Obama's Muslim Childhood

Barack Obama has come out swinging against his Republican rival, sponsoring television advertisements that ask, "What is Mitt Romney hiding?" The allusion is to such relatively minor matters as Romney's prior tax returns, the date he stopped working for Bain Capital, and the non-public records from his service heading the Salt Lake City Olympics and as governor of Massachusetts. Obama defended his demands that Romney release more information about himself, declaring in Aug. 2012 that "The American people have assumed that if you want to be president of the United States that your life's an open book when it comes to things like your finances." Liberals like Paul Krugman of the New York Times enthusiastically endorse this focus on Mitt Romney's personal history.

If Obama and his supporters wish to focus on biography, of course, this is a game two can play. Already, the temperate, mild-mannered Romney criticized Obama's reelection campaign as "based on falsehood and dishonesty" and a television ad went further, asserting that Obama "doesn't tell the truth."

A focus on openness and honesty are likely to hurt Obama far more than Romney. Obama remains the mystery candidate with an autobiography full of gaps and even fabrications. For example, to sell his autobiography in 1991, Obama falsely claimed that he "was born in Kenya." He lied about never having been a member and candidate of the 1990s Chicago socialist New Party; and when Stanley Kurtz produced evidence to establish that he was a member, Obama's flacks smeared and dismissed Kurtz. Obama's 1995 autobiography, Dreams from My Father, contains a torrent of inaccuracies and falsehoods about his maternal grandfather, his father, his mother, his parents' wedding, his stepfather's father, his high school friend, his girlfriend, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. As historian Victor Davis Hanson puts it, "If a writer will fabricate the details about his own mother's terminal illness and quest for insurance, then he will probably fudge on anything." Into this larger pattern of mendacity about his past life arises the question of Obama's discussion of his faith, perhaps the most singular and outrageous of his lies.

Click the link to read a very good article if you missed it before. In 1991 he claimed Kenyan birth to sell his autobiography.

If he was born in Africa and no citizenship papers can be found then he is not African-America, he’s just African.

Barry is either Indonesian or Saudi. I think we have yet to learn the truth about his roots. I don’t think BHO senior is his father. I’m not so sure Stanley Ann Dunham is his real mother, either.

Obama’s a halfrican mozloid.

Descendant of man stealers, slave traders and genocidal mass murderers.

Sympathizer of fanatical islamic causes and the tyrants they spawn.

Hater of Jews and Christians.

Associate of murderers, bombers, America haters, and communist revolutionaries.

The most unfit, unqualified person to ever hold the office of POTUS or even of US Senator.

The only reason I think that woman is his mother is that he looks a lot like her. Looks nothing like BO sr.

Yes, his features appear more Javanese than Negroid. I recently viewed a documentary on the Indonesians and was struck by the resemblance of many of them to obama.

Photo of the ring he has worn on his wedding finger for more than 20 years - it says in Arabic ''there is no god but allah'' ....

Real father = Satan; real mother = Harlot spoken of in Revelation

MI6 knows this. Do a Google search. They told Giuliani and hitlary before the first election.
They also think his mother isn’t his mother too. They got his DNA off a glass. And now they practically guard his utensils.

Pipes is npot someone we can just blow off. He is meticulous and doesn’t make statements that are not ironclad.

“open book”
Republicans are asked to reveal all. Their past is investigated mercilessly. All allegations are believed.

For marxists, all potential problems are deliberately hidden. Embarassing questions are not asked. Known and proven facts are supressed.

The ring he wears is actually a coiled snake ring not Arabic writing. Which would mean that the all important ring he wears signifies his allegiance to the devil and not islam.

hen he is not African-America, he’s just African.

Strangely enough that is what his purported birth certificate says as well. Race= African.

I’ve seen that one, too. Good cause for pause I will say.
