Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

Sssshhhhhh!!! We don’t want Obama supporters figure out he’s been playing every shell game there is.

Got $12 for that Long Form Birth Certificate, Barry?

What is it that must be hidden, since you’ve assured us there’s nothing to hide?

[markomalley]

Nice bit of research...

[cripplecreek]

D’oh!

[TexasCajun]

O.M.G. !!

[joesjane]

Nice! Any history of obama asking for a retraction? I mean, if the information was false they would have asked right???

[Two Kids' Dad]

There’s an AP tag at the bottom of the article. Can an original AP article be found anywhere? Or is it just this piece? I’d sure love to be able to present a printout that was taken straight from AP’s website to show to people. So far I haven’t been able to find anything.

[F15Eagle]

is that why this Houston-based online newspaper ran this? I don't know that Barry was born in Kenya; just that he's hiding something on that Long Form Birth Certificate (or it's missing something)

[randomhero97]

I’m surprised this article hasn’t been scrubbed yet.

AP must be a bunch’a tea baggin conspiracy theorists.

The idiots.

[Smokeyblue]

Wow!

[PubliusMM]

Ya gotta wonder...where did they get the characterization of him as “Kenyan born”? From the candidate, himself? His staff? Prior records?

Bears some lookin’ into, I’d say.

Keep the heat on him. The truth will come out.

[dandiegirl]

Where the he** has this been! O.M.G. is right!!

[Kickass Conservative]

If I wanted a Kenyan President, I would move to Kenya and vote for one.

[Two Kids' Dad]

The Yahoo search function only had this link:

archive.wn.com/2004/06/28/1400/kenya

Not what I’d consider the best of sources.

[Electric Graffiti]

Kenyan born??

But...but I’ve seen his online COLB. It states clearly he was born in Hawaii. /s

[Red in Blue PA]

Excellent catch!

AP signature too.

LOL.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

This can't possibly be true. BO was vetted by the press, the DNC and congress. Looks to me like you are just one of those crazy birther people. (/sarcasm)

ps, nice find. Kudos to you.

I’m probably revealing my ignorance, but what is web.archive.org. Who runs it?

[Moe Tzadik]

Outstanding!

[JoeA]

This is HUGH!!!!

I'm Series!!!

[Cicero]

OK. It’s the WaybackMachine. Sorry for the query.

Interesting! Those who point to the birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper as “proof” of his birthplace now have to explain why a newspaper story is a poor piece of evidence.

Someone grab the screen shot, pronto!

My gut reaction to all this is that the real issue is who Obama’s biological father is. The fact that it might be a US citizen - thus making Obama eligible for the office but a liar with respect to his vaulted “life story” - supremely ironic.

But maybe I'm just a frustrated fiction writer. The release of one document could prove my speculation wrong, though.

[TexasCajun]

I feel for him actually," Obama told a Chicago TV station. "What he’s gone through over the last three days I think is something you wouldn’t wish on anybody."

So said Larry Sinclair.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Boy, someone’s gonna be all we weed up...

[WhirlwindAttack]

Excellent.

[cvq3842]

PS The source site has to be verified also, of course. even though Obama’s COLB apparently does not. :)

[elpinta]

“Someone grab the screen shot, pronto!”
Got it.

[CitizenM]

Really good research!

Since everything else in the article appears to be a truthful report, one would assume calling Obama a Kenyan is also. After all there was even a comment from Barack included. And we know...Newspapers never lie.(/sarc) Well, at least we can sure hope not this time. This could be hugh and series.

[EternalVigilance]

EXCELLENT.

[Red in Blue PA]

Someone grab the screen shot, pronto!

And the URL along with it!

[Domandred]

Oh dang that hasn’t been scrubbed?

[Fu-fu2]

Check Jack Ryan’s info on Wikipedia. What the Obama people did to him, with the help of the Chicago media, was suspect. The Democrat who ran against Obama in the primary got similar treatment. I believe the Obama presidential run was in the works years in advance.

HOLY CRAP IS THIS FOR REAL?

[papasmurf]

It is an Kenyan newspaper, AP is maybe (a guess) African Press.

[444Flyer]

Ping.

(shhhh.. Don’t tell Loren C...)

[Red in Blue PA]

The web archive is the offcial archive of the internet.

Looks legit.

IMO, this shouldn’t be in “bloggers.”
