President Obama and his family are about to embark on a weeklong trip to Africa this week, which includes stops in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. The trip has garnered significant media attention—not because of the president’s agenda while there—but for its excessive cost, which some say could range from $60 to $100 million.
Yahoo! News’ story on the cost of Obama’s trip is drawing attention for others reasons, however.
Things got pretty awkward for news website, Yahoo! News, after an article published by a White House reporter Friday called Kenya President Obama’s ‘country of birth.’
The article, written by Rachel Rose Hartman, spoke of the Obama family’s upcoming visit to Africa, which is expected to take place on June 26th to July 3rd. Hartman mentioned that the President will not be stopping in his country of birth which — apparently to the writer — is Kenya.
Yahoo! News later issued a correction to the article, stating that the story had mistakenly identified the president’s country of birth. And in an attempt to remedy the situation, the website changed the statement from saying the president’s ‘country of birth’ to his ‘ancestral homeland’, which admittedly is not much better.

“well...Obots are on FR attackin us like crazy”
Always a good sign.
It is irksome, though, that a person w the word ‘logic’ in their screenname wd make an entirely illogical comment. Only mildly irksome, but irksome nonetheless.

Lol. That’s an apt way to put it. A lot more people know the truth than most suspect.
I am planning on writing a book called: Lying SOS.
It likely will exceed the size of our largest encyclopedia once all of ( )o( )bama’s lies are fully documented. May take forever to complete unless I annually release update volumes with all the new lie material.
By the way, a truth volume may not cover 1 page.
Be careful visiting a yahoo article.
Ø paid trolls in the comment section. They truly are retarded.
Many thanks again for that screencapture!!!!!
Not so much anymore. I think OFA has really cut back.
But, there was at least one. And he had his hands full.
