When did he (if he ever did) register with the SSS?
“Holds both American and Kenyan (since 1963) citizenship.”
What happened to his Indonesian citizenship?
Don’t tease us. Post the link.
I am sick of the idiots in this Country that listen to anything that rips at the fundamental fabric of America.
Meanwhile Putin is on the move to bring back the USSR and the idiots here just say “change”.
Good Lord help us.
I just came across this...it is quite long, so I won’t post it here, but it covers many different possibilities. Maybe someone with legal experience could check it out.
One thing that caught my attention:
He has never explicitly renounced his Kenyan Citizenship and is therefore a Dual Citizen and almost certainly ineligible for the Presidency of the USA. Also Under the British Nationality Act 1948 Barack Hussein Obama, Jr, was born a British Subject since his father held a British Passport and was a Subject of the British Crown. His place of Birth and the Nationality of his mother would be irrelevant since, at that time, British Nationality was transmitted via the father. The only factor that would invalidate this would be that his parents were not legally married. If, in fact, his father Registered his Birth in Mombasa it would provide bona fide evidence that Barack Hussein Obama, Snr, intended his son to have British, or Kenyan, and not US Citizenship. If he did the legitimacy clause in the 1948 Act would cease to apply. Subsequently Barack Senior became a Kenyan Citizen (at Kenyan Independence) and, according to Kenyan Law so did his son, if his Birth was Registered in Mombasa. There would also appear to be evidence that his mother acquired Indonesian Nationality when she married his stepfather and that he did too.
Quit smoking?? I heard he still indulges in tobacco. I guess the media doesn’t want to make that widely known, either. The ObamaMessiah blazing up makes him subject to “harming the children” charges and “in bed with Big Tobacco”.
All that matter is.......was he born in the United States? All this kenya, Indonesia, British fluff doesn’t mean anything if he was born in Hawaii.
?????????????
This is new to me ... Another Cassius Clay/Mohamad Ali ?
Obama may have one of those too.
Remember, he spoke in Berlin of being a "World citizen."
What senate records have disappeared?
No it doesn't- "Allah" is not Arabic for 'god' Allah is the Islamic gods NAME. "ilah" is the Arabic word for 'god".
"Barak" (no c) means "to bless" or "blessing". There is no "by a god' anywhere in his name.
Hussien means "good looking" or "handsome". If anything his name is something a conceited person would call himself.
For it to mean blessed by (allah) it would be something like Barak abdallah (blessed slave of Allah) or Barak Abdilah (blessed slave of ilah (god))
Obama...Does he pledge allegence to the flag of Kenya or the USA? Where is his heart?
Lolo Soetoro.
“It’s near impossible to look into any of this stuff. Seems the web has undergone some serious scrubbing! There are lots of “dark” pages out there.”
Yes. Kind of like looking for the British Imam video about how ‘they’ are ‘going to turn the WHite House into the Black House’ or Mansoor Ijaz’s statements on how he briefed Bill AND HILLARY about Osama Bin Laden in Sudan & Sudan’s offer to hand Bin Laden over to the US. Ijaz’ testimony went behind closed doors during the whole 9/11 charade testimony with Gorelick present & preventing truth.
He quit but has admitted to restarting, although much less frequently, in recent months. (And the photo of him with a cigarette dangling from his lip is a photoshop. I’ve seen posted on many forums the original and the photoshop side-by-side. They not only added the cigarette, they darkened him quite a bit.)
They are hoping the Republicans drop the shoe; that way their hands are clean. If the Republicans don’t, they will, and try to make it look like the Republicans did; that way their hands are clean.
Remember how the MSM touted the Goron’s “genius” when he ran against Bush...what a joke that turned out to be.
Maybe he will pick up an authentic, certified copy of his birth certificate while he is on vacation in Hawaii.
Dual citizenship? Granholm (Mi Gov) has dual citizenship and that’s why she could never run for Pres..Well that and the fact she was born in Canada. Canada allows dual citizenship but does US?
