MSNBC Reporter Accidentally Claims Obama ‘Is From Kenya’ [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 5 Aug 2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 08/05/2014 5:42:30 PM PDT by mandaladon

MSNBC reporter Chris Jansing claimed President Barack Obama’s keen interest in this week’s African leadership summit stems from the fact that “he’s from Kenya” — an assertion that took over ten minutes for her to reverse.

Jansing spoke to MSNBC’s Joy Reid about the ongoing meeting of American and African leaders in Washington D.C. “The White House is clearly, I would assume, hoping this will be part of the president’s legacy, given his background,” Reid said.

“Yeah, the fact that he’s from Kenya,” Jansing replied breezily. “And the fact that when he was elected there were expectations on the African continent that he would do great things for them.”

The reporter realized her misstatement about ten minutes later. “Yeah, and — and just obviously to clarify, I misspoke at the top — before,” she said. “It is obviously the president’s father who is from Kenya. And you clarified that.”

“But he has a real connection,” Jansing continued. “And there has been a great expectation that great things could happen with this president and the African continent.”

Reid shrugged off the gaffe, but at MSNBC headquarters the rumors must already be swirling. Is Chris Jansing secretly a birther?

Even Kenyan’s are embarrassed by this clown.

Maybe they are now but they used to have "Obama: Kenya's favorite son" signs all around.

You don’t suppose that Jansing is writing a book about how she knew “all along” the baby Obama was born in Kenya?

DNA Tests: how about some DNA tests comparing Obama's dna with his relatives from Kenya, like his half-brother?

1. Of course, Obama will never submit to such DNA tests.

2. Obama's two daughters and possible grandchildren: But in a few years, Obama's two daughters will be on their own.

3. DNA tests: Out of curiosity, the children and grandchildren may be strongly tempted to find out if their roots go back to the Kenyan, or not.

4. My point is this: Maybe they can convince Kenyan relatives sometime in the future, like Obama's half-brothers, to submit to DNA tests so that Obama's two daughters will know once and for all if the Kenyan was really Obama's father, or not.

5. My guess: The DNA teste won't match. The Kenyan is not Obama's father. And then all Hell will break loose.

Even longer than that! When Slick Willie ran in 1996 for reelection he looked at the audience and said something like, “You have to watch out for these politicians who promise you a tax cut when they are running for office.” He was referring to his opponent Bob Dole but Clinton himself campaigned in 1992 promising a middle class tax cut and then turned around and RAISED taxes after his election, then later had the gall to turn around and tell the American people that, “I know you think I raised your taxes too much but it may surprise you to know that I think I raised them too much too.” After the appearance was over Dole turned to someone and asked, “Do you believe that, I thought I was in Disneyworld.” Dole was simply stunned to realize what Slick had done and actually gotten away with it. It was an incredible moment. I think it was at that point when I began to realize just how dimwitted much of the American electorate had become. Slick was actually winning an election by projecting his own duplicity onto his opponent and today the country is full of people who say that Clinton is one of the greatest if not our greatest president. It is astonishing. If this country survives I would not be surprised to see Jefferson removed from Mt. Rushmore and replaced by a plaster image of the first ELECTED president to be impeached.

Freepers are embarrased when people put a comma in a plural rather than a possessive.

When it suits his purpose the Lyin' King is not above claiming to be from Kenya, as when hawking one of his "autobiographies". This from the book's jacket cover:

I don't need to know the truth of where Obama was born (fake birth certificates aside) to know that Obama is a complete fraud.

At some point after he leaves office, Obama, in his arrogance, will publicly admit he was born in Kenya, brag about how he got away with it, and laugh about how there’s nothing anybody can do about it now.

‘At some point after he leaves office, Obama, in his arrogance, will publicly admit he was born in Kenya, brag about how he got away with it’

Absolutely. One of the ways a Malignant Narcissist ‘proves’ he’s smarter than everyone else is by putting one over on those around him. Of course, it isn’t really satisfying unless & until he needles the deceived over how gullible/stupid they are.

So yes, at some point he will definitely admit it.

"You're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith."

So John McCain would have talked about his Christian faith?

And Boehner and McConnell better hope just for fun he doesn't confess that the Republican leadership knew all about his little secret too.
