New reports cite Obama's African 'home'; Ghana newspaper calls Africa 'continent of his birth'

[Red Steel]

An African news site and an MSNBC broadcaster have delivered new references to President Obama's birthplace as being outside of the United States, even as a controversy has developed over a letter purporting to be from the president claiming Kapi'olani hospital in Honolulu as his birth location.

Network correspondent Mara Schiavocampo was reporting on the celebratory atmosphere in Accra, Ghana, immediately prior to Obama's visit to the west African nation today.

Interviewing a person who appeared to be a shop operator, she suggested, "Barack Obama is Kenyan … but Ghanaians are still proud of him."

The video of the report is at this link.

Her report talks about the party atmosphere and the Obama fan clubs who has posted "Welcome home" signs.

"Although this may seem insignificant, it clearly stated an assumption about Obama's heritage that is clearly understood by African citizens and NBC as well," a WND reader said.

Meanwhile, a report at Modern Ghana also posted in advance of the president's visit cited his birthplace on the continent of Africa.

"For Ghana, Obama's visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American president on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth," the report said.

The Ghana press is more reliable than our MSM.

>Ghana newspaper calls Africa 'continent of his birth'

[Dallas59]

Then it’s set...he’s not qualified to be president and needs to be impeached for violating US election laws.

[AUH2O Repub]

Yeah, I’m sure they know more than all of the American investigators working on this. Can we please put our efforts into getting conservatives elected in 2010 and 2012.

[taxtruth]

Somebody is not being honest over this issue.

[real_patriotic_american]

It will be interesting to see what the mainstream news media says about this African newspaper now:

Excerpt-
“For Ghana, Obama’s visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American president on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth,” the report said.

[SolidWood]

Switch on your sarcasm radar. :oP

[real_patriotic_american]

This will eventually all catch up to Obama!

[GeronL]

continent of birth or did they mean to say he was inconinent because of his birth?

[taxtruth]

Just need to get one judge to do it.

[silverleaf]

Now you know where Michael Jackson got his sartorial inspiration

[real_patriotic_american]

PING!

Excerpt-

Hey, you can sit on the side-line ....that's your business. Rest assured that this detracts absolutely NOTHING from our goal of getting conservatives elected (and by the way, that's a terribly lame excuse).

But don't use this forum to disparage those of us who choose to defend the Constitution in the manner we have chosen.

I've had my say....now you can go back to being among the elite, self-righteous, status quo supporters who would rather look the other way.

Whoa, I didn’t know Africa has a far right, clinging to their bible and guns group ;^)

He’s represented by Orly Taitz. She has another good one- Lightfoot vs. Bowen and there are several more (i.e. Kerchner in N.J. represented by Mario Apuzzo)

You wrote- “Just need to get one judge to do it.”

[wiggen]

as much as i consider his place of birth an open question we don’t know if that article is a translation or if thewriter is well versed in english if thats the language it was written in.

[ckilmer]

A detroit radio station called the Kenyan embassy after the election of Obama. After a a few minutes they get through to the ambassador of Kenya.

The ambassador of Kenya says that obama was born in Kenya and that his birth place has become a national shrine.

Listen to the recording here

The quote is around 12:35, so if you don’t have time to listen to the whole thing, you can jump ahead.
The transcript reads:

Radio Jockey: President elect Obama's birth place over in Kenya -- is that going to be a national spot where he was born

Ambassador Peter Ogego: its already an attraction. his paternal grandmother is still alive

Radio Jockey:But his birth place...they'll put up a marker there

Ambassdor Peter Ogego: It would depend on the government. Its already well known.

Here is an abridged Utube version of the the radio interview. So you can hear just the relevant parts.

It can be reasonably pointed out that the DJ was trying to entrap the Ambassador and that the Ambassador fell into his trap.
However, if you listen to the long version of the radio interview --you’ll notice he used the same strategy on two different occasions and the ambassador gently brushed him off.

First, he tried to force the ambassador to sing the Kenyan national anthem. The ambassador referred him to the kenyan website.

Second he tried to push the ambassador into saying something about maybe Kenya becoming the 51st state. Again the ambassador said that Kenya was a sovereign country. ie No.

He used the same technique on the question of Obama’s birth place. This time the ambassador did not brush him off. Rather in answer to the question as to whether Obama was born in Kenya --he says "It is well known."

Because the ambassador answered no in the two previous examples -- you can't say that the ambassdor was either a fool or ill advised.

Finally, you might ask well doesn't he know that saying Obama is born in Kenya would make trouble for Obama? The answer there is why should he be concerned? He has heard no suggestion in the mainstream media that there might be a problem there. So to say what is already well known--as he says--would be no problem.

Here is a utube video of Ambassador Peter Ogego speaking at a conference. Ambassador of Kenya H.E. Peter Ogego To verify that the voice on the radio is Ambassador Ogego-- compare the radio voice with the DJ to the voice on the Utube that goes with Ambassador Ogego. Ambassador Peter Ogego is introduced a bit after minute 18..

They are the same.


Subsequently, the Kenyan ambassador said that he meant Obama's father was born in Kenya. However, when pressed about Obama's birth place:

"I don't know," he said with a tone of irritation. "You should ask your government. I know his father is Kenyan."

However, that's not what the original transcript suggests. clear="all" /> Finally, there is a Affidavit of Bishop Ron McRae which is part of the Berg case. The Bishop says pretty much the same thing as the Ambassador.

"Additionally, it is common knowledge throughout both the Christian and Muslim communities in Kenya, that contrary to news media propaganda here in the United States, US Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim and not a Christian, and that he was born in Mombasa, Kenya and not in the State of Hawaii as falsely purported by the Obama campaign for presidency of the United States."

While you cannot impeach the ambassador's character, you can impeach McCrae's character. After all, he's just an itinerant preacher. But McCrae has been to Kenya. Still that makes two people who say that it is common knowledge in Kenya that Obama was born in Kenya.
Then of course there is a video of Obama's grandmother saying that Obama is born in Kenya
There is a case to be made that Obama mother didn't mean Obama was born in Kenya but rather that he is a "son of this village". However, witnesses insist that she said she was present at obama's birth in Kenya. If taken alone, perhaps she could well be ignored. However, her take is in keeping with others both high and low.

Again here is a pdf transcript of Kenyan National Assembly on Nov 5, 2008, the day after Obama was elected. Over and over again there are references to Obama being a "son of the soil" of Kenya and a Kenyan. On page page 3275 there is this passage:

HOUSE SHOULD ADJOURN TO DISCUSS ELECTION OF MR. BARRACK OBAMA

Ms. Odhiambo: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not on this issue. I stand on a point of order under Standing Order No.20 to seek leave for adjournment of the House to discuss the American presidential election results.

(Applause)

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President-elect, Mr. Obama, is a son of the soil of this country. Every other country in this continent is celebrating the Obama win. It is only proper and fitting that the country which he originates from should show the same excitement, pomp and colour.



Again. It is not the one thing. Rather it is the tide.

The American Thinker explains here why the short form that Obama released is not sufficient for Hawaii. There is evidence to suggest that the home named in the newspaper archived article as the place where Obama was born -- was lived in by a couple not Obama's parents. Even the Honalulu Advertiser has a different address of record for Obama's father than the one listed newspaper birth listing. The hospital where Obama claims he was born--refuses to either confirm or deny that he was in fact born there--and that despite the fact that Obama has said he was born there in writing--and presented the hospital a memo to that effect...right after he was elected. What's more newspaper accounts of his birth place him in other hospitals around Hawaii. None of these will comment either.

Again. It is not the one thing. Rather it is the tide.

The Obama administration could put this to rest by releasing his long form birth certificate. But he doesn't. Instead of just releasing his long form birth certificate he has paid his lawyers over 1 million dollars from campaign contributions since Sept 08 to squash the suits brought on the issue. Why bother. The Arnold would have run for president long ago and likely won if he were a "natural born" american. He's not. He's naturalized. So he can't run. And he knows it. (though there were some trial balloons sent up a couple years back about changing the law--that went nowhere.)

Like the Arnold, Obama looks to be a naturalized citizen--but maybe he's not even that. Here's a footnoted timeline of obama's life 1961-2008. Its especially helpful to look at 1961 and 2008. Of interest is this: Interesting timeline with footnotes of obama's life.

of note

On April 10, 2008 Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduces Senate Resolution S. Res. 511 to “recognize that John Sidney McCain is a natural born citizen.” The resolution is allegedly meant to clarify that McCain is eligible to be President even though he was born in Panama. Because McCain’s parents were both Americans and he was born in Panama because his father was stationed there while in the military, existing law already covers McCain and he is eligible to be President. McCaskill’s resolution thus serves no purpose – except that language is included to try and provide a “blanket cover” for other foreign born candidates without military backgrounds, in order to enable Obama to be eligible to be President. This is the language that Obama inserted “Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were understood to be eligible to be President;” This Clause has no particular relevance to McCain [The language is inserted by Obama.][301,303]

Obama's Senate efforts to airbrush his past were augmented by his top Intelligence Advisor in March 2008. Obama's Intelligence Adviser Involved in Security Breach. Obama’s top terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O. Brennan, heads a firm that was cited in March [2008] for breaching sensitive files in the State Department’s passport office, according to a State Department Inspector General’s report released this past July. The security breach, first reported by the Washington Times and later confirmed by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, involved a contract employee of Brennan’s firm, The Analysis Corp., which has earned millions of dollars providing intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies and private companies. During a State Department briefing on March 21, 2008, McCormack confirmed that the contractor had accessed the passport files of presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John McCain, and that the inspector general had launched an investigation. Sources who tracked the investigation tell Newsmax that the main target of the breach was the Obama passport file, and that the contractor accessed the file in order to “cauterize” the records of potentially embarrassing information. In this video of Obama's reaction to the break in...he says twice that his reason for being concerned about the matter is not that he is concerned about what the records may reveal about himself...but rather etc. One denial is ok. Two denials in short order is of a piece with the other anomolies in his record.

Thanks to everyone.  19% is pretty good.  Let's get this Freepathon overwith.


                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...

19% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Spirit Of Allegiance says, "For those about to donate, I salute you!"  So do I.

By that time he will have been coronated.

Oh, someone’s got some explaining to do.......

[dannyboy72a]

I have no doubt that the birth “story” was change to Kapi’olani because it is a smaller, more controlled location. They wanted support from the President. He says, sure. You guys fake up a real birth certificate for me so I can release it in 2010 for the congressional elections and I’ll tell everyone I was born there. When people ask why I said I was born somewhere else, i’ll just say, “this is so old and tired, let’s move on” and the media will gleefully move on without a follow up.

I have no doubt that the entire media knows this man was not born here, but they know that even if they proved it without a doubt, nothing would come of it. No supremes are going to overturn the votes. The best that can come of this is his resignation (which i doubt), impeachment (yeah right), or he’s replaced in 2012. Obama is moving so fast because he knows once people catch onto his agenda - even Dems can’t support it.

If I was a Republican right now, I would say, we’re going to let you guys do whatever you want. We can’t stop you. In exchange for us not slowing you down, we want a sunset clause on all of your legislation so that when it fails, we aren’t stuck with it. When your healthcare debacle falls apart, we want the system returned to todays - where we have THE BEST HEALTHCARE IN THE WORLD.

No it has to do with small newspaper article that the obama people apparently forged last summer. that newspaper article which purported to indicate that obama was born at Kapi'olani hospital. Trouble was the house they said he was born in was lived by another family. (The couple died in the weeks before the newspaper article was published.)

There is evidence to suggest that the home named in the newspaper archived article as the place where Obama was born -- was lived in by a couple not Obama's parents. Even the Honalulu Advertiser has a different address of record for Obama's father than the one listed newspaper birth listing. The hospital where Obama claims he was born--refuses to either confirm or deny that he was in fact born there--and that despite the fact that Obama has said he was born there in writing--and presented the hospital a memo to that effect...right after he was elected. What's more newspaper accounts of his birth place him in other hospitals around Hawaii. None of these will comment either.

This is a variation on WWII motto. Loose lips sink ships. Only the obama people think that Americans are the enemy.

[justiceseeker93]

The statement by the MSNBC reporterette that "Barack Obama is Kenyan..." isn't quite equivalent to stating that he was born in Kenya. In colloquial American speech, referring to someone as a specific foreign nationality doesn't necessarily imply that the person was born in that country; it may mean merely that the person's ancestry was from that country.

So let's not make too big a deal over the MSNBC piece by itself.

However, the Ghanaian newspaper report to the effect that Obama was born on the African continent does confirm again that this is widespread knowledge among Africans, though considered a taboo in many circles in the US.

Where’s the birth certificate of obozo the clown? Where’s the marriage license of a white underage teen & a black Kenyan? Where’s the divorce papers?

All of these were called or visited from November 20 – December 2nd 2008. It is confirmed, OBAMA not born in any hospital in Honolulu County! NONE FACT!
Hospital employees bribed, some gave info for free. All to be released on video shortly.

Hospitals you can check yourself

* The Queen’s Medical Center – Honolulu, Hawaii Obama claims as his birth hospital
* Kapi’ olani Medical Center Obama’s sister claims Barack Obama born here
* Honolulu Shriners Hospital Never a patient Mom or Obama
* Straub Clinic & Hospital Never a patient Mom or Obama
* Hawaii Health Systems Corporation – Honolulu, Hawaii Never a patient Mom or Obama

You can look at every hospital here and call or visit any of them. Everyone has a family member working in a hospital. Talk, pay and bribe. You can file freedom of information acts, you can do everything and anything you wish. Barack Obama was never born in a hospital in Hawaii as claimed.

Oh My Goodness
If you go to

and go on the right side and find supporting
documents and go down about 1/4 of the way down
They say there were over 30 ss#’s used by Obama.
The ss# of his mansion doesn't match his current ss#.
They went on to make a connection with the plumbing company
that serviced the twin towers SEP 5, 2001 ( THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM TOTALLY FAILED ON 9-11)
YIKES If this is true just Yikes

"For Ghana, Obama's visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American president on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth," the report said.

Well, let's all hold hands across the planet, and celebrate this truly multi-national "president" by organizing, in "King Tut" touring museum style, the showing of his long form birth certificate, from sea to shining sea...

Did you mean “Lamé is terrible” or “that is terribly lame”? lol /s

Some people are not given the ability to be discursive but would rather offer disparaging remarks that would discourage.

They also mean to, in their mind, denigrate your position through marginalization.

Hope I made those sentences difficult enough.

Although, i suspect a person who presents a contrarian point of through an agrarian moniker that makes us think, huh? Oh, a Goldwater Republican. Is that in the mold of Hillary?

I didn’t know Honolulu was in Africa. All this time I thought it was on Hawaii, an island in the Pacific. Silly me.

“Yeah, I’m sure they know more than all of the American investigators working on this.”

i’m convinced that they are!

Work on getting obama out of the White House and voiding everything he has signed!!!
