Did I just lose some brain matter, or did the Obama's Fact Check website, aka "Fight the Smears," retract the "Here is his birth certificate" statement?
I could swear that this statement used to precede the image .
Am I wrong? Did anyone else note the change?
The way the page is now, there is no lead-in line to the image.
BTW, I have a new post today explaining the possible reasons for blacking out certificate number.
Obama's website says the following:
"Barack Obama Is Not and Has Never Been a Muslim," followed by: "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim."
I have a few questions for Obama's campaign and anyone inerested in researching Obama's background...which when considering him for the President of the United States, we as voters in this Republic have a de facto responsibility to do when any questions arise.
From that article:
I was a little Jakarta street kid, he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics and more likely to be aware of their nationalism if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.
Come to prayer. Come to prayer.
Come to Success. Come to Success.
Allah is Most Great. Allah is Most Great.
There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.
From that article:
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng explained to Jodi Kantor of the New York Times: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim." An Indonesian publication, the Banjarmasin Post reports a former classmate, Rony Amir, recalling that "All the relatives of Barry's father were very devout Muslims."
Barack Obama's Catholic school in Jakarta.
The Catholic school: Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
The public school: Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times learned from Indonesians familiar with Obama when he lived in Jakarta that he "was registered by his family as a Muslim at both schools he attended."
Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his aspirations to be President.
If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?
The answer is plain...we can't. His own shifting stances on the issues, his own willful associations for decades with virulent anti-Americans and then his attempts to hide from those associations all atest to this.
Obama should just put a “kick me “ sign on himself. What a doofus.
The mother of all swiftboats will break here. Stay tuned.
damn, blabber mouthed women. how amI ever gonna get to be prez. with them runnin their mouths all the time?
Does he consider Iran's push to build nukes, "inactionable intelligence?"
He keeps saying that the Muslim clerics in Iran are more powerful than President "I'm-in-a-jihad," but the last time I checked, they weren't in charge of enriching uranium.
“So Barack; is there something wrong with being a Muslim?”
According to his website, merely being called a Muslim is a “smear.”
He said it, I didn’t.
"Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness". Please.
If you know someting I want on THAT ping list! :oP
You are on the wrong page. Are you plugged in?
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/
About in the middle of the page is a hotlink:
You can see his birth certificate here
“The mother of all swiftboats will break here. Stay tuned.”
Greetings old friend.
Can we expect some fireworks for the 4th from your part of the world?
Obama wanted so badly not to be thought of as a Muslim that he dragged out Jeremiah Wright and said “see I r Christian, this is my main man” lol. It shows you what the Obama camp thinks of being lumped in with Islam when they tried to run cover by bringing in Mr G-Damn America. : )
:)
I show same thing- it’s on the MAIN page just not on the page that shows the document.
Is it going to “break” on FR? If so will the MSM even pick up on it?
\ It will be bigger than Watergate
