Tanzanian newspaper reports that Obama has “origins from East Africa” OBAMA “ROOTS OUTSIDE COUNTRY”
Post Email ^ | July 13.,2010 | Sharon Rondeau

An online newspaper based in Tanzania is reporting that “Barack Abdallah Husein Obama,” the “first black US president,” was born outside of the United States.

Written in broken English, the article notes that the President of the United States has historically been required to be born on U.S. soil but that “This might have been the result of racism or belief that a person other than ‘original’ US citizen was capable of effectively leading the powerful nation and help it to maintain its values.”

The writers go on to say that “We witnessed last year a senator with his origins from east Africa, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama, becoming the first black US president. He won the race on Democrat ticket and was sworn on January 20, 2009 as US president.”

The article then compares the events of the 2008 U.S. presidential election to the upcoming election to be held in Tanzania later this year in which a candidate from “Pemba” could win.

The publication contains other articles mentioning Obama, one of which was covered the G20 summit in Toronto and was dated June 28, 2010.

The authors state that Zanzibar, which consists of two islands, Pemba and Unguja, has never elected a president from the island of Pemba. The two islands of Zanzibar located in the Indian Ocean are part of Tanzania in East Africa, with the country of Kenya just north of Tanzania.

Numerous articles before the election showed zero as born in Kenya. Minutes of Parliament of Kenya refer to zero’s Kenya origin. Michelle refers to Kenya as zero’s homeland. Doubtful documentation shows a Kenya birth...therefor the more I hear or see about a Kenya birth, the more inclined I am to see each example as a deliberate distraction.

It’s not Hawaii. It’s not Kenya IMO. We are being led by the nose to see something that isn’t there.

One day soon, someone will show who his father and mother were. THEN we will know...and not before.

For more than 200 years US citizen could not pick a president who has roots outside the country. This might have been the result of racism or belief that a person other than ‘original’ US citizen was capable of effectively leading the powerful nation and help it to maintain its values.

??????

But that's meaningless nonsense so far as the US concerned.

Didn't all our presidents have "roots outside the country"? At the very least, you've got those presidents whose mother or father or both were born in some part of the British Isles or Empire.

But after political changes globally, and strengthening of democracy, things have changed in the US. We witnessed last year a senator with his origins from east Africa, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama, becoming the first black US president. He won the race on Democrat ticket and was sworn on January 20, 2009 as US president.

Having "roots" or "origins" outside the country? You mean like Kennedy and Ireland? The Roosevelts and Holland? Or are you reading more into this than is there?

This is the first time I've seen the additional name.;

That is the most interesting. The article doesn't say he was born outside the country, it says he has roots in East Africa.

From Think Baby Names

The boy's name Abdallah \ab-dallah, abd(al)-lah\ is a variant of Abdul (Arabic) and Abdullah (Arabic), and the meaning of Abdallah is "servant; God's servant".

Figured something like that, with "allah" at the end.

It was clear enough before the election to anyone with eyes, however, there really can’t be any doubt now: President Hussein is a foreign-born Moslem who was never constitutionally eligible to be chief executive, and who’s busily digging away at the US and her institutions on behalf of his Middle Eastern pals.

If he’s constitutionally ineligible, then any law he signed is invalid, including Healthcare and the stimulu packages.

Possibly according to the constitution; however, the constitution these days isn’t worth the parchment it’s printed on.

Agreed, this blatant talk of Kenyan "origins" could be sleight of hand (I am not willing to discount it yet, but it is possible that the press in other countries is poking at us and laughing), and the truth could be hiding in plain sight. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the magician's hands and not just the cards or the rabbit.

We can each keep our eyes on different things.

The way to take him down...is NOT via the absence of a birth certificate....but through FRAUD. The DNC committed a fraud-650 million worth of a FRAUD on the American People.

Suits directed by defrauded donors WILL go further than any “constitutional eligibility” challenge.

Swahili to English (via Google Translate, first two paragraphs):

KWA zaidi ya awamu 44 za urais wa taifa kubwa duniani la Marekani, mtu mwenye asili ya nje ya nchi hiyo hakuwa na nafasi ya kuongoza, aidha kutokana na ubaguzi wa rangi na asili au imani kwamba rais asiyekuwa Mmarekani, hana uwezo wa kuliongoza taifa hilo katika misingi ya kulinda maslahi ya kudumu ya taifa hilo.

“FOR more than a phase 44 of the presidency of a great nation on earth the U.S., having origin outside the country does not have a chance to lead, either because of racism and nature or belief that the president does not become an American, has no ability to lead the nation in terms of protecting the interests of a lasting state.”

Lakini kutokana na mabadiliko ya kisiasa duniani na kukomaa kwa demokrasia ya nchi hiyo, utamaduni huo ulivunjwa na Seneta mwenye asili ya Afrika ya Mashariki, Mkenya, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama baada ya kushinda na kuapishwa rasmi kuwa raisi wa Ikulu ya ‘White House’ Januari 20, 2009 katika jiji la Washington, D.C nchini Marekani.

“But due to changes in the political world and the maturity of democracy in the country, the culture was pulled by Senator nature of East Africa, Kenya, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama after winning and published officially become president of the White House ‘White House’ January 20 , 2009 in the city of Washington, DC in the United States.”

The Citizen (Dar es Salaam)
Tanzania: Zanzibar Nomination - the Shein Puzzle

9 July 2010

The Zanzibar CCM presidential nomination race continued to hot up yesterday, with puzzling claims emerging from Dodoma, which suggested that Vice-President Mohamed Shein might have withdrawn from the contest.

[…]

Speaking to The Citizen, former Zanzibar Attorney General Hamid Mbwezeleni said: “Dr Shein is qualified to contest any elective post but he can’t vote in Zanzibar. Interestingly, in recent days I have heard mischievous interpretations of the constitutional articles, indicating that he is eligible to run for the presidency. But my question is: Does he retain this right after he willingly refused to register as a voter in Zanzibar?” he asked.

[…]

For his part, a lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC), Mr Ayub Rioba, said that if it was true that Dr Shein had withdrawn after discussions on the legal implications of his candidature, then that was a positive sign.

“They will have noted the anomaly sooner than later and for CCM to advise Dr Shein to withdraw is a positive development and a sign of political maturity and democracy in the country,” he said.

[…]

Political maturity and democracy. Heh.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My personal take on this:

Someone is laughing at us.

(1) First they begin by stating that America holds blatant disregard of its own Constitution by electing an ineligible candidate (”having origin outside the country does not have a chance to lead”)
(2) but say that electing someone “having origin outside the country” is due to “changes in the political world and the maturity of democracy in the country, the culture”
(3) then they raise their eyebrows at Tanzania’s possible flouting of its own constitution (”mischievous interpretations of the constitutional articles”) since their presidential candidate wasn’t locally registered as a voter,
(4) then they finish by stating the fact that the ineligible candidate withdrew was a sign of their moral superiority and “a positive development and a sign of political maturity and democracy in the country.”
