Last week, an archived article from the Sunday, June 27, 2004 edition of the East African Standard headlined: Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate was unearthed.
The article began, Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The uncovering of this archive went viral on the Internet and could be found on blogs from coast to coast.
Another archived article surfaced last week from the Nov. 4, 2008 edition of the Nigerian Observer titled: US Presidential Polls: Obama, McCain slug it out today.
The article, by Soloman Osowata with Agency Reports, stated, The Kenyan-born Senator will, however, face stiff competition from his Republican counterpart, John McCain who has taken the presidential battle to the finishing line with vigorous campaign strategies.
More recently, the Oct. 11, 2009 edition of the Standard published an article questioning whether or not Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.
The opening sentence in that article stated, It seems Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America (via a sleepy village in Kenya called Nyangoma KOgelo) can do no wrong.
In light of these recent discoveries, Snopes.com has been surprisingly silent on the matter, as have other fact-checking websites. Snopes.com has aggressively debunked any and all questions about Obamas birthplace, even going so far as to change archived information when the very left-leaning couple that runs Snopes.com realized certain posts contradicted other posts on their own website.
The November 2008 edition of the Organization of American Historians (OAH) Newsletter contained an editorial by Monica-Wanambisi Mwesel, a literature professor at the University of Nairobi, titled: What Kenyans think about an Obama win.
According to its website, the OAH, founded in 1907 as the Mississippi Valley Historical Association, is the largest professional organization for the investigation, study and teaching of American History. It serves a membership of 11,000 college and university professors, high school teachers, students, archivists, public historians, and institutional subscribers such as libraries, museums, and history societies, as well as individual and institutional foreign members.
The article, obviously published before the Nov. 4, 2008 election, stated, Most Kenyans feel that, should Obama win, their lives will definitely improve Many assume that by being connected to Kenya, Obama would be empowered to send vast amounts of U.S. aid to their country. Since graft and corruption are common to both the Islamic and the Democratic parties, certainly most of this money would go to the promotion of an Islamic state and then financing the conversion of other African states to Islam. Many assume that Obama will channel resources that will go a long way in improving the lives of the people.
Mwesel mentions schools were renamed after Obama prior to his most recent visit with the hope of attracting funding, since it would be considered a shame that a school named for a great American should be so dilapidated.
She went on to say, A widespread assumption is that, being a Kenyan, Obama understands the problems Kenyans face. Hence they expect more foreign aid from him. They wonder why they should stay poor while they have a Kenyan president of the U.S.
Close to half of Kenyans, Mwesel said, dreaded the prospects of an Obama presidency and were fractured along ethnic lines, citing the Kikuyu tribe feared an Obama victory would boost the chances of Raila Odinga, a Luoccai like Obama, to ascend to the presidency.
Mwesel concluded, It is therefore very clear that Senator Obama draws frenzied support from the Luo ethnic group of his ancestors, while many members of the rival Kikuyu group do not support him.
In fact, Mwesel said the majority of the Kikuyu favored New York Senator Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries.
A June 2004 article from the archives of the East African Standard referred to then Senator Barack Obama as Kenyan-born, while an article published in the Oct. 11, 2009 edition refers to Obama becoming President of the United States via a sleepy village in Kenya called Nyangoma KOgelo.
This should be sent to every member of the US Congress asking them what they intend to do about this since We The People want an answer.

When Judge Land threw out the case (and he was a Marine) then nobody cares about the Constitution anymore. Only Orly cares and she gets no respect. So, your country is toast.
They were too busy digging through Sarah and Joe’s trash to bother finding this before??
And all those RINO traitors, where were they???
I’d love to see Barack Hussein Dunham Obama Soetoro impeached and deported to Kenya, Indonesia or anywhere.
However, these articles don’t prove a thing. At best, they might warrant some follow up with the reporters who wrote the stories to find out where they got the impression that Obama was Kenyan born. I’d say the odds are about 99.8% that they would say they were mistaken and had simply assumed he was born in Kenya because his father was.
I highly doubt they will tell you they saw the secret, Kenyan birth certificate or had any other inside information about his birthplace.
Newspapers make mistakes every day.
I haven’t heard that Land was a Marine???
The Federal Courts Are Committing Treason to the Constitution per Chief Justice John Marshall
Per the great U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, the federal courts and judges are committing treason to the Constitution by not taking jurisdiction and getting to the merits in the various cases before them regarding the Article II eligibility clause question for Obama.
It is worth keeping in mind the words of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall when he wrote in Cohens v. Virginia 19 US 264 (1821):
It is most true that this Court will not take jurisdiction if it should not: but it is equally true, that it must take jurisdiction if it should. The judiciary cannot, as the legislature may, avoid a measure because it approaches the confines of the constitution. We cannot pass it by because it is doubtful. With whatever doubts, with whatever difficulties, a case may be attended, we must decide it, if it be brought before us. We have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the constitution. Questions may occur which we would gladly avoid; but we cannot avoid them. All we can do is, to exercise our best judgment, and conscientiously to perform our duty. In doing this, on the present occasion, we find this tribunal invested with appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the constitution and laws of the United States. We find no exception to this grant, and we cannot insert on

If one birth announcement in one newspaper proves he is natural born, wouldn’t several Kenyan birth stories in several papers definitely prove he isn’t natural born?
When Judge Land threw out the case (and he was a Marine)
A marine?.... Really? What years did he serve?
Now one might expect the African writers to oblivious to the constitutional issue of Obama's eligibility for POTUS. But an American? It doesn't speak very highly as to her prowess in American civics.
I don’t know but I read it somewhere. Maybe someone can verify it.
I dont know but I read it somewhere.
That’s whay I’d like to see is where you read that?...... First I’ve heard of that.
I will have to search around and see if I can come up with it. I read a lot of stuff online.
Funny, I see people on TV get convicted every day for murder on less circumstantial evidence then this yet we can't even get a trial for so much more...law and order my butt
I'm not aware that Judge Land threw out the case. The last I read he will hear the case sometime in January. Do you have a source stating that he has dismissed the case?
I read that he called it frivolous and fined Orly 20K..I thought that was throwing it out.
If he is going to hear the “frivolous case”, is he granting discovery?
