Twenty-five years ago today, the New York Times ran its first profile of Barack Obama.

On February 6, 1990, it announced (in a headline that's now pretty dated), "First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review," and explained that the 28-year-old's new role was considered the "highest student position" at the school.

If I was a reporter and I wanted to nail obama, I would ask him a very simple question.

“Presidnt Obama, we look forward to visiting your library once you leave office. Can you tell me out of all the articles you wrote for the Harvard Law Review, which 3 are most memorable?”

That would get a good response... And an audit.

When he was elected to the Senate, all the news media was agog with the fact he WAS BORN IN KENYA!

Barry Soetoro (and that IS his current legal name, never legally changed) is an enormous fraud. His entire life story is a fabrication sprinkled with few truths. As such he is the perfect democrat political goon. And he is living down to the hype ... septic tank floater that he is.

American Victory,

Its indicative of someone who had his identity either manufactured or stolen.

Many thanks for checking on this “0” character.

All y’all, Ping to American Victory’s research!

The Kenyan newspaper said he was born in Kenya, the NYT said he was born in Hawaii.

Confusion reigns.

Shame the MSM didn’t do the same. IT should be public knowledge

FLASHBACK: KENYA 2006 - Welcome Home Senator Obama

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCxCg6Y5w6Q

This is mind blowing and clear evidence to anyone with an ounce of brain matter that this son of a bitch is NO AMERICAN.

Undoing the damage wrought by this fiend might take decades, unless the RIGHT gets serious about dismantling the marxist machine and ramming into place policies that ensure no communist is ever elected to any Federal or State office EVER again.

I find it curious that the “Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii” is tacked on the end of a paragraph almost as if an after thought...

He was the “President” of the Law Review, not the “Editor”.

The Editor is the top job. The President fetches the pizza.

When will we get to the bottom of this foreigner to the US presidency?

Put the mystery of the enigma, Obama, in the same file with the Kennedy assassination. We'll never be allowed to know the truth of who he really is, where he really came from, or how he got there.

We do know the truth of Obama’s birth. He was born in Hawaii. His mother never went to Kenya. His father barely knew his mother. And days after his Obama’s birth his father was gone, never to be seen again.

Obama is half Kenyan. His father was from Kenya. Like I am 3/4 Irish. But until I was an adult I had never been to Ireland.

Barack’s mother was 17 when she was first pregnant. A few days into her freshman year she met and hooked up with a grad student. In August just before her sophomore year she delivered her baby and in the same month the father left never to be seen again. He had married twice and tried to marry a third time before he was uncovered and thrown out of the country.

He was not born in Kenya. But Barack Obama did trade on his heritage. All his promotional material lied about his background like a Brian Williams story. Years before he was a US Senator or an author, his material portrayed him as both.

Obama is not Kenyan, he is a liar. His father was both a Kenyan and a liar.

There is no editor. All the law students who work on the review are editors. The President of Volume is the elected final editor/publisher.

“The Harvard Law Review is a student-run organization whose primary purpose is to publish a journal of legal scholarship. The Review comes out monthly from November through June and has roughly 2,500 pages per volume. The organization is formally independent of the Harvard Law School. Student editors make all editorial and organizational decisions and, together with a professional business staff of three, carry out day-to-day operations.

Aside from serving as an important academic forum for legal scholarship, the Review has two other goals. First, the journal is designed to be an effective research tool for practicing lawyers and students of the law. Second, it provides opportunities for Review members to develop their own editing and writing skills. Accordingly, each issue contains pieces by student editors as well as outside authors.

The Review publishes articles by professors, judges, and practitioners and solicits reviews of important recent books from recognized experts. All articles — even those by the most respected authorities — are subjected to a rigorous editorial process designed to sharpen and strengthen substance and tone.

Most student writing takes the form of Notes, Recent Cases, and Recent Legislation. Notes are approximately 22 pages and are usually written by third-year students. Recent Cases and Recent Legislation are normally 8 pages and are written mainly by second-year students. Recent Cases are comments on recent decisions by courts other than the U.S. Supreme Court, such as state supreme courts, federal circuit courts, federal district courts, and foreign courts. Recent Legislation look at new statutes at either the state or federal level.

Student-written pieces also appear in the special November and April issues. In addition to the Supreme Court Foreword (usually by a prominent constitutional law scholar), faculty Case Comments, and a compilation of statistics about the Court’s previous Term, the November issue includes about 20 Leading Cases, which are analyses by third-year students of the most important decisions of the previous Supreme Court Term. The April issue features the annual Developments in the Law, an in-depth treatment of an important area of the law prepared by third-year editors of the Review.

All student writing is unsigned. This policy reflects the fact that many members of the Review besides the author make a contribution to each published piece.”

” His entire life story is a fabrication sprinkled with few truths.”

O and his Soros type handlers spent millions covering up his life. But there is easily enough on the net to prove what he is.Problem is, deflated footballs get more scrutiny.

What proof do you have of that? I've never seen any.

“We do know the truth of Obama’s birth. He was born in Hawaii.” You are delusional.

When the Republican Governor of Hawaii made the following statement:
“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Senator McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawai’i. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. It’s been established. He was born here.”—Governor Linda Lingle; that resulted in John Boehner going on “Meet The Press” and saying: “The state of Hawai’i has said that the president was born there. That’s good enough for me.”
And because of those two statements, the Republican majority in the House has never held a hearing into Barry’s eligibility since they gained the majority in 2011.

Show me when the 18 year old pregnant girl from Hawaii went to Kenya to deliver her baby. She was in school, in Hawaii through May. So did the late term girl fly around the world just to have her child in Africa? What proof do you have of that? Why would a man who is about to abandon this girl and child bring it home to his country? So his actual wife can meet the baby? Then fly them back so he can abandon them? Really?
