As a noob, you should use the sarc tag, genius.
>>>You’re reading too much into this. people talk of their homeland, meaning where their forefathers came from.<<<<
Seriously?
Well, her expression of Mr 0bama’s “Homeland” will come in very handy as a TV commercial for every major election until he is out of office.
The Commander in Chief, President of these United States does not and should not go around inserting the First lady to inform the country about the fact that his “HOMELAND” is in Africa.
My grandfather emigrated from Italy and he ALWAYS demanded everyone understood that his “HOME” was in America, NEVER Italy. And he was just a simple railroad worker, not the POTUS.
Have you ever been able to mark 'Swedish-American', or 'Irish-American' as RACE on a census form?
What resources are being wasted investigating this?
Exactly. Many African-Americans refer to Africa as the "Homeland" all the time. This isn't a smoking gun.
Well, someone has to pay the lawyers fees and court costs.
Really, more power to them if it floats their boat.
But, I think we can spend more time on the upcoming elections GTVO and informing people why it's important to toss the rats and replace with conservatives
Ah-O! You better get over here. They got Michele saying they got an HIV test before “visiting Barack’s home country”.
Yes, but Germany is called the Fatherland by many people. That has a special meaning, not necessarily indicative that a person was born there.
That said, what I see here is the continuing mindset by these two that they are at least romantically connected to Kenya, yet they never seem to display much of any similar affection or bond to the U.S. of A.
IOW, I find their mentality as troubling as anything else.
Imagine if Dubya had gone around talking about Ireland (isn’t that his heritage?) or whatever country he had in his heritage as his “homeland” or his “home country.” Would that have set well with Americans? If Bobby Jindal were to become President, say, and then start talking about India as his “home country” or “homeland,” wouldn’t that be just wierd?
It’s just not done. Except by these dopes. And they are the ones already in the middle of a swirl of questions of Obambi’s past as it is.
Still, I highly doubt JFK every called Ireland his “home country.” I highly doubt even more that JFK rarely made statements of affection for and bond with America.
Wrong. They are talking ethnicity, not where they were born. Two different things obviously. Know any African-Americans from Jamaica? I met a lot when I got married there over the summer.
Michelle (or her spokes-weasel): “It is, euphemistically speaking, his home country, just as every African American’s homeland is Africa, in ways that the racist and Biggoted United States of America can never be ... unless repartaions are paid, and injustices corrected ... It has nothing to do with place of birth, and was never meant to imply Kenya was his natal land.”.
Just FYI for scoffers and know-it-alls.....
The definition at several web-definition sites:
Home country-home country
1. the country in which a person was born and usually raised, regardless of the present country of residence and citizenship
Google it yourselves.....
I heard it, she said, I quote “homo country”!
My gosh, how absurd can you get? Will you please stop grasping at straws?
But, but, but... It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was born in Kenya... or Indonesia... or... or...
If we don't toss the 'usurper fraud' we're going to be facing much larger problems down the road. Tossing the usurper fraud will go a long way in overturning all of the socialist crap he's been ramming down our throats.
Tossing the usurper fraud is exactly what needs to be done first before we can undo anything else.
Where the hell are you coming from?
Publicly wished(won’t have to now it’s post-election) to provide a valid birth certificate, but privately wants to believe the exotic event about being born in Africa

How about not using a fraud to prove your point?
