Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

I notice this is attributed to AP
I wonder if AP scrubbed this too
KEEP this link

also why is this not on the front page of FR any longer?

[devere]

Someone please notify Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Glen Beck, Bill O’Reilly, etc.
I wonder what sort of “offer they couldn’t refuse” was made to all those nutty anti-birthers?

[Churchillspirit]

I seem to recall that there was an interview done by Robert Novak where the subject of The Kenyan’s eligibility was discussed.

The gist of it was that his Kenyan birth was not an obstacle because he was running for the senate - not the presidency.

Unfortunately, they were covering it up and if John McCain, the traitor, brought it up they were prepared to use his even though he is legit.

Obama was all but guaranteed the POTUS. They had it all planned out. That’s why I say he was selected; not elected.

He is a phony and a traitor.

[freekitty]

John McCain was selected to run too simply because of his birth.

this was from NPR

While I have doubts about Obama’s birthplace (mainly because he refuses to order the release of the long form), this article is pretty much meaningless.

Finding a handful of references to him being born in Kenya out of the thousands and thousands of articles stating he was born in Hawaii doesn’t prove anything, other than that newspapers make mistakes.

I seriously doubt the Sunday Standard had any inside information that the rest of the media did not have. The odds are about 99.99% that they simply made a mistake (even if that “mistake” caused them to inadvertantly publish a truth that nobody knew was true).

Of course, it is possible that Obama was born in Kenya, but if the Sunday Standard “got it right” it was because they “got it wrong” when attempting to report the official and commonly reported details of Obama’s birthplace.

I’m sure if we look hard enough we could find articles stating that George W. Bush was born in Texas or that Sarah Palin was born in Alaska.

“I seriously doubt the Sunday Standard had any inside information that the rest of the media did not have.
Go back and read the link. it is an AP story

not that ap couldn’t gget it wrong but as a world wide news org they do have some credibility.
When you add it to the NPR article quoting their staff member in kenya also saying 0dumbo was kenyan born
You certainly can understand why people want to see the original BC from Hawaii

Remember these articles were writtne back in 2004 when it would have meant little for someone born in kenya to run for the Senate

something is amiss. Frankly I dont think a president should be allowed to keep background records off limits to the public.

In this electronic age, it takes great effort to erase your foot print. Why all the effort?

At each of the two major steps forward in Obama’s political career — becoming an Illinois state senator and a United States senator — he has advanced not by winning a vote against a tough opponent, but by default, after those tough opponents were forced off the ballot. Let’s skip through his political career chronologically...

He apparently was a CIA asset when his mother was living in Pakistan.
