London Mayor Rips ‘Kenyan’ Obama: ‘Ancestral Dislike for Brit Empire’

Johnson revives claims of ‘president’s ancestral dislike of the British empire’

(The Guardian) – The shadow chancellor has accused Boris Johnson of dog-whistle racism for writing an article in which the London mayor quoted claims that Barack Obama’s “part-Kenyan” heritage had driven him towards anti-British sentiment.

John McDonnell joined fellow Labour MPs Yvette Cooper and Chuka Umunna in questioning Johnson’s judgment in referring to the president’s ancestry in an article for the Sun newspaper.

“Mask slips again. Boris part-Kenyan Obama comment is yet another example of dog-whistle racism from senior Tories. He should withdraw it,” McDonnell tweeted.

SPECIAL: Send an IMPEACH OBAMA fax, an IMPEACH OBAMA petition, and a PINK SLIP WARNING to every member of Congress—all 535 members of the House and Senate—for a donation of just $50 or more.

Johnson, a high-profile figure in the campaign for Britain to leave the EU, wrote about the decision of the Obama administration to remove a bust of Britain’s wartime leader Winston Churchill from the Oval Office.

“Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender,” said Johnson in an article designed to hit back at Obama after the US president waded into the EU referendum debate on Friday.

The mayor and Tory MP said Obama’s country would “not dream of embroiling itself” in anything similar to the EU, which he said was inching towards a federal superstate.

Cooper told the Guardian: “As ever, it’s more bad judgment from Boris Johnson. Is this really how a man who wants to be prime minister should be talking about the president of the United States?”

Umunna tweeted: “These Tory mayoral types are beyond the pale.” He said the Conservative mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith had played on his opponent Sadiq Khan’s Muslim heritage, repeatedly attacking Khan for having shared a platform with a man who has been accused of extremist views.

Churchill’s grandson Nicholas Soames, a Conservative MP backing the remain campaign, called Johnson’s article “appalling” and said it was “inconceivable” that the wartime leader would not have welcomed Obama’s views.

He said Johnson was “unreliable and idle about the facts”, claiming there was still a Churchill bust inside the White House.

The prime minister’s spokeswoman said the decision to remove the Churchill bust was taken before Obama took office.

Bust story debunked

Ted Cruz, the Republican senator who is locked in a battle with Donald Trump to become their party’s nominee for the presidential election, made a similar claim last year, saying Obama was responsible for removing the bust. The claim wasdebunked by the Washington Post, which concluded after a detailed investigation that the bust had been returned to the British embassy in Washington before Obama took office.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage told the US president to “butt” out of intervening in the UK’s referendum on EU membership.

Attacking the president’s intervention in support of the ‘Remain’ side at the outset of a visit to the UK, Farage said said that he took Obama’s description of himself as a friend of the UK “with a pretty large pinch of salt.”

“Look, I know his family’s background. Kenya. Colonialism. There is clearly something going on there,” he added. “It’s just that you know people emerge from colonialism with different views of the Britsh. Some thought that they were really rather benign and rather good, and others saw them as foreign invaders. Obama’s family come from that second school of thought and it hasn’t quite left him yet.”

Obama made an emotional plea to the British public to “stick together” with the rest of the European Union as he arrived in the UK to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. In an article for the Daily Telegraph, Obama argued that Britain’s influence in the world was magnified by its membership of the EU.

“As citizens of the United Kingdom take stock of their relationship with the EU, you should be proud that the EU has helped spread British values and practices – democracy, the rule of law, open markets – across the continent and to its periphery,” he wrote.

KEYWORDS:
Obama is a mere hairball who has cheated his way to the highest position in the world, and he's still not satisfied. He hates all of Western Civilization and all that is connected to it--- white skin, bravery/sacrifice/truth/equality at birth, law and order, Christianity, Freedom of Speech, Constitutional Rights, We can all now conclude that President Coconut Head hates himself.

He is clueless in respect to foreign relations and policy , like his appointee, Hillary the Diplomat, who now is limping along to candidacy for president. Really?

This empty walnut shell of a skull is so devoid of anything remotely resembling diplomacy. She is, in effect, not even qualified to bake cookies.

It's fascinating to watch Hessie bow and kiss the hand of the head Saudi Arabia, a nation that trained and supplied the Kamikazes who flew planes into the twin towers and are now resting on the ample breasts of one of the 72 virgins assigned to dead murderers.

Meanwhile, Hussein has lopped off a third of our missile defenses while observing that China is readying multiple warhead missiles all aimed at America cities, while Russia is doing the same. Yet, Hussie is busy fighting the cable companies and is in a state of apoplexy over the junk science that defines Gorebal Warming.

We are in trouble of stumbling around until we collapse dead of radiation poisoning because Hessie, hunkered down in a cozy bunker with members of our one party system and couldn't care less.

Bravo for the Brit! He says what the cowardly U.S> politicians and press won’t say. We knew what Obama’s problem was when the first thing he did when entering the Oval Office was to remove the bust of Churchill and give it back to the English.

His Communist mother and grandparents brought him up to hate the British, and that apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Beware of his daughters in the future.

Darned lazy Brits, we wouldn’t have these troubles if they had properly cleaned out the Mau Mau rebellion.

I think we actually did embroil ourselves with something like the EU and we're not very happy with what it's become. It's becoming a multi-ethnic tribal hole in the ground, which will become our own charnel pit if politicians keep stoking racial hatred for political gain.

Your average Brit doesn’t like Americans telling him what to do.

Looks like he has really pissed off the Brits with all this.

Hope they don’t ever let up on his Kenyan rear end.

They might discover something that our media won’t reveal about their historic first foreigner president.

It was payback, emerging from his Kenyan loyalties, which is why the founders insisted on someone who could have no foreign loyalties because they were born here of citizen parents. Naturally a US citizen because they could be no other.

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British Subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible

It isn’t just the “Brit Empire.” Kenyans, especially Kenyan Marxists, HATE EVERYBODY. Obonzo has proven that.

Didn't Obama return the Churchill bust back to the British Embassy?

"Born here of citizen parents."

Ah! But in the days of The Founders, one knew who was one's father and the requirement made sense. Does The Won know?

He says it is the Kenyan, but he more resembles Frank Marshal Davis.
In which case, if true, he would be a natural born citizen if he was indeed born in HI.
