The article lists no source for this information, except their own paper. Yet people here are screaming treason and prison. It appears I am the one NOT going bonkers on this thread. And USUALLY here at FR, a source for a story is demanded. That is, of course, if the story is critical of conservatives.
Wasn’t Obama on Al-Arabiya TV bragging about his Indonesian ties the other night??
Oh...yes, yes he was!
Still think Texas should annex Mexico and move the border to the Red.
I saw that a second ago.
Obama’s ‘dear Ahmanutjob’ letter...lol
I don’t know what to do other than laugh right now and perhaps drag my duct tape and 5 ply plastic sheeting out!
We are doomed. Every evil leader in the world is playing Obama’s fiddle now because they know he is WEAK!!
It says they have an exclusive coming out soon. Why don’t you calm down and wait for it?
I gave a source..you have the link. Take it or leave it. it was posted in good faith.
FYI
Didn’t he deny this during the election when rumors first surfaced?
“The article lists no source for this information, except their own paper.”
I suppose that all of the anonymous sources from the NYT is perfectly ok with you though? I never see the NYT revealing ‘sources’...do you?
Get a grip.

Islam DEMANDS submission (loss of liberty and freedom) or else payment of the head tax to islam masters before death.
Barry surrendered
Thanks Barry!
Yep!
Now we have a US President potentially sending ‘secret signals’ to AQ! So I guess we have to get ‘friendly’ ex CIA folks to start watching Obama’s ‘press releases’...as well as Al Qaeda’s...lol
It’s starting to look like an episode of 24!!
LOL...maybe now we know why Hussein wanted to keep his Blackberry...maybe OBL text messages him! ;0)
Anybody can say it, but nobody will ever prosecute anyone for a violation.
BTW if this story pans out, this is much worse than a Logan Act violation. This means that Obama was negotiating with terrorists before he became president.
LOL!!
‘XOXOXOXOXO..love ya much BO!’
‘Back at u OB’
I wonder if he could beat a Logan Act rap just based on AQ not being a “nation”. I’m sure he’d also claim the negotiations were IN our best interests.
But it’s a moot point.
No one has compelled him to produce proof of his place of birth, so who would prosecute him for this?
I guess we now know why our Muslim enemies were pumping so many illegal campaign contributions into his coffers.
For some reason, I think we may be the only ones that care and I think the MSM will leave out that it was illegal. Nobody’s listening anymore.
The source of this article will be vetted in the days to come. If this is true, it’s a powder keg.
