Who Is Obama?
American Thinker.com ^ | April 24, 2017 | David Solway

Posted on 04/24/2017 11:01:22 AM PDT by Kaslin

Ex-President Barack Obama is the mystery man of American politics. Given the absence of a viable paper trail, nobody can say for sure who he is. He manifests for us as a figure of multiple identities: a Christian, a Muslim, a secularist, a socialist, a humanist, an intellectual, a man of the people. His lack of definable substance, his inner absence, has been an important political advantage. As Obama himself confessed (or boasted) in The Audacity of Hope, this layering of anonymities enabled him to “serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”

Obama’s enigmatic personae and antecedents are an issue most people are reluctant to pursue, whether out of mere indifference, partisan allegiance or fear of ridicule. Even though he represents one of the most pivotal moments in American history, which saw a polarizing cipher with a neo-Marxist blueprint reduce the country to a social, political and economic shambles, Obama doesn’t get much traction in the news these days. Few wish to investigate his shadowy heritage, to confront the ongoing implications of the debacle he was instrumental in causing or to pursue its resolution. The unwillingness to grapple with what Obama signifies -- in fact, personifies -- is a sign of the failure of political will, a tendency to allow a crucial feature of national existence to subside beneath the welter of current events. “Nothing to see here,” seems to be the consensus, “time to move on.”

Given the absence of a viable paper trail

The paper trail was blotted out on purpose.

Why an individual with that kind of "background" can be elected President when he couldn't even get through a USGov NACI is utterly unknown and beyond belief.

(hat tip Kenya Sunday Standard)

DID PRESIDENT OBAMA ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING FOR HIS HOMELAND?

<><> 2 billion US tax dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million US tax dollars to his tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> Total US Foreign Aid to Kenya (FY 2012): $749,236,440

<><> $418M arms sale to Kenya

-============================================

(FR Posted by RobinMasters)

A Kenyan lawmaker told the nation's Parliament last month (March 2010) that Barack Obama was born in Africa and is therefore "not even a native American."

During debate over the draft of a new Kenyan constitution, James Orengo, the country's minister of lands and a member of parliament for the Ugenya constituency, cited America's election of a Kenyan-born president as an example of what can be accomplished when diverse peoples unite:

"If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation," Orengo posited, "how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the president of America?"

Orengo held up the U.S. as a country no longer "living in the past," since Americans elected a Kenyan-born president without regard to "ethnic consideration and objectives."

Debate is then recorded in the Kenyan government's official March 25, 2010, hansard – a traditional name for printed transcripts of a parliamentary debate – as continuing with no other MPs mentioning or attempting to correct Orengo's comments about Obama. (Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...

Obama is merely an empty vessel, discovered probably sometime shortly before his college days and put on the fast track to political success by one or more unknown individuals. Maybe Soros, maybe through Communist Party USA contacts, maybe through Ayres, maybe a combination. We’ll never know for certain. They saw something about him that would work politically to get him to the presidency. Of course, they greased the rails for him every step of the way. It’s obvious that this happened even though we don’t have the details.

The Kenyanesian Usurper was enabled by the Uniparty to undermine the protections of the natural born citizen clause.
BOTH parties wanted to run ineligible candidates.

The greatest fraud ever perpetrated against the United States.

He should have been immediately arrested on his return.

But, but... Trump is ineligible because he won’t show his tax returns.

If I was to say who (or what) Obama is, my Navy sailor mouth would get me banned.

So I say nothing.

How long has all of his “paper”history been sealed, or was it destroyed? I’ve read he is a man with many social security numbers.

The democrats counted on the mass media and people afraid of losing their freebies, plus our “over” educated ones who still feel guilty of slavery days 300 years ago. Actually lots and lots of people actually thought and still think they are receiving money from him. Beats me.

“Obama is merely an empty vessel”

Now that he’s out of office, there should be a lot of investigating into his past because a lot of people would still like to know “the truth”.
