Look who else confused about Obama birthplace
WND ^ | MAY 18, 2012 | AARON KLEIN

Posted on 05/19/2012 4:58:20 PM PDT by RobinMasters

President Obama’s literary agent is not the only one who was confused over the politician’s birthplace.

The U.S. government is on record questioning Obama’s citizenship status as early as when he was 5 years old, stating it lacked documentation to determine his citizenship, WND previously exposed.

The citizenship inquiry dated back to 1966, when Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was attempting to secure a waiver so her second husband, Indonesian citizen Lolo Soetoro, could return to the country after his visa had expired.

Dunham and Obama Sr. are reported to have divorced in 1964.

In 1965 in Hawaii, Dunham married Soetoro, an Indonesian, and moved to Indonesia in October 1967.

Soetoro had been studying at the University of Hawaii as part of a State Department-initiated student exchange program.

Soetoro’s student visa had been sponsored by the University of Hawaii’s Center for Cultural and Technical Interchange between East and West. The program enforced strict visa limitations, requiring foreign students to return to their home countries after two years.

According to U.S. immigration files obtained and reviewed by WND, Soetoro was approved for a 21-month study grant beginning Sept. 1, 1962, at the East-West Center.

It is all slowly being revealed....Obama's days "living in the shadows" as an undocumented worker are about over.

There are dedicated, honest reporters on the job, and tick, tick tick....it will all come out...right down to Obama being a child of affirmative action...never having to suffer the normal procedures to gain entrance to any organization he has ever applied to, right down to POTUS.

I can’t help but wonder how many people would go to such lengths to seek help in securing that extended visa for her then current husband. It seems the entire family at that time (and certainly now as well) knew exactly WHO to appeal to for special privileges. Most of us have gone through life learning what we can and can’t do and move on and don’t make federal cases out of being told NO... Someone, somewhere learned how to manipulate the system but I suppose that goes hand in hand with professional students.

Not surprisingly, another WND birther chain-yankin' headline.

From the article...

Benson’s query stated: “There is nothing in the file to document the status of the spouse’s son.

A response to Benson’s inquiry came from one “W.L. Mix” of the central immigration office, who determined Obama was a U.S. citizen.

Mix replied: “Pursuant to inquiry from central office regarding the status of the applicants’ spouse’s child by a former marriage.”

“The person in question is a United States citizen by virtue of his birth in Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug. 4, 1961. He is living with the applicants’ spouse in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Correct; neither Stanley Ann Dunham nor BH0, Senior are parents to the person who claims to be BH0 II.

I don't think so but with Commie Crombie who knows. And we have no idea what corroboration W.L. Mix of the central immigration office got. It could have been Granny Dunham blowing smoke to W. L. Mix.

It's pretty certain after 4 years of Obama and Hawaiian rigamarole that the state has no legitimate proof that Obama was born there.

Sort of looks like it was just dropped in the file in order to bolster a false story. The memo by W.T.Mix(what the heck kind of a name is that?)may be a recent fabrication.

How is it “Birtherism” to ask why Obama’s bio says he was born in Kenya, when we all know he was really born in Hawaii? How is it “Birtherism” to ask how this “fact-checking error” happened?

It does not have to remain that way if our gutless congresscritters would try to get to the bottom of it and demand an explanation for this puzzle.

They don’t seem to understand nor care that matters of national security may be breached every day that this matter is not resolved.

The democrats totally confused the republicans with Dohbama..
Republicans refuse to speak the raw truth.. they want to so much to be compassionate..

Dohbama is evil to the bone.. nothing nice..
Calling him what he “IS”... sounds like hyperbole..
Republicans want to appear above it all.. makes them look like “fools”..

The first comment I see is this at cBS:


" by moretruthnow May 19, 2012 9:54 PM EDT

Right wing extremist idiots are birthers. You are the pond scum of this country. Just don't know how stupid you really are and how foolish you look to reasonable people. Birthers are the gift of Fox and other hate sources who can't think for themselves. With a mother born in the U.S.A regardless of where Obama was born he would be a U.S. citizen. That is why he is the President of the United States. He was vetted. You lunatics are just off the page moronic."


The dude should change his login name to 'MoreMoronsNow for Obama'. LoL.

It is clear to me. Zer0’s birthplace was Kenya. His dad had to get permission from Hussein Onyango Obama to marry his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham after he found out that she was pregnant. So, Barack Senior and Stanley Ann flew to Kenya to get the permission. Not only was permission denied, but permission was denied to Stanley Ann for the flight back until she had her baby. Thus, Zer0 was born in Kenya. Case closed.

Pretty simple, isn’t it.

You mean like they're leaving no stone unturned in the Fast and Furious debacle? If they won't even go full-bore with that, where hundreds of lives have been lost including those of two of our own agents (RIP Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata), I'm not holding my breath waiting for them to do the right thing on an issue that is an order of magnitude more dire in its implications.

Until they're forced to it. Godspeed, Sheriff Joe!

Everything about this president is an inigma. No one really know who he is, where he came from, how did he get as far as he did without help from secret benefactors. Yet, none of these lamestream media really cares to even look. Yet, these same lamestream media types can find anything and everything concerning any conservative that dares to challenge this MESSIAH. I have an idea that we will never find out anything about this fake Messiah until after the election, should he loose. Then and only then will our politicians be forced to enact needed laws to prevent any of this from happening again.
