Is Barack Obama an Indonesian Citizen?
On Sunday, I received an email from An Expat in Southeast Asia, Larry Martin.
He wrote this:
Obama is Indonesian.
My sources claim that he was adopted and that the Indonesian government is aware of this - so are Obamas people who cut a deal with the Indonesian government to have the records suppressed.

It would be interesting to learn what he did find out.
Let me cut to the chase: if it was revealed that John McCain was adopted by a Panamanian, then returned to the states and assumed his birth name and citizenship, but then traveled on a Panamanian passport after the age of 18 -- and took steps to conceal those facts would anyone not accuse him of deception?
And if American Expat is correct, and the Congressman from American Samoa did make a deal with the Indonesian president in return for suppression of Obama's Indonesian records, would you not consider that deception?
What has Obama concealed? What proof do you have that Obama held an Indonesian passport? If you have such evidence, when did he obtain it, i.e., prior to his first trip to Indonesia at age 6? How do you know he traveled on an Indonesian passport after age 18? How did he get back into the US with his Indonesian passport? Did he acquire a student visa? When did he acquire his US passport?
You are making a host of unsubstantiated allegations and assumptions. What we do know for a fact is that Obama currently holds a US passport, which required him to provide proof of citizenship.
And if American Expat is correct, and the Congressman from American Samoa did make a deal with the Indonesian president in return for suppression of Obama's Indonesian records, would you not consider that deception?
Yes, if that really did happen. I guess the seriousness of the charge outweighs the facts.
Good try. You might notice that I've used the word "if" consistently -- as in, "if" the media wasn't in the tank for Obama, the contradictions in his biography concerning Indonesia,including, but not limited to, never mentioning until recently that he traveled there, and on to Pakistan, in 1981, should have been a subject for intense scrutiny.
It hasn't, and there are many people who consider even speculation on the subject to be some form of irrational behavior, or to use your terminology, "baseless charges" -- even when they remain speculation.
I never used the term "baseless charges." My point is that you can make up all kinds of things without any real evidence. The NYT did it by insinuating that McCain had an affair with a lobbyist. It was reprehensible.
Obama's travel to Indonesia in 1981 to visit his mother and then onwards to Pakistan with his roommate has come under scrutiny--at least by the alternative media. I have no idea if Obama has been questioned directly by the MSM about the trip. If you are going to charge or suggest that he was engaged in some sinister activities or that he travelled on an Indonesian passport, you should provide some proof. I do know that if he tried to enter the US on an Indonesian passport, he would need a non-immigrant visa.
Doesn't every family? I can only imagine the hoops my ancestors jumped through to make sure I could be president when I grew up. Alas, I seem to have disappointed them.
There's really no need to be nasty about it. It's still hearsay at this point, as the "disclaimer" admits:
DISCLAIMER: I am reporting information from a third party, and have no independent collaboration [sic] or documentation of such claims.
And you know this one wasn't photoshopped because....?
A little like saying you are not convinced terrorists took down the WTC towers on 9/11.
Funny you should mention that. Phil Berg, the guy suing Obama for his birth certificate? He's one of the biggest 9/11 conspiracy nuts out there.
You can't claim something is false if it has already been proven otherwise.
If that's so then why are we having threads like these? Everybody is claiming Obama wasn't born in the U.S. and nobody is offering any proof.
Is line 2, place of birth? Honolulu?
Once again, you use the word "charge" -- I have phrased everything as a question, and in the normal course of discussion, questions don't require proof (they wouldn't be questions otherwise).
You appear threatened by even the discussion of possibilities in this case, and tracking back, in your first response, you felt it necessary to cut and paste regs on dual citizenship, even though I hadn't mentioned it. Your responses to me, and others, are quite interesting, actually, and highly suggestive -- oops! I used the word suggestive, for which you require proof! I think I've got the hang of it now, but I'm not playing anymore, since I've things to do.
This is very hard to read. What exactly is this document? Adoption? School record?
Believe me, I so much want this to be true. But knowing the Clintons, who care about no one but themselves, they would be whacking and threatening and intimidating and bribing anyone and everyone to get the proof. Does she have it and is waiting until the end of October?
What nation’s passport does he travel on today?
That’s right, change the subject and attack the messenger. Unless you have facts, I can’t take anything you assert seriously.
Im expecting that U.S. Congressman Eni Faleomavaega is going to deny all - but he will be confronted with the truth
this is getting deeper and deeper - many others are involved as well - and I will name them all
ensure all are pinged please
How about we know a freeper who has been investigating this for months....who lives there.
We need to nail this marxist fraud. Thanks for doing what you are doing.
School registration from his school in Indonesia.
Thanks, pissant.
Pinging everyone to a bunch of stuff. Not to worry; I’m having a hard time keeping up, too.
The problem is that the public isn’t learning the truth about a man who may be elected President.

#18 “...be aware that Obama has been practising at making foreign relations deals even before his trip to the ME and Europe. Such as promising he wont go after Indonesia on the Papau situation (persecuting Christians) if they lose all pertinent documents involving himself.
“Before, I believed he was telling the truth about being a converted Christian but now know that is all baseless. He is a Muslim.
“His college roommates, on campus and off campus, were all Muslim. That was by Obamas choice.
“Recently he referred to dogs and pigs as unclean. Wow! Was that ever a dead give away! And he and Michelle said that they never give gifts to their daughters - a Muslim practice.”

#7 “Obama and the DNC are being sued to produce his vault copy Birth Certificate. The Senator is refusing BECAUSE he was adopted, his adopted name is Barry Soetoro, and he is an Indonesian citizen who, as an adult, swore allegience to Indonesia so he could travel in 1981, on an Indonesian passport, to Pakistan.”
