Obama Offers Wild Revision of His Own History
by Paul R. Hollrah
03/27/2007
Tuning in to C-SPAN recently, I found myself listening to a speech by Illinois Democratic Sen. Barack Hussein Obama. He was standing at the pulpit of a black church in Selma, Ala., and as I studied the body language of the dozen or so black ministers standing behind the senator, I couldnt help but be reminded of the little head-bobbing dolls that people used to place in the rear windows of their 1957 Chevrolets. If their reactions are any indication, the new Schlickmeister of the Democratic Party is actually a pretty accomplished public speaker.
However, as he spoke, I found my B.S. alarm going off repeatedly. But I couldnt quite figure out why until I actually read excerpts of his speech several days later. Heres part of what he said:
Something happened back here in Selma, Ala. Something happened in Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called ripples of hope all around the world. Something happened when a bunch of women decided they were going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing somebody elses laundry, looking after somebody elses children.
When [black] men who had Ph.D.s decided thats enough and were going to stand up for our dignity, that sent a shout across oceans so that my grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who grew up herding goats in a small village in Africa, could suddenly set his sights a little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a chance. . . .
So the Kennedys decided were going to do an air lift. Were going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.
This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great-great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves. But she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that, [in] the world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama, Jr., was born. So dont tell me I dont have a claim on Selma, Ala. Dont tell me Im not coming home to Selma, Ala.
Okay, so whats wrong with that? It all sounds goodbut is it?
Obama told his audience that because some folks had the courage to march across a bridge in Selma, Ala., his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is that Barack Obama, Jr., was born Aug. 4, 1961, while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didnt occur until March 7, 1965, almost four years after Obama was born.
Obama went on to tell his audience that the KennedysJack and Bobbydecided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barack Obama, Sr., to America.
The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So, if his African grandfather heard words that sent a shout across oceans, inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Obamas speech is reminiscent of Al Gores claim of having invented the Internet, Hillary Clintons claim of having been named after the first man to climb Mt. Everest (even though she was born five years and seven months before Sir Edmund climbed the mountain), and John Kerrys imaginary trip to Cambodia.
As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, We need to ask some very serious questions of the senator from Illinois. Its not enough to be black, its not enough to be articulate, and its not enough to be eloquent and a media darling. . . . The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how blind an eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince.
It appears that Sen. Barrack Hussein Obama is not the fresh face media sycophants like to describe him as. Hes just another in a long line of Democratic snake-oil salesmen.

~~PING!
Every indication out there is that Obama has something to hide - to wit: he is NOT eligible to be POTUS, he was NOT born in the US and he is a liar and usurper.
MANY of us here have raised these issues before and been flamed for them. It’s interesting to see that the more the DBM ignores them, the more interest they create.
. A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Departments no travel list in 1981.
Pakistan was on a “travel advisory” list in 1981, meaning the State Department didn't think it was safe. It was not on a “no travel” list.
It is little salient facts like these, that are actually NOT facts, passed around without comment or correction among the ‘birther’ or ‘natural born’ crowd that tend to make them observed as NOT SERIOUS commentators, but shills for anything that advances their agenda; true or not.
No doubt I will be attacked for making a valid correction. Such is life among the ‘natural birthers’. Pointing out facts that they don't want to hear makes one an “0-bot” or some such.
Sorry. But passing out easily dismissed lies as if they were true discredits you to any serious observer who knows the truth. Attacking those who point out to truth to you doubly discredits the movement.
I've read that no one in D.C. will ever remotely touch this issue, as it is presumed that if ANY challange to BHO's presidency actually arises in the public arena, that there will be utter anarchy in America, with race riots from coast to coast. Violence that cannot be contained, stretching on for many many many months.
Therefore, it doesn't matter what the TRUTH is about the Kenyan -- the Democrats knew they couldn't possibly win without the black vote, and all the rest is history.
Hopefully, what happens in 2010 will turn the tide in favor of an AMERICAN presidential candidate in 2012.
Somewhat related and hopefully not too far off topic, another video by the infamous Rev. manning.
He’s claiming to have been paid a visit by DHS agents, and expects to be arrested soon.

This is not a unreasonable thing to ask of someone running for President since being a "natural born citizen" of the US is a constitutional requirement for the job. It's not hateful, and it's not racist...it's constitutional.
Proving that you are should be an honor.
Yet he will not produce either. Why?
The longer it goes wityhout him doing this, the more insistent the demands for it will become. Obama cannot hide from proving his constitutional qualification once people in any numbers seriously doubt it.
BTW, under what conditions and with what financial aid did Obama attend college? And when he traveled to Pakistan while in college, under what conditions and what passport did he use to do so? Again, relatively simple things to put to rest...but they have not been put to rest. To the contrary, they've been covered up.
Reasonable people simply want to know why?
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
Only his hairdresser knows for sure.
He shows no signs of being a US citizen, even a naturalized one.
0bama's "core constituency" is far from the mainstrean of American society. If they choose not to be governed by the rule of law, then so be it. That's why we defend the 2nd Amendment.
I just finished a University paper on the subject. I think I have clearly answered the question. No he isn’t and never was a NBC.
I will publish a shorter version of that paper soon.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Fell apart right off the bat. Pakistan was not and never has been on any 'no travel' list issued by the State Department.
the more this story goes on,the worse it’ll get.and the President could havetoppedit alll with afew simple pieces of paper
