo Bay, and limiting detention and interrogation methods" he has given more credence to these convictions.
He is apparently making it softer and easier for Islamic/Muslims to damage the United States.
Obama
Gives First TV Interview To Arabic Network. President Barack Obama gave his first formal
television interview as president to an Arabic cable TV network, telling Al-Arabiya that when it comes to
Middle East matters "all too often the United States starts by dictating." ... "My job to the Muslim world is
to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy," Obama said. "We sometimes make mistakes.
We have not been perfect."
We may have made some "mistakes": Obama tells Muslim world.
Accepting that the US may have made some "mistakes" in the past while dealing with the Muslim world, President
Barack Hussein Obama has assured them that "Americans are not your enemy" and expressed his determination to
resolve the Palestinian problem and diplomatically engage with Iran.
Dancing
Among Landmines — The Obama Al-Arabiya Interview. Triangulation is a touchy art and
it takes the genius of a Dick Morris cum soulless Bill Clinton to pull off such disingenuousness. In
less experienced hands it can be explosive and turn on its user. And Obama will soon learn the dangerous
game he is playing.
Obama declares US not at war with
Islam. Barack Obama, making his first visit to a Muslim nation as president, declared Monday [4/6/2009] the
United States "is not and will never be at war with Islam." Calling for a greater partnership with the Islamic
world in an address to the Turkish parliament, Obama called the country an important U.S. ally in many areas, including
the fight against terrorism.
He won't attend the National Day of Prayer, but... Obama to
Speak at LGBT Rights Dinner. President Obama will be the keynote speaker at the Human Rights
Campaign's annual dinner on Saturday in Washington, D.C. "We are honored to share this night with
President Obama, who has called upon our nation to embrace LGBT people as brothers and sisters," The Human
Rights Campaign President, Joel Solmonese, said in an announcement today [10/5/2009].
He won't attend the National Day of Prayer, but... Obama
Sends "Best Wishes" to Muslims Before the Start of Ramadan. In a video message posted on the
White House website President Obama extends his "best wishes" to Muslim communities in the US and around the
world for Ramadan.
Obama
marks Ramadan by praising Islam. US President Barack Obama extended his best wishes to Muslims
around the world Friday [8/21/2009] as they prepare to begin the holy month of Ramadan. Obama reiterated
his desire to mend relations between the United States and Muslim countries that have historically suffered,
an effort he began with a major speech in Cairo in June designed to reach out the Islamic community.
Obama ♥ hijabs
and niqabs. The president has a soft spot in his heart for the practice of covering women, lest
they incite lust in the hearts of men. Bookworm points out that Barack Obama has on two occasions made
rather a large point of supporting the Muslim practice if keeping women covered in hijabs and niqabs. In
his famous Cairo speech, he referred to covering positively three times. Last night, at his Ramadan
dinner, he returned to the subject.
Obama
Calls Islam 'Great Religion' at Ramadan Dinner. President Barack Obama on Tuesday [9/1/2009] praised
American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Obama Calls Islam Part of America
at White House Ramadan Dinner. President Barack Obama highlighted the contributions made by Muslims
to American culture and the "dynamism and diversity" of the Islamic community. "Islam, as we know, is
part of America," Obama said at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
"Together we have a responsibility to foster engagement grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect."
The Editor says...
Can you imagine the media uproar if President Bush had hosted an Easter dinner with a room full of
Christian leaders? We would have heard all about an impending theocracy for days after the event.
Obama's
Muslim grandmother among Mecca pilgrims. Sarah Obama, US President Barack Obama's 87-year-old
Kenyan grandmother, has arrived in Mecca to perform the Muslim pilgrimage of hajj, the Saudi daily Okaz
reported Wednesday. Sarah Obama, one of her grandchildren and 10 people from her village in Kenya
made the pilgrimage at the invitation of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, the newspaper reported.
Arlington mayor
fires at Obama online. In the opinion of Arlington Mayor Russell Wiseman, President Barack
Obama's speech on Tuesday night [12/8/2009] on the war in Afghanistan was deliberately timed to block the
Christian message of the "Peanuts" television Christmas special. Wiseman made the statements on his
Facebook page, where he declared Obama to be a Muslim. Only people on Wiseman's "friend's list" had
access to the post.
Obama Continues to Prove He Is a Muslim.
Obama is just doing his duty as the duly appointed Muslim usurper to the Office of the President to deliver America to
the world of Islam. People who scoff at this information will suffer the most when the great seduction is
complete and many Christian heads have rolled. I for one will at least not be surprised. It should
not be a surprise to anyone with a modicum of common sense that this charlatan is faking his way with his
not-very-well-hidden Islamic agenda.
This is a valid concern, since Mr. Obama is constitutionally disqualified from the presidency if he was
born in Kenya or elsewhere, as many suspect. His own grandmother insists that she was present at
his birth — in Kenya! It is also alleged that Obama traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan and India
in 1981, when he was 20 Years old on his Indonesian passport. Unless he has dual citizenship, why
would he have an Indonesian passport?
Obama running in violation of
US election law. Barack Obama is not legally a US natural-born citizen according
to the law on the books at the time of his birth; a law that was in effect between December 24,
1952 and November 13, 1986, when the law was changed. However, the new law did not preempt
the former law in the cases of those born between the above listed dates when the old law was in
effect. Therefore, Senator Obama may very well be disqualified as the Democratic candidate
in the upcoming Presidential campaign.
Obama
Could Debunk Some Rumors By Releasing His Birth Certificate. Reporters have asked for it and been
denied, and the state of Hawaii does not make such records public. ... There are several (unlikely) rumors
circulating regarding Obama's birth certificate. Rumor one: Obama was born in Kenya.
Is Obama's candidacy constitutional?
Bloggers are raising questions about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's qualifications to be U.S. president, because
of the secrecy over his birth certificate and the requirement presidents be "natural-born" U.S. citizens.
Jim Geraghty, reporting on the Campaign Spot, a National Review blog, cited the "unlikely" but still
circulating rumor that Obama was born not within the United States, but elsewhere, possibly Kenya.
Obama should reconsider birth certificate proof.
According to WorldNetDaily, "Bloggers are raising questions about Illinois Sen. Barack
Obama's qualifications to be U.S. president, because of the secrecy over his birth
certificate and the requirement presidents be "natural-born" U.S. citizens.
Obama campaign claims suspect "birth
certificate" as genuine item. Some who have examined that image in high resolution claim
inconsistencies and irregularities which suggest that the purported document is a forgery. Its high
profile use by the campaign, they claim, suggests an attempt to conceal the truth of Obama's birth
circumstances and citizenship qualifications from the American people.
Unstamped certificate suggests Obama may
not be "natural born" US citizen. The "birth certificate" claimed by the Barack Obama campaign
is not certified as authentic and appears to be a photoshopped fake. The image, purporting to come from
the Hawaii Department of Health, has been the subject of intense skepticism in the blogosphere in the past two
weeks. But now the senior spokesman of that Department has confirmed to Israel Insider what are the
required features of a certified birth document — features that Obama's purported "birth certificate"
clearly lack.
Obama's
Certification of Live Birth Found and Posted at Daily Kos. All of the information
is what we have been told before — name, birth date, etc. His mother's race is listed
as "Caucasian," his father as "African." No middle name of Muhammad, no first name
of "Barry," no last name of "Dunham." He's listed as "Barack Hussein Obama II," not "Jr."
The Editor says...
The document shown at Daily Kos is not the original — it is supposedly a certified copy printed very
recently. It doesn't show any signs of having been folded and put in an envelope. It's just a
little too crisp and new to avoid accusations that it's a Photoshop fake instead of an authentic certificate.
(See the recent document here.)
Remember, Democrats are not above using "fake but accurate"
documents to accomplish their goals. I'd like to see the original, please.
As Obama stonewalls on uncertified birth
certificate, official doubts mount. So where is that birth certificate? It got lost?
The dog ate it? No matter. Barack Obama or an immediate family member can plunk down $10 ($11.50 if
he orders online) and have Hawaii mail a certified document to him within a week or two. But more than
two weeks have passed since the Obama campaign adopted the suspect, uncertified image of a purported birth
document published by a left-wing blog Daily Kos, and nothing certified and nothing on paper has since has
been forthcoming.
Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate
forgery, subverting Obama claims. Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland
Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fake Hawaii birth
certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the
same Daily Kos blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears. … [And] why would a presidential
campaign that has its own "Fight the Smears" website rely on a radical left-wing blog like Daily Kos to post
its official documents, especially one as sensitive and controversial as a birth certificate?
The (semi-)
mysterious case of Obama's birth certificate: I am convinced that the certificate is a fake (and
not really a very good one) and I went into this with a completely open mind (something the Obamanationalists
seem to have lost). I also have to say that everyone who has been looking into this federal crime (and
it is a federal crime even if the certificates were never meant to be used for identification) have done a
stupendous job and I wish they all worked for my lab.
Is There
Legitimate Doubt About Obama's Eligibility to be President? My predisposition on the many stories
floating around about Obama and his circle is to ignore them on the following theory: If there was really
anything to this or that, the Clintons would have found it and gotten their media friends all over it. This
story about Obama's eligibility puzzles me because (a) it is so basic, (b) it should be so easy to prove the
relevant facts of his birth, (c) the Obama campaign's response to the story is bizarre, and (d) it seems to
be getting worse rather than resolved.
The Editor says...
Yes, the Clintons' media friends would be all over it, except that (a) the Clintons are not omniscient, and
(b) the news media like Obama as much as they like the Clintons. If the media discovered that Obama was
born in Kenya and thus ineligible, it would show the leader of their party to be a con man — or
worse — and that would leave the Democratic Party either without a nominee or overrun with
disillusioned Obama supporters who would stay home on election day. Therefore, given the news media's
well-known favoritism toward Democrats, this story will go unreported until at least November.
Birth certificate "painter" mocks
Obama claim that image proves authenticity. In a rambling interview with the Daily
Kos — the blog site that published the supposedly authentic Barack Hussein Obama birth certificate
and his own birth certificate manipulations in the same June 12 post, Jay McKinnon, aka opendna,
says he manipulated the Obama birth certificate to create a blank Hawaii birth certificate as
a "template," supposedly for a John McCain birth certificate. But he says it was not an
attempt at deception but a "lame joke" that he now regrets.
Document forensics expert: Obama
"birth certificate" a "horrible forgery". The purported birth certificate was published by the
left wing Daily Kos blog on June 12 in response to unconfirmed reports that Obama was not in fact born in
the United States (Canada and Kenya were suggested as the possible locations of his actual birth). Since
he would in that case not be a natural born US citizen (his mother was not present in the US sufficiently long
as an adult to pass American citizenship on to him automatically), he would not be eligible to be president.
Claim: Obama's "birth certificate"
forged with sister Maya's original. Independent analysts, working separately, claim to have
discovered that the original Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth used in the fabrication of the Barack
Obama "birth certificate" belongs to the Presidential candidate's younger half-sister, Maya.
Obama's Fake Birth Certificate: Why I'm right, and they're
wrong! OK, it's time to let the genie out of the bottle, and prove, once and for all time, that
the images posted on the Internet are NOT true, original copies of Obama's birth certificate (rather "Certification
of Live Birth", or COLB), that they NEVER WERE true, original copies, and if anyone tells you anything
different, that they are flat-out wrong.
No Paperwork For
Obama Grants From 1997 To 2000. [Obama] won't release his application to the state bar. He's never
released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to Tony Rezko.
He's never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor. Does it bother anyone that a guy
with political ambitions for his entire adult life has not left a paper trail?
Obama
Refuses to Answer Birth Certificate Lawsuit. [Philip J.] Berg's suit and allegations have set
off a wave of Internet buzz and rumors, though Obama could easily have put the matter to rest by providing
the federal court with the basic documentation proving he is eligible to take the oath of a president.
But Obama has apparently decided to deny the court and the public that documentation.
MSM
Ignores Democrat Lawsuit Against Obama. In the lawsuit, [Phillip] Berg states that Sen. Obama was
born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit,
Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late
stage of her pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight." As Sen. Obama's
own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann
Dunham — Obama's mother — gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to
Hawaii to register the birth.
Born
in the U.S.A.? A Lafayette Hill attorney filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday challenging
Sen. Barack Obama's claim to United States citizenship. The action seeks to remove the Democratic candidate
from the November ballot. … On Thursday [8/21/2008], Philip Berg filed a temporary restraining order in
federal court to bar Obama from running for president, claiming the Democratic candidate was actually born in
Africa. "We really don't believe he was born in Hawaii," Berg said. "We think he was born in Kenya."
Obama Sued
in Philadelphia Federal Court. [Philip] Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding
the Illinois senator's background, and in today's [8/21/2008] lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born
U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg
also cites what he calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
"Barack H. Obama claims
he was born in Hawaii;
however, his grandmother in Kenya, brother and sister claim they were
present during Obama's birth in Kenya."
[Semicolon added]
Opposing viewpoint: Here's
the truth about Obama birth certificate. Since we first wrote about Sen. Barack Obama's birth
certificate June 16, speculation on his citizenship has continued apace. Some claim Obama posted a
fake birth certificate to his Web page.
Born in the U.S.A.: The truth
about Obama's birth certificate. Recently FactCheck representatives got a chance to spend some
time with the birth certificate, and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides
at the Obama headquarters in Chicago.
Rebuttal: Inconsistencies undermine FactCheck report
on Obama "birth certificate". For an organization that claims to be fastidious with the facts, the
sentence is vague and overly cute. Who made the invitation to "spend some time with the certificate"?
How exactly did it happen that they "got a chance"? Did FactCheck approach the Obama Campaign or did the
Obama Campaign approach FactCheck? And what are the forensic analysis credentials of the FactCheck staff
that allows them to conclude definitively that the birth certificate is real and original? And when is
"recently"?
AP photo of school register reveals "Barry
Soetoro" as muslim Indonesian. A 2007 Associated Press photograph, suppressed until now, shows the
school register of the child who is today known as Barack Hussein Obama but was officially listed then as Barry
Soetoro, whose citizenship was listed as "Indonesian" and whose religion was listed as "Islam." The visual
evidence starkly contradicts the Obama campaign's claim that he was not a Muslim and confirms that he is a
national of at least one other country.
LOLo: one certificate theory crashes
but new Obama citizenship doubts arise. The latest assaults on the murky citizenship status of the
Senator and Presidential candidate are focused on several separate initiatives. One focuses on the issue of
allegedly double or even triple citizenship that Obama may to possess as the result of the foreign origin of his
presumed Kenyan birth father and that of his Indonesian step-father, Lolo Soetoro, both Muslims.
'Fight
the Smears' Website Admits Obama was Kenyan Citizen: Where's the MSM? [I]n response to the charge
that Barack Obama is not an American citizen, Obama's Fight the Smears website, quoting FactCheck.Org, has made a
bombshell admission ... Barack Obama was once a citizen of Kenya. You read that right, Obama had Kenyan
citizenship until 1982.
This could be the
game changer. Someone with the unlikely name of Molotov Mitchell has produced a 10 minute
and 52 second video [watch it below] that could well change the terms of the election — if enough
people watch it. Illuminati Productions has posted it to YouTube. … It makes accessible to the
general public some of the serious questions about Obama's citizenship status that have been vetted
almost exclusively in the conservative web world.
This is the video mentioned in the article immediately above:
Update: Senator
Obama and the DNC file for dismissal of Berg vs. Obama. On Thursday September 24th, 2008
Senator Obama and the Democratic National Committee filed a motion to dismiss the Berg vs. Obama lawsuit on
the basis that the Court does not have jurisdiction because Mr. Berg "lacks standing to challenge the
qualifications of a candidate for President of the United States."
Democrat sues Sen. Obama over
'fraudulent candidacy'. A prominent Pennsylvania Democrat has sued Sen. Barack Obama, the
Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Obama is not a natural-born
citizen and, therefore, is not eligible to be president of the United States.
DNC steps in to silence lawsuit over
Obama birth certificate. The man suing Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee
for proof of Obama's American citizenship is outraged that his own party — rather than just
providing the birth certificate he seeks — would step in to silence him by filing a motion to
dismiss his lawsuit. … [attorney Philip J.] Berg told WND the longer the DNC tries to ignore his
lawsuit or make it go away — instead of just providing the documents — the more
convinced he is that his accusations are correct.
Former
UT law grad sues Obama, questions citizenship. Philip J. Berg, a former University of
Toledo School of Law graduate, has filed a lawsuit against Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
He's claiming the Illinois senator is not a U.S. citizen and therefore ineligible to run for president.
If elected, his selection to the presidency would cause a crisis within the U.S. Constitution. "If we
can't enforce our constitution, especially a candidate for president, we're in real trouble in this country,
more trouble than you really want to believe and it's frightening," said Berg from his offices in Lafayette
Hill, Penn., a suburb of Philadelphia.
My Mother's Birth
Certificate — And Obama's. You would think that Obama would have volunteered
the "proof" of his eligibility within a nanosecond of entering the race. But here we
are, less than two weeks away from the election, and Americans still don't know if Obama is
an American! While Obama's camp submitted a supposedly authentic birth certificate to
the far-left blog Daily Kos, it was found to have been a photo-shopped version of the birth
certificate of his half-sister, who was actually born in Hawaii, as Obama claims he was.
The birth certificate provided by the Obama campaign lists the father's race as "African,"
a term that likely would not have been used for a newborn child's race in 1961. A birth
certificate in that time period would probably have listed the race as "Negro" or "colored." Those may
not be politically correct terms today, but they were in widespread use in 1961. The use of the word
"African" on the Obama form thus further suggests that the document provided by his campaign was a
newly-created fabrication, prepared by someone unfamiliar with 1961
society.
Marquis V
Reed — WA Sec Of State Wants Proof Of Obama's US Citizenship. The
"certificate" that Mr. Obama has posted on his official WEB site is a "Certification of Live
Birth," and not a "Birth Certificate" from Hawaii. There is no indication on even this
certificate as to specifically where the birth took place. Researchers have claimed to have
been unable to locate any birthing records in island hospitals for Barak Obama's mother.
Mr. Obama has offered none for review. Three forensic document experts have published
extensive reports claiming that there is evidence of tampering on even the Obama WEB site
displayed certificate.
Photo
Documents Barry Soetoro: Indonesian Citizen, Muslim Religion. This AP photo is compelling
evidence of the following assertions ... [1.] Barack Obama had Indonesian citizenship [2.] Barack
Obama had the legal name Barry Soetoro [3.] Barack Obama was a Muslim, despite his "fight the
smears" claim that he never has been.
Berg
v. Obama continues to be ignored in the "media". There continues to be little coverage of
Berg v. Obama in the media. (For the purpose of this article, we define "media" as those venues
available to the general public other than those exclusively available on the Internet.)
Unconvinced Obama's a
citizen. [There is a] pending lawsuit in U.S. District Court of Pennsylvania against Barack
Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission regarding Obama's citizenship.
This suit, filed prior to the Democratic National Convention contends that even if Obama was born in the U.S.,
his citizenship was renounced and he became a citizen of Indonesia when his mother married Lolo Soetoro.
It also alleges his status changed when his Indonesian father acknowledged him as his child. Dual
citizenship was not allowed in Indonesia at the time, according to the suit.
More Berg v. Obama et al. If there is
indeed absolutely no doubt about Obambi's eligibility for office, and that might very well be the case, why
the obfuscation? Why the massive outlay of funds and time to prevent those easily producible documents
from being released? Why, indeed, is this the case with any papers pertaining to Obambi's background?
His health records, his school records etc. etc. Is this the behavior of somebody who has absolutely
nothing to hide? Not in our book.
Final Report On
Obama Birth Certificate Forgery: Change You Can Believe In. Techdude delivers a final
report that exceeds my wildest expectations. It is irrefutable, empirical evidence — Obama's
birth certificate is a forgery. ... My deepest thanks and appreciation for Techdude's unwavering commitment
to the truth despite the threats and harassment, the slashed tires and the dead animal on his porch.
Insofar as "techdude's" credentials, he is an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners,

Barack Obama and the End of the Republic.
Evidence appears to be mounting that strongly indicates Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama is
not a natural-born United States citizen, which is required of all who run for the presidency of the USA.
Attorney Philip J. Berg filed a lawsuit against Barack Obama and the DNC (Democrat National Committee)
on 15 September 2008. Neither Obama nor the DNC have responded to the suit — indicating
that they admit the charges brought by Berg are accurate.
WND's Corsi probing Obama's Hawaiian
birth. WND senior investigative reporter Jerome Corsi, who recently returned from a trip to
Kenya with revelations about Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's participation in a foreign
nation's internal politics, now has been dispatched to Hawaii to uncover the truth of the senator's Hawaiian
birth. ... Corsi reported that when he was in Kenya he was told that Obama actually was born not in Honolulu
but in Mombosa, on the Kenyan coast. He also said he was told by government officials there all
those records were sealed and nothing could be released.
Obama 'admits' Kenyan birth?
Pennsylvania Democrat Philip J. Berg ... filed suit in U.S. District Court in August, alleging Obama is
not a natural-born citizen and is thus ineligible to serve as president of the United States. Though
Obama has posted an image of a Hawaii birth certificate online, Berg demands that the court verify the
original document, which the Obama campaign has not provided. Now Berg cites Rule 36 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which states that unless the accused party provides written answer or
objection to charges within 30 days, the accused legally admits the matter.
Is Barack Obama the 'Manchurian
Candidate'? [Scroll down] Philip J. Berg, the former Deputy Attorney General of
the State of Pennsylvania and two-time Democratic candidate for governor has filed suit in federal court
in an effort to force Barack Obama to produce a valid birth Certificate. Rather than produce the
certificate in federal court as ordered by a judge, Obama has provided images of the document to a
friendly web site, ignored the judge and filed a motion to dismiss the case, admitted that he holds
dual citizenship with the US and Kenya, and file a Joint Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery,
which should put the matter to rest until after the election. Doesn't it seem strange that
if Obama is really qualified to hold the office of president, that he refuse to provide the original copy
of his birth certificate to a federal judge, which would put the matter to rest once and for all.
[Emphasis added]
Strange
case of Obama birth record. The senator's paternal grandmother says she was present in the
delivery room at his birth — in Kenya. At least that is the claim of Pennsylvania lawyer
Philip J. Berg. To legally be president, one must be a natural born citizen of the
United States of America. ... The senator and his half-sister both say he was born in Hawaii,
only they can't agree on which hospital he was born in.
Suit challenges Obama's birth place.
A Warren County man is taking the long-simmering dispute over Barack Obama's birthplace — Hawaii or Kenya? — to
court. David M. Neal of Turtlecreek Township plunked down a $200 fee to file a lawsuit Friday [10/24/2008] in
Warren Common Pleas Court in Lebanon. The suit seeks to force state and federal officials to take more steps to
settle, once and for all, the question of Obama's legitimacy as a potential president.
Berg lawsuit on
Obama birth certificate reportedly dismissed. The Philadelphia Daily News reports that Philip
Berg's lawsuit to compel the production of the Obama birth certificate has been dismissed by U.S. District
Judge R. Barclay Surrick. Berg is appealing the decision.
Judge
rejects Montco lawyer's bid to have Obama removed from ballot. A federal judge in Philadelphia
last night threw out a complaint by a Montgomery County lawyer who claimed that Democratic presidential
candidate Barack Obama was not qualified to be president and that his name should be removed from the
Nov. 4 ballot. Philip J. Berg alleged in a complaint filed in federal district court on
Aug. 21 against Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission, that
Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya.
Lawsuit Against
Obama Dismissed from Philadelphia Federal Court. The order and memorandum came down at
approximately 6:15 p.m. on Friday [10/24/2008]. Philip Berg's lawsuit challenging Illinois Sen.
Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president of the United States had been dismissed by
the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick on grounds that the Philadelphia attorney and former Deputy Attorney General
for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania lacked standing.
Who Enforces the
Constitution's Natural Born Citizen Clause? If you believe in individual rights and the notion
that our Constitution is a document granting enumerated but limited powers to the federal government, then
you have reason to be troubled by the recent dismissal in Berg v. Obama et al. Philip Berg,
Democrat and former Assistant Attorney General for Pennsylvania, brought suit alleging that under the Natural
Born Citizen Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Barack Obama is ineligible to be President.
Obama Birth Certificate? Another
Lawsuit Filed On His POTUS Eligibility. Thanks to the lawsuit filed by Philip Berg, Obama now
ADMITS (on his "Fight the Smears" website and factcheck.org) that he held dual citizenship with Kenya as a
child. This, in and of itself, may arguably disqualify him under Article II as the whole point of the
"Natural Born Citizen" requirement is the avoidance of divided allegiances.
The Man From Mombassa: The only
way left for citizens to avoid a Constitutional crisis will be to exercise their right by voting against Sen.
Obama. If, indeed, he is disqualified by virtue of not having been a natural-born citizen, it means that
as a lawyer and teacher of constitutional law he clearly knew he did not qualify to do so. If so, that
is such an egregious lie that he not only should not be permitted to hold the highest office, but should consider
returning to the land of his birth. He is surely not the only candidate for president to have lied to advance
his campaign, but he may turn out be the only one who never had the right to have run at all.
Ruling to come on Obama
birth case. A Warren County magistrate said he'll decide tomorrow whether Ohio Secretary of
State Jennifer Brunner has to get proof that Barack Obama was born in the United States. David M.
Neal, a Turtlecreek Township resident who runs a political Web site, filed suit last week, saying state and
federal government leaders have failed to verify that Obama was born in Hawaii, instead of Kenya.
Democrat: Obama's grandma
confirms Kenyan birth. The Pennsylvania Democrat who has sued Sen. Barack Obama demanding
he prove his American citizenship — and therefore qualification to run for president — has confirmed
he has a recording of a telephone call from the senator's paternal grandmother confirming his birth
in Kenya.
Obama's birth certificate sealed
by Hawaii governor. Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become
a focus of intense speculation — and even several lawsuits — WND has learned that Hawaii's
Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal and instructed the state's
Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under
any circumstances. The governor's office officially declined a request made in writing by WND in
Hawaii to obtain a copy of the hospital-generated original birth certificate of Barack Obama.
Spotting the
Camouflaged Candidate. [Scroll down] Why did Obama remain motionless when his US
citizenship was challenged in court? Obama did not respond with the documentation demanded by
the suit, yet it should have been easy to produce if he has nothing to hide. Why the mysterious
silence? Once again, it's not what we saw, but what we didn't see that causes suspicion.
Obama challenge
rejected. A Warren County magistrate didn't buy David M. Neal's argument that Brunner
had a duty to verify whether Obama qualified to be president. Neal relied too much on what he
read on the Web, Magistrate Andrew Hasselbach said. "The onus is upon one who challenges such
public officer to demonstrate an abuse of discretion by admissible evidence — not hearsay,
conclusory allegations or pure speculation," Hasselbach wrote in his decision issued shortly before
noon today.
Barack Obama's family in Kenya stops media interviews.
The Kenya family of US Democratic presidential [1] candidate Barack Obama has halted all media engagements until after
the US presidential election on November 4. The move has been taken to give Obama's paternal grandmother,
Mama Sarah Onyango Obama a break, according to a family member Mr Said Obama.
[ ... and perhaps to keep her from repeating her claim that she witnessed Barack Obama's birth?]
Obama's
Contempt For The Constitution: According to Raymond S. Kraft, an attorney and writer:
"The president, The Supreme Court justices and all members of Congress have taken an oath to defend and protect
the Constitution and have an affirmative duty to protect the Constitution by doing whatever is necessary to
insure that presidential (and congressional) candidates meet the constitutional requirements for the offices
they seek. It is a mandatory duty, and failure to do so violate their oaths of office. If they
don't follow this oath in Mr. Obama's case, it will be the biggest swindle in American history, allowing
Obama and the DNC to have concealed his true identity and lack of citizenship, thereby conning Democrats out
of hundreds of millions of dollars of campaign contributions. If justice is served, dozens of 'leading'
Democrats should go to prison for fraud."
An Open
Letter to Barack Obama: Are you a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S.? Are you
legally qualified to hold the Office of President?
Post-Election,
Berg v. Obama Continues. Today [11/7/2008], attorney Philip Berg disseminated a press
release reminding all that, despite the results of Tuesday's election, his lawsuit against now
President-elect Barack Obama is alive and well. As it stands now, the United States Supreme
Court is awaiting a response which may or may not come from Obama, the DNC and Federal Election
Commission by December 1, 2008. ... Some, like myself, are conflicted. On one hand, Obama
received 63 million votes on Tuesday but, on the other hand, if Berg is correct he shouldn't
have been there in the first place.
Obama camp: Lawsuits by
citizens are 'garbage'. More than a half-dozen legal challenges have been filed in federal and
state courts demanding President-elect Barack Obama's decertification from ballots or seeking to halt elector
meetings, claiming he has failed to prove his U.S. citizenship status. An Obama campaign spokeswoman
told WND the complaints are unfounded.
Alan Keyes, AIP leaders sue in CA court to
obtain Obama citizenship proof. Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate
Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson, have filed suit in
California Superior Court in Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a
Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a "natural
born" citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.
Former Obama opponent now suing to
prove President-Elect's citizenship. A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt
him over questions regarding Obama's citizenship. According to a press release from the American
Independent Party, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed
suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to
President-elect Barack Obama until documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural
born citizen of the United States.

Tells Us' Edition. A former opponent of Barack Obama's has come back to haunt him over questions
regarding Obama's citizenship. According to a press release from the American Independent Party, former
presidential candidate Alan Keyes and other members of the party have filed suit in California Superior Court
in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to President-elect Barack Obama until
documentary evidence is provided to prove Obama is indeed a natural born citizen of the United States.
Buena Park pastor files
suit to keep Obama from taking office. A Buena Park pastor and vice-presidential candidate noted for his
politics from the pulpit is a party to a lawsuit seeking to keep President-elect Barack Obama from taking office.
The lawsuit claims Obama has not provided sufficient proof he is a U.S. citizen, and asks that Secretary of State Debra
Bowen not certify California's election results until he provides more concrete evidence.
'Constitutional crisis' looming over
Obama's birth location. The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's
55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack
Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of
former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others. The legal action today [11/14/2008] is just the latest is a
series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's
status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.
Obama's pesky loose
ends: As this columnist has indicated previously, for reasons that beg deeper
analysis, grave and troubling facts pertaining to President-elect Barack Obama were kept from
the electorate by the establishment press. It is therefore arguable that had some or all
of these come to light and been scrutinized with half the alacrity as was Sarah Palin's
wardrobe, Obama may never have been elected at all.
Supremes to review Barack's
citizenship. A case that challenges President-elect Barack Obama's name on the 2008
election ballot citing questions over his citizenship has been scheduled for a "conference" at the
U.S. Supreme Court. Conferences are private meetings of the justices at which they review
cases and decide which ones to accept for formal review. This case is set for a conference Dec. 5,
just 10 days before the Electoral College is scheduled to meet to make formal the election of
Obama as the nation's next president.
U.S. Supreme Court
Decisions on Berg, Donofrio Cases Could Be Imminent. Contrary to Internet rumor that Justice
Souter had ordered Barack Obama to provide the vault copy of his birth certificate, the Court merely set
December 1, 2008 as the date by which the respondents — Obama, the Democratic National
Committee and Federal Election Commission — were to respond to Berg's petition if they chose
to do so at all. Yesterday's filing, which appeared on the docket this afternoon, shows
that the respondents have waived their right to respond. It also suggests that a decision on
Berg's petition could be imminent.
Duo Take Obama Birth Challenge to
Court. Lawsuits over the inclusion of their names on state general-election ballots popped up
around the country and were quickly dispensed with by local courts. But two challengers have pursued their
cases to the Supreme Court. Pennsylvania lawyer Philip Berg claims that the circumstances of Obama's
birth are vague and that he may have been born in Kenya. Obama's mother, Berg asserts, later flew to
Hawaii to register the birth.
Obama's Birth Certificate Challenger
Keeps Going. One of the pillars of [Philip J.] Berg's argument is that Obama doesn't have a
legally-valid U.S. birth certificate because he was born in Kenya. Though debunking specialists from
Snopes.com and Factcheck.org have asserted the validity of a birth certificate released by the Obama campaign
and affirmed by the State of Hawaii, Berg remains unconvinced. Factcheck.org, he said, is suspect because
it is run by a group called Annenberg of Chicago, where Obama once sat on a board with William Ayers.
Snopes.com worked off the same false document, he said.
Kenyan Ambassador Admits
Obama Was Born in Kenya. Mark Fellhauer, Mike Wolters, and Mike Clark of Detroit's "Mike in the
Morning" show on WRIF-FM spoke with the Kenyan Ambassador to the U.S. Peter Ogego and got him to admit,
matter-of-factly, that Barack Hussein Obama was, indeed, born in Kenya.
You must register to become
president. In Detroit, shortly after the General Election, Mike Clark, host of WRIF Radio's
Mike in the Morning Show, called the Kenyan Embassy to learn the reaction in Kenya to Obama becoming
elected President of the United States as he jokingly congratulated Kenya on becoming our 51st state.
Clark's call was put through to Kenyan Ambassador to the U.S. Peter Ogego, who told Clark Kenya had already
declared a public holiday that Thursday in Obama's honor. Approximately 12 minutes and 30 seconds
into the interview, Clark's co-host asks Ogega, "President-elect Obama's birthplace over in Kenya, is that
going to be a national spot to go visit, where he was born?" Ogego answers, "It's, uh, already an
attraction. His, his, uh, paternal grandmother is still alive..." When Ogego was asked, "But his
birthplace, they'll put up a marker there?" he responded, "It depends on the government; it's already well
known."
Why the Barack Obama
Birth Certificate Issue Is Legitimate. (1.) Under Hawaiian law, it is possible (both
legally and illegally) for a person to have been born out of state, yet have a birth certificate on file
in the Department of Health. (2.) Contrary to what you may have read, no document made available
to the public, nor any statement by Hawaiian officials, evidences conclusively that Obama was born in
Hawaii. (3.) It has been reported that the Kenyan government has sealed Obama's records.
If he were born in Kenya, as has been rumored even recently, the Kenyan government would certainly have many
incentives to keep that undisclosed.
The Great Obama Swindle
of 2008. According to their oaths of office, every Democrat member of Congress has an affirmative
duty to assure that their presidential candidate is constitutionally qualified. As soon as questions
about Obama's birth arose, every Democrat in Congress had a mandatory duty to confirm his eligibility by
demanding release of his birth records. But, they have not. Not to my knowledge. Instead,
every Democrat in Congress is complicit in the cover up — the cover up — of Obama's birth certificate, by
failing to demand full disclosure to confirm his place of birth.
The
Great Birth Certificate Scandal/Cover-Up of '08. It is no mystery that the leftist media
have refused to mention this potentially looming Constitutional crisis in virtually all of their print
and electronic coverage. Having shilled for Obama for the past two years — dismissing his
longtime radical associations, obfuscating his radical voting record, and taking a pass at their
jobs of vetting a presidential candidate — their failure to cover the most explosive story of
the 2008 campaign speaks volumes about collusion of the highest order.
Justice Thomas
distributes Obama case for conference. On Wednesday, Nov. 19, U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas distributed Leo C. Denofrio's renewed application for a stay of the election for conference
on Dec. 5. If four of the nine justices favor review, a hearing will be scheduled. His
first application was denied by Justice David Souter on Nov. 6. However, rules of the court allow
for the renewed submission to a justice of choice. Beginning in October, Denofrio made his way up
through the ranks of the courts until his constitutional question as to the meaning of "natural born
citizen" reached the Supreme Court.

Edwin Vieira, a constitutional lawyer who has practiced for 30 years and holds four degrees from Harvard, said
if it were to be discovered Mr. Obama were not eligible for the presidency, it would cause many problems. They
would be compounded if his ineligibility were discovered after he had been in office for a period of time. "Let's
assume he wasn't born in the U.S.," Mr. Vieira told The Bulletin. "What's the consequence? He will not be
eligible. That means he cannot be elected validly. The people and the Electoral College cannot overcome
this and the House of Representatives can't make him president. So what's the next step? He takes the
oath of office, and assuming he's aware he's not a citizen, then it's a perjured oath." Any appointments made
by an ineligible president would have to be recalled, and their decisions would be invalidated.
Kentucky man demands proof of Obama's U.S.
birth. Daniel John Essek, 47, filed a demand last week that Obama prove he is a natural-born U.S.
citizen — one of the few requirements to run for president. Essek wants Obama to provide a copy of his
birth certificate to a federal judge in London [Kentucky] for verification.
2008: The Year of Obama. How the Democrat Party
chose Obama to represent their party remains a mystery. ... Now we find out from Obama's grandmother that he was born in
Mombosa, Kenya, Africa — not in America. Obama's own grandmother said he was born in Kenya. While
politicians are for it, grandmothers seldom lie. It's recorded on tape: "I was in the delivery room in Kenya,
when he was born August 4, 1961." — Sarah Obama, Obama's paternal grandmother. I guess the Democrat
party forgot to check out this guy's background.
Will Supreme Court take case on Obama's
citizenship? The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday [12/5/2008] whether to take up a
lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case
embraced by many opponents of Obama's election. The meeting of justices will coincide with a vigil
by the filer's supporters in Washington on the steps of the nation's highest court. The suit
originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey
Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells.
Trashing the Constitution to allow for Obama's
hidden birth certificate. Barack Obama has successfully merged Chicago with Clinton-era
politics. With that, we now have the Three D's rearing their ugly heads again. For those of you
who were in elementary school when Bill Clinton was president, the three D's stood for "deny, delay,
destroy". In this case, with regards to the whole Barack Obama birth certificate stall, the "destroy"
part is in regards to the U.S. Constitution, and it takes time (deny and delay) to do this.
Supreme
Court may hear Obama citizenship suit. The Supreme Court plans to decide Friday [12/6/2008]
whether to hear a case that could determine whether President-elect Barack Obama ever becomes the nation's
full-fledged president. The Supreme Court judges' conference today will consider the lawsuit filed by
New Jersey attorney Leo Donofrio. He contends Mr. Obama is not a "natural born citizen," as the U.S.
Constitution requires.
Why the POTUS Needs to Be a Natural-Born
Citizen. To be clear, I have no decided position on whether or not President-Elect Barack
Obama is a natural-born citizen or otherwise. I believe that we — as a people — need
to base our understanding on any and every issue on the facts. But in the case of Mr. ObamaÕs status
of natural-born citizenship there are too many unanswered questions and not enough transparency where the
facts are concerned. For a candidate who ran his presidential campaign on the promise of transparency,
Mr. Obama has proven in the earliest moments of his executive tenure that transparency is subjective.
Impostor in the
White House? The Supreme Court will get a first look Friday at a little bomb with the potential
to make a big noise. The operative word is "potential." Almost nobody thinks the justices, who can
read election returns as well as the law, will light the fuse. But it's an interesting story, nevertheless,
since we have not yet actually elected a president. This may come as news to millions who voted for
Barack Obama and John McCain and thought Nov. 4 was the end of it.
Supreme
Court mum on Obama-birth case. I'm told by a Supreme Court watcher that the lack of an
announcement doesn't mean the court definitely won't hear Donofrio although he thinks it's safe to say
its unlikely the court won't hear the case. The full orders aren't due until Monday.
Supreme Court today
deliberates suit blocking Obama presidency. It may come as something of a shock to those
millions planning trips to Washington for the Jan. 20 inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama
that he isn't really legally capable of taking the oath. It's the birth certificate thing. ... That's
because he was born in Kenya to an alien father and isn't a natural-born American as the Constitution
requires and the copy of his Hawaii birth certificate looks fake to many and the state won't release the
original, which makes everything that much more suspicious.
Group seeks to have state's votes for
Obama set aside. A group of Washington residents have filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court asking the
state's votes for President-elect Barack Obama be set aside. James E. Broe of King County and 12 others
claim Obama never established that he is a natural-born American citizen as required by the Constitution, and that Obama
ran under a false name.
Trashing the Constitution to allow for Obama's hidden
birth certificate. Barack Obama has successfully merged Chicago with Clinton-era politics. With
that, we now have the Three D's rearing their ugly heads again. For those of you who were in elementary school
when Bill Clinton was president, the three D's stood for "deny, delay, destroy". In this case, with regards to
the whole Barack Obama birth certificate stall, the "destroy" part is in regards to the U.S. Constitution, and it takes

Interview
with Phil J. Berg: Webster Griffin Tarpley interviewed Phil J. Berg in August about the
Berg v. Obama case. A number of things have happened since this interview, nevertheless it
clearly lays out the basics of the lawsuit.
Decision on Obama
citizenship pending. The Supreme Court held off Friday on deciding whether to grant a hearing in
a long-shot lawsuit that would decide whether Barack Obama can constitutionally become president as a "natural
born" U.S. citizen.
Supreme Court to Uphold or Ignore the Constitution?
Make no mistake, Obama supporters have been quite clear about their position on the matter. They do not care whether
or not Obama is constitutionally eligible for the office he seeks. The fact is, Obama supporters have demonstrated
throughout the campaign that they are not in the least impressed by facts, laws, or the constitution. They want what
they want, even when they don't know what that is, and don't know if it's even legal or not. But the rule of
constitutional law must prevail regardless of political ambitions, because the republic itself will fall without
the rule of constitutional law.
That Bleeping Birth
Certificate. [Phillip] Berg is effectively acting as a "Private Attorney General" acting on behalf of
all of the citizens of the United States. He does so because the Federal Election Commission, the other candidates
and the U.S. Attorney General have done nothing to determine Mr. Obama's eligibility. All of them could have and
should have. ... The concept of the private attorney general has existed for a long time. Frequently, it has been
found in class actions where someone seeks to force the government to follow its own rules.
Read this: Obama and the Natural Born
Citizen Clause: As much as we wish the bad thing to go away, the "evidence" brought forth to
prove Obama's natural born status is next to non-existent, despite what you might have read or heard.
Yes, there was a birth announcement in the Honolulu newspaper at the time. Yes, the state of Hawaii said
his birth certificate has been verified. Yes, we've seen Obama's birth certificate and it says he was
born in Honolulu. Each of these claims falls apart upon the slightest examination.
Interview
with Barack Obama's grandmother. This video features the recording and translation of an interview
conducted by Bishop Ron McRae of the Anabaptist Churches of North America of Sarah Obama (Barack Obama's
grandmother) with Kweli Shuhubia translating where Bishop McRae asks Sarah Obama if she was present at Barack
Obama's birth in Kenya.
Justices
to mull Obama citizenship again. On the same day the Supreme Court declined to hear one appeal
challenging Barack Obama's right to become president because of questions about his citizenship, Justice
Antonin Scalia distributed another appeal on the same issue for the court to consider.
Injunction Request
In Obama Case Denied. Philip J. Berg, the Pennsylvania attorney who has filed suit challenging
President-elect Barack Obama's citizenship has had his request for a stay of the Electoral College denied.
Mr. Berg, whose lawsuit contends Mr. Obama does not meet the constitutional eligibility to serve as
president, filed a request with the Supreme Court on Dec. 8 to stay the voting of the Electoral College.
Polarik's final report: Forged
images, phony photos, and felony fraud. [This] report is the culmination of over four months of
intensive, empirical research whose sole purpose has been to determine if the images and photographs posted
on the Internet are true reproductions of a genuine document purported to be Obama's original birth
certificate. The idea for the research actually began from the time when the first image was
posted on June 12 to the Daily Kos blog. ... Before seeing the image, I had no idea that Barack
Obama's birthplace was in question, or that his status as a natural-born US citizen had never been proven.
Obama's own Cabinet member: He's 'an
immigrant'. Don't believe Barack Obama's grandmother? Don't believe the ambassador to
Kenya? How about Barack Obama's own Cabinet member? That's right — former presidential
candidate and Obama's choice for secretary of commerce, Gov. Bill Richardson, slipped up. In an
effort to reach out to the Hispanic community, he admitted what Barack Obama has been trying to hide
all these months: "Barack Obama is an immigrant."
Make the media cover the story of the
century. One of the most often asked questions regarding whether or not Barack Obama meets
the constitutional requirements for the office of president is: "Why hasn't the 'mainstream' media
covered this?" Good question. Well, one thing we found out in the last election is there
isn't anything "mainstream" about the "mainstream" media. There is no longer any doubt about their
pro-Obama bias — even the Washington Post came out and admitted it.
Court throws out another challenge to
Obama's citizenship. The Supreme Court has turned down another challenge to Barack Obama's
eligibility to serve as president because of his citizenship. The appeal by Cort Wrotnowski of
Greenwich, Conn., was denied today [12/15/2008] without comment. Wrotnowski argued that Obama
was a British subject at birth and therefore cannot meet the requirement for becoming president.
America Must Know. Barack Obama has
ADMITTED he had dual citizenship at birth. This is not in question like his place of birth is.
Even if Obama can prove that he was born on American soil, which he can't, he still is ineligible because of
his dual citizenship.
Law sought to prove
candidate citizenship in Oklahoma. A state lawmaker, motivated by swirling questions on whether
President-elect Barack Obama meets the U.S. Constitution's citizenship requirement, said Thursday he will file
a bill requiring anyone who files for office in Oklahoma to show proof of citizenship. "This could have
taken care of the whole thing if we had a state law that any candidate has to show it up front," said Rep. Mike
Ritze, R-Broken Arrow.
Obama citizenship issue has merit, AOL poll
says. America Online is conducting a new poll asking readers whether they believe there is any
merit to the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's citizenship — and most respondents say "yes."
The Ten Grinchiest Republicans
in 2008: (#9) Linda Lingle — I like Hawaii's governor. I really do. But sealing the
birth records of Obama just before the election? Right when the case was building that he was born in Kenya?
It doesn't quite pass the smell test.
The
Supreme Court's Hottest Potato: Recent polls tell us that from 55-60 percent of the American
people now believe that the question of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as President of the United States
has at least some merit. To review the bidding, more than a dozen lawsuits have been filed in federal
courts alleging that Obama cannot serve as president by reason of the fact that he is not a "natural born"
U.S. citizen, as required by Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.
The New Dictator In Washington Will Change
America. Obama should have been stopped on the lack of citizenship issue before it was too
late, but no one would take responsibility for it; not the Republicans; not the media; Not the Federal
Election Commission; not the Supreme Court; not even the Justice Department. Through their negligence,
he has now been given a green light to change America into a socialist dictatorship. We can't say we
weren't warned in plenty of time.
How To Vet A Presidential
Candidate. Because of the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the cases put before them after
conferencing them the speculation about Obama's missing documents including his signed birth certificate
from the state of Hawaii, the mystery grows, the intrigue is compelling and the arguments have become the
most volatile on the web. In the absence of judicial intervention all the questioners and petitioners
have only one avenue of recourse and that is to keep plugging away.
Obama's Revenge: Once upon a
time, a white teenager from Kansas got pregnant by her black Kenyan boyfriend, Barack Obama Sr., or was it
her husband? Whatever. (I say whatever because we've never seen either marriage or divorce
certificates). Some say the couple was in Kenya visiting relatives when the birth of their son,
Barack Obama Jr., occurred. No matter. (I say no matter because we've never seen an authentic
birth certificate). By the time the baby was two years old his father abandoned him for his other
wife and child in Kenya.
Alan Keyes stokes Obama birth
certificate controversy. The controversy over the validity of Barack Obama's birth certificate is back
on a burner with firebrand conservative Alan Keyes making serious new charges. In a video released Friday [2/20/2009],
Keyes, who lost to Obama in the 2004 U.S. Senate race in Illinois that launched the new president's national political
career, calls Obama a communist and usurper and says he refuses to acknowledge the validity of Obama's inauguration over
lingering questions in the minds of many conspiracists about the 44th president's birth place.
Threat of sanctions confirms suspicion Obama
has something to hide. Former U.S. Ambassador Alan Keyes, a 2008 presidential candidate for the American
Independent Party, is a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging President Barack Hussein Obama's constitutional eligibility
to serve as president. Given the constitutional requirement of being a natural born citizen, Keyes said the only
fact citizens need to justify bringing a suit is the fact that Obama ran for president. "He asked to be chosen,
and therefore must answer the eligibility question." Attorney Gary Kreep with the United States Justice Foundation,
a public interest law firm, who is representing Keyes, served Occidental College with a subpoena for Obama's records.
Obama Born In Kenya? His Grandmother Says
Yes. Someone is lying. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his
half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic
candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged that her grandson is about to be President
of the United States and is so proud because she was present during his birth in Kenya, in the
delivery room.
The Evidence is
compelling: Mr. Obama is not eligible to be President!
• To be eligible, Mr. Obama must be a "natural born citizen." Constitution,
Art. II, Sect. 1.
• Original intent: both parents had to be US Citizens and birth had to be on US soil.
• Legal Affidavits state that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya and father was Kenyan citizen.
• An audio tape exists of his grandmother stating she was at his birth in Kenya.
• Hawaii Dept of Health will NOT confirm Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.
• Mr. Obama has only posted an unsigned, computer-generated Hawaii form created in 2007 and
similar to the form used in Hawaii in 1961 to register foreign births.
• "FactCheck.org" which "independently" "verified" Obama's certificate is an arm of the same
corporate Annenberg Foundation that Obama worked for with radical "Weatherman" Bill Ayers.
• U.S. Law in 1961 denied citizenship to a child born in Kenya to Mr. Obama's 18 year old mother.
• Mr. Obama lost his U.S. citizenship (even if he had it) when his mother relinquished her U.S.
citizenship by marrying an Indonesian and becoming a naturalized Indonesian citizen.
Quo
warranto sent to the US attorney for DC, Jeffrey Taylor. Dear U.S. Attorney Taylor: The
issue I lay before you today is the possible usurpation of the Presidency by Barry Soetoro, aka Barack
Obama. ... I am not sure of the birth certificate issue. Either there is, or there is not a Hawaiian
birth certificate, if there is, Soetoro's mother was too young to confer natural born citizenship at the
time; and if there is not a Hawaiian birth certificate, the story would end there, either way. The
crux of the issue, from my layman's point of view, is the Indonesian adoption.
Scalia: You need 4 votes
for Obama eligibility case. A lawyer lobbying the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Supreme
Court for a review of Barack Obama's qualifications to be president says a key conservative justice has hinted
that another conservative justice has been voting against hearing the dispute. According to Orly Taitz,
a California attorney working through her Defend Our Freedoms Foundation on several cases challenging Obama,
said she was presented with an opportunity to ask a question of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
yesterday [3/9/2009].
Alan Keyes: Stop Obama or U.S. will
cease to exist. Alan Keyes, a 2008 presidential candidate who is also a plaintiff in one of the
many lawsuits challenging Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to occupy the Oval Office, charged at a
pro-life rally that unless Obama's social and economic policies are stopped, the United States as we know it
is over.
Senator questions Obama eligibility.
A U.S. senator has weighed in on the continuing controversy over Barack Obama's eligibility for office by saying
he has never seen proof the new president was actually born in Hawaii. "Well, his father was Kenyan and
they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate," Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., told
constituents in Cullman County. "You have to be born in America to be president."
California used to check
prez candidates' eligibility. A California lawsuit seeking documentation from Occidental College
that could verify the nationality under which Barack Obama entered the school points out that the state
formerly reviewed presidential candidates and disqualified those who were ineligible. The arguments are
raised in paperwork submitted by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, which has brought a
lawsuit over Obama's eligibility.
Conference
Discusses Obama's Birth Certificate. A group seeking to force the State of Hawaii to release
President Barack Obama's birth certificate met this past weekend to discuss the prospects of getting the
state to make it public as well as the involved legal issues. So far, efforts to get Hawaii to release
the birth certificate have been hampered by the doctrine of legal standing, which requires a plaintiff to
show how he or she has been directly harmed by another person's actions. In this case, courts have repeatedly
ruled ordinary citizens cannot sue Mr. Obama to obtain his birth certificate because they lack standing.
The Obama Timeline: Obama's Birth Certificate. [Scroll
down] In the latter stages of the campaign a myriad of rumors arise suggesting that Obama was not born in Hawaii
and was actually born in Kenya. Those stories are fueled partly by reports that his father's relatives had
witnessed his birth in Kenya. In an effort to squelch the "born in Kenya" rumors, Obama's campaign posts an
image of his Hawaiian birth certificate on the Internet, which is almost immediately suspected of being a
forgery.

Constitutional Lawyer
Discusses Ramifications Of Controversy. Controversy continues to surround President-elect
Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president, and a case involving his birth certificate waits for
its day before the U.S. Supreme Court. A constitutional lawyer said were it to be discovered that
Mr. Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, it would have grave consequences for the nation.
Let's
Declassify Obama's Birth Certificate Along With the 'Torture' Memos. As long as we're creating a
paper trail a mile long and a mile wide, Obama might want to keep the momentum going and release that long form
birth certificate we keep hearing so much about. ... Hey, if it's no problem to release classified documents,
the birth certificate should be an easy call, as to my knowledge it's not classified.
Federal criminal complaint
contends Obama ineligible. An ex-military officer has raised the stakes in the ongoing dispute
over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, filing a criminal complaint against the "imposter" with
the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of Tennessee.
Chief justice accepts
'eligibility' petition. According to Orly Taitz, the attorney who confronted Chief Justice
John Roberts at a lecture at the University of Idaho, the judge promised before the gathered crowd that
he would, indeed, read and review the briefs and petition.
69 Million Americans Elected this Man as
President? We have now, a man that was elected by 69 million citizens (minus the many
challenges of multiple votes, votes from ineligible aliens, and outright fraud.) And even he himself
appears to be unqualified in meeting the United States Constitution's requirement to be a natural born
citizen. This latter allegation is on the agendas for court rulings in several states as well as the
United States Supreme Court. Challenges for proof of satisfactorily meeting the natural born requirement
have been sloughed off by several judges who were in all probability, in agreement with those who say it
doesn't matter whether Obama is or is not a natural born citizen.
The Obama Birth
Certificate: Under Hawaiian law, it is possible (both legally and illegally) for a person to
have been born out of state, yet have a birth certificate on file in the Department of Health. ... Please get
this straight: Hawaiian officials have not validated AKA OBAMA's place of birth. What they have
said is that they "have the original document" on file. They haven't offered a clue as to what information
is in that document. They cannot legally validate what is on that document without a court order or
permission from "our" Chicago con-man.
Birth certificate issue No. 1 at Fox News.
Barack Obama's elusive long-form birth certificate that would establish his eligibility to serve as president as a "natural
born citizen" is the hottest discussion topic at the Fox News Channel's website.
Gibbs
on 'burgeoning... controversy': At Robert Gibbs' Wednesday [5/27/2009] briefing, radio host Lester Kinsolving
asked whether the White House would satisfy several hundred thousand petitioners by releasing "a certified copy of [Obama's]
long-form birth certificate." Gibbs appeared incredulous. "You're looking for the president's birth certificate?
It's on the Internet, Lester." "Long-form, listing his hospital and physician," Kinsolving clarified. Laughing,
Gibbs replied: "Lester, this question, in many ways, continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a
copy with the seal of the president's birth."
New bid to unseal Obama's birth certificate.
A Chicago activist who has pursued a challenge to Barack Obama's eligibility to be president since before the 2008 election
is asking an appeals court in Hawaii to order the release of the president's original birth certificate, explaining that
state officials have waived their ability to claim any further it is a private document.
Obama and
the Birth of Mobocracy in America. Obama came to power via fraud. He is not a 'natural born' U.S. citizen.
The clear proof of that is that despite 31 lawsuits filed against him demanding he prove his eligibility for the U.S.
Presidency, he has instead hired three law firms and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid discovery and evade a
judicial review. The result is that not one of these 31 cases received a hearing on its merits. But why is
it that judges have been unwilling to tackle Obama's eligibility problem? The answer is that most now suspect Obama is
not eligible and are afraid of the political chaos that would result from such a discovery. They are afraid of what his
supporters would do. They know that if they overturn Obama's presidency, his millions of fans will turn American
cities into warzones.
Eligibility debate explodes on White House
'dialogue' site. The entire transparency portion of the White House website on "open government dialogue"
has been overrun with citizens calling on Barack Obama to release his elusive "long-form" birth certificate to establish
his constitutional eligibility to serve as president. The forums are open to the public for participation.
Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, has been urging those concerned about the issue to get involved.
2nd congressman: Prove eligibility. Now there
are two. A Virginia congressman, very quietly, has signed onto a measure in Congress that would require presidential
candidates to verify their eligibility to hold the highest elected office in the United States. WND earlier reported
when freshman Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., filed H.R. 1503, an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.
What is a "Natural Born Citizen?"
Although President Obama has a Kenyan father, and was later adopted by an Indonesian national, the fact that
his mother was a citizen should legitimize his being born a U.S. citizen. At question is whether his
citizenship was renounced when he moved to Indonesia with his mother and adopted father and attended a Muslim
school. It is unlikely his birth certificate would indicate that he is born of some other lineage,
however his birth certificate is sealed and the public does not have access to his records.
Can the US Constitution Survive Dictator
Obama? In light of the now almost daily bombardment of the US Constitution by the sitting US
Commander in Chief, the question 'is our Constitution still the law of the land?' is increasingly being
asked by We-the-People. The problem of Barack Hussein Obama seeming not to be a natural-born citizen is
still an extremely salient issue — an issue that has led Obama to hire a team of lawyers to keep all
information on his actual country of birth and all of his college records hidden. The latest estimate
on the fees charged to do so is over $1 Million.

Senator calls for vetting of candidates'
eligibility. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., says it's the responsibility of the states to make sure political
candidates are eligible for the offices they seek, but he's in favor of both state and federal demands that future
presidential candidates have a formal procedure to document their qualifications.
Obama Birth Announcement Forged.
Editor's note: This
page starts with a fairly convincing analysis, although the rest of the page is full of speculation that
is mostly dubious at best. One angle presented on this page that I've never heard before is the
possibility that Barack Obama "is older than he claims so the possibility exists that he was born in
Hawaii before Statehood in August, 1959," which would tend to disqualify him.
An Endangered America. So long as we
have the right to make our voices heard, we must demand an end to the plundering of the public treasury, an end to public
ownership of private enterprises, and an end to the effort to control our lives through the takeover of the nation's
healthcare system. July 4th is a good day to demand that President Barack Hussein Obama — if he
really was born in Mombassa, Kenya, then raised in Indonesia, and leaving no discernible paper trail
in America — resign before he does further harm to all Americans, to the American dream, and to the
hope of freedom in the hearts of men and women everywhere in the world.
Major Cook is an officer, not just a "soldier". Soldier balks at deploying; says Obama isn't
president. U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, set to deploy to Afghanistan, says he shouldn't
have to go. His reason? Barack Obama was never eligible to be president because he wasn't born in
the United States.
Retired general, lieutenant
colonel join reservist's lawsuit over Obama's birth status. A controversial suit brought by
a U.S. Army reservist has been joined by a retired Army two-star general and an active reserve Air Force
lieutenant colonel. Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook filed the suit July 8 in federal court here asking
for conscientious objector status and a preliminary injunction based upon his belief that Barack Obama is not
a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of
the U.S. Armed Forces.
Orders revoked for soldier challenging
prez. A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan
within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a
president who has not proven his eligibility for office. His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the
military has rescinded his impending deployment orders.
Soldier who says
Obama isn't president doesn't have to deploy, Army says. U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook,
the reserve soldier who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was
never eligible to be president, has had his deployment orders revoked, Army officials said. Lt. Col.
Maria Quon, U.S. Army Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Army Human Resources Command-St. Louis, said Tuesday
evening, Cook was no longer expected to report Wednesday to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida for
mobilization to active duty.
The mystery letter. [Scroll
down] Obama has maintained he was born in Hawaii, and at least one hospital, Honolulu's Kapi'olani Medical
Center for Women and Children, claims it received a letter from the president declaring his birth there. ... When
WND exposed doubts about the authenticity of the letter because it was created with HTML computer code and had
no presidential or White House seal, the hospital which for nearly six months proudly declared Obama was born
at its facility commenced an active cover-up, hiding that White House letter from its original webpage and
refusing to confirm such a letter actually exists.
Affadavit of Bishop Ron
McRae: [Scroll down to page 3] Additionally, it is common knowledge throughout both the
Christian and Muslim communities in Kenya, that contrary to news media propagandas here in the United States,
US Senator Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim and not a Christian, and that he was born in Mombassa, Kenya and
not in the state of Hawaii as falsely purported by the Obama campaign for presidency of the United States.
Federal judge dismisses reservist's suit questioning
Obama's presidency. A federal judge this morning dismissed the suit filed here by a U.S. Army reservist
who says he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because he believes Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.
Judge Clay Land sided with the defense, which claimed in its response to Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook's suit, filed July 8
with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, that Cook's suit is "moot" in that he already has been
told he doesn't have to go to Afghanistan, so the relief he is seeking has been granted.
Two
more officers join suit challenging Obama's citizenship. There are some more twists and turns this morning
in the ongoing saga of an Army reservist who has challenged his ordered deployment to Afghanistan by arguing that President
Obama is not a legal citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to be president and commander-in-chief.
A retired two-star general and an active reserve Air Force lieutenant general have now joined the case, the Ledger-Enquirer
newspaper of Columbus, Ga., which originally broke the story, reports.
Obama Crushes Army Major's Attempt to Get Justice.
Some weeks ago a U. S. Army Reserve Major named Stefan Cook received orders to be deployed overseas to Afghanistan.
The Major, a good man living in Florida and working for a civilian employer named Simtech, Inc., had personal questions
about the eligiblity of Barack Obama to hold the Office of President of the United States as he has not proved his status
as a natural born American, a Constitutional requirement. For that reason, Major Stefan Cook refused to honor the
order, which according to military tradition emanated from the military Commander in Chief, in theory if not in fact.
Watergate vs. Birthgate: The
year 1973, it seems so long ago now, but, as history frequently does, it is intruding into the present. With a
different cast, the scenario of 1973 is back on the stage, at least in the first act. Once again the President
of the United States, based on massive circumstantial evidence, is accused of an enormous lie, once again a coverup
is apparently being directed from the Oval Office, and once again a ferocious legal battle is being fought to
withhold critical evidence that would resolve the question of his guilt. But this is just the first act
of this drama, and we don't know yet how it will eventually unfold, but the parallel between 1973 and what we
are watching today is strong.
Obama citizenship status lawsuit incites
reader furor. When Ledger-Enquirer reporter Lily Gordon wrote a short story Monday afternoon
about a U.S. Army major filing a suit in federal court to stop his deployment to Afghanistan, she was not
prepared for the reaction. The article sparked the highest volume of traffic ever by a single story
in the history of ledger-enquirer.com. The more than 1,000 comments from readers included written
threats against the newspaper. "All I did was a write a story on an open public document and it
set off a powder keg," Gordon said Friday [7/17/2009].
Birth Certificate
Issue Bubbles Up. [At] a town meeting in Delaware, an unidentified woman and Representative Mike
Castle have the following exchange. It's about Obama's birth certificate. [Woman:] I want to
go back to January 20th, and I want to know, why are you people ignoring his birth certificate? (cheers
and applause) He is not an American citizen. He is a citizen of Kenya. I am American.
My father worked — fought in World War II with the Greatest Generation in the Pacific theater for
this country, and I don't want this flag to change. I want my country back!
Hawaii: Obama
birth certificate is real. In an attempt to quash persistent rumors that President Obama was
not born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, Hawaii's health director reiterated Monday afternoon that she
has personally seen Obama's birth certificate in the Health Department's archives.
Hawaii
officials confirm Obama's original birth certificate still exists. Hawai'i's Health Department
confirmed yesterday that it has President Obama's original Aug. 4, 1961, birth certificate in storage,
but the announcement is unlikely to satisfy conspiracy theorists who insist Obama was born in Kenya.
"We don't destroy vital records," Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo said. "That's our whole
job, to maintain and retain vital records." The Health Department's director reiterated yesterday that
she has seen Obama's birth records.
Hawaii health official: Trust me.
In another carefully worded statement, Hawaii's health director claimed today to have seen "original vital records"
that prove "Barrack [sic] Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen."
Chiyome Fukino issued the brief statement in response to the rising chorus of concern across the country
about Obama's failure to release a copy of his long-form birth certificate...
Hawaii's statement on Obama birth record breaks
law? Responding to the growing controversy over the White House's refusal to release President Obama's
original long-form birth certificate, Hawaii's director of health issued a statement yesterday [7/27/2009] about
the document in apparent contravention of Hawaiian law.
Exactly
what kinds of birth records does Hawaii provide? Generally, folks don't know that Hawaii law,
even in 1961, provided for multiple kinds of birth records, most of which are not what people think of when
they think of birth certificates. [This article includes] a description of those, including certificates
for people not born in Hawaii.
Renewed Debate Over
Obama's Birth Certificate. The contention is that Barack Obama could indeed have obtained an
"official birth certificate" in Hawaii under laws applicable at the time of his birth in 1961, but that not
all original birth certificates in the new state were created equal. There were four ways to obtain an
official birth certificate under laws passed in 1955 and active in the 1960s, and three of the four ways this
document could be obtained may not have required enough proof to satisfactorily prove President Obama is a
natural born citizen.
CNN wrong once again — birth
record not destroyed. Directly contradicting CNN chief Jon Klein — who ordered host
Lou Dobbs to quit discussing President Obama's birth certificate — the Hawaii Department of Health
affirmed that no paper birth certificates were destroyed when the department moved to electronic
record-keeping. "I am not aware of any birth certificate records that have been destroyed by the
department," Janice Okubo, public information officer for the Hawaii DOH, told WND. "When the department
went electronic in 2001, vital records, whether in paper form or any other form, [were] maintained. We
don't destroy records."
Why eligibility story is still alive:
How did a supposedly "bogus" story questioning Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency get to the top of
the news budgets of every major media outlet in the country? It didn't happen by accident.
Renewed Debate Over
Obama's Birth Certificate. Various theories of where President Obama's birth may have occurred
have failed to produce any documentation that suggests he was born overseas. An alleged Kenyan birth
figures prominently in one popular theory; a lesser known theory places his birth in Vancouver, British
Columbia. Another theory accepts that he was born in Hawaii as a natural born citizen, but then
argues that the Indonesian citizenship he gained as a child after moving to be with his mother and stepfather
in Indonesia stripped him of his U.S. citizenship because Indonesia does not recognize dual citizenship.
What
Obama's hiding and the media are ignoring. It is no accident that history and literature are
replete with rocky tales of doubtful succession, of the maladjustment brought on by pretenders to thrones.
There is something in human nature that yearns for the rightful leader. And there is something in our
Constitution that requires it. So why won't this president, who, after all, promised the American people
an unprecedented level of transparency, reveal his original long-form birth certificate?
Obama's birth
debate: It's about loyalty. No judge is going to question the Constitutional
qualifications of an elected president. I'm sorry, but that's the practical reality. The judge is
going to follow stare decisis — the sheer weight of commitments that cannot be reversed without creating
chaos. Once the political system of the United States, the voters, the media, and the politicians
themselves are all committed to the proposition that Obama is president, trying to reverse it would mean
riots in every city in the nation.
Where's Obama's Birth Certificate?
Democrat spin doctors are, of course, circling the wagons around Obama who is alleged to have spent nearly a
million dollars on lawyers to keep his birth and other public records secret. The obvious question is
why. The problem for his defenders is that no birth certificate has been made available to the public
and the Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth that was briefly shown on an Obama website has raised more questions
than answers about its authenticity and has been challenged as a forgery.
Suborned in the
U.S.A. [Scroll down slowly] The aforementioned Indonesian interval in Obama's childhood
is instructive. Obama and the media worked in tireless harmony to refute any indication that he had ever
been a Muslim. It's now apparent, however, not only that he was raised as a Muslim while living for four
years in the world's most populous Islamic country, but that he very likely became a naturalized citizen of
Indonesia. ... Under Indonesian law, adoption before the age of six by an Indonesian male qualified a child
for citizenship. ... Obama attended Indonesian elementary schools, which, in Suharto's police state, were
generally reserved for citizens (and students were required to carry identity cards that matched student
registration information). The records of the Catholic school Obama/Soetoro attended for three years
identify him as a citizen of Indonesia. Thus Obama probably obtained Indonesian citizenship through his
adoption by Soetoro in Hawaii. ... In any event, the records of the Catholic school and the public school
Obama attended during his last year in Indonesia identify him as a Muslim.
CNN: Was Obama
Born in U.S.? What's the Difference? Was Barack Obama born in America? It is not a question
of small import. But ultimately, it does not matter nearly so much as the fact that the American population elected
as President an individual who was not, by any means, secretive about his revolutionary intentions and worldview.
Senate Affirms Obama's U.S.
Citizenship. With no debate and by voice vote, the Senate on Tuesday [7/28/2009] adopted a resolution
(S Res 225) declaring that "the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii
on August 4, 1961," indirectly affirming Obama's status as a natural-born citizen — a requirement
for presidential candidates under Article II of the Constitution.
Obama's to Blame for the Birther
Movement. The reason why people still question Obama's citizen status is one-fold: "President
Transparency" has refused to release any original documents on the matter. He can end the controversy
in a day by releasing original documents, but for some inexplicable reason he refuses, and his love-struck
media never asks him why he won't. ... By defending the lawsuits and not showing the documents, Obama feeds
the suspicion of those who already think he is lying.
Why the Founding Fathers Were "Birthers": The
label of "birther" is fast becoming a noble badge of honor for millions of Americans who are not willing to let their
Constitution die without a good ole patriot's fight! The leftist Obama propaganda press would love for you to believe
that "birthers" are just a bunch of "crazy racists" that number in the hundreds, and that they have NO basis to demand
proof of whom and what Barack Hussein Obama really is. But the "birthers" actually number in the millions and
the basis for their demands were set in stone by the men who wrote and ratified the US Constitution.
The Anti-American President. A little over
six months into it and the Barack Hussein Obama presidency has been unmitigated mayhem. Obama-caused disasters befall
the nation on a near daily basis that one can scarcely keep track anymore. ... While apologizing for America at every
opportunity, Obama has resisted all demands that he produce acceptable documentation of his eligibility to be president.
Common sense dictates that Obama's willingness to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees rather than
produce a valid birth certificate should give us pause.
Texas lawmakers sign on to 'birther' bill.
The effort by the lawmakers, including Houston area Reps. Ted Poe, R-Humble, and John Culberson, R-Houston, stems from a
so-called "birther movement" mounted by some conservative Republicans and talk-show hosts who continue to question whether
President Barack Obama is a natural born citizen.
The Great "Uniter" Divides the Nation. The
mystery messiah who was supposed to unite the nation and the world has managed to divide the nation more than at any time
since the Civil War, and he's just getting started! Two years into blocking all access to his birth, adoption,
college and passport records, Barack Obama is finally running out of room to run from his top secret past.
Media Matters Firing up
Anti-Birther Machine. This just in my email box from those leftist guerrilla warriors over at Media
Matters. They are launching an ad campaign to attack Lou Dobbs for mentioning the birth certificate controversy.
Media Blackout on Obama eligibility dates back
to November. The Northeast Intelligence Network and Canada Free Press are in possession of
extremely sensitive investigative documents, including a stunning written admission by a nationally known
talk show host stating that he was threatened with his career — or worse — should he
talk about the issue of Barack Hussein Obama's birth records to a national audience. This document was
obtained on December 10, 2008, and provides explicit detail of a "gag order" imposed on this host before
and immediately following the national election last November.
O.C. lawyer claims
to have Obama's Kenya birth certificate. A Mission Viejo-based lawyer claims to be in possession
of a copy of what she says is President Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate. Orly Taitz said the
document could bring along a speedy resolution to a lawsuit she's handling, challenging Obama's eligibility to
serve as the president. That is, even she admits, if it's genuine.
Anti-Birthers are Beginning to
Worry. In setting out to attack legitimate public concern over such issues as Barack Obama's birth certificate
and Senator John Kerry's earlier claims about his Vietnam War experience, [Bill] Maher only deepens the growing American
suspicion about the left's commitment to the truth. Even worse, Maher's pathetic tirade against conservatives never
rises above an eighth-grade schoolyard tantrum...
Liberals' birther obsession: It's
the left-wing, not the GOP, that's pumping up the story. You could be forgiven for thinking
that a serious campaign is afoot — aided and abetted by the national Republican Party —
to question Barack Obama's citizenship. ... It is not Obama's right-wing opponents, however, who are devoting
the most attention to this obscure, Internet-driven "movement" ... Rather, it's liberals, bent on portraying
their conservative opponents as extremists — and changing the subject to help a President under
increasing scrutiny for the substance of his policies — who are driving this story.
The Alchemy of
Democrat Cover-ups. [Scroll down slowly] I'm no "birther," but I smell a cover-up, I'm
just not sure of what. With the Democrats you can be sure, where there's smoke, there's fire, and
they are working overtime to hide it.
Is this really smoking gun of Obama's Kenyan
birth? California attorney Orly Taitz, who has filed a number of lawsuits demanding proof of Barack
Obama's eligibility to serve as president, has released a copy of what purports to be a Kenyan certification of
birth and has filed a new motion in U.S. District Court for its authentication.
Obama's passport: Magic or logic? The
"official" Obama story makes the claim that, as a young man, he arrived in New York in early June, 1981, without the
price of a hotel room in his pocket. How then, did he suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip
just a month later? So, if Obama's official story is true, when he was on a plane, shuttling between New York,
Jakarta, and Karachi, what passport was he offering when he passed through customs and immigration?
When controversy isn't
debatable. Internet fact-checking sites have become the de facto arbiters for serious constitutional
questions. Enforcement of the most basic law of the land — the Constitution — is,
for all practicable purpose, left in the hands of a laissez-faire fight between anyone who chooses to
enter it. Why must the proof of such an important federal issue be left with the word of some
state official? There are the courts, yes. But the courts have done their best to avoid
getting involved, including the U.S. Supreme Court, which has twice refused to hear a case.
The Audacity of Frauds: [Philip] Berg
alleges that Obama is not born in Hawaii as he claims, but in Kenya. He filed a lawsuit demanding that
Obama either provide his birth certificate or withdraw his candidacy. ... There are seven lawsuits
that are demanding the same thing. Obama fighting these suits, but has refused to show his birth
certificate. He has published a fake certification of birth, not a real birth certificate, purportedly
to "fight the smears." To make matters worse his lawyers asked the governor of Hawaii to seal his birth
certificate so it could not be seen.
Who Is Behind Quashing the Birth Certificate
Issue? [Scroll down] Total time it took me to find my mother's 1913, born-in-a-farmhouse
birth certificate: 10 minutes! Obama was born not in 1913, like my mother, but in
1961 — or perhaps in 1957, according to his MySpace page, which would make him 52, born supposedly
in Hawaii before it became a state in 1959. So it was quite curious that not one cyber-sleuth could find an
authentic, verifiable copy of his original vault copy birth certificate. I'm not talking about the faux
version Obama posted on his website...
Obama's Kenyan birth certificate
alleged in O.C. lawsuit. A document purported to be a copy of President Barack Obama's Kenyan birth
certificate was filed with the federal court in Santa Ana on Friday [9/4/2009] by Orly Taitz, the Mission Viejo attorney
suing to have Obama removed from office. She alleges that he wasn't born in the United States. However, the
authenticity of the document is far from certain.
Army captain challenges legitimacy
of Barack Obama's birth certificate. The complaint of Capt. Connie Rhodes, filed Friday [9/4/2009]
in the Columbus division of U.S. District Court, is similar to the July 8 suit filed by Maj. Stefan
Frederick Cook, who sought conscientious objector status and a temporary injunction. ... Rhodes seeks to stop
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the commander of Fort Benning and others from giving any order to her
or others until Obama's legitimacy is established, the complaint states. She also seeks conscientious
objector status based on her doubts of Obama's constitutional qualifications.
Obama-birthplace
lawsuit in O.C. plagued by infighting. In the federal lawsuit claiming that Barack Obama cannot
legitimately be president, today's hearing in Santa Ana focused not on documents that allegedly prove he was
Kenyan-born but on the conflicts of plaintiff's attorney Orly Taitz.
Obama Set to Force ObamaCare while His Eligibility
Trial Date Set? If Obama's motion to dismiss is not granted, [Orly] Taitz' discovery hearing
will take place that same day and the case challenging Obama's eligibility will proceed. As Obama has
reportedly spent between $1-1.5 Millions to hide his school and true birth records, this would be the
first time We-the-People would have access to them. Note: As of this writing not one of the
major news outlets (aka Obama's State-run media) have reported anything at all on Judge Carter's ruling.
Birth-certificate seller surfaces as witness.
Lucas Smith, the eBay seller who claims he has an authentic copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate issued in Kenya, flew
in from the Dominican Republic to show up Tuesday [9/8/2009] in U.S. District Judge David Carter's courtroom in Santa Ana, Calif., to
testify as a witness in a case challenging the president's eligibility.
What does Pelosi know about Obama's eligibility?
A commentator at Canada Free Press says he has obtained copies of two documents apparently prepared by Democrats to certify
Barack Obama as their nominee for president in 2008 that suggest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew there was an unresolved
issue with his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution.
Federal judge allows Obama
eligibility case to go forward. On Sept. 8, U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter ordered a
scheduling conference for Oct. 5, 2009, allowing the Obama eligibility case filed by Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. on behalf
Captain Pamela Barnett, Alan Keyes and others to proceed. Carter wrote, "The responsibility for the progress of
litigation in the federal courts falls not only upon attorneys in the action, but upon the court as well. Accordingly,
the court issues this order." Taitz filed a declaration of Lucas Daniel Smith with an exhibit on Friday [9/11/2009].
The Theory is Now a Conspiracy —
Part II. The US Constitution has very specific requirements for the office of President and
Vice President and NO federal or state statute supersedes those Article II requirements. The
political Parties and each state Elector is charged with the legal responsibility of vetting and certifying
that the candidates they nominate meet all necessary legal requirements for the office sought. The RNC
has done that, the DNC has NOT, except in the case of Obama's alleged birth place, Hawaii. Where does
this place Nancy Pelosi? In a place of knowing, aiding and abetting?
The Obama "Birth Certificate"
Scandal: [Scroll down] The "birth certificate" released by the Obama presidential campaign
includes no name of a hospital, a location of that hospital, or a physician. "The contrast between what
is on so many birth certificates for ordinary Americans, such as mine, versus what the Obama campaign has released,
is striking," said Kincaid. "This contrast is what accounts for the many questions that have arisen and
which have given rise to the so-called 'Birther' Movement. Many ordinary Americans are wondering why the
major media have not explained why the Obama 'birth certificate' is so lacking in basic and essential information
about where he was born and which doctor by name was there when he was born. If he was born in Hawaii, as
he claims, then this information should be readily available and printed on the original birth certificate."
Gadhafi
calls Obama his "son," hopes that he will remain president for life. Libyan leader Muammar
Qaddafi, declaring that "we'd be content and happy if Obama can stay president forever," launched into a
rambling assault against the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday ... Referencing Obama as "my son,"
Qaddafi said: "We are happy that a young African Kenyan was voted for and made president."
The Editor says...
Even assuming that Qaddafi is nuts, this shows that the perception among many Africans is that Obama
was born in Kenya.
Dismissal of Obama birthplace lawsuit
argued. The issue of whether Barack Obama's birthplace and legitimacy as president deserves to
go to trial was argued this morning in Santa Ana, with no immediate ruling by U.S. District Court Judge
David O. Carter. The three-hour hearing included allegations — but not
evidence — that Obama was actually born in Kenya, that he has used 39 Social Security numbers,
and that Congress is too corrupt to properly address the legitimacy of the presidency.
Attorney Orly Taitz submits exhibit
supporting motion to recuse Judge Land. Attorney Orly Taitz, under threat of $10,000 in sanctions from
U.S. District Judge Clay Land, submitted an affidavit Sunday [10/4/2009] in support of the argument that the judge may
have been influenced by President Barack Obama's administration. The affidavit, filed Sunday [10/4/2009] in
support of Taitz' Friday motion to recuse Land, is signed Robert D. Douglas, of Alma, Ga. It states that
Douglas was in a coffee shop waiting for the 12th Street federal courthouse to open for a hearing on Maj. Stefan
Frederick Cook in July when U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder entered.
How Crazy are those "Birthers?".
Not only has Obama never passed any standard security clearance, he has never been asked to apply for such
clearance and couldn't pass that clearance if his life depended on it. Yet, he is the Commander-in-Chief
of the United States of America, the highest office in our land and the most powerful office in the world,
without so much as a simple birth certificate to prove his eligibility for the lofty office he holds.
What if he had to pass security clearance before having access to Top Secret information, as any other
American citizen would have to pass?
O.C.
lawsuit challenging Obama birthplace dismissed. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter this
morning [10/29/2009] dismissed Laguna Niguel attorney Orly Taitz's lawsuit which alleged that Barack Obama is not a
natural-born citizen and so is not the country's legitimate president. Carter ruled that the federal
courts do not have the constitutional powers to remove a sitting president — that only Congress
has that authority.
Court: No need for state to check
prez' eligibility. A California court has ruled that apparently anyone can run for president
on the California ballot — whether or not they are eligible under the Constitution of the United
States. "Secretary of State Debra Bowen contends that there is no basis for mandamus relief because
the Secretary of State has no 'ministerial duty' to demand detailed proof of citizenship from presidential
candidates," said Judge Michael P. Kenny. "The court finds this argument persuasive."
Michelle contradicts Obama nativity story.
In little noticed remarks, Michelle Obama stated at a public event that her husband's mother, Ann Dunham, was
"very young and very single" when she gave birth to the future U.S. president. ... In actuality, it isn't
clear Obama's parents were married, since official records have never been produced showing a legal ceremony
took place. No wedding certificate or photograph of a ceremony for Dunham and Obama Sr. has ever been
found or published.
Obama Treason Charges Advance In Tennessee
Grand Jury. [Scroll down] Make no mistake... The courts have clearly ruled that NO AMERICAN
CITIZEN has the "proper standing" to ask even the most fundamental questions about Barack Hussein Obama (aka
Barry Soetoro). The American press has not only ignored these facts, but mocked anyone willing to ask
the right questions — of the right people — in the right way.
Mr. Obama:
Tear Down Your Wall of Secrecy. The real issue, however, is not about birthers or theories or
racism or whatever else you want to add. The real issue is about the secrecy of Barack Obama, and it
involves more than the release of his complete birth records. Hospital records; high school, college and
law school records; transcripts; writings; and passport info have been requested, and all are being withheld
by Obama. Mr. Obama is presented as the smartest man in the country, yet we have not seen his
college course list or grades.
Consider,
14 months after the election, what we still don't know. [For example,]
• how the president transferred into Columbia University, what courses did he take,
what grades did he get, who paid his tuition and fees and how did he support himself?
• how did the president get into Harvard Law School, what courses did he take, what grades
did he get, who paid his tuition and fees and how did he support himself?
We still know no more about the younger Barack Obama's political affiliations and friendships then we did
prior to the 2008 election. Did Bill Ayres help him write his first book? Why in the world can't
we see his birth certificate, since he obviously was born in Hawaii? What about that local Socialist
Party in Chicago, did he really belong to it?
Obama feebly attempts to ridicule those who question his qualifications. Obama takes shot at
birthers in speech to prayer breakfast. During an address Thursday at the National Prayer
Breakfast, President Barack Obama said critics should not question his citizenship. "Surely you can
question my policies without questioning my faith — or, for that matter, my citizenship," Obama
said, drawing chuckles and a round of applause from some of the nearly 4,000 attendees at the Washington
Hilton.
Another Look at Obama's
Origins. [Scroll down slowly] Jerome Corsi of WorldNetDaily has found additional evidence
that argues against Obama's birth to Ann Dunham in August 1961. As the records clearly show, "Stanley
Ann Dunham" enrolled for classes at the University of Washington at Seattle on August 19, 1961, fifteen
days after Obama's presumed birth. It defies all logic — and logistics as well —
that Dunham would have flown her newborn across the Pacific, found an apartment and a job and enrolled at
class all within two weeks of the birth. Most accounts put young Barack with Dunham in Seattle when
she was attending college, but the sourcing on these accounts is suspect.
A Further Inquiry
into Obama's Origins. Here is what we know about Obama's first year. On August 19,
1961, fifteen days after Obama's presumed birth, his mother, "Stanley Ann Dunham," enrolled for classes at
the University of Washington at Seattle. The apolitical Washington State historical blog HistoryLink
confirms Ann's arrival in August 1961, identifies her Capitol Hill apartment in Seattle, names the courses
she took, and documents an extended stay by Ann and little Obama into the summer of 1962. Incredibly,
not one of the mainstream media accounts I consulted — including four book-length biographies,
several long-form magazine and newspaper bios, Obama's official campaign biography, and Obama's 1995 memoir
Dreams From My Father — places Ann and Obama anywhere other than in Hawaii during that first year.
Hawaii gets persistent requests for Obama birth certificate.
Requests for the president's birth certificate keeping coming at a rate of 40 to 50 a month, according to
Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo, who has been handling the requests since Obama became a serious
presidential candidate in 2008.
Clever Legislators in Arizona Hit on New Way to
Find Obama's Birth Truth. In the area of "Why didn't I think of that?", the AP authored an article
that appeared in the February 23, 2010 edition of the New York Times titled, "Ariz. Lawmakers: Verify
Citizenship of Candidates" in which it reported that 40 of the state's 90 legislators sponsored a measure that
would require presidential candidates who want to appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents proving
they meet the requirements to be president.
Ariz House: Check Obama's Citizenship.
The Arizona House on Monday [4/19/2010] voted for a provision that would require President Barack Obama to show
his birth certificate if he hopes to be on the state's ballot when he runs for reelection.
White
House slams latest 'birther' move. White House aides are scoffing at a move in the Arizona
legislature to force President Obama to show his birth certificate to get on the state's ballot in 2012 for
his likely re-election battle. "This is a question that has been answered exhaustively," White House
spokesman Bill Burton told CNN. "I can't imagine Arizona voters think their tax dollars are well served
by a legislature that is less focused on their lives than in fringe right-wing radio conspiracy theories."
Rep. Bill Posey defends 'birther' bill.
Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.), sponsor of the House bill, which has attracted 11 co-sponsors, said an Arizona House-passed
measure would help clarify murky guidelines about presidential eligibility. The measure, adopted 31-22 earlier
this week as part of a separate bill, would require President Barack Obama to show his birth certificate if he hopes
to be on the state's ballot when he runs for re-election. It would require U.S. presidential candidates
who want to appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents proving they meet the constitutional requirements
to be president.
Arizona
Sets Aside Bill Requiring Presidential Candidates to Show Birth Certificates. A bill to require
presidential candidates to show their birth certificates to get on the state's ballot is being set aside at
the Arizona Legislature. With lawmakers working toward adjournment of their annual session, the sponsor
of the bill used to resurrect the proposal says it won't get a Senate vote because some fellow Republicans
don't support it.
What I Learned from Obama's
Pop: In the final analysis, [Frank Marshall] Davis, a pornographer with a stated fondness for young
white women, makes as likely a suspect to be Obama's blood father as Barack Sr. Team Obama's evasiveness
about the birth certificate and other questions of origins may have something to do with paternity issues.
Questions about Obama's citizenship remain in play. His seeming adoption by the Muslim Lolo Soetoro and his
removal to Indonesia cloud the issue of nationality. Obama was, in fact, registered at school there as "Barry
Soetoro," a "Muslim" and an Indonesian citizen. ... Those dependent on the major media for their news know
close to none of the above.
Did Michelle say Barack was born in Kenya?
The video, posted April 3 on YouTube and forwarded by a score of Internet e-mails, shows Michelle Obama saying,
"When we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country in Kenya, we took a public HIV test."
She has made more than one such statement. Is Michelle Obama a
Birther? Whatever the facts of his birthplace, it is clear that Michelle Obama thinks of her
husband as a Kenyan.
Barry and the Pirates.
The government of Kenya is no longer accepting pirates captured by the international task force operating in
the Red Sea and approaches. Kenya claims that its justice system is overloaded with Somali pirates and
that it just can't handle any more of them. ... Which raises the question: what world leader happens to
have close relatives serving in the government of Kenya? That's right — none other than the
Obamessiah himself. His father, Barack Sr., was an economist in the first post-colonial government.
One of his half-brothers, Malik Obongo Obama, is a rising political star, and I'm sure you wouldn't have to
throw many stones to hit a cousin or two employed by various ministries. Obama has more personal pull in
Kenya than in any other country in the world.
President Obama
Needs to Prove His Constitutional Eligibility to Be Commander-in-Chief. Many do not understand
that the online document was from 2007, generated by computer, laser-printed, and merely a certification that
there is something on file which may or may not be sufficient proof of a birth in Hawaii. An original
birth certificate could be the underlying document that presumably includes a hospital and attending physician's
or midwife's name. Such a document should lay to rest the "natural born" dispute. This controversy
was further escalated by media reports that gave two different hospital names for Obama's birthplace —
even today, the public does not know what doctor delivered the then-future president or which hospital was the
site of his birth. No eyewitnesses have stepped forward to affirm that he was born in Hawaii in 1961.
The Hard Facts: Since
only citizens who are "natural born" Americans are eligible for election to the presidency, if Barack Obama
was born outside of the United States, he cannot constitutionally hold the office to which he was elected in
2008. This status is only established at birth, and can never be won or gained. The Obama campaign
posted an online, computer-generated document, a Certification of Live Birth (COLB), which it offered as a birth
record. The truth is, this document could have been created recently by submission of sworn statements,
even if no document from 1961 existed. This COLB is not a standard birth certificate. It lacks common,
standard identifiers such as a hospital name and an attending physician signature.
Should Obama Step Down? On
page 31 in the transcribed text of the March 25, 2010 session of the Kenyan Parliament, there is a
brief statement by the Kenyan Minister for Lands (Mr. Orengo). What Mr. Orengo says is nothing short
of a bombshell, and yet not a mention has been made anywhere in the mainstream media. I think, for
obvious reasons.
Obama petrified of proof. It
doesn't take the Obama administration long to pull a cover up. Just a few days after my column asking
whether or not Should Obama Step Down, the transcript of the Kenyan Parliament for March 25th, 2010 was
scrubbed from the Kenyan Parliament site. Was there collusion between Washington and Kenya?
Minutes of
the Kenyan Parliment March 25th, 2010. [Scroll down] "If America was living in a situation
where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born
here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America? It is because they
did away with exclusion."
Is it time for a Honduran type response to
Obama? It is most evident that there is a usurper in the White House and it certainly has
nothing to do with his color and everything to do with what appears to be endless lies and cover up as to his
birth place and past. Obama knows that he is covering up major 'President stopping' stuff in his life.
Why else would he spend nearly 2 million dollars in legal fees to cover all his college records,
passport and birth certificate records?
How the Media Lied
about Obama's Birth Records: Jonathan Alter, senior editor at Newsweek magazine, told MSNBC's
Keith Olbermann on February 20, 2009 that "The Obama campaign actually posted his birth certificate from
a Hawaii hospital online." But Alter lied, since "the Obama campaign" never "actually posted his birth
certificate from a Hawaii hospital online." Remarkably, no hospital in Hawaii yet lays definitive claim
to be the birthplace of the sitting President. On July 17, 2009 CNN's Kitty Pilgrim dissembled when
she stated that the Obama campaign had produced "the original birth certificate" on the internet and that
FactCheck.org had examined the original birth certificate. The computer-generated Certification of Live
Birth (COLB) posted by the campaign and FactCheck.org is not, and by definition, cannot be the original birth
certificate or a copy of the original birth certificate. It contains no statement by a doctor or midwife
and no reference to any hospital.
DC Knows that Obama is Ineligible for Office.
[Scroll down slowly] Nobody spends $2 million in legal fees to hide an authentic birth certificate.
The Speaker of the House does not refuse to certify her candidate as "constitutionally qualified" in forty-nine of
fifty states by accident. A press that knew he was the "first Kenyan born senator" didn't forget that he was
Kenyan born when he decided to run for president. ... One day, the world will know who and what this man is and
there will be a day of reckoning like no other in American history. The longer it takes for that day to arrive,
the more dangerous the situation will become. A man not even qualified to hold the office is using that
office to destroy the greatest nation on earth. How much patience can the people be expected to display?
Hawaii
Legislature OKs measure to ignore requests for disclosure of Barack Obama's birth certificate.
A brand-new chapter dawns in the birther controversy over President Obama's hidden birth certificate.
The Hawaii legislature has now officially passed a measure that would allow state officials to legally ignore
each month's dozens of repeated requests by persons or organizations seeking to see the infant Obama's actual
birth certificate. For personal privacy reasons the certificate resides under government lock and key in
Hawaii and, as is his right, Obama has never authorized its release.
Natural-Born Citizen per Justice Ginsberg?
[Scroll down slowly] Obama's Department of Justice will never allow a single case over Obama's eligibility
to enter a courtroom, rushing DOJ lawyers around the country to file dismissals for Obama, based on "a lack of
standing" on the part of U.S. citizens. They already know that Obama is a fraud. They dare not allow
any court in the land to hear the evidence, as they already know the most likely outcome of a trial that forces
Obama to become a "transparent" president.
Birthers
For Obama. Strictly as a public service, the mainstream media have long pointed out that those
pesky folks who question where Barack Obama was born are your typical knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing
Neanderthals. You know, the type of know-nothings who attend Tea Parties and other such sinister
gatherings. So those deep thinkers must be stunned by the findings of the latest ABC News/Washington Post
poll, which finds "about a third of so-called 'birthers' nonetheless approve of Obama's work in office and
express a favorable opinion of him personally."
Tyranny, and Putting Some Questions to Rest.
The COLB waved around by so many, as proof of Obama's eligibility to be POTUS, is invalid. Period.
And, need I add, a COLB is certainly not a birth certificate. Again, claiming that an invalid COLB is as
good as a genuine birth certificate is one thing, but to claim that they are one and the same, is quite
another. The Obama COLB that has been on display at FightTheSmears.com and other websites, is neither
valid, nor a birth certificate — it never has been, and never will be.
The
Obama Eligibility Question. Never in American history has a national leader served under
a darker cloud of suspicion than Barack Hussein Obama. Was he born in Hawaii or in Kenya? Did
he become an Indonesian citizen in 1967? Where did he spend the summer of 1981? Did he actually
attend classes at Columbia? Did he write Dreams from My Father? These are all interesting
questions, but not the most critical ones. By far the most critical question relates to his eligibility.
Is he eligible to serve as president or is he a usurper? Let's analyze what we actually know to be true.
What if ... ? As I
have said many times, I don't know if Barack Obama is constitutionally eligible to be president. And
the truth is, not many people do. A recent CBS-New York Times Poll showing only 58 percent of
Americans believe Obama was born in the USA makes the point. When 58 percent of Americans
think the president was born in America, you know Obama has a credibility problem -- especially
given the fact than 99.9 percent of the media has not only promoted the idea there is no question
but ridiculed those who point out there is no evidence to support the idea.
Obama's Citizenship
Denied. [Obama,] his campaign, and his illegal administration has and is lying when they
claim Obama's birth certificate has been posted on the internet. It has not. The overwhelming
evidence of Obama's Kenyan (British colony) birth and Indonesian citizenship stands.
An investigative report detailing the Obama eligibility
controversy. I cannot think of any other subject in recent American history that has been so mired in
controversy, so factually misrepresented, mischaracterized and so misunderstood than the matter of the eligibility
of Barack Hussein OBAMA II to hold the office of President of the United States. Despite its importance,
the topic has been summarily dismissed as fodder for conspiracy theorists by many, while others insist that the
question of OBAMA's citizenship has been "asked and answered." But has it really been answered, and if
not, why not?
In-Depth: a question of legitimacy.
The path to question the legitimacy of Obama's eligibility status is a minefield of marginalization, but in the
final analysis, it is indeed the path most consistent with our character and courage as patriots who care about the
current state and future of the United States. Embarking on the path to question Obama's eligibility is to be
labeled as conspiracy nuts, racists, bigots, or a combination of each. After all, we have been told by our
politicians and media that Obama has provided sufficient documentation to hold the highest office of the greatest
country in the world. We have been told and even scolded that such documentation has reportedly been verified
time and again in every venue where it has questioned, and even in some venues where it has not. The
reality, however, is far from removed from what is being provided as the truth.
Kenyan official: Obama born
here. A Kenyan lawmaker told the nation's parliament last month that Barack Obama was born
in Africa and is therefore "not even a native American."
Obama is calculating, organized and evil.
[Scroll down] It doesn't matter anymore about Obama's motives, excuses and reasons for his behavior. It
doesn't matter where he was born. It's most obvious it wasn't in the U.S. Anyone with even a small brain in this
country knows you don't spend nearly 2 million dollars in legal fees to hide your birth certificate, passport records
and College records unless you have something to hide. Regardless of the anti American, anti Constitutional and
socialist elephants running through the room, this president is not representing the rule of law, constitution and
American people at all.
Obama Confirmed Ineligible for Office?
[Scroll down] If Barack Hussein Obama's father had been a legal citizen of the U.S. at the time of Barack II
birth, Barack II would enjoy not only his father's name, but his citizenship in the United States as well, and no
man-made law could block his birthright to status as a "natural born citizen" of the USA. However, Obama's father
was at no time a citizen of the USA. He was at all known times in his life, a citizen of Kenya, which at the time
was still under British rule. Barack Hussein Obama II father was a legal citizen of Kenya. As the
"natural born" son of Barack Hussein Obama I, Barack Obama II is the "natural born citizen" of Kenya, which is why
his family, friends and the press referred to him as "Kenyan Born" all the way up until he decided to run for the
office of president. From that moment forward, Obama, his friends and the press has denied that he was a "natural
born citizen" of Kenya, and claimed that he was a "natural born citizen" of Hawaii.
No Proof. It is the conclusion of this
investigator that Barack Hussein OBAMA II has not only failed to provide proof of eligibility, but has and continues
to fight efforts to release the proof necessary to confirm that he is legally eligible to occupy his current position
as the president of the United States. To be clear, it is important to understand that there is a vast and
significant difference between the meaning of the words evidence and proof, although most people use
the terms synonymously. ... Clearly, the United States Constitution requires the higher standard of proof and not
merely evidence of eligibility to hold the office of President. Contrary to the assertions of representatives
speaking on behalf of OBAMA, media accounts and numerous reports on various Internet sites, OBAMA has provided absolutely
no proof that he meets the eligibility requirements as of the date of this investigation.
A Right to Lawful Command.
[Scroll down slowly] Most of what Obama has stated we already know to be a lie. He has refused
to release any records to document any part of his life, his birth, his education, his travel, his adoption
in Indonesia or his association with a laundry list of anti-American evil-doers. Beyond the fact that
most of the public propaganda on the man is not true, we know literally nothing about this person. Members
of the US Military are not obligated to take orders from such an individual.
Obama's Natural-Born Useful Idiots.
For people who don't like and don't care what the US Constitution says, it doesn't matter whether or not
Barack Obama meets eligibility requirements for the office he currently holds. Obots, who regard the
Constitution as an outdated useless piece of paper that should be burned, and our republic as nothing more
than a democracy of mob rule by iron fist, see Obama's eligibility as a laughing matter.
The Bottom Line on Natural Born Citizen.
History answers the question of what "natural born citizen" means, and leaves NO wiggle room for debate or
wishful agenda-driven interpretations. The term was first used by the British Royal family. The
question at the time was how to keep the Royal bloodline intact when members of the Royal family traveled
abroad extensively, often giving birth to offspring while abroad, therefore bringing the issue of "native
born" into question.
Our Undocumented White House Resident.
[Scroll down] With each passing day, our nation is being driven deeper and deeper into irreversible
disaster. Obama & Co. have no intention of backing up or backing off their anti-American
agenda of global Marxism via American assets. The courts have never ruled on Obama's constitutional
standing. In fact, they have refused to hear evidence from the people on the matter, or force Obama to
unseal all of his records to answer legitimate questions coming from a growing number of US citizens.
Before only violent options for upholding the rule of law remain, the people MUST find a peaceful means by
which to force Obama to become "transparent."
Hawaii elections clerk: Obama not
born here. [Tim Adams] says during the 2008 campaign when the issue of Obama's constitutional
eligibility first arose, the elections office was inundated with requests to verify the birthplace of the U.S.
senator from Illinois. ... At the time, there were conflicting reports that Obama had been born at the Queen's
Medical Center in Honolulu, as well as the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children across town.
So Adams says his office checked with both facilities. "They told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate
for him,'" he said.
13
percent say Obama not born in the U.S.. Sixteen months into his presidency, 13 percent of
Americans say that President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. A total of 13 percent
of Americans said that Obama was born in Kenya, Indonesia or "someplace else outside the U.S.," according to
a new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll released Monday [6/28/2010]. Another 11 percent of
Americans said they were unsure of the country in which Obama was born.
National
Magazine Globe says Obama not Born in U.S.. According to the story, "A Former Hawaii records
official is sending shock waves through Washington, D.C., by revealing there is absolutely no birth certificate
for Barack Obama." The Globe continues: "I had direct access to the Social Security database, the
national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically
just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity," says Timothy Adams, who served as senior
government records clerk in Honolulu in 2008. "There is no birth certificate. I was informed by
my boss that we did not have Obama's birth record."
Senate-seeker wants Obama birth-certificate
treatment. A Mexican-born candidate for U.S. Senate said he is considering a lawsuit against
the Missouri secretary of state for discrimination because her office forced him to produce a birth certificate
but "didn't make Obama show proof of citizenship" to appear on the ballot.
Senator: Resolve eligibility in court.
Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter says the dispute over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president should be
resolved in court. "I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court,"
Vitter said, according to an Associated Press report citing a video of the event. Vitter becomes just
the latest high-profile leader, and the first U.S. senator, to take such a strong stand on the issue.
From the White House to the Big House.
Obama's refusal to release his long form birth certificate which would show conclusively that he is a dual
citizen and therefore not constitutionally eligible to serve as President. Obama's college records,
which have also not been released, would also contain information regarding his dual citizenship status.
Home Is Where the Heart
Is. Obama's wife has in speeches referred to her husband's "home country" as Kenya. Many
Americans have parents who were born in other countries, as do I — however, I can't recall ever
thinking of the foreign country of my father's birth as "home," nor would my family describe my country as
anything but America. Maybe Michelle, who admitted she wasn't proud of her own home country until her
husband began his presidential campaign, simply prefers to think of Kenya as Obama's.
CNN
Poll: Quarter doubt Obama was born in U.S.. The president celebrates his 49th birthday
Wednesday. On the same day, a new national poll indicates some Americans continue to doubt the president
was born in the United States. According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey ... Twenty-seven
percent of Republicans say he was probably not born here, and another 14 percent of Republicans say he
was definitely not born in the U.S."
Poll:
27 percent of Americans doubt Obama's birthplace. Today is President Obama's 49th birthday,
but more than a quarter of Americans aren't convinced he was born in the United States. A CNN poll
released today finds that 27 percent of Americans doubt Obama's citizenship. Eleven percent say
Obama was definitely not born in the United States, while 16 percent say he was "probably" not born here.
Another Obama puzzle: 3rd grade in 2
countries? The release of two sets of State Department documents through a Freedom of Information
Act request has given new life to the puzzle of how Barack Obama could have attended third grade in Hawaii, as
claimed by a classmate, while he has stated he was living in Indonesia at the time. The indication Obama
attended third grade in 1969 at Noelani Elementary School in Honolulu comes from an old photograph made public
by classmate Scott Inoue. The informal photo shows Obama and Inoue against a background of what appears to
be Christmas drawings by schoolchildren posted on a classroom bulletin board.
Alito refers
'birther' attorney Taitz's request to Supreme Court. A request to U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Samuel Alito by "birther" attorney Orly Taitz asking that $20,000 in sanctions against her be reversed was
referred on Tuesday to the entire court. U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land imposed the sanctions
last year after he warned her and then gave her a time limit to explain why he shouldn't fine her in the
September 2009 case of Capt. Connie Rhodes, who questioned the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidency.
The First Un-American President.
Obama is not an American. He is the son of a former British subject, a Kenyan of the same name. He
is the step-son of an Indonesian who married his mother and adopted him. When his mother divorced for a
second time, he was shipped off to live in Hawaii with his grandparents. The only overseas trip he took
that we know of was to Pakistan with a college friend from there. Did he travel on an American passport?
The State Department records have conveniently disappeared.
Orly
Taitz ordered by Supreme Court to pay $20,000 fine. Orly Taitz, a dentist and lawyer in California,
received the fine for a lawsuit she filed in Georgia on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who refused to be
deployed to Iraq, arguing that the orders weren't legitimate since Obama is not eligible to be President.
Supreme
Court upholds 'birther' sanction. The Supreme Court has upheld a $20,000 fine against a leader
of the movement challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship.
Does Obama have a valid Social Security number?
This didn't come from some crackpot's blog -- it is from a legal document filed by an attorney.
Motion for reconsideration or certification of interlocutory
appeal. [Scroll down] All three investigators as well as Selective service records show
that Mr. Obama does not even have a valid US Social Security number. SSN
••• •• •••• used by Mr. Obama most of his
life was issued in the state of Connecticut to another individual. Similarly, most reliable and widely
used databases LexisNexis and ChoicePoint show him using multiple Social Security numbers of deceased
individuals, as well as numbers that were never assigned.
Related information: Letter from Orly Taitz to Attorney General
Eric Holder. According to a number of licensed investigators National Databases show Mr. Obama
using as many as 39 different Social Security numbers, which included the numbers of deceased individuals
and numbers never assigned. Number ••• •• ••••
that Mr. Obama used for most of his life and is currently using while residing in the White House, is a number
assigned to an individual born in 1890, who resided in the state of Connecticut and this Social Security number
was issued in the state of Connecticut where Mr. Obama never resided.
Editor's note:
The number has been redacted just in case it is a violation of federal law to divulge it -- which I suspect
is the case. You can click on the links above and get the number, but remember, you didn't get it
from me.
Google clamps down on Obama's Social
Security story. Internet behemoth Google apparently is clamping down further on consumers'
access to a report about President Obama's Social Security number, which points out the number was designated
for a Connecticut applicant, by warning that some sites carrying information on the situation "may harm your
computer."
Investigators: Obama uses
Connecticut Social Security Number. Two private investigators working independently are
asking why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut
while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state. In addition, the records
indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama's earliest employment reportedly was
in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream shop in Oahu, Hawaii.
Obama's Waterloo: If recently
published reports are true, and I have no reason to doubt they are, then the judgment, reputation and
credibility of many a journalist and politician have been irrevocably destroyed along with the myths planted
by Barack Obama, who apparently has a great deal of explaining to do about who he is, where he came from and
why he's using another person's Social Security number. ... If this report is true, Barack Obama committed the
crime of identity theft and quite likely used the poison fruits of that crime to usurp the office of President
of the United States, just like I and others who had the courage to go on record had said he did. But
I'll go a step further: He couldn't pull something like this off alone.
Appeal of denial of disclosure of information under
FOIA 5 USC §552(b)(6). [Scroll down] Social security number that Mr. Obama is
using currently ••• •• ••••, is a number,
fraudulently obtained by Mr. Obama, as according to affidavits of Mr. Sankey, Ms. Daniels and former immigration
officer, private investigator Mr. Sampson, this number was assigned between 1976-1977 in CT, while Mr. Obama
resided at a time in HI. As a matter of fact, Mr. Obama never resided in CT.
••• •• •••• was originally assigned to
an individual born in 1890, which makes him 120 years old. It appears this individual applied for
the benefits when he was older and retired, and needed some Medicaire or Medicaid benefits. Mr. Obama
is not 120 years old.
Watch
our legal system either vindicate or railroad a citizen. [Scroll down] I submitted an
affidavit from a licensed investigator Neil Sankey, showing that according to most reputable National databases
Lexis Nexis and Choice Point Barack Obama used as many as 39 different social security numbers, none of
which were issued in the state of Hawaii, where he resided. (Submitted as an exhibit with the complaint)
The same affidavit contained information, showing that the social security
number ••• •• ••••, that
he used most often, was issued in the state of Connecticut to an individual born in 1890. Since Obama
never resided in the state of Connecticut and was not born in 1890, it was a sign of clear violation of
Title 42 US Code, section 408(a)(7)(B), misuse of a social security number, which is a federal
felony punishable under Title 18 USC by fine or imprisonment of up to five years or both and an
evidence of foreign birth and lack of proper citizenship status.
Who Uses Phony Social Security Numbers?
Most likely the first thought that would come to your mind when asked that question would be: "An illegal
alien." Second would be someone intent on committing identity fraud...
The Editor says...
If Obama were a Republican, would this not be a front-page scandal?
The case of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin
Soldier from
Greeley won't go to Afghanistan until Obama produces birth certificate. A Greeley native and U.S.
Army official has vowed to disobey orders to deploy to Afghanistan until President Barack Obama produces proof
he was born in the United States. Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, who was born in Greeley and graduated from University
High School, is asking Obama on an Internet video posted this week to furnish a birth certificate. "For the
first time in all my years of service to our great nation, and at great peril to my career and future, I am
choosing to disobey what I believe are illegal orders, including an order to deploy to Afghanistan for my
second tour of duty there," Lakin says in the video.
Eligibility challenger: Don't touch
my brain! A U.S. Army flight surgeon who posted a video indicating his complete rejection of all
orders from the military unless Barack Obama documents his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is now refusing
an "unofficial" suggestion from the Army for a medical evaluation. WND reported this week the Army was
hinting that Lt. Col Terry Lakin should undergo a brain scan and medical review.
Safeguard Our Constitution. LTC Terry
Lakin has tried in vain to get the same verification from our President that he has been asked to provide
countless times in his career, for many jobs, and to obtain a security clearance for the trusted positions he
has held within the U.S. Armed Forces. ... LTC Lakin has questioned the President's "natural born" status, as
mandated by the U.S. Constitution's Article II, Section 1.
'Colonel
Birther' Lakin read miranda rights, Pentagon pass revoked. Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Lakin
yesterday returned to the Pentagon clinic where he has been stationed but this time he was met by his
commander, Colonel Gordon Roberts, who read Lakin his rights and revoked his pass access to the building.
Lakin's computer is also reportedly being seized and the military case for his court martial being prepared.
Army birther Lt. Col. Terry Lakin under
investigation. Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, an Army doctor who's refusing to serve his second tour
of duty in Afghanistan until he sees President Barack Obama's birth certificate, is under investigation by
the Army. Lakin was supposed to report for duty on Monday at Ft. Campbell, Ky., to a unit deploying to
Afghanistan. Instead, he reported to his brigade commander at the Pentagon.
Radio
host Boyles: Birther Lakin no punk. [Lietenant Colonel Terrence] Lakin is the latest and
highest ranking of a handful of soldiers who have subscribed to the mostly right-wing theory that Obama has
hidden or falsified the usual documents that would prove his citizenship and that he has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars "lawyering up" to protect their secrecy. Boyles, at the very least a semi-believer
in the conspiracy himself, clearly admires the man the media is now calling "Colonel Birther."
Birther
Officer 'Reassigned'. The U.S. Army says a surgeon who has publicly refused to follow any
further orders until he sees documentation that Barack Obama is eligible to be president is being "reassigned"
at Walter Reed Army Hospital after he refused to deploy to Afghanistan as scheduled.
Press tries, convicts doctor-soldier.
Do you remember the old concept of presumption of innocence? ... Well, like so many other media standards, you
can throw them out the window when it comes to those brave men and women who stand up for principle and the Constitution
in challenging Barack Obama to prove his eligibility for office. As WND first reported, Lt. Col. Terrence
Lakin, an Army doctor, is refusing to deploy as ordered to Afghanistan until Obama offers proof he is a natural
born citizen, as required by the Constitution. I guess it's not enough that he's facing court-martial,
disciplinary action, possible jail time, dishonorable discharge. The media are hanging him out to
dry — trying and convicting him before he's even officially charged with misconduct.
Duty, Honor and the Constitution: The Story of
LTC Terry Lakin. Quite some months ago I was discussing the election of Barack Hussein Obama with
Northeast Intelligence Network Director Doug Hagmann. I explained, from a purely military perspective,
why I believed Obama's Constitutional eligibility issue would not get any traction whatsoever until the day
when active duty officers in our armed forces began to refuse all orders coming from this newly elected
Commander-in-Chief (CINC). I truly believed that day would inevitably come. Well, as many are
now becoming aware, that day has come, and it has arrived in the person of U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel
(selected for promotion to Colonel) Terrence Lakin.
Lakin court date set in court
martial hearing. The hearing will be held at 9 a.m., June 11 at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center in Washington, according to a press release from Safeguard Our Constitution, a nonprofit
group that supports Lakin.
Army gags officer challenging Obama
eligibility. A decorated military officer who is challenging — in military
court — President Obama's eligibility to be president was taken into custody and escorted under
guard back to Walter Reed Army Base today after a hearing, apparently so he could not talk to the press or
his attorney about his case, according to his defense attorney.
Video: Obama Citizenship — Berg v.
Obama part 2 of 4. This video summarizes the citizenship question, and if you find this
interesting, the other three parts are also on line.
"It has been my experience that
whenever a leader — whether elected, anointed or media-appointed —
does not want you to see something, that's probably the time when you should go out of
your way to see it."
