Obama bio further confuses birth issue
WND.com ^ | June 21, 2012 | Jack Cashill

Understandably, the publishers of David Maraniss’ much discussed new biography, “Barack Obama: The Story,” released advanced copies to mainstream reviewers. (Full disclosure here, Simon & Schuster also published my book “Deconstructing Obama.”)

Spinning Maraniss’ revelations as favorably as they could, at least a few reviewers claimed that his book would at least put the birther issue to rest given his interviews with the health professionals attending the birth.

In fact, the Maraniss book does quite the opposite. Although I remain agnostic about the where and when of Obama’s birth, Maraniss’ account makes me all the more suspicious of the official Obama narrative.

As I wrote yesterday, Maraniss, like all other mainstream biographers, tells us not a single word about the life of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, in the six months leading up to Obama’s birth.

In discussing the birth itself, Maraniss reports that Obama was born at 7:24 in the evening of Aug. 4, 1961 at Kapi’olani Hospital. As reference, he cites “State of Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth,” presumably the one posted online in April 2011.

Although his book is otherwise exquisitely detailed, Maraniss adds not a single shred of information regarding the circumstances of Obama’s birth. The reader has no idea how Ann got to the hospital, who accompanied her, how difficult was the labor, how big was the baby, who took her home, or where she went when she left the hospital.

Maraniss strongly suggests, however, that Ann did not return to the house her parents were sharing with the Pratt family at 6085 Kalanianole, the address listed on the certificate and in the newspaper announcements. The Pratt daughter, he reports, “has no memory of the Dunhams’ daughter bringing an infant home.”

Maraniss repeatedly stresses that Barack Obama Sr. did not at any time live with Ann

Obama’s mother really was Maria Scianna

Obama could clear it up in a New York Minute by having Kapiolani release documents confirming his birth there.
He is being purposely obstinate, or knows that he was not born there.

One way or the other, he is like Esav— he despises his alleged birthright. If he ever had one, he sold it for a bowl of whatever would $u$tain him at the time.

Thanks for the ping.

We’ll get to the bottom of this eventually.

When is Sheriff Joe’s press conference?

>> Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN <<

Wrong, wrong, wrong. His biological father, Frank Marshall Davis, was definitely a U. S. citizen when little Barry was born.

Where are the photos of proud Stanley Dunham with her newborn in swaddling clothes? I’d wager they aren’t shown in public because you won’t see Hawaiian palm trees outside the hospital window, or Barack Sr. posing with his “wife” and child.

Most excelent observation, wish I had thought of that.

Obama is just an actor in a global version of Total Recall, and we are the ones at Recall.

His past was sanitized so as to be accepted as truth. He had a literal army of domestic communists working on ferreting every inch of his past and then using internet creative cut and paste passed it off as true factual documentation.

The internet is Obamas Total recall. Real hard copy facts from other countries are about the only trusted source, the lie has to grow bigger and bigger in order to be firmly accepted as the truth.

"...there’s a press conference in three or four weeks,” he said.

County refuses funds for Sheriff Joe's Obama probe

http://www.wnd.com/2012/06/county-refuses-funds-for-sheriff-joes-obama-probe/

In a move described by Sheriff Joe Arpaio as political payback, the Maricopa County, Ariz., Board of Supervisors today rejected a $5,000 reimbursement from the sheriff’s volunteer Cold Case Posse for expenses incurred on a trip to Hawaii to investigate Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility.

“It’s sad that they use these politics to reject money,” Arpaio told WND. “I made the promise when I launched the investigation to do everything I can to not use taxpayer money.”

He confirmed his Cold Case Posse team would not be deterred by any disagreement over a donation, however.

If they want to know what’s going on, there’s a press conference in three or four weeks,” he said.

“This is a criminal investigation,” Arpaio asserted. “You cannot have the board of supervisors interfere with the elected sheriff’s duties and responsibilities that he gets from the Constitution.”

The expenses incurred by the county were for a deputy who accompanied Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo for security purposes.

This has been hashed out to atoms numerous times. Look at it this way - there is not one atom of evidence - paper, electronic, photographic, witnessed or any other kind that shows Stanley Ann D or her parents in 0mugabe’s presence until he’s at least 2, or around 3. Not a place of residence, not a photo of mom/grandparents and baby, not a rent receipt, eyewitness (other than Blake’s which is manufactured), nurse, doc, hospital record, real b.c., nothing.

Au contraire, all “evidence” is forged, lied about, fraudulent, etc. If they had a scrap of evidence, they’d have shown it to us.

Not due to lack of palm trees, due to the fact she wasn’t present at his birth.

Obama is a bad actor. Its likely that all of the smoke and mirrors over the birth cert is just a distraction to hide a criminal record.

Well, that’s true, an absence of early photos. But he looks more like her and her father than I do to either of my parents, and I have photos of myself as a newborn with them.

“What stops me is the thought that surely many many other people must have already tried it and if so they must not have found anything. If they did, we’d have heard something by now.”
