EXCLUSIVE: Harvard University Speaks Out On Obama Sr.’s Immigration File
JSN & Independent ^ | April 28, 2011 | Heather Smathers

– LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. – Harvard University officials are speaking out on the release of the immigration file on Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.

Documents uncovered through a Freedom of Information Act request to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, show that Harvard University officials worked with the INS to deny Obama’s student visa extension.

An INS investigator, M.F. McKeon, wrote on June 8, 1964: “They (Harvard officials) weren’t very impressed with him and asked us to hold up action on his application until they decided what action they could take in order to get rid of him. They were apparently having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn’t seem to figure out how many wives he had.” Another memo by McKeon, dated May 19, 1964, says: “OBAMA has passed his general exams, which indicates on academic grounds he is entitled to stay around here and write his thesis; however, they are going to try to cook something up to ease him out. All three will have to agree to this, however. They are planning on telling him that they will not give him any money, and that he’d better return to Kenya and prepare his thesis at home.” Jeff Neal, a spokesman for Harvard University, disputed those allegations.

“While we cannot verify accounts of conversations that occurred nearly 50 years ago, a review of our existing files did not find any support for either the language or the implied intent described by the U.S. government official in the government documents,” Neal said.

Neal said that university documents predating the INS file, which was compiled between 1961 and 1965, indicate “the University’s Center for International Affairs faced serious constraints in providing financial support for research by international graduate students in Cambridge, and that these students were required to secure and demonstrate independent and sufficient sources of funding in order to remain on campus.”

Documents show Obama, Sr. was denied an extension of his student visa in July, 1964 and subsequently returned to Kenya. In 1965, Obama, Sr. attempted to return to the United States.

The INS file includes a letter from Harvard Registrar Robert Shenton written to Obama, Sr., on Nov. 16, 1965, that says the elder Obama had not registered his thesis title with the Department of Economics and therefore the university did not authorize his I-20, a document issued by a college for a student so that the student may obtain a student visa, for his return to the country.

“Under the circumstances, I could not consider issuing an I-20 to you until the following steps have been completed and the Economics Department approves your return,” Shenton wrote.

The steps required of Obama, Sr., included informing the Economics Department of the thesis title; informing the department of the status of his thesis; and sending the department any completed pages of the document. Neal said the university would confirm that Obama, Sr. was a student at Harvard from 1962-1964, and earned a Master’s degree in Economics.

Multiple attempts to get comment from the White House press office have not been returned.

Interesting the dates at Harvard match up with the dates he was married to Stanley.

Baby Barack’s parents separated when he was 2 years old, while his father may have been claiming he was married, that ship had sailed (and he was guilty of bigamy so the marriage was null and void anyway).

3 months pregnant when they got married. He’s a nonresident alien from Kenya. They’re married for less than 3 years during which time they didn’t even live together. He was already married to someone in Kenya at the time of the marriage. She turns around and marries an Indonesian who promptly leaves for Indonesia while she stays in Hawaii finally reuniting a few years later where she raises Barack Obama II in Indonesia and ultimately divorces Lolo Soetero because she doesn’t want to return to America and he does. Meanwhile Obama is raised by grandparents in Hawaii we are told although Obama and his lawyers have declined to release and school records that would confirm his enrollment or his enrollment as a US citizen. Nope, there’s nothing odd about this situation at all. It’s as American as apple pie. Just your typical American family obviously. You would have to be crazy to have any questions about any of this.

Tell me this Barak Obama (sic) II isn't the most sordid, pathetic puddle of cat vomit ever to unjustly occupy the Oval Office.

The creepiest family history ever with his childhood poems about Frank Marshall's skivvy stains and his whoring mother and chronic alcoholic daddy.

I need a shower just thinking about it.

Shame on us.

But yes, the current pRESIDENT is an utter disgrace; not to mention THE worst president in the history of this nation, a nation he and his horde are quickly ruining beyond measure. He also isn't qualified to BE president!

Obama Sr. may have paid Obama’s mother to marry him so as to get a green card.

It sounds like child abuse to me.

“Pop”

Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken
In, sprinkled with ashes,
Pop switches channels, takes another
Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks
What to do with me, a green young man
Who fails to consider the
Flim and flam of the world, since
Things have been easy for me;
I stare hard at his face, a stare
That deflects off his brow;
I’m sure he’s unaware of his
Dark, watery eyes, that
Glance in different directions,
And his slow, unwelcome twitches,
Fail to pass.
I listen, nod,
Listen, open, till I cling to his pale,
Beige T-shirt, yelling,
Yelling in his ears, that hang
With heavy lobes, but he’s still telling
His joke, so I ask why
He’s so unhappy, to which he replies...
But I don’t care anymore, cause
He took too damn long, and from
Under my seat, I pull out the
Mirror I’ve been saving; I’m laughing,
Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face
To mine, as he grows small,
A spot in my brain, something
That may be squeezed out, like a
Watermelon seed between
Two fingers.
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine, and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem
He wrote before his mother died,
Stands, shouts, and asks
For a hug, as I shink, my
Arms barely reaching around
His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; ‘cause
I see my face, framed within
Pop’s black-framed glasses
And know he’s laughing too.
