An AP photo that recently surfaced showing Barack Obama registered for school as an Indonesian citizen of the Muslim religion provides tangible evidence for some of the claims made by author Jerome Corsi in his best-selling book, "The Obama Nation."
"The Associated Press document provides additional evidence suggesting the Obama campaign's insistence that Obama was never trained in Islam and he never lived as a Muslim is not accurate," author and WND staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi said.
"Moreover, the document indicated that Obama may have been an Indonesian citizen when he lived there," Corsi continued. "This is an issue the Obama rebuttal fails to address at all, evidently conceding the accuracy of the claim."
Corsi discusses these school registration documents on pages 50-52 of "The Obama Nation."
The existence of the school registration was first revealed on the Internet by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" on Jan. 24, 2007.
Since then, the issue has been widely discussed, but without the documentary proof the Associated Press photo has now provided.
Corsi told WND that until the AP photo surfaced, he did not have in his possession a copy of the original.
In the 40-page rebuttal to "The Obama Nation" issued last week by Obama's presidential campaign, the "reality" asserted by the campaign was the school registration only listed the religion of the father, implying the registration established nothing about the religion of Barack Obama, then known as Barry Soetoro.
"The Obama rebuttal misses the point in claiming my statements about the school registration are a lie," Corsi said. "It is clearly true that the 'An American Expat in Southeast Asia' blog did state the registration listed Obama as an Indonesian citizen and a Muslim. That is not a lie."
"Now that we have the AP photo, we see the

Go to WND to get a look at the registration.
Am I guilty of piling on after Obama's terrible performance last night??
Since its the AP coughed up the photo, then we must suspect the Hidden Hand of Hillary in its appearance.
Are you guilty of self-interestnessosity?
I see that Vice-President potential Bayh is whining before he even gets chosen that Corsi’s Book is all McCain’s fault. When will the Democrats grow up and deal with issues instead of looking for someone else for help.
Hardly presidential material being shown here by the Democrats.

“””In response, Bayh defended Obama’s performance and hit out at McCain for running a negative campaign. Specifically, Bayh took issue with the presumptive Republican nominee not denouncing Jerome Corsi’s book “The Obama Nation,” which is harshly critical of the Democratic lawmaker.
“I deeply regret the negative tone that too often creeps into American politics,” he said, “and I wish that Sen. McCain would take the opportunity to denounce this scurrilous book that’s come out against Barack Obama, making all sorts of lies and allegations against him. The old John McCain would denounce that. The new John McCain has embraced those kinds of tactics. That is unfortunate. We don’t need that in politics today.”””””
no,

Hawaii Senator Apologizes for Suggesting Obamas High School Was Elitist

Shame on Danny for trying to pull that stunt, Obama said. I went to Punahou on a scholarship.

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 [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at

I forget which FReeper posted this comment on an Obama/Corsi posting, but it was so good that I copied it so others could read. Whoever you are that wrote this-—thanks.
“””So Obama activates a 24/7 War Room in full crisis mode to attack a book. Meanwhile, Russia attacks one country and threatens nuclear war against another and Obama plays on the beach. That tells you all you need to know.””””
If the Dems are smart, they’ll use this to dump the Messiah right now. I think even blacks won’t go for him once they realize that he’s virtually a foreigner.
I had a friend years ago who used to refer to himself as an “MBB” - ‘Merican Black Boy. He just meant that he was an average, normal American of African background, with all the good experiences and bad experiences that went with it. Barry is not now and never has been an MBB, and trying to sell him as one is cynical and dishonest. On top of that, it’s beginning to unravel before our very eyes.
You know (to use her rhetorical flourish), the fact that she’s got a roll call vote set up for the convention really blows me away. I can’t believe he allowed her to do that, well actually she had every right to do it and there wasn’t anything he could do to stop her. All it takes now is one political hydrogen bomb and the nomination is hers. Will it happen? Will the biggest political event of the young century happen in a week or two? Stay tuned boys and girls, same bat time, same bat channel.
Shame on Barry for calling a Medal of Honor winner Danny.
More interesting is what he's doing now.
Recall, last night he wasn't able to tell us when a "baby" should receive "human rights". He didn't even say "at birth" ~ and all that does is validate his effort to derail human rights for babies newly born in Illinois.

Corsi can’t credibly accused of being a Bush-Cheney-McCain agent. In fact, he’s called for Bush’s impeachment.

Scholarship or not, it was a snooty school
Some geneology expert claims he is Arab-American. So if thats true, its going to bust the myth, just like the Edwards is the father of the year myth.
I am glad I am not the only one who thought this was strange . It matters not one's politics , given Senator Obama's callowness it is beyond impudence for him to refer to Senator Inouye in that manner . Even more it reveals he does not grasp such a basic American ideal as respect for distinguished veterans .
BTW, folks with a y chromosome with Middle Eastern origins includes, ta-ta-ta-daaa, Thomas Jefferson!
The history of the West includes agriculturalists from the Middle East moving North and West.
