Senate committee calls for Obama statue in his birth state
West Hawaii Today ^ | March 27 , 2018 | Audrey McAvoy

Posted on 03/28/2018 1:50:01 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

A state Senate committee on Tuesday called for a statue of former President Barack Obama to be erected in the state where he was born.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously for a resolution requesting that the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts commission the statue.

Obama was born in Honolulu in 1961 and graduated from Punahou School on Oahu.

The resolution will be referred to the state Senate’s Ways and Means committee for consideration.

The resolution called for an art advisory committee to be formed that would select a location for the statue, review design proposals and select an artist.

It did not specify how the statue would be funded.

The resolution said the U.S. thrived under Obama’s presidency, noting that the national deficit shrank by two-thirds and 16 million Americans were able to obtain health care through the Affordable Care Act adopted during his administration.

Canada doesn't have "states." They have "Provinces." :)

Thanks.

I would donate to build a statue in Kenya honoring Obozo’s whelping and birthing.

This statue is a backdoor way to get “approval” that ooobama was born in that state. Still debatable, though.

When that rotten piece of excrement passes away they should take him to the nearest public sewer plant and throw his worthless body in the water with the rest of the turds who are there. He deserves nothing more.

The man’s still alive, and they’re rushing to build a statue. Are people supposed to bow to it, or just pray to it?

Statue needs to be in kenya.

His grandma says she was there and witnessed the birth.

His own book says he was born there.

Newspaper articles covering his senate win say he was born n kenya.

No one demanded corrections.

If it was my book or my article and they get where I am born, I want it corrected.

Liberals are always touting themselves as much more sophisticated and smarter than conservatives. You see it all the time at Yahoo (a bunch of them have to come from DU and Huff Po - they're rabid).

When in fact, liberals are some of the dumbest and most easily-fooled people on Earth. They truly ARE clueless.

And stupid - look at Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Frederica Wilson, Al Green, Al Sharpton, etc. etc.
