In addition to putting solar panels on “Mama Sara’s” roof, the activists put them on the “Senator Barack Obama School” in Kogelo Village as well. These activities were combined with a 20-day workshop to teach Kenyan youth “how solar photovoltaic panels generate electricity, about their installation and maintenance and the fabrication of self-assembling solar lamps and their marketing potential,” according to Greenpeace. The workshop involves youth from the Kibera Community Youth Program as well as community members of Nyang’oma Kogelo — 25 people in total. A thankful Mama Sara said: “I am very pleased that my home has been improved...

The eye-opener here concerns Obama's first job out of college. In his autobiography, "Dreams from My Fathers", Barack Obama writes of taking a job after graduating from Columbia University in 1983. He describes his employer as A consulting house to multinational corporations" in New York City, and his functions as a "research assistant" and "financial writer" In fact he was recruited by Business International Corporation that was continuously being accused of as a CIA front company. Wikipedia, an independent source, supports this, The company has been identified as cover organization for the Central Intelligence Agency, e.g. see Lobster Magazine, and...

Hey look! The Obamas are normal people ... like us!

See front page of Drudge Report with Obama on the cover of Parade Magazine. Obama uses his daughters as a tool to boost his popularity constantly while telling the press that the daughters are to be left alone and their privacy respected.

"U.S. President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia (R) and Sasha walk to Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, August 23, 2009. The first family are flying to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts for a week-long vacation. Woman at 2nd R is unidentified."

OTIS AIR BASE, Mass. (Aug. 23) - Hurricane Bill blew out in time for the Obama family to blow in to Martha's Vineyard for the president's first vacation since taking office. The first family began their vacation Sunday just hours after the National Hurricane Center lifted a tropical storm warning that had included the small island off the Massachusetts coast where the Obamas plan a weeklong break. The hurricane forced the president to delay his departure from Andrews Air Force Base by a few hours to midafternoon. During the flight from Washington to the Coast Guard station at Otis Air...

An Obama Family Vacation at Martha's Vineyard [Pics of Family in URL] No staycation for the first family, who plan some private time-off at 28-acre Blue Heron Farm. Still, the president won't pause in his work on healthcare reform. The president, First Lady Michelle Obama and their two daughters are set to spend the week at the well-appointed Blue Heron Farm, a private estate they are renting from a family of Republican political donors.

There's been a big fuss this week because Michelle Obama wore shorts. She's worn shorts before — to walk the dog, do stuff around the White House. But the photos of her wearing them in that iconic descending-from-Air-Force-One-onto-the-tarmac setting proved too much for the media. Obamas? Check. Summer news doldrums? Check. Controversy? Close enough. It was a story. * * * But the truth is there was a conflict. It is within each of us. While nobody would make Mrs. O wear couture in Arizona in August, the truth is, she just didn't look particularly good in shorts. Her arms...

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama left the White House on Friday for a 10-day vacation away, taking with him the beloved family dog and leaving behind an acrimonious debate about a proposed overhaul of the nation's health care system. Obama left the White House's South Lawn by Marine helicopter early in the afternoon for the presidential retreat at Maryland's Camp David. He and his family then head on Sunday morning to Massachusetts' Martha's Vineyard, where they will stay at a private 28-acre estate and are expected to keep mostly to themselves. "I think he's going to spend a decent...

Although no evidence has surfaced placing Barack Obama's mother in Kenya at the time of the president's birth, a taped telephone conversation in which his Kenyan step-grandmother purportedly claims he was born in the coastal city of Mombasa has become an Internet hit since its submission as evidence in a lawsuit challenging the president's eligibility. Philip J. Berg, a former Pennsylvania deputy attorney general, included a transcript of the tape and sworn affidavits in a filing with the U.S. Supreme Court after lower courts dismissed as frivolous his Aug. 21, 2008, complaint alleging Obama was born in Mombasa. The Oct....

Robinson said that life is wonderful and it's an overwhelming feeling to have a daughter married to the president of the United States.

What’s the deal with Barack Obama selling out his own grandmother every chance he gets? In another example of Obama’s lousy attitude towards the woman that raised him since he was 10 years old, the New York Times this weekend recalled an interview in which he criticized his grandmother, Madelyn Durham, for electing to undergo hip replacement surgery despite being terminally ill: “I don’t know how much that hip replacement cost… (I don’t feel) society making those decisions to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill is a sustainable model.”...

Seems some people are actually outraged, outraged that First Lady Michelle Obama dared to bare so much leg by wearing shorts on a recent trip to the sweltering Grand Canyon. OMG. First she wears a sleeveless dress, now this? But think about this for a minute. What should she have worn to the Grand Canyon? A tweed pantsuit? A ballgown? What do you wear on your summer vacation?

The first lady with a right to bear arms is now exercising her right to bear her legs. That's what the chatty-o-sphere's saying about Michelle Obama's so-called "short shorts", which she was wearing when she strolled around the Grand Canyon on a family trip yesterday. But those aren't short shorts. They're shorts, period. What wizened, saggy chinned, fanny pack-wearing news anchor called them short shorts to begin with? What jealous, Dockers-clad, khaki-panted right wing zealot believed them? Who out there's really scandalized? For serious. Those aren't short shorts. They're mommy bloomers. Even webby bastion of liberalism The Huffington Post asked...

Apparently, Michelle Obama arms can move some water. “Mrs. Obama was an incredible paddler,” said Jaye Gibb, raft guide with Gallatin Gateway-based Geyser Whitewater Expeditions and a kindergarten teacher at Heck/Quaw Elementary School in Belgrade. “She was even better than some of the Secret Service out there.” While President Barack Obama held a town meeting in Belgrade on Friday, Michelle Obama and daughters Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, along with some other relatives went whitewater rafting on the Gallatin River. The group took four rafts in all, also accommodating Secret Service and other White House staff.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is investigating the posthumous "baptism" of President Barack Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, as a "serious breach" of religious code, a spokeswoman said. Church records published by a liberal blog, Americablog, show that Dunham, who died in 1995, was baptised last June 4 in Provo, Utah, and received endowment, another sacrament, a week later. "The offering of baptism to our deceased ancestors is a sacred practice to us and it is counter to Church policy for a Church member to submit names for baptism for persons to whom they are not related,"...

Additional documents uncovered by WND support a previous report that President Obama's parents did not live together as husband and wife at the Honolulu address listed in birth announcements in two local newspapers. Both newspapers, the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, carried the announcement that Barack Obama Jr. was born Aug. 4, 1961, to Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama, residing at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu, Hawaii. Additional research has established that the grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, lived at 6085 Kalanianaole Highway, not Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham. Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Obama apparently did not...

Kezia Obama, who was in Washington to see President Obama's inauguration, says she wouldn't have lived to see it had it not been for the publicly funded British health care system.

The Obama White House is abuzz with talk of witchcraft by first grandmother, 72-year-old Marian Robinson, who lives in the White House residence. A close friend of Michelle Obama says the president is furious at his mother-in-law after learning that she was practicing Santeria, an African spirit cult, in the White House. "The president is quite upset about this on two different levels. First, he is a committed Christian, no matter what his critics say about Reverend Wright. He is adamant that Sasha and Malia be raised with Christian influences. He does not want them to be involved with African...

Ever since their father became president, Malia and Sasha Obama have for the most part been seen but not heard. But during a family trip on Sunday to the Grand Canyon, the voice of Malia, 11, was crystal clear over the television microphones, as she demonstrated her acumen in geology to her very impressed mother and father.

John F. Kennedy was sworn into office. Roger Maris was hitting 61 home runs. The Berlin wall was erected. Much was happening in the first six months of 1961. But an extensive WND investigation into events leading up to the birth of Barack Obama, who would become America's first black president 47 years later, leaves many unanswered questions about the whereabouts and activities of the woman he claims as his mother. The timeline for Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, reveals an approximately six-and-a-half month interval in which there is no documentation for her whereabouts, from Jan. 31, 1961, when she concluded...

Obama invokes grandmother's death in health debate Aug 15 By LIZ SIDOTI GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) - Now, it's personal. President Barack Obama invoked his own anguish over the death of a loved one as he challenged the debunked notion that Democratic efforts to overhaul the nation's health care would include "death panels."

Obama: ‘I just lost my grandmother last year’ By J. Taylor Rushing Posted: 08/15/09 05:56 PM [ET] President Barack Obama used a personal touch to fight back against “dishonest” critics of his efforts to reform the nation's insurance industry during a town hall Saturday in Colorado. Speaking in Grand Junction, Co., Obama invoked his grandmother's death in 2008 to dispel rumors of “death panels.” Obama said he was fine with having honest disagreements in the healthcare debate. “What you can't do — or, you can, but you shouldn't do — is start saying we want to set up death panels...

President Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, at a gala celebration here of their mother's collection of Indonesian batiks, praised the "global citizenship in this family and in this world." Soetoro-Ng spoke at the opening event for the exhibit "A Lady Found a Culture in Its Cloth: Barack Obama's Mother and Indonesian Batiks" at Washington's Textile Museum August 9-23.

Soetoro-Ng fails to uphold great White House tradition of rascally siblingsThe last few White House occupants have offered the nation not only the gift of great leadership but also the gift of laughter, thanks in large part to a colorful parade of grifter siblings. Who can forget the drunken antics of Bill Clinton's younger brother Roger, and his possible "role in an outrageous array of slippery and ill-fated schemes ranging from Mafioso pardons to Chinese scooter imports to Venezuelan coal mines"? And what about Hillary Rodham Clinton's brothers, Hugh and Tony, a couple of hustlers who got wrapped up in...

President Obama's Kenyan aunt has returned to public housing in South Boston as she awaits a deportation hearing early next year, the Boston Herald reported Friday. Zeituni Polly Onyango, the half-sister of Obama's father, been staying with relatives in Cleveland but moved back to Boston late last year. She moved into her current complex this month. "Beggars can't be choosers," Onyango, 57, told the newspaper Thursday. She wore a sleeveless dress she said her nephew bought her years before his rise to the most powerful office in the land.

A controversial ad campaign featured in the Washington, D.C., metro area is comparing public school lunches across the country to what President Obama's daughters eat at their elite private school. MyFOXDC.com reports that the ad, sponsored by Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, shows an eight-year-old girl speaking about the "healthy" vegetarian lunch choices Sasha and Malia Obama have at Sidwell Friends -- a Quaker private school in Northwest Washington, D.C. The girl then asks, "Why don't I?"

This tacky monstrosity can't belong to Obama, can it? Maybe this is just wild conjecture here -- and we all know how much everyone loves opinions in Serious Journalism -- but isn't Barack Obama's birthday cake hideously ugly? This is not at all in line with Obama's sleek, skinny-tie persona, and frankly, we're shocked. It looks like the Cake Boss's disgruntled ex karate-chopped the frosting bag. Decorated with the presidential seal, the layer cake also is accompanied by various pies, including pecan, huckleberry, Key lime and coconut cream, plus a cheesecake. How'd this happen? Michelle wears $540 Lanvin sneakers to...

Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack Obama's mother, was registered for college classes in Seattle only 15 days after reportedly delivering her first-born child in Honolulu, according to school records obtained by WND. How Dunham was able to travel the 2,680 air miles from Honolulu to Seattle only a few days after the birth of her baby – at a time when trans-Pacific travel likely was at a speed half of today's jets – is not disclosed in the currently available public record concerning President Obama's birth. Nor is there anything on the public record to explain how Dunham managed to find...

Ronald Reagan's birthplace, a second-story apartment over what was once a small-town tavern in Tampico, Ill., is today marked by a museum. John Adams' birthplace is a national park. Even Rutherford B. Hayes, whose birthplace is today covered over by a BP gas station, merits a metal plaque commemorating the location. But while most of America's 44 presidents have tourist attractions or monuments of some kind marking their birthplaces, President Barack Obama – for several reasons – may not be granted the honor. Three obstacles in particular stand in the way: First, though Obama maintains he was born in Honolulu,...

My first take is that the dates DO match up for 1964 events surrounding the Obama's 1964 divorce.Here we go:Ann filed for Divorce Jan. 20, 1964 (Inauguration Day – what are the odds?), and the date was set by the presiding judge for the trial to commence 30 days after Obama SR would have responded to his notification, sent to Cambridge, Mass (Cambridge – what are the odds? ). Judge Samuel P. King who granted the divorce – last I heard was retired and alive (for now) in his 90s in Hawaii -- MAY or MAY NOT have asked to...

With her deportation hearing still six months away, the controversial Kenyan aunt of President Obama has quietly resurfaced in public housing in South Boston, the Herald has learned. “Beggars can’t be choosers,” Obama’s “Auntie Zeituni” Onyango, 57, told the Herald yesterday with a mischievous smile, wearing a string of pearls and a sleeveless forest-green sheath she said her nephew bought her years before he became leader of the free world. “I’d like to live in a castle and have a limousine,” she said, “but I don’t. My wealth is my health.” more............

The evidence would indicate young Barack Hussein Obama was adopted by Indonesian citizen Lolo Soetoro after Soetoro and Obama's mother were married. The most convincing evidence is the Hawaii divorce papers filed in 1980 as Stanley Ann Soetoro vs. Lolo Soetoro. This document lists the couple as having two children. One is under the age of eighteen. That would be Maya Soetoro who was born in 1970. The other child is listed as over eighteen and in need of educational support. That would be Barry Soeroto (Barack Hussein Obama.) There are no other know children related to this marriage.

Here is video of Glenn Beck today hammering President Obama over him allowing his Aunt Zeituni Polly Onyango to live in Public Housing in Boston while she awaits a deportation hearing, rather than helping to provide something better for her. He quotes the Boston Herald several times in an article they did on the Aunt's situation. Here's the key quote: "With her deportation hearing still six months away, the controversial Kenyan aunt of President Obama has quietly resurfaced in public housing in South Boston, the Herald has learned. “Beggars can’t be choosers,” Obama’s “Auntie Zeituni” Onyango, 57, told the Herald...

He heard a robber enter the front door. Scared to death, he jumped out a window. Arrested, the cops wouldn't let him go until he proved, by a photo he knew was inside, that it was indeed his home. "But," says the governor now, "I wasn't angry. I was just so grateful I had...
