Colin Powell: Obama blew away the birthers
Associated Press ^ | May 6, 2011 | SUSANNE M. SCHAFER

Posted on 05/06/2011 7:23:44 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Colin Powell told graduates of South Carolina's premier historically black university that they were graduating during a tumultuous time that saw a royal wedding, a pope's beatification and a U.S. military assault that killed Osama bin Laden, "the worst person on earth."

But the former secretary of state and Joint Chiefs chairman told South Carolina State University's 400 graduates on Friday that he particularly enjoyed another recent event: "That was when President Obama took out his birth certificate and blew away Donald Trump and all the birthers!"

The Birthers wanted to see his BC. He had to finally produce it. I think the Birthers won.

I think it is a strange birth certificate. Who would describe a person's race in 1961 as African? I can see them describing the possible father as Negro or more likely Arab, but not African.

It almost makes me wonder that some dumb forger had BHO Sr. be called African so the Messiah can then be called African American.

I would hope this so-called birth certificate be subjected to serious analysis as that horrid forgery of a COLB was.

Of course, I like the cute signature at the bottom of the birth certificate, Ukelalee or whatever. Makes me want to take up the instrument right now.

Article II, Section 1.5 - No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

A "natural born citizen" is a person born in the United States to parents who are citizens of the United States.

Barack Obama is not a “natural born citizen”. Period.

Colon Bowel is as racist as Jessie JackaSS and proved that by throwing away his year of faked “conservatism” in favor of supporting Obama - all because of race.

Obama has proved nothing, as his most recently released “BC” is as fake as the others.

The “Birthers”, or as I like to refer to them-—Constitutional Patriots-—
ARE STILL HERE, Mr. Powell...we are NOT amused; we are NOT convinced, AND, we are NOT tired.

Listening to a radio interview with Joseph Farah, he claims the the discussion will turn back to BC issues starting next week.

I'm sure Farah hopes so. The BC issue was the only game he had going. What's he going to do with all his "Where's the Birth Certificate?" billboards?

This should make Colin Powell a “conservative” with the MSM.

"President Obama took out his birth certificate and blew away Donald Trump and all the birthers!"

Yeah, Colin. He gave 'em what they've been asking for. Has it occurred to you that he could have done it over 2 years ago???

This is becoming more bizarre every day. The bc issue was dying down and Obama himself began to make jokes about it and references until Trump got involved. Now, everyone acts like the new bc (appears to be as fake as the first one) has settled it all. Now Powell and others are making fun. I just don’t get it.

Maybe we are doing exactly what is intended....paying a LOT of attention to this and not reading anything like this:

I’m wondering if Col. Terry Lakin can now request a copy of that birth certificate to use? It’s been put into the public domain so b. HUSSEIN can’t claim that it’s private, personal anymore.

Use for what?

He can print out a copy and frame it on his wall. Other than that, what good will it do him? Lakin's trial is over. He plead guilty.

I received the below in email:

That Hussein guy was not born in the USA. Only democrats can do this to America. Remember the “Peanut Grower” Jimmy Carter?

I found two extremely strange inconsistencies that merit some attention.

First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama’s birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama’s birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that he was born in “ Kenya , East Africa “.

This wouldn’t seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, 27 years after the father’s birth. How could have Obama’s father been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the “British East Africa Protectorate”.

But, this is not the only thing that I found that just does not jive.

The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born in. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is “Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital”. This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called “KauiKeolani Children’s Hospital” and “Kapi’olani Maternity Home”, respectively. The name did not change to Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?
SEE BELOW:
A Century of Care for Hawaii’s Women and Children
This is the story of two hospitals: Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital and Kapi‘olani Maternity Home.

Concerned about the welfare of Hawaii’s mothers, Queen Kapi‘olani held luau and bazaars to raise the $8,000 needed to open Kapi‘olani Maternity Home in 1890. She endowed her legacy with “Kulia i ka nu‘u” or “Strive for the highest.”

In 1908, Albert and Emma Kauikeolani Wilcox donated $50,000 to start a children’s hospital. The community, concerned that two of every seven infants in Hawai‘i did not live to see their first birthday, rallied to match the Wilcox’s gift. A year later, Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital opened.
The two hospitals joined in 1978 to become Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children. Staying true to its mission, the non-profit hospital has played a vital role in the health of Hawaii’s women, children and adolescents. It is staffed with highly skilled, compassionate physicians and nurses, dedicated to providing the finest care for Hawaii’s families:
Specially-trained physicians, nurses, staff and equipment that uniquely care for children, from infants to young adults.

The state’s only pediatric emergency room and pediatric intensive care unit.

The highest level of neonatal intensive care, with specialists on-site 24/7 to care for babies at delivery, should the need arise.

A major training facility for the University of Hawai‘i, John A. Burns School of Medicine’s Pediatric and Ob/Gyn residency programs.

The state’s first Women’s Center, offering an array of screening and therapy services to improve the health and well-being of Hawaii’s women.

The state’s only Breast Center, offering screening, diagnostics and cancer treatment, all in a beautiful spa-like setting.

The state’s only Women’s Cancer Center, for the prevention and treatment of gynecological cancers (ovarian, endometrial, cervical, vulva and vaginal cancers).

" I think he is a transformational figure. He is a new generation coming onto the world--onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I'll be voting for Senator Barack Obama." - Colin Powell, Meet The Press, 10/19/08

How's that all workin' out for ya, General?

Colin Powell is a _______! I don’t think he’s blown anything away. He’s just told more lies and the media and butt kissing Republicans have never pressed him on it.

Here is something I received in an email today. I do not know where it originated. Some of you pros can decide if what he says is true or not. Meanwhile, I wonder if Colin Powell has any inkling how low his stock has sunk since he became an Obummer lapdog?

Now here is the birther material I received today: “As you all know, Donald Trump made a big deal about Obama’s birth
certificate. As of yesterday, the White House released the birth
certificate.
I will tell you right now that I had never given this “birther” issue any
credit. I watched the hype and the crazies come out. I completely dismissed
the entire ordeal altogether. In fact, it was not until the White House
released the birth certificate that it had gained my attention.
I am the studious sort of guy, and I have plenty of time on my hands. So, I
took a close look at this document. While I would have thought that this
issue would have been closed for good (and, got the crazies to crawl back
into their holes), I found two extremely strange inconsistencies that merit
some attention.

First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists
Obama’s birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his
father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama’s birth, it also shows that
his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama’s father was born in “ Kenya
, East Africa “. This wouldn’t seem like anything of concern, except the
fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama’s
birth, and 27 years after his father’s birth. How could have Obama’s father
have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was
formed in 1963, it was known as the “British East Africa Protectorate”. But,
this is not the only thing that I found that just does not jive.

The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born in.
On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of
birth is “Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital”. This cannot be,
because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called “KauiKeolani
Children’s Hospital” and “Kapi’olani Maternity Home”, respectively. The name
did not change to Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978,
when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the
hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been
applied to it until 1978?

Go ahead, look it up. I am not talking crazy talk, these are the facts. Like
I said, I thought that this was a non-issue until the actual certificate was
released. Now that it has been released, of course I had to look into it. I
have found these issues, now I know that something is up. If you doubt me,
just look at the following resources:
Sure as hell, the hospital part is true, as you can read about the 1978
merger here.

Post-colonial history (from Wikipedia)The first direct elections for
Africans to the Legislative Council took place in 1957. Despite British
hopes of handing power to “moderate” African rivals, it was the Kenya
African National Union (KANU) of Jomo Kenyatta that formed a government
shortly before Kenya became independent on 12 December 1963, on the same day
forming the first Constitution of Kenya.

Reportedly Jerome Corsi was back in Hawaii this week investigating the release of Obama’s recent COLB.

Hmm, so if you had a map of the world in 1961 - Kenya wouldn’t be on it? hmmm - interesting

(anyone have an old Nat’l Geographic collection? check 1961)

I still think he wasn’t born on that date - his school pictures show him much bigger=heftier and towering over his classmates - It’d be one thing if he was 7 feet tall now - but he isn’t...and he’s not hefty.

I really don’t get this.

The newly submitted BC is a 100% guaranteed fake. It’s provably a fabrication, easily so. This isn’t really any “pet” issue of mine, but to see such an engineered fake released by the white house is troubling. There is a decided brazenness that the elites of this country believe they can and should be able to get away with.

And the world is eating it up.
