I wonder what the social or financial benefit would have been for him to claim he was born in Kenya? Is there a Kenyan accent?
My husband was going to a speech therapist recently. She is a black native Kenyan. She speaks very proper English and she said they teach English in the schools.
Donald Trump for Vice President!
Affirmative action.. Hey, got him elected didn’t it? Allows him to destroy, unchecked, our free-market, capitalist republic doesn’t it?

Foreign student preference. It got him into Harvard and Columbia.
Study his family and his connections through his father to many *big* people in Africa. Coming into Chicago and the connections he was making there would give him instant *cred* as being part of the *black power* movement. It would also give him a little *cred* as far as understanding Islam (see the NOI, and the El Rukn gang - even if that is a TOTAL bastardization of Islam in the realest sense).
LOTS of reasons for him to be truthful back then... TONS of reasons for him to lie now, and frankly, many reasons for his backers like Ayers to WANT there to be a way to *back out* and act all shocked that they were *lied* to by this man. (Look back at the end of the Soviet Union, and witness how Communists, etc... do away with their leaders when they become more hurtful to their agenda than harmful).
All, JMHO. I think he may have been planning to say he was lied to by his family, but didn’t realize how truly intelligent the people of the US are, or that we wouldn’t *forgive* him for a breach of the Constitution like this...
The fact that no matter how many times he (and some Republicans) tries to make this go away, or paint us all as “kooks” the taller we stand. It’s what Hirohito was afraid of - and what ANY enemy of the US should STILL be frightened of. It may take us a while to rally support and clear up the BS, but you can be dang sure we will NEVER SURRENDER - and that’s what has Obama and his team so scared.
