Obama in 1980 said he was born in Mombasa, Kenya
>> a chance meeting in the vicinity of Kalakaua Blvd., one evening in early August of 1980.
The former Marine is a highly respected member of the Free-Republic online-community>>
"We spoke of where I had been and the world as I saw it. I told him I had been to Africa, Mombassa specifically, and he said to me abruptly, I was born there.

>>I cant prove it, no one was with me, but I DID meet a young Mulatto male in 1980 about 1 1/2 months after I got back from deployment to Iran, while stationed in Hawaii.
He told me he was raised in Indonesia, had family in Hawaii and the mainland, his views on America were outragous but I dont remember any details, just the emotion. He was friendly enough, talkative.
And when I started telling him where I had been in the Corps for foreign countries, I told him I was just in Mombassa he interrupted me and said I WAS BORN THERE.
I cant prove who I saw, I cant remember his name at all, I have no recollection of his name at all, but I vaguely remember his face and it is Obama.
I remember that face.
I remember this event because I went back to the barracks to get people to gather their scrap books to go back to Honolulu to show him pictures of Mombassa so he could see where he was born.
Born in Mombassa, Raised in Indonesia, Living in Hawaii in1980, Mulatto kid about 18 or so...Robert Redford?<<

How has waiting more than 2 years to go open given your story credibility that it would have lacked should you have alerted interested parties when you 1st discovered the Kenyan was attempting to usurp the POTUS eligibility requirements?
I've read enough of your posts to doubt it's a fear of broaching a controversial subject to your peers that would belay offering information that you feel is critical to our national security.
Because I cant prove it
Also, I never released it publically, even the first time, as any news flash or secret information, I can’t proveit, so, who is going to listen to me? What good could I have really done?
You only heard about it first because I was taking a college class, told the professor about people I met in the Corps and she told me to write it out
I sent the first or seconddraft out to personal friends, one was NY GOE, he posted it online, added a pic of me in 1981 and then it got posted here.
That radio show 2 days ago is the first national radio show I ever aid anything on, the only other one was a blog talk radio show 2 weeks ago
I had nothing to add to th argument that had any real merit, just a he said/she said
I also was prominent in the Tea Party movement in my state, any attention to me would have brought serious attention to them if I spoke up.
If I became a national figure for saying something, the entire tea party movement would have been attached to it, moreso than they are now.
What you did say was "...hadnt been to the mainland of America for any long time period if at all." Are we going to argue semantics?
I can't prove whether you were right or wrong. Just point out that there appear to be some holes in your story.
what you think is a hole is too easily swept away
You either know nothing of college or assume too much knowlege you cant prove yourself
yes, apparently you ARE arguing semantics
when all you read is a headline, you tend to not understand the article
I graduated from two of them myself. That should give me some understanding.
...or assume too much knowlege you cant prove yourself.
I'm quoting you and pointing out where other evidence seems to contradict you. Sorry if that is proving uncomfortable.
But another question if I may. You described him as "...a young man, Mulatto, about 18, all teeth, smiling, skinny, short hair..." What tipped you off that he was mulatto?
Then if we are, most people would consider 'never' and 'if ever' used in that context to be synonymous.
Here are the actual words from Race Bannon’s original post on Gathering of Eagles blog:
“...on board the USS Okinawa in 1980 when we were heading to Iran. My ship was part of the 31st Marine Amphibious Unit, deployed in January 1980 from Pearl Harbor as normal, and once in Subic Bay, Philippines, President Jimmy Carter announced what is now called, ‘The Carter Doctrine’.”
No, they wouldn’t and ‘experts like you’ who claim to be so good at debunking must surely be able to see that being at Occidental College ISNT a vast experience of America, especially when the only other place hes been to is Hawaii
If you think Occidental College and Hawaii means he has been to a lot of places, then you are dumber than you act.
Oh, I dont know, maybe the color of his skin? His speech? His hair? Since by that time in my life I had been to 13 different countries or so, I think I would be able to know where someone was from a lot more than someone like you who still held up Farrah Fawcett posters with one hand in your momma’s basement.
wow? 2
me, too
got any more relevant points I can show you where you’re wrong on?
Cuz logic and language comprehension seems to be your weak point.
me too SOON, I left out the word SOON
If you think two years in LA means "...hadnt been to the mainland of America for any long time period if at all..." then you are as well.
Then by all means bring your 'relevant points' on.
you’re right, we always know that living in Jarkarta for 5 times longer than that means less....
An embellishment that might make for a better story?
