When adopted, a new birth certificate is issued, even if the previous was sealed... where is it?

This also means he was a citizen of Indonesia, does it not?

That would explain how he got into Pakistan when on college break (after visiting his mom in Indonesia), when his former Paki roommate.

Another poster over at TD’s blog says:

I contacted API, they responded saying they have audio recordings of the conversation. And they will be posting them on their website.

Oh well, back to ACORN and William Micheli paying taxes on his house and the lack of his taxes paid on it per tax forms.

Great investigative reporting you’ve been doing. I’m waiting for this to hit the fan big time. We can hope!

Thanks.

It comes down to this. If this is indeed correct, and I believe it to be, then Obama indeed is NOT eligible to Run for President. Obama has defrauded the American people (and who knows how many foreigners) of near half a BILLION dollars. The man is a Lawyer. He should know better. I know he knows better, its why he refuses to release his records. He is a NATURALIZED Citizen if he is a citizen at all, and that makes his candidacy a FRAUD. He KNOWS this.

No matter your party affiliation, or even your support for a given candidate, ALL Americans ought to be LIVID about this.

Ali- I’ve been following this since it came out late last evening. I was pretty skeptical. No- I was VERY skeptical. Now I’m beginning to wonder.

API put a strong support statement up and I’ve read posts on different blogs and here on FR by people who have already contacted API- they say the do have the recording of Michelle saying these things.

I’m a little less skeptical- but we need absolute VERIFICATION!

I believe exactly what you are saying. I’ve been following all of this for what seems like months. I’ve watched the entire thing from the start and I believe you are spot on. There is just too much “there there” and coupled with his ongoing refusal to release any pertinent documentation certainly sends it to an even higher level.

I just went to that America Right? site again...and once again, my computer completely freezes up, but that Jeff person is back to saying that he thinks this is not true. Since I can’t scroll at all on the page and have to restart my computer each time I go to any of these sites, including the api site, I’m just going to have to rely on posts here to tell me what they are saying. Something is VERY strange about my computer completely freezing everytime I go to one of these sites.

I agree with you. As “hot” as this story is, it definitely needs to be verified.

My interest in this story is not so much because of the birth certificate issue (which could be a red herring) but rather Obama’s ties with Rail Odinga who had hoped to turn Kenya into an al Qaeda stronghold if he had won the election.

I can’t wait to see what Mr. Jerome Corsi has discovered on his recent trip to Kenya.

Start from bottom up- this story is so bizarre- and it’s very tough to know facts yet. When/If they post the tape as they say they will- we’ll know. Meanwhile...

1:00pm

Frank Gaffney at The Washington Times made reference to Philip Berg’s lawsuit against Barack Obama in yesterday’s paper, apparently, stating the following in an article entitled “The Jihadist Vote”:

Another question yet to be resolved is whether Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States, a prerequisite pursuant to the U.S. Constitution. There is evidence Mr. Obama was born in Kenya rather than, as he claims, Hawaii. There is also a registration document for a school in Indonesia where the would-be president studied for four years, on which he was identified not only as a Muslim but as an Indonesian. If correct, the latter could give rise to another potential problem with respect to his eligibility to be president.
Curiously, Mr. Obama has, to date, failed to provide an authentic birth certificate which could clear up the matter.

Philip Berg, just last evening, mentioned that he had completed a lengthy interview with a reporter from The Washington Times who had not yet heard of the federal suit and was “extremely intrigued by the whole thing.” Upon hearing about this story, however, Berg mentioned that the reporter he spoke with was not Frank Gaffney — so perhaps there is more to come.

12:45pm

Now, here’s the deal. I still think that the African Press International story, as it stands, is a complete fraud. However, the addition of a telephone number to be used for verification purposes—there was no answer at the other end—definitely piqued my interest and motivated me to make a few telephone calls.

My source—who, at this point, cannot be named—said that while he did not hear the audiotape himself, he knew for certain that they were in possession of it. This, of course, reminds me of back in 1992 when supporters of then President George Herbert Walker Bush said that they were in possession of a photograph of Bill Clinton burning an American flag in a Moscow square, only no such photograph ever turned up.

Again, we need to be careful here. On its face, the African Press International piece is about as suspect as it could be. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that Michelle Obama would call this fly-by-night organization, which hadn’t been kind to her husband, and make such outrageously incriminating and otherwise divisive statements so close to the election. She may be an angry woman, but she’s also an intelligent one and should know the ramifications of saying such things.

This story has obviously taken off, so much so that it has been noted on two separate well-respected political blogs.

Byron York at National Review mentioned the rumors at The Corner, but oddly enough almost went out of his way not to mention anything about citizenship:

That Michelle Obama Report [Byron York]

I’m sure a lot of you have seen references this morning to statements allegedly made by Michelle Obama in an interview with an organization called African Press International. I just asked the Obama campaign whether Michelle Obama did in fact speak to that organization, and spokesman Tommy Vietor answered:

The answer is no, it’s not real, the report is made up. She did not speak to the organization.

ABCNews’ Jake Tapper was a little more specific on his Internet blog, Political Punch. Tapper went on to say that representatives of the Obama campaign dismissed the report as “all a lie,” and that he found their response “quite believable”:

OBAMA CAMPAIGN SAYS MICHELLE OBAMA ‘INTERVIEW’ ON ‘AFRICAN PRESS’ WEBSITE IS 100% BOGUS

The conservative blogs are all atwitter about a bizarre interview allegedly with Michelle Obama on a website called “African Press International.”

“My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic,” she supposedly said “on a direct telephone to API” the “interview” hypes. It goes on from there.

This morning my inbox is filled with the “WHY ARENT YOU COVERING THIS?” emails on the subject. The answer is: because it doesn’t appear to be in any way real.

Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs says the interview is a complete and utter fabrication. “It’s bogus, she didn’t call, it’s all a lie,” he says.

And I have to say — I find their pushback quite believable. The Obama campaign does not tend to directly engage fringe websites making wild charges, and if they were to do so they certainly wouldn’t have Michelle Obama make the call.

Maybe the folks at API were taken in by an imposter. Maybe they made it up, I don’t know.

In these last three weeks, there is going to be a lot of dung thrown at the wall. Lots of charges and counter-charges and counter-counter-charges.

A word to the wise, my friends. I don’t know if you know this, but not everything that appears on the internet is true.

I’m with them both. Standing on its face, the purported interview doesn’t pass the sniff test. It sounds contrived. It’s too convenient. Still, with my source saying that there is audiotaped evidence that it is true, I cannot help but wonder. Phil Berg, confronted with this information, said pretty much the same thing.

“Obviously we cannot say whether or not these statements made by Michelle Obama really were made by Michelle Obama,” Berg said. “However, should they have come from her, it really solidifies the arguments I’ve been making for the past few months. We need to wait until someone has the audiotape, but even without it, there should be enough out there that somebody should ask Obama about it at tonight’s debate. Where were you born, Barack Obama? Are you Indonesian, Barack Obama?”

In the meantime, one of the readers here at America’s Right e-mailed me with a response he received from the people at African Press International when asked about the authenticity of the Michelle Obama statements. The message:

Proof will soon be on the website.

API
10:30am

Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that I was wrong. And I think I was wrong.

I just got off the phone with a very reputable source that says there is absolutely, positively an audiotape showing that Michelle Obama did in fact say what she said.

I cannot say more right now, as to the source, but let’s put it this way — If you want to know something about Obama, you talk to this guy.

KEEP CHECKING HERE!!

I have not had any problems with any sites lately. I am watching http://www.americasright.com/2008/10/update-update.html and http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/10/obama-campaign.html as well. The latter is repeating the Campaign denial.

We shal see. We shal see. It TD is right over at TexasDarlin then API is going to be posting the recording on its website. I am watching that too.

BREAKING

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=78041

Worldnet Daily is talking about it.

Michelle Obama calls Corsi 'evil' She tells foreign news agency 'to support Africans and African-American view' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: October 14, 2008 9:36 pm Eastern © 2008 WorldNetDaily Michelle Obama WASHINGTON – Michelle Obama placed a surprise call to an African news agency to protest its coverage of WND investigative stories about her husband – characterizing the source of the material as "racist" and Jerome Corsi as "evil." The call was placed to African Press International, according to a report in the publication today. It said Michelle Obama accused API of "colluding with American Internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband." The report said Mrs. Obama had hoped the African media "was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with." API's account said it was "only relaying what the American bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations." This, according to the story, angered her. WND senior staff writer Jerry Corsi "African Press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view," she reportedly said. "It is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a stepfather. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband's face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband's adoption by his stepfather. The important thing here is where my husband's heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that my husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner." The Obama campaign immediately denied the telephone call happened. Tommy Vietor, a campaign spokesman, told Byron York on the National Review Online blog "The Corner," the conversation didn't happen. "The answer is no, it's not real, the report is made up. She did not speak to the organization," Vietor said. However, in an e-mail to WND, a man who identified himself as API's "Chief Editor Korikr" confirmed the exchange. "API hereby confirms to you that the story is true and if the huge interest on this particular story continues, we will post the recording on our website in the next immediate days. "When we published the story we did not intend to cause any chaos but we are shocked by the huge interest the story is receiving from the Americans and the American media," he continued. "Mrs. Obama called us just to ask API to stop joining the mainstream hate online media that is trying to destroy her husband's opportunity to get the presidency," he wrote. He said his editorial board would meet to discuss how best to release the audio. AFI asked Michelle Obama to comment on the detention of Corsi during his visit last week to Kenya, where he was investigating the presidential candidate's links to a controversial strongman serving as prime minister. Get the book that started it all – Jerome Corsi's "The Obama Nation," personally autographed – for only $4.95, available today, but only from WND! "When API asked Mrs. Obama to comment on why Dr. Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya's prime minister, Mr. Raila Odinga, was involved in Dr. Corsi's arrest, she got irritated and simply told API not to dig [into] that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency," the publication reported. AFI also said the first lady in waiting had some clear instructions for the publication. (Story continues below) "Mrs. Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the inauguration ceremony when, as she put it, her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year," the report said. Michelle Obama had one other point to make – regarding the endorsement of her husband by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, which she deemed "unfortunate." She reportedly told AFI that it was unfortunate that the highly controversial Farrakhan made his support known before the election.

THANK YOU! for posting all of that here so I didn’t have to “unfreeze” my computer for the 10th time this morning. VERY interesting! I’m anxiously awaiting api’s release of the audio. I hope we’re not waiting here like we did with Corsi’s “documents”. Where the heck are THEY anyway?
