Oh, oh.

Just curious, but does Obama have any ties to the Lippo Group or the Riyady family (of Clinton Era infamy)?

Articles from 1990 cast doubt on president's 'official' childhood story

Unfortunately, since Barack (Hussein) 0bama has blocked all release of his U.S. passport and travel records, there is no public documentation of when he first traveled to Indonesia, or under what passport.

[Thanks again, onyx.]

“I’m not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me. And I’m not interested in isolating myself,” Obama said in a recent interview. “I feel good when I’m engaged in what I think are the core issues of the society, and those core issues to me are what’s happening to poor folks in this society.”

His passion is rooted in his background. He was born in Hawaii, his father an Oxfordand Harvard-educated economist from the African nation of Kenya, his mother a white anthropologist from Kansas. Obama moved to Southeast Asia at age 2 when his parents divorced and his mother married an Indonesian.

Until the fifth grade, Obama attended Indonesian schools, where most of his friends were the sons of servants, street peddlers and farmers. Concern for Obama’s education led his mother to return him to Hawaii, where he attended public schools through high school. In 1983, he graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science.

At a recent meeting in a Harvard cafeteria, his affinity with the underdog was readily apparent. “I lived in a country where I saw extreme poverty at a very early age,” Obama said. “Parts of my family in Kenya remain very poor. My grandmother still lives in a mud-walled house with no running water or electricity.

“That’s who I am, that’s where I come from, not always literally, but at least emotionally.” ...

Obama moved to Southeast Asia at age 2 when his parents divorced and his mother married an Indonesian. where did Stanley meet Sotero originally?

LucyT = look... this is not new info at all!
Huh?

[Yaelle]

My grandmother still lives in a mud-walled house with no running water or electricity. “That’s who I am, that’s where I come from, not always literally, but at least emotionally.” ...

Whatta bloody phony!!! I wonder if he even believes this himself. He's a Soviet Union-era communist who believes "It's all about the poor," yeah, controlling them from your elegant dacha. He is the Anointed One and deserves all the taxes from the workers, while HE "solves" their problems from above.

And his history is filled with so many inconsistencies that who knows what even approximates truth?

[LucyT]

Thanks - ‘tis okay, there is so much to keep up with, a refresher course is welcome occasionally.

[antceecee]

He obviously does not believe in helping his own. His success has not helped to lift his relatives circumstances. Charity begins at home.. he apparently does not wish to help his own blood.. why would anyone believe he would care about helping them?

[Lancey Howard]

Interesting... This certainly sheds a little light on Ubama’s reparations agenda.

Don’t have the facilities to do this but;During his ACORN days in Chicago I’m pretty sure there’s a film clip of him participating at a (housing redlining) protest at a Chicago bank. It’s either the ABC or NBC affiliate ch 7 or 5. The Trib or The Sun Times might have a report of in in their morgues

“I feel good when I’m engaged in what I think are the core issues of the society, and those core issues to me are what’s happening to poor folks in this society.”

Yeah. He did a real good job of that in Chicago.

Obama's "community organizing" left Chicago neighborhoods in ruins.

Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."

[American Constitutionalist]

“I lived in a country where I saw extreme poverty at a very early age,” and the poverty had nothing to do with “ EVIL “ capitalism that the liberals so claim happens, it has more to do with corrupt dictator(s) that ran Indonesia and Islam.

This is what I expected from someone who seals his records and the rat media, along with the rat press, continue to get on their hands and knees to lick his boots. A complete phony. I wish we would just get the truth for goodness sakes.

[carcraft]

The news paper story is Pure BS “where he attended public schools through high school.” Obama graduated from one of the most expensive pep schools in the country. May Jason Blair was cutting his teeth for future work at the New York Times!

[carcraft]

should read “maybe” Jason Blair

[carcraft]

Actually Obama participated in a legal action entitled Buycks-Roberson VS Citibank to help end redlining and force banks to give subprime loans.

[nuconvert]

Simple fix....The AP reporter was mistaken.
