How do you know Brzezinski was his former Professor at Columbia? The one about his co-workers at BIC was very interesting. So now we have another piece of his puzzle.

Also here is what I believe to be another Obama fairy tale. In his biographical video from the convention he tells a charming tale about a favorite childhood memory—being taken by his grandpa to see some of the astronauts come back, sitting on Grandpa’s shoulder and waving a small American flag. And grandpa said, “Boy, Americans—we can do anything if we put our minds to it!”

I was suspicious about that as soon as I saw it. With the news footage they showed along with this it sounded like they went down to the shore and watched one of the space casules splashdown. There were only two splashdowns in the vicinity of Hawaii—Apollo 15, Aug. 7, 1971, 550 miles north of Honolulu and ASTP-Soyuz, July 24, 1975 and given the coordinates was probably about 275-400 mile from Honolulu. The splashdown they show looks identical to that of Apollo 13 ( http://tomsastroblog.com/?p=1852 ). The next part of his video shows astronauts coming out of a helicopter wearing orange suits which doesn’t match any pictures I can find in any of the photo galleries on the flights and then there’s a tickertape parade. The only reference I can find to any such parades are for Apollo 11 and Apollo 13. There are a couple of photos online for Apollo 11 but I cannot find any for 13. Anyway the video makes it look like he was there to see these things—all the while sitting on Grandpa’s shoulders and waving his little flag. However Apollo 13 did not happen till April 17, 1970 when he was 9 years old (Grandpa would have had to have very strong shoulders to be carrying the chubby Barry that we know him to be then) and still going to school in Indonesia. It’s interesting also to note that a few seconds before this touching biographical vignette
he’s telling us about the values he learned from his mother and his grandparents like “HONESTY”!

I also found this out:

The Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL) is a facility at NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (Building 37) that was constructed to quarantine astronauts and material brought back from the Moon during the Apollo program to mitigate the risk of back-contamination. After recovery at sea, crews from Apollo 11, Apollo 12 and Apollo 14 walked from their helicopter to an isolation van on the deck of an aircraft carrier and were brought to the LRL for quarantine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Receiving_Laboratory

Now just to be fair, the crew of Apollo 13 did go to Honolulu for a ceremony on April 18 but he was still in Indonesia. Apollo 15 having landed fairly close to Hawaii may have also gone there but he was too old for his story, Apollo 16—I haven’t been able to find out, and for Apollo 17, Dec. 19, 1972, I also found an article that said the crew flew to Honolulu and then on to the mainland.

It just all goes into the fairy tale file that we are all so familiar with—a sweet tale to endear him to America but it makes you want to puke when it’s revealed for what it is. If it could in any way be possible for him to have been back in Hawaii (which I don’t believe could have been the case)to see the historic welcome for Apollo 13, then why not identify it as such? Anyone would have remembered that all their life and would have been proud to say they were there. And if it was any other, then it just doesn’t fit the cute mind-picture that he created and so it’s another deception. Barry, Barack, Barack II Dunham, Obama, Soetoro,Obama cannot be believed about ANYTHING that he has to say about himself and the life he has lived.

Here is the link to the convention video if anyone wants to check it out. The part you want to see is about one inch from the end on the little tracker line.
