Obama Admits Childhood in Kenya

While on a plane, returning from Africa in 2006, Obama admitted he spent some of his childhood in Kenya.

Mathare is on the east side of Nairobi and has NO trains passing through it.

It's just evidence that Obama can't tell directions or geography. As Rush says, whenever he enters a room, he is always the least qualified person IN the room, and it doesn't matter what subject is being discussed.

That’s true, did Obama even proof read ‘Dreams from My Father’ after Ayers finished it?

[aruanan]

Even if as he claims, using his doctored COLB, he was born in Hawaii he was not born to 2 US Citizens as required by the Constitution.

The Constitution says he must be a natural born citizen. Others, such as the judge writing the Minor v Happersett decision, have said that, at the time the Constitution was written, it was understood by everyone that "natural born" meant born to two citizen parents. But the Constitution doesn't explicitly state this. A may very well mean B, but when someone says A, he cannot be said to be explicitly stating B.

The Kenyan Obama had one of his many “corpse-man” moment.

[DiogenesLamp]

The gun is smoking, yes.

But only because it’s a toy gun that has been placed in the oven.

And this man knows exactly whereof he speaks! He is an expert at half cooked ideas, and has much personal experience with "easy bake" ovens.

So, if the grammar is so poor, how reliably do you think you can interpret the intent of the sentence?

Your quibble is about a misspelled word: "Ironicall." Someone made a typo. A "Y" is missing. Either that, or Barack didn't have quick access to his teleprompter. He speaks like an idiot when it isn't scripted.

As for the grammar, it depends on the sentence. "Dog Hunt." is bad grammar, but the meaning is conveyed adequately.

That’s true, did Obama even proof read ‘Dreams from My Father’ after Ayers finished it?

Probably not. That's too much like work, which I think Barry is completely unfamiliar with.

The statement would be correct if Zero had ZERO childhood in Kenya. This guy needs a course in logic.

Sadly, that's a common failing among his ilk.

[aruanan]

So Barry says about Indonesia, "where ironical [sic] I have more of a childhood than I do in Kenya." This doesn't have to mean anything more than that "any portion of childhood time spent in Indonesia is more time than I spent in childhood in Kenya." If he had spent no time at all in Kenya as a child, the statement would still be true. The irony comes in that his father was Kenyan, but he, Barry, spent more time in Indonesia with this adopted father than he did in the country of his putative father, Barack Obama Sr.. It doesn't, though, mean he had to have spent any time there at all in his childhood.

[DiogenesLamp]

It doesn't, though, mean he had to have spent any time there at all in his childhood.

It is implied by the context. When one hasn't lived somewhere as a child, one doesn't mention that place they have never lived in the context of where one spent one's childhood.

I don't believe Barry actually lived there as a child, I believe he was massaging the rumor that he was from Kenya. Again, if I said I spent more of my childhood in America than I did in Russia, I am implying some degree of time in Russia, else I wouldn't have mentioned it at all.

It isn't a question of bad logic, it is a question of attempting to push a "Kenyan" narrative. This is often how attention seekers lie to get the attention they desperately crave. They embellish.

What a great campaign commercial this would be. Democrats try 8 times to allow an unqualified person to run for president.

What a loser of a campaign commercial that would be. Did you count the number of Republican co-sponsors on those resolutions?

Also, note that, at the time these resolutions were introduced, everybody assumed the Hildebeest would be the 2008 nominee. And, in any case, Obama didn't need such an amendment, having been born in Honolulu, making him every bit as eligible as Bill Ayers. The sponsers were just advocating expanding the talent pool to include the likes of Kissinger, Schwarzenegger, and Granholm (OK, I use the word talent loosely).

[Red Steel]

Hey Obama, run on a 2012 campaign plank that you were born in America.

I await the Epic Failure. LoL.

[TheBigJ]

Or it means Zero was born in Kenya from a mother who coincidentally disappears off the map in January 1961, not at University of HI, where is she? Where’d she and Sr. go holiday break? Out of wedlock age 18 to different race foreign national who’s already married. Sure that went over well in 1960 Hawaii. /sarcasm

She’s then enrolled in classes at Washington State early Sept. Meanwhile Barry raised for a while by “Granny” Sara, then picked up again by Stanley Ann Dunham and raised in Hawaii a year later (Sr. now at Harvard) as pics show him a year or two old. BOAC flights available taken advantage of by students for international travel.

“It’s just evidence that Obama can’t tell directions or geography.”

“57 states” - more evidence as well.

[Wurlitzer]

If you would have taken the time to notice, I also chastised the GOP for their failure to bring this up.

We are being sold down the river by both parties.

Why would the GOP WANT bHo to remain in office? Why are they silent? Why are the Tea Party members silent.

Something stinks to high heaven here and we are all getting screwed.

[Dakkster]

“where ironicall I have more of a childhood than I do in Kenya.”

This statement is so vague and confusing that I think Frank Marshall Davis Jr. can’t even keep his phony 1995 ‘Dreams from My Fatehr’ narrative straight.

[STARWISE]

"Obama's next big international journey will be in 2007r--he's looking at China, India and Indonesia, ``where ironicall(y) I actually have more of a childhood than I do in Kenya."

[Fred Nerks]

He means the real BHO had a childhood in Kenya. He’s covering all the bases just in case the real story gets out. He can’t keep track of the lies/stories/who’s really who etc.

Which came first I wonder? Malik (Roy) Abongo Obama spilling the beans about 'growing up with Barack and playing with him in the village...' (paraphrased)...or zero suddenly remembering his 'childhood in Kenya'?

Malik let a huge cat out of the bag with THAT one, but no one appears to have noticed.

[little jeremiah]

Those who should notice don’t want to. Those who do notice are told right here on FR that it’s a dead issue, we’re nuts, the DoH documents that Zero has displayed are accurate, the media won’t touch it so we should move on, we’re the weirdos, etc.

[Fred Nerks]

..sadly, you are correct.
