Is Michelle Obama a Birther?

The question has to be asked, now that a second YouTube video has surfaced in which Michelle Obama refers to her husband as a Kenyan.

In a rather whiny harangue during a fundraiser in Tampa in December 2007, in which she discussed how hard it was for her and her husband to pay off student loans from "good schools," Michelle Obama said the following:

"What it reminded me of was our trip to Africa, two years ago, and the level of excitement that we felt in that country - the hope that people saw just in the sheer presence of somebody like Barack Obama - a Kenyan, a black man, a man of great statesmanship who they believe could change the fate of the world."

See it here:

This video joins a previously noted video in which she refers to her husband's "home country in Kenya."

Whatever the facts of his birthplace, it is clear that Michelle Obama thinks of her husband as a Kenyan.

a birth announcement in a local paper doesn’t (necessarily) mean a birth in that city

True. While my grandmother was alive, I sent announcements to the weekly paper in her hometown so that everyone would know she had another great-grandchild.

I carry these clips on my laptop.......When I go out in public, I PLAY THEM..........Two thirds of the public are CLUELESS, but I have made conversions.

Michelle, in here own words, SPREAD THE WORDS!

Michelle Obama refers to her husband as a Kenyan

He IS a Kenyan, but that doesn't necessarily mean he had to be born there. Kenya is just where his ancestors (on his father's side) are from.

There was also a reference to Obama as “Kenyan-born” in the NPR archives, but I don’t have the link handy.

Go sell crazy somewhere else please.

What’s crazy about my statement? Looks like you’re the one who’s crazy.

[manc]

the fact is that he has not shown his B/C, he refuses to show it and his wife has even said Kenya is his homoeland and he is Kenyan

what more frigging proof does this lame stream media need

However in this case, both Honolulu newspapers say that they have never accepted birth announcements from family members or friends. They say that they get their birth, marriage and death information directly from the health department.
Take a look at the Honolulu Advertiser’s August 13, 1961 announcements which includes the Obama birth, its under the heading “Health Bureau Statistics:”

That’s fine, too. I was responding only to the one point.

Some SoSs will demand proof for eligibility and if the GOP grows some stones by '12, they could run a naturalized American against him. Should this candidate be refused a place on the ballots, as he/she isn't a NBC, he/she will have standing to sue for ALL candidates to prove eligibility.

Whoa dude. You just made me think of a particular governor.

obumpa

[melancholy]

Whoa dude. You just made me think of a particular governor.

You got that right!

The perfect candidate for this purpose would be an accented naturalized American.

If Arnold were a real conservative, he would have been perfect to effect 0bagger's eviction!

I am so disgusted with the MSM, they have covered for their messiah since he came on the scene back at the Dem convention.

Also know as the fourth estate, or more correctly now the fifth column!!!
