"...If anyone is still puzzled about the facts, in fact I have never been a Muslim. We had to send CNN to look at the school that I attended in Indonesia where kids were wearing short pants and listening to ipods to indicate that this was not a madrassa but was a secular school in Indonesia..." ~ Barack Obama, 24 February 2008
In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live that featured a parody of a Clinton Obama debate, a faux Campbell Brown chirped "Like nearly everyone in the news media, the three of us are totally in the tank for Senator Obama". Funny? Yes, but this might have hit a bit too close to home.
Surely Barack Obama wouldn't lie now would he? But did the Obama camp really send CNN to Indonesia? Are we to believe that when the accusations of Barack Obama attending a madrassa as a child first broke on Fox News last year that Sam Feist's reply to the Obama camp would be "Please relax. You furnish the money, I'll furnish the debunk."
Like many Americans, my parents raised me to believe that it is the truth that matters. It is. Network news broadcasts and newspaper reports have the power to shape our perceptions, consciously and subliminally and as consumers we naturally expect a bit of integrity on behalf of the networks and media outlets. We expect that opinion and commentary are clearly identified as such. What we don't expect is that the news has been manufactured or bought and paid for. That CNN would assist Obama in deceiving the American people is downright despicable and I think if what Obama is saying is true, then both CNN and Obama owe the American people an apology.
For Barack Obama, the facts are that he is a liar and no one, not CNN or Sam Feist is ever going to change that fact. There is no amount of spin, flooding the internet or debunking that is ever going to change the fact that Barack Hussein Obama was born a Muslim and that he practiced Islam as a child, no more than I can change the fact that I was born and baptized a Catholic and attended Catholic school as a child.
Barack Obama often speaks of hope and change, but for a man that truly aspires to lead our nation, hope and change will simply not suffice, there can be no dignity without honesty.

Illinois Senate candidate's family in Kenya chose life in the slow lane
Was Barack's father married to Malik's mother at the time that he married Barack's mother?
He died in car crash in 1982, leaving three wives, six sons and a daughter. All his children except Malik live in Britain or the United States. One of the brothers died in 1984.
I cannot believe after all the slime that the MSM put out about Romneys Mormanism and the history of that religion(and no I was not a Romney supporter), that they could delete the fact that Obamas own father had THREE WIVES. The way the article is written, he was married to them all at the same time!!!!
Barack's half-brother, Malik, is 46. Barack is 43.
This is where I got the one I put up..I hope it is an ok site to post from..

That photo was also in the following article from USA Today (which we can’t post from here.)

I agree. And I still wonder if Barack’s father was already married (and still married) at the time he married Barack’s mother.
Barack’s half-brother, Malik, is 46. Barack is 43.
Barack is 46 and will be 47 this year.
I was curious about the origin of the photo and did a search on the photographer’s name.
Born in August 1961 would make Barry 46.
According to the article, Malik was 46 in 2004 and Barack was 43.
"While Barack may soon be heading to Washington, Malik, a 46-year..."Malik is 2 or 3 years older than Barack. So my question is"[Malik] first met his 43-year-old half-brother Barack."
Was Barack's father (still) married to Malik's mother when he married Barack's mother?
It is well established that Obama Sr.’s marriage to Stanley Ann Dunham was bigamous.
The bigger question is whether Obama and Dunham in fact WERE married, since Obama Jr. in his book admits the question of how and when they were married is one he has never had the stomach to examine.
Most likely they were married, since Stanley Ann felt the need to obtain a divorce, but indications are that the marriage probably occurred sometime in early 1961, after Stanley Ann learned she was pregnant, although the media persist in perpetuating the completely unfounded notion that they were married in 1960, since Obama was born in August 1961.
The problem with a 1960 marriage date is that Stanley Ann Dunham only met Obama Sr. in the fall of 1960, as a freshman at the University of Hawaii.
The notion that the progressive atheist Dunham decided to chuck all her feminist principles about not needing a man to marry a Kenyan exchange student after knowing him only two moths is incredible, but what the media asks its audience to believe rather than confront the more tawdry alternative.
Rush just mentioned the picture you put up.
Interesting.
I don’t know about this, but 3 years is plenty of time to get rid of one wife and get another. Obama’s Dad must have been a real “family man”.
