As the Obama chapter of American history draws to a close, it would be fitting to write a reflection on Obama’s story, but the problem is, where does it start? Since Obama first became a public figure, two competing versions of his birth have circulated: one claiming he was born in Kenya and one claiming Hawaii. The purpose of this article is to assemble some of the primary sources documenting the history of these competing narratives, as a step towards determining why there are two stories and which--if either--is true.Obama’s 1990 Birthplace Joke: “I was born in Oslo, Norway”Obama’s earliest...

The chief investigator for Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s probe of the validity of the image Barack Obama released as his birth certificate says evidence suggests the involvement of the Hawaiian government in the alleged fabrication. WND reported last week that Arpaio and his chief investigator on the Obama birth certificate issue, Mike Zullo, held a news conference to reveal evidence they say shows the document was fabricated on a computer. They conclude it is not a copy of any original Hawaiian document, and while their investigation did not address whether Obama is a “natural-born citizen” as the Constitution requires for presidents,...

The five-year-long forensic investigation into the long-form birth certificate that President Barack Obama produced in 2011 has finally come to an end. On Thursday the report, issued by the Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff’s Office and authored by Sheriff Joe Arpaio (shown) and his chief investigator, Mike Zullo, concluded that it was fraudulent. Jerome Corsi, the author of Where’s the Birth Certificate? and senior writer at World Net Daily (WND), declared of the investigators, "[They] have done the United States a heroic service, demonstrating by forensic analysis that the long form birth certificate produced in a White House news conference on...

Investigators facing deadline with replacement for Sheriff Joe looming Evidence that the document presented to the American public by Barack Obama as his Hawaiian birth certificate is fake soon will be heading to members of Congress, and the difficult discussions over what crimes may have been committed and what should be done could begin soon. The atmosphere in Washington will be different under Trump, who will be inaugurated Jan. 20, since he publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate in 2011. During this election season, he stated he now believes Obama was born in Hawaii. But at a news conference Thursday, Maricopa...

The conversation about Barack Obama’s birth certificate has been off the table for a while now – but the true heart of the matter has never been resolved. Has anything in his administration been valid or legal? Oddly enough, it seems that a clever legal strategy may make the question of a forged document somehow irrelevant to Obama’s eligibility to hold office. Coincidentally or not, it was none other than President-elect Donald Trump who, arguably, called off the hounds, got the Obama Admin to produce a document, and then called the whole thing square in the lead up to 2012....

A years-long forensics investigation into the computer image of the long-form Hawaiian birth certificate image that Barack Obama released during a White House news conference during his first term and presented to the American people as an official government document reveals it is “fake.” It also confirms those who were subjected to the derogatory “birther” label from many media outlets and Democrats for badgering Obama with lawsuits, petitions to the Supreme Court, and more, were right – at least in the dispute that the document was manufactured and the questions about Obama’s birth and legitimacy to be president under the...

PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Chief Investigator Mike Zullo will be talking about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate on Thursday. According to MCSO, Arpaio and Zullo will be presenting the “newest revelations” to the investigation of Obama’s birth certificate. The press conference will be held at 4 p.m. on Thursday in Phoenix. ABC15 will live stream the event.

For nine years Free Republic has featured many articles and endless speculations about the junior Senator from Illinois who was the Democrat Party Presidential candidate in 2008. He never produced a genuine birth certificate from Hawaii which should have been a definite giveaway that he was not born in the United States. No one has been willing to challenge this man even though is has been obvious the past three years that whoever is occupying the Oval Office, a jolly man with yellowish fine-grained skin and rosy pink lips, is not the malignant narcissist with purple-lips elected in 2008 or...

"The birth certificate is fake" Anyone else? I cringed when he had to feign respect for the Kenyan usurper. He did refer to him as "your" president once which i liked.

A left-wing blogger says one of Hillary Clinton’s top aides urged him in 2008 to write articles suggesting that then-Senator Barack Obama “was not a natural born citizen.” Larry Johnson, operator of the NoQuarter blog, described his cooperation with the aide, Sidney Blumenthal in September 2015.

"Mr. Berg said he was contacted about filing the lawsuit by a member or associate of the group PUMA, which was formed to support Mrs. Clinton shortly after she withdrew from the race. Its mission includes denouncing the Democratic Party and Mr. Obama’s nomination."

Donald Trump is right: It was the Hillary Clinton campaign that spread the rumor in 2008 that Obama was not born in America and, therefore, might not be eligible to serve as President. Hillary sent out her Chief Goon to take care of this high-priority matter. It was Sidney Blumenthal who spread the rumor. Remember him? The one who sent hundreds of wacky long-winded memos about Benghazi and the Middle East to the Secretary of State, including several that contained classified material. Well, before Sid was a fake spy and clandestine adviser to Hillary, he was her chief enforcer. Blumenthal...

President Barack Obama made a joke with unfortunately bad timing Saturday, quipping that the Islamic State was no big deal compared to his birth certificate, only to have America hit by two separate explosions. While addressing a dinner held by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Saturday night, Obama joked about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s recent declaration that Obama was, in fact, born in America. “I don’t know about you guys, but I am so relieved that the whole birther thing is over,” Obama said. “I mean, ISIL, North Korea, poverty, climate change, none of those things weighed on my...

Now that he has come out and said (accurately) that President Obama is American-born, our corrupt media is still in a partisan frenzy to ensure Donald Trump answers for his Birtherism. At the same time, this very same media is just as desperate to ensure Hillary Clinton never answers for her role in inventing Birtherism. In order to accomplish this, the media is doing what it does best: lying and covering up. The media's lie is so grandiose and absurd, you have to laugh. Despite all the evidence and contemporaneous reporting (see below) that proves without question that, during their...

Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he thinks Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should apologize to President Obama for questioning his citizenship. "You know, yeah," the Ohio governor told NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked if Trump owes the president an apology. Kasich, who ended his own presidential bid in May and has not endorsed the Republican nominee, said he doesn't agree with questioning Obama's birthplace.

The material from this Clinton Campaign operative's blog is normally banned on FR, but this is just too topical and relevant to pass up so I hope I can be forgiven. Very interesting admission as Reuters just today issued an article claiming there is no evidence showing Clinton's campaign started the birther accusations. How does an admission by their own campaign operative count as "no evidence"? Link in discussion below, found via Ace of Spades blog.

Hey, for what it’s worth, Breitbart itself broke that BARACK OBAMA was the original Birther, having claimed to have been “born in Kenya” in order to sell his books. And here is the archived Archive.org link to snapshots of Obama’s literary agent’s website quote, that from 2005-2007 published the words ” He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, “: Archive.org WayBack Machine – April 31, 2007: We know literary agents get their authors’ bios from the authors themselves. And personally, I don’t think Trump is done with this,...

The Hillary Clinton campaign moved Saturday to further distance itself from the re-ignited controversy about President Obama’s birthplace and long-time Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, saying neither Clinton nor the 2008 campaign “ever” questioned the president’s citizenship. Donald Trump, Clinton’s Republican presidential rival, revived the so-called “birther” issue earlier this week when he declined to say definitively whether Obama is a U.S. citizen. The controversy gained momentum Friday when former McClatchy D.C. bureau chief James Asher tweeted that Blumenthal “told me in person” that Obama was born in Kenya. On Saturday, 2016 Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told Fox News: "As...

<p>I am now going to the brand new Trump International, Hotel D.C. for a major statement.</p> <p>Reporters assumed the statement would be about Obama’s birthplace, and, sensing an opportunity to halt Hilary’s decline in the polls, hurried to the Trump International en masse, with camera crews in tow. The cable news networks cleared time to broadcast the anticipated Trump humiliation live.</p>

Things have grown desperate in the Clinton camp. Nobody is coming right out and saying it - that’s not the Democrat way - butt trust me, the party’s Big Brains have concluded that they can not win with Hillary as head of the ticket; ipso fatso, they have replaced her with Obama.Don’t worry, I’ve got this!Aided and abetted by the Democratic operatives with bylines they’ve implemented the bait and switch scam.That’s right, the DNC/NBC/MsNBC/CBS/ABC/CNN/NYT/MSM, have redirected the 2016 campaign to Barack Obama’s (aka Barry Soetero) citizenship. More specifically they’ve redirected to Donald Trump’s role in seeking the “official” Obama birth...
