Shocking Development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: "My husband was born in Hawaii & adopted

I am waiting for a denial from the campaign . . . . waiting . . . . The longer it takes, the better the chances that it is real, and they don’t know whether there is a recording of the call.

I think that my original assertion that Obama changed his name to a Muslim version while in college is still probably correct.

Wow. I never even thought of that, but you could really be on to something.

“In a word no,Indonesia does not allow duel citizenship,in order for him to be an Indonesian citizen his American status was rescinded or never existed at all.”

I guess that is the real point, but could his host have lied about his American citizenship? I think he had citizenship with Kenya and that was easy to denounce.

Several times lately, when I hit "Post Reply," I get sent to the top of the page instead and can't post.

That's been happening to me for a while, too. I thought I was banned for a minute. LOL

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

The phone number they ask to call matches the one on their homepage: 004793299739

Has anyone attempted to call yet?

NEW YORK: Chairman Senate Muhammadmian Soomro may be having a friend in White House if Barak Hussain Obama finally succeeds in his presidential bid.
Hardly a few people know about Soomro's link with Obama, which he never discussed it in public. But in private interactions with influential Pakistanis here in the US, Obama disclosed that Soomro's father was his host when he went on a hunting expedition in Jacobabad during his visit to Pakistan in 1981.
While in Karachi, Obama had stayed at the residence of his college friend, Hassan Chandio. In Jacobabad, he was the guest of Soomro family. Muhammadmian Soomro confirmed this information and said it was his first meeting with Obama.
"Yes, he had been our guest and spent three days in Jacobabad," he told The News. Soomro, presently in the US, his second home, said an American friend had told his father, Ahmadmian Soomro, about Obama's arrival in Pakistan and asked him to look after the American. Soomro's father was the deputy speaker of West Pakistan Assembly and had also later served in the Senate.
Ahmadmian Soomro had also served in banking industry and was considered a pioneer in cooperative banking. By the time Soomro's father had hosted Obama, he was only a college student who went to Pakistan on his way from Indonesia where his mother was working with the Ford Foundation's micro credit finance project. Also Obama's mother was a frequent traveller to Pakistan and according to Time Magazine, she had a little bit proficiency in speaking Urdu.
When Soomro was asked about the person who referred Obama to his father, he said he nowadays lived in some country in South America. He was, however, reluctant to disclose his identity, saying he will have to seek permission from that man before giving his profile.
Although, Obama has not disclosed his link with Soomro, he mentioned it during his canvassing campaign while talking to a Pakistani American, Shahid Ahmad Khan, member of Board of Trustees Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
The Θbama campaign told reporters that his trip to Pakistan in 1981 took him to Karachi and Hyderabad which would make it seem he was on the periphery of the country. Now, it seems Θbama went at least 300 miles north of Karachi to Jacobabad (named after Colonial British General who fought in 19th century Afghan campaign). This puts Θbama with 150-200 miles of where Osama bin Laden in Quetta! Isn't this worth a mention in any of his books or speeches? He seems to have been forced to disclose his trip because of news about a passport database breach in the State Dept.
The year 1981 is notable because Reagan was sworn in and the American hostages in Iran were released almost simultaneously. Θbama was in a country that was under martial law until 1985 and was adjacent to two countries in civil turmoil. Yet NOT ONE WORD about his trip until his disclosure in April of 2008.

"No, he would not have lost his US birthright that way."
Technically he keeps his birthright, he could get citizenship back, but his status would be that of a NATURALIZED citizen, and Obama knows this, AND being a Lawyer, knows that he is constitutionally ineligible for POTUS, its why he refuses to release his records.

[Danae]

"f born in Hawaii, Obama qualifies. Even if he was granted Indonesian citizenship as a minor -- so long as he rejected his Indonesian citizenship upon reaching his majority..."
Technically incorrect. Upon return to the US, his Immigration Status would have changed to Naturalized Citizen, same as my Canadian Grandparents when they immigrated to the US, and AHaaanold, the Gov. of California. They could not have run for POTUS either.

I can’t do international Calls. If I could I would! I want to know if there is a recording of that call.

UPDATE:

A little after midnight, I had an extensive conversation with Philip Berg about the African Press International piece, most of which was off-the-record. While he did not downplay the article, he said that its contents were under “cautious consideration” and planned to take steps to independently verify the statements from Michelle Obama purported to have been made to the organization. If the statements were indeed truly said and can be verified as such by audiotape or the like, Berg said that they were devastating for the Illinois senator’s cause in the lawsuit currently pending in federal court in Philadelphia.

“If she did say these things, and listen, I can’t say whether or not these statements were made up, then it solidifies the arguments I’ve been making for months now,” Berg said, acknowledging that the African Press International article was suspect. “If these statements turn out to be valid, then she admitted that he truly was adopted by his stepfather in Indonesia and therefore cannot be eligible for the presidency.”

Personally, I still don’t buy it. It just doesn’t add up. If Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter wanted to vent to someone in the media, would she call the people at The Daily Kos?

Think about it. The media is about as friendly to Barack Obama and his candidacy as they could be toward a presidential candidate and campaign without the need for a prophylactic, and still Michelle Obama is being physically prevented from even talking with Katie Couric, the friendliest of the friendlies. Why in the world would she call a fly-by-night Web site like African Press International, which has been very unfriendly toward her husband, and expect any sort of journalistic integrity? Why would she say the things she purportedly said?

It just doesn’t add up, people. It just doesn’t add up.

It just doesn’t add up, people. It just doesn’t add up.

The API piece (even if Mrs. Obama is actually being quoted) could be a trap for hotheads that might say something unpleasant. Wait and see.

I should have put quotes around the whole thing, it’s from america’s right.

I think considering everything, I can’t believe that michelle would be so stupid. It could very well be a trap by the obamamessiahites.

[machogirl]

If they stand by it, and have a recording or copies of the reporters notes, it sure would be nice.

Hopeful Bump

Regarding point 2 - I think that, if nObama became an Indonesian citizen upon his adoption, his American citizenship would have to have been revoked because, from what I’ve read elsewhere, Indonesia doesn’t recognize dual citizenship. Therefore, upon his return to this country, nObama would have to go through the citizenship process thereby making him a naturalized citizen and no longer a native born citizen. Can anyone confirm this?

From AfricaNews.com “Why are we wary of Obama victory”?

Not everyone in kenya wants obama to win.

We never expected Monica to be telling the truth either now did we?

It makes sense though. Its just confirmation of what we already know, what makes it DIFFERENT is that its coming from someone inside Obama’s inner circle, with no degrees of separation. Michele is a hothead. I can see her saying these things. As to fly by night, the site appears as legit if not more so than Drudge back in the 1990’s. She likely did not expect that it would make US press or news, and likely didn't THINK about the ramifications of what she was saying. Her quotes are pretty angry sounding, and Racist.
I don't know, I am just waiting for Confirmation from US News outlets, and as Berg says, he is being “Cautious”. I have to agree with that. Mostly because I don't think anyone wants ANYONE getting inflamed over this, Obama should be immediately disqualified. But we DO NOT need Race Riots. This is Napalm and lit matches we could be playing with.... Everyone is being REAL careful with it.

To the New York Times and other news agencies monitoring Free Republic:

The African Press Association (API) ( http://africanpress.wordpress.com/ ) is standing by the Michelle Obama interview they have published.

Quoting API: "We find it important that our readers get the truth and not be misled in any way. This is a true story and we stand by everyone written."

Link to the API article:

I believe that if you are responsible journalists, you will follow up on the story and report to the American public.

Thank you!
