The Obama Lie That Drove the Birther Movement
American Thinker ^ | April 28, 2011 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 04/29/2011 2:10:49 AM PDT by RobinMasters

Newly released documents from Barack Obama Sr.'s immigration file, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, justify "birther" doubts about the nativity story on which Barack Obama based his presidential campaign.

The documents were posted Thursday in an article by Heather Smathers on the Arizona Independent web site. When I checked with Brian Wedemeyer, the Independent's managing editor, he confirmed, "They are legitimate documents."

A memo dated Aug. 31, 1961, from William Wood of the Immigration and Naturalization Services, does verify that Barack Obama, Sr. fathered a son, Barack Obama II, who was born in Honolulu on Aug, 4, 1961. For the record, most birthers of my acquaintance believe that Obama was born in the United States. That is not their issue.

Wood adds, however, that the child is "living with mother (she lives with her parents & subject resides at 1482 Alencastre St.)." He adds that Obama's citizen spouse plans "to go to Washington State University next semester."

This document thoroughly undermines the Obama nativity story, a story that has been told almost as often as Jesus's but with nowhere near the accuracy. Obama led with it in his 2004 convention speech and repeated it in the first sentence of his 2008 speech.

Friendly biographer David Remnick describes this story as Obama's "signature appeal: the use of the details of his own life as a reflection of a kind of multicultural ideal," and he underscores its essential role in Obama's ascendancy.

As Obama told the story in 2004, his father had grown up in Kenya "herding goats." His mother he traced to Kansas, as he always did. "My parents shared not only an improbable love," Obama continued, "they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation."

From the article:
1. Dunham and Obama, Sr. married February 2, 1961
2. Barry born August 4, 1961.
3. By all known mathematics, that is SIX months between marriage and birth.

Therefore, Dunham was either a)three months pregnant at the wedding or b)the mother of the oddest baby since Rosemary’s.

“A memo dated Aug. 31, 1961, from William Wood of the Immigration and Naturalization Services, does verify that Barack Obama, Sr. fathered a son, Barack Obama II, who was born in Honolulu on Aug, 4, 1961.”

The “memo” from Wood that the author described is actually a handwritten note that contains mostly bad information. The bad information probably came from Obama Sr.

The note is dated August 31, 1961. It says that Stanley Ann is living with her parents in Hawaii. We know from interviews with Susan Blake and Maxine Box that Stanley Ann was in Seattle in August 1961.

It also says Stanley Ann was going to attend Washington State. She actually went to the University of Washington. Mr. Wood didn't even bother to check to see if his information was accurate.

Mr. Wood had no possible way of knowing where Obama was born or if Obama Sr. was really the father. The handwritten note “verifies” nothing.

If taken together with the other documents it shows Obama Sr. was dishonest and untrustworthy but little else.

Obama absolutely disgusts me. He allowed a highly decorated soldier to go to jail rather than release his birth certificate and now he has the gall says it wasn’t political.

The correct answer is a and b.

I’m with you on that one. I am also disgusted with the senior officers who did not have his back. The cowards covering their own careers. The senior political people in both parties who let this go on, watched it happen. The press , cowards as a group, still calling Trump a racist for making zer0 blink.
We need to crash and start over.

What he released was once again NOT the Birth Certificate.

They could have taken a real BC and put it on the xerox machine and sent him a certified copy with a raised seal

When he released is what he was able to get a team of lawyers to convince Hawaii to release- an ‘abstract’ of cobbled information that the state of Hawaii swears to, making it legal and submissible in all 50 states.

Occams razor should apply- why go to all that trouble when it should be a LOT easier (Quite a lot easider) to photcopy the original.

We still have not seen that.

And this photoshop layered document is MANUFACTURED out of layers of cobbled together information, so that is why they are calling it an abstract.

But The Annointed Won cold have released a crayon drawn BC on cardboard and the willing, compliant presstitutes would have said “See???”

From whom did Wood get his information BO/BS was born in Hawaii? From birth announcements in the newspapers? From the Hospital that still won't confirm BO/BS was born there even after the document he released earlier this week? From BO's/BS's parents?

this kind of weird senario bending surrounding big O’s parents and the way some kind of silk purse has been made out of a sow’s ear with what sounds like the most communist and creepy parents possible reminds me of some kind of DRUG HAZE that must have been going on at the time where instead of raising their chins up and embracing god and the american way, they sit around and shoot up drugs and plot ways to overthrow a prosperous society that they feel totally alienated from. its like a DRUG HOUSE on the corner where the occupants are inside shooting up Heroin or something, and all the talk, all the mindset in that Drug House turns into Paranoia of the police and authorities who are surely out to get them and interrupt their supply of DOPE. at first there might just be an unusual vehicle parked out front of the place. then as the weeks roll on there are two cars that keep coming by, circling, watching, parking, then taking off a few minutes later. then there are so many coming and going that the whole block is parked up and down, the neighbors are putting out mercury vapor security lights and there is a group of several scruffy black-clad individuals standing around the residential area at 3am smoking crack and stealing everything that isnt nailed down. then somebody overdoses and dies, the cops start to get into the mess, and the druggers start to twist history and the facts and they try to develop in their minds alternate realities to live in that might insulate their psyche’s from the brutal truth. this is what this whole Barry thing reminds me of, drug addled “fellow traveller” parents steeped in communism, their fantasy gets out of control, someone dies, and a HUGE coverup ensues...

I think we are getting closer to the locus of what went on. his parents were into something, doing something, acting in a way that was counter to typical american life, they transferred that onto Barry as he was raised. something must have happened. more than just breaking immigration marriage laws, more than playing the hawaiian system for money, more than seattle-anarchism. something happened that hasnt been uncovered yet.

they must have been pretty well funded from somewhere to be taking trips all over the place. i was like 7 years old back in 1962 on the west coast, and even living in a nice part of LA, I can tell you that there wasnt anyone around my area that were acting like rich international jet-setters with tons of money to be going back and forth to hawaii, to seattle, to kenya, to harvard... his parents operation was well funded from somewhere.

Ping.

More interesting facts from Jack Cashill.

Barry is fraud and a liar!

Cashill seems to accept COLB-II at face value, concluding:

Given the historic performance of the president, and of the media, I think our birther friends are allowed a little grace time before they accept this new immaculately conceived certificate of live birth as Gospel. We would hate to have this too prove "fake but accurate."

“My parents shared not only an improbable love,” Obama continued, “they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation.”
..........................................................

Hahahahha What a Joke.

An improbable love that lasted as long as his erection, and her faith in Communism taught her by Frank Davis, a black racist.

If Barrack Obama Sr. had an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation it was only to get a free education paid for by his country ,and more sex paid for by the woman he engaged in sex with,after leaving Hawaii to his new digs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I too am disgusted with our highest military. They took an oath to defend the Constitution. They lied when they raised their hands and did that. What were they doing? Did they have their fingers crossed behind their backs and instead quietly whispered an oath to themselves that they would defend their perks and pensions?

Surely it is plainly evident that there are serious issues regarding Obama’s eligibility. These highest officers would have to be stupid not to see this. We know they aren't stupid so that leaves only one other option: corrupt!

When did turning a blind eye to deceit, fraud, and usurpation become part of the military code of honor? Where is the evidence that these eunichs sought peaceful, lawful, and legal certified clarification of Obama’s eligibility from congress, the courts, or Obama himself?

If certifiable evidence proving Obama’s eligibility was not forthcoming, these eunichs should have held a very public press conference. Laid out the lack of evidence, obfuscation, and deceit, and then promptly resigned. Then the next level of officers should have done the same all the way down to 2nd lieutenant.

They should do this today, given that Obama claims that his father was a foreign national.

Exactly. Where did they get that money. It cost a whole lot of gelt to fly back in those days.

Isn’t it amazing that the lame-stream media isn’t the slightest bit curious as to why Obama spent a small fortune and fought for several years to avoid releasing this birth certificate which, on the surface, has no new, or embarrassing information?

Either the document is a phony or Obama is crazier than we thought.

I have a question that I haven't heard an explanation for.
When I first saw the White House released .pdf I wondered why the background surrounding the COLD had that same pattern as the COLB itself.
That never happens when I scan in an document on our copier.
Also it's in color. Seems odd.

If you know the answer to my question ping me so "we can move on" to more import things. Like the failing Oprah Show.

“He allowed a highly decorated soldier to go to jail rather than release his birth certificate and now he has the gall says it wasn’t political.”

This is what Trump needs to hammer home. He can fully concede he turned out to be wrong about the BC, but can also say that part of the reason for his skepticism was that if it was so simple to release the long form BC, it was unimaginable to him that a honorable man would allow a decorated military officer go to prison rather than release the BC in a more timely fashion to avert this outcome. People can then draw their own conclusions about what kind of jerk has been allowed to occupy the WH.

...more sex paid for by the woman he engaged in sex with....

CORRECTION

Ann was a minor living with her parents. The 26 yr old Barack committed statutory rape, abandoned the woman he impregnanted shortly after they consummated the sex with a certificate (so as to avoid rape charges) and never looked back.

This is the American dream in which culture?
