A Kenyan lawmaker told the nation's Parliament last month 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.

I wonder how you would hold up receiving the threats they undoubtedly receive?
Maybe you don't realize what we're dealing with here....think Foster, Brown. etc.
The people who elected BO don't understand what a natural born citizen is and they don't care. Some will say "he was born in Hawai'i, and he posted his birth certificate and birth announcement on the Internet." Some will say, "Even if he was born abroad [in Kenya], his mother was an American citizen, so he's an American citizen too." Others will say, "So what! All of this Constitutional crap is tiresome, it's a silly, irrelevant old document written by oppressive dead white men, so who cares."
BO was elected by an UNEDUCATED public. Fifty years ago people knew what "natural born citizen" (in terms of qualifications for the Presidency) meant. It was taught in high schools.
If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America? It is because they did away with exclusion.
What has killed us here is exclusion; that once Mr. Orengo is President, I know of no other place than Ugenya.
That is why we were fighting against these many Presidencies in the past.
I hope that Kenya will come of age. This country must come of age. People want freedom and nations want liberation, but countries want independence.
I would think they should be more fearful of what will happen if bammie stays in office.
This does not add to, or subtract from the eligibility issue.
It was the "Minister of Lands" making an off-handed remark while discussing the Kenyan constitution. The entire transcript was 69 pages long...this comment was a couple of sentences by 1 guy...no discussion.
He is not the first Kenyan to make this claim. And he offers no proof to back up his claim.
This not an official declaration by the Kenyan government...this is not The Warren Commission Report...which is still being debated...
“”the Sunday [Weekly] Standard story of June 27, 2004 “”
Is there a Sunday edition of the Weekly Standard or is the Sunday Standard something totally different?
That's the way I'm starting to see the 2008 election.
However, if the Arizona statute which would require candidates to show valid birth certificates in order to be placed on the ballot for the 2012 election passes, then 0bama cannot continue to just ignore the situation.
Speaking of which, does anyone know the present status of this bill? Last I heard it had passed committee approval and was being forwarded toward a full vote but I haven't heard anything further. Thanks -
Your right....My bad..Just got carried away.
If I have my wires crossed I hope to be corrected. You know and not to be paranoid, that is all some of the left would need to shut down good old FR.
And I can't believe how many show up who think this is a non issue yet are on every eligibility thread saying so.
Why is that?
This particular statement from this one individual on it's own may mean nothing, it's when you add up everything it kind of just screams out at you.
You would have to be deaf not to hear it, or have an agenda.
I agree, political correctness and taking over the schools is the real conspiracy.
It was USALiberty, a noob, Since Oct 6, 2009
You are probably correct. I did glance at the article that was removed (at the Post and Mail or whatever it’s called), didn’t read much, but avoiding that stuff may be best at this point. For FR.
To “the middle” - those who decide elections.
Book mark. Cuz I’m tired.
“The middle” are the ones who are going to be the most outraged when more truth about 0kaka dribbles out.
You’re either singularly ill-informed or....?
The only word that comes to mind is wussies.
I wonder how you would hold up receiving the threats they undoubtedly receive?
Maybe you don’t realize what we’re dealing with here....think Foster, Brown. etc

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I was referring to some here in the FR, and elsewhere, who are afraid that the media will label us as “Birthers” if we ask questions about the Kenyan’s birth country.
We (the GOP) should be demanding to see this POS’s legal birth, citizenship, and college records. If we recoil in fear because of what the media might label us, then we might as well quit now.
I’m waiting to see a picture of the monument of the birth place of BHO taken at the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombassa.
Americans were not forbidden to go to Pakistan in 1981...but Obama evidently didn't have a US Passport until he was elected to the US Senate so what passport did he use prior to that? Didn't he and Michelle supposedly go to Bermuda or somewhere for six months in the mid 1990s so that he could “write” his book? Do we have access to her passport records at that time and would they show anything? If he had a passport from another country, under what name was it issued and what country was it from?
Why is it so hard to find ONE reporter who will ask a few simple questions - I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I am getting tired of being called names for simply wanting to verify the background of the man who is living in the White House and spending my country into bankruptcy!
