Why Barack Obama listed his birthplace as Kenya
Doug Ross@Journal ^ | 5/19/12 | Doug Ross

Posted on 05/20/2012 5:44:11 AM PDT by pookie18

The biography provided by Barack Obama to his literary agent specified his birthplace as "Kenya". And, over the course of 17 years, despite multiple revisions by Obama, the Kenyan birthplace remained a fundamental part of the bio on the agent's website.

Was Barack actually born in Kenya? I seriously doubt it, even though Michelle Obama has publicly stated that Kenya is her husband's "home country". Contemporary newspaper listings in Honolulu, for example, list the time and place of his birth. While this isn't ironclad proof, to be sure, it's good enough for me.

No, my suspicion is that Mr. Obama manipulated his birthplace intentionally (and cynically) to take advantage of certain benefits unavailable to those born in the United States.

Bookworm Room describes why that might have been. We need to set the Wayback Machine to 1978, when young Obama was seeking admission to college.

1978 isn’t just any year. It’s a very special year. It was the year that the Supreme Court decided Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978) 438 U.S. 265... [and] held that [the] race-based admission process was unconstitutional.

With that decision, Obama, who was a self-confessed slacker in high school, suddenly lost his e-ticket to a good college. He couldn’t know then (nor would it have mattered) that the various concurrences in this deeply divided opinion would eventually open the door to colleges and universities making race a “factor” in admission, so much so that this “factor-ness” eventually created a whole new quota system.

My best guess is that, denied an opportunity to use quota systems to parlay a lousy academic record into a quality college admission, Obama searched around for other means of bypassing his academic failings. It was this search that led him to announce that he was Kenyan. I’m sure that a certain amount of digging will reveal that, just when the Bakke decision came down, American universities were engaged in some sort of pro-active policy involving increasing the number of African nationals on America’s college campuses. Obama was happy to oblige the universities in this effort by co-opting his father’s nationality, and burying the fact that he was a garden-variety American black kid.

There’s the nexus — In 1978, Obama, who already then was willing to lie to achieve his goals, created a false identity to deal with the changes the Bakke decision wrought on college admissions.

This appears to be an extremely plausible explanation for Obama's refusal to release any of his college transcripts.

My guess is that this scenario -- or one similar to it -- helps explain why Obama enjoys the company of race-hustlers like Al Sharpton.

And where was the media for lo these many years? Busy investigating Sarah Palin's elementary school chums?

That's because he wasn't there, he was added...

and when you take him out, the Dunhams are sitting the way they were.

The Clintons had the best investigative team going and if they couldn’t find anything of substance to hang around Obama’s neck, there wasn’t anything to find, IMO.

If the Clintons had found this, that he committed fraud to get into the best schools, at the time of the election, this would have been enough to have derailed his campaign. The reason that the Clintons did not derail his campaign are likely because of behind the scene finagling and possibly their own skeletons being put on the table to "encourage" them into compliance.

The only rational assumption is that his (now) stated place of birth, birth name, and/or parentage are false. Any one, two, or as I conclude, all three.

I sometimes wonder if the number on his BC is 666 and he wants to cover up the fact that he knows that he is being groomed to be the anti Christ, or at least is a candidate for him. Just a wild thought. Changing a number shouldn't be too hard of a thing, I guess.

And that's the real conspiracy, 'Dreams' is nothing but the cover-up for who his parents were and where he really came from. There was a boy named BHO2, he went to Kenya with his father and Ruth:

Do you have any links to this story? I have been looking for it. Also, I once read a story about a man who says that he is the real BO and is depressed because his identity was stolen and he cannot be himself. His picture was with the story. It seemed kind of credible for some reason, but I cannot find it any more.

The subject of there being a real BO I have found and read about any number of times but can't any longer find any links about it. It is interesting and it goes along with the gut level feeling I have that BO is not at all who he says he is but has been manufactured, probably by the Soviets. Any info you have along this line would be appreciated.

I very much doubt if the Russians had anything to do with it...they would be either too busy looking after their own affairs, or laughing up their sleeve.

I would be VERY interested in the story about the man who said he was the 'real' BHO2. Can you remember where he was living?

The story tells itself if you look at the images I have posted. There were two boys:

They can name him David all they like, there never was a David, that boy on the left is zero, and the boy on the right is the son of the kenyan. As the boy on the right is OLDER than zero, he can't be Mark.

If he is what he says he is, it would only be logical to give free and open access to his BC and Selective Service Registration.

If he was registered as a foreign student there wouldn't be a selective service registration.

You’re right that he does look not so black. He could be Filipino. He could be Native Hawaiian. He could be Indonesian.

Someone needs to do a DNA analysis. It would be great to find out that the first black President wasn't even black. I wonder how that would go over with all the blacks, not that they would believe it, even if it was true. It would be very interesting to find out for sure what is race actually is.

I think he was living in Africa, maybe Kenya, but it's been quite awhile since I read about him. I have been trying to find the story or anybody who also saw the story but haven't been successful yet.

Are you sure it wasn't the story of Roman Obama, who was interviewed in 1992, the then 31 year old law student, (born in 1961) who had been at the Lumumba University since the early eighties? The one who looks like the kenyan-son-of-a-goat-herder:

Funny, the boy on the right might vaguely remind me of the picture of the man who said he was the real BO, but again, the story about him I read several years back so the recollection isn't very clear. Do you still have the link where you took this picture from or any other interesting links germane to the subject?

It goes to show that any of us with the know how need to remember to get hard copies of everything we can that may be pertinent to the subject of BO's true identity.

No, he didn’t look like that fellow. I don’t think that he was highly educated either or at least didn’t seem like it.

The articles the images came from have been removed.

The report on the Patrice Lumumba student in Moscow is here, it’s part of the thread about the story Tom Fife posted:

Did Kenya have scholarships for Kenyans to attend US universities?

I have since learned that the guy who had the name LIDDY on his shorts lied to me about being Gordon Liddy’s son

someone here showed me a link stating Liddy entered service in the mid 80’s

I am friends with Capt Larry Bailey, USN SEAL, called him to confirm, and he confirmed it

So, embarrassing as it is, I was ied to 30 years ago and only recently found out, so, while it is true I met someone named Liddy, he was not Gordon’s son.

And I wonder how many more fell for his line.

Neat link. You know what comes up? “Certificates of Live Birth”. Which is the same as a Birth Certificate. So .... educate me again on the difference?

I specifically responded to a post that said there was a supposed difference between a COLB and a Birth Certificate, and that Obama had only provided a copy (legit or not) of a COLB. A COLB and a Birth Certificate are the same thing, but some refuse to believe it or provide evidence otherwise. We look silly when we keep screaming for the “long form birth certificate.”

As to what he provided, do I think its real? I have no idea. Some lawyer showed up with a copy of a piece of paper. If the Arizona SOS wants verification directly from the State of Hawaii, then good for him!!

Yes that is the sense I have in looking at it. And also, wondering how many people were taking this picture, since all three are looking in a different direction.
