Here is a newly released video of Michelle Obama stating that she and Obama visited his home country in Kenya - she was speaking to a group during the Democratic Convention in Denver in 2008 when she made the revelation.Video link: She tells about their visit to her husband's home country at 42 seconds into the video. What more proof do we need now. This is ample evidence Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen. Michelle Obama says at 42 seconds into the video this:
"Barack has led by example, when we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country in, Kenya."
Okay I got a transcript and a 15min video.

He also supported, in his career, full funding for the Ryan White Care Act and has pledged…(Applause) a national HIV/AIDS strategy to combat this continuing epidemic right here in the United States. (Applause)
He has also spoken out against the stigma surrounding HIV testing, which is still plaguing so many of our communities, which you all know---a lot of that is due to homophobia. Barack has led by example. When we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country in Kenya, we took a public HIV test----for the very point of showing folks in Kenya that there is nothing to be embarrassed about in getting tested. We did it….. (Applause)
Barack has also worked to expand healthcare, pass welfare reform. He’s worked to ensure that the brave men and women who serve this country…that they don’t have to fight a new battle when they come back from service. That battle to get healthcare, to get to the front of the line and to get the services they need to live a full and healthy life. And, that includes mental healthcare. Barack has been fighting for…(Applause)…
If Obama really does consider Kenya as his home country, that is exactly the kind of thing the Natural Born Citizen clause was intended to prevent- some type of allegiance to a foreign power.
“Barack has led by example. When we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country in Kenya”
Bears repeating.
April fools
You’re reading too much into this. people talk of their homeland, meaning where their forefathers came from.
Home Country: the country in which a person was born and usually raised, regardless of the present country of residence and citizenship.
This current Democrat government was voted for by a willing electorate that loves the rhetoric of Marxism. (And they will continue to do so in droves.)
IMHO
That would be my line if someone bearded me on it, and I was da prez.
Scotland is Not my home country. Alabama is. ;-)

Bump out of curiosity!
NOT April fools you fool.
I've heard people of Irish decent use that phrase.
Obama zombies.
I listened to her for about 45 seconds and turned it off. Sometimes I think I hate listening to her more than I hate listening to him.
Do you suppose he would add as a parting shot, "And John McCain was too, so nyah, nyah, nyah, you hypocrites!"?
Me thinks Michelle has been eating way too much "toe food" at that get together.
Of course she meant his heritage home land, of course....
Precisely. But it's a lie if BHO I is not the papa as appears to be the case considering baby photos and BHO I's behavior, leaving his new bride after seeing the baby.
Could be but something that needs to be looked into. We do have a Constitution that needs to be upheld.
Already posted here last night, but your title is better so I hope the mods leave it.

Disagree. Where forefathers are concerned, I've heard "ancestral lands" used, not "home country."
I personally know of a particular instance where "homeland" was used, and in that case the person in question WAS born in that country (and later moved to another one).
The lefties couldn’t care less where he was born, if he’s a muslim, if he hates America....they hate a America, too!
That may be true however
1. He did not say it.
2. It is not a legally binding statement even if he had. He would heave to state explicitly that he was born there.
With that said I think this certainly should be investigated by our new republican led congress in 2011. So let’s get work and make sure we have the votes to kick Nancy’s butt.
Wrong. You don't count anyplace other than the place of your own birth as your "home country". When you are in France you speak of your home country being America. When you are in America, you are in your "home country".
Obama's home country is Kenya. That means he was born there.
“What more proof do we need now?”
Well, there’s this little matter of hearsay, that is, the wife testifying as to what the husband thinks, not proof of what the husband said. Second, it wasn’t under oath. Third, spouses cannot be compelled to testify against each other so forget putting her under oath. Fourth, home country and homeland are vague terms. As others have pointed out, many think of foreign nations as their homeland or home country, if you will. My own husband considers Germany “the Fatherland” although the last family member born there was his gg-grandfather.
If there is traction to the story, it has to come from sources better than this.
Right, the legal Rules of Evidence need to be applied. But what we have seen here is a good starting point for discovery.
Me too. I remember when JFK was said to be “a son of Ireland.”

“You’re reading too much into this. people talk of their homeland, meaning where their forefathers came from.”
I absolutely disagree. America is a melting pot, but I don’t know anyone born here who speaks of the country of their ethnic heritage as their “home country”.
“Sometimes I think I hate listening to her more than I hate listening to him.”
Listening to Democrats speak, generally, is obnoxious, distasteteful, sickening and just plain annoying.
It’s nothing but tiresome, inane, Marxist drivel that drips with pretentious, pseudo-intellectual elitism; absolutely disgusting and demoralizing.
(Many thanks to all you “independents” out there in your Marxist “brilliance”.)
IMHO
I think this is a stretch- I might say my father’s home country is Scotland etc...it’s more to reference background and family history than birthplace.
“You’re reading too much into this. people talk of their homeland, meaning where their forefathers came from.”
My forefathers are from Sweden and Ireland. I have NEVER in my 40 plus years not ONE time referred to either nation as my “homeland.”
I do think it is vitally important to adhere to the Constitution, but even if Obama himself says he was born in Kenya the SCOTUS will not intervene, they will not overturn an valid election by court ruling.
In my book, it's a huge waste of resources and time when as a country we face such larger problems very few which would be solved by tossing this usurper fraud.
Where did his Moma come from?...Oh wait...he had no mother.
Recall!
That was not just a slip of the tongue, or a misrepresentation. You don’t call your spouses’ ‘home country’ a ‘home country’ unless that’s what you know.
This will come out if the pubs take control of congress in November.
John McCain was born in the Canal Zone, which was supposed to be U.S. territory, until Jimmah gave it away.
Apparently our real rulers make more money with it under the current arrangement.
“NOT April fools you fool” >>>
It’s called sarcasm genius
I had forgotten about Ryan and how his sealed divorce records were suddenly opened in campaign season. What utter scum our political class is.
I would agree with you under "normal" circumstances, but this is not normal.
First, of all there is a difference between the words Michelle used, "home country," and your word, "homeland." In my experience, it's quite ununusal -- in fact, I have never heard it -- for a person to use the words "home country" to describe the place where their forefathers came from.
Secondly, this was in 2008 and it was spoken by the wife of a man who was running for President of the United STates. Say what you will about Michelle, she is no dummie. No political spouse, but especially not one in the environment the Obamas were in in 2008 and one with a husband with such a mysterious and unusual personal past, would stand up and start talking about her husband's "home country" without realizing that, whoops!, she ought to watch her words.
Therefore, one has to wonder why she did not. I mean, in the political environment they were in, even if she were to talk about Obama's "homeland," in the sense you suggest, that would be just stupid. Does she really have no clue that people might object to a President who feels he has a "homeland" or a "home country" other than the United States?
You are quite correct, and that may very well be the proper context for her statement.
However.....what if it wasn't?
No matter, there's no doubt that you nailed what their response would immediately be.
That’s exactly what Al Sharpton said.
If things really go down the crapper, the courts will open the files just to get rid of him.
This is why, either, a successful revolution, or a successful civil war are the DEFINITIVE SOLUTIONS to this ongoing problem of U.S. socialism. Just electing a majority of non-leftists in ‘10 and/or beyond won’t do it for conservatism, if leftist legislation that’s already in place really can’t be undone by future non-leftists.
Bracko has led by example. He has hidden every pertinent record of his life.
