This is an excellent article about character
Bump to the top.
What was it Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr once said about dreaming of an America where “one was judged not by the color of his skin, but the content of his character”?
Before January 20 of this year, Barack Obama had a negligible public record. He burst onto the national scene what seemed like five minutes before his election to the presidency: a first-term U.S. senator who actually served less than four years in that post — after a short time as a state legislator, some shadowy years as a “community organizer,” and scholastic terms at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard that remain shrouded in mystery. The primary qualification supporters offered for Obama’s candidacy was his compelling life story, as packaged in 850 pages’ worth of the not one but two autobiographies this seemingly unaccomplished candidate had written by the age of 45.
Yet we now know that this life story is chock full of fiction. Typical and disturbing, to take just one example, is the entirely fabricated account in Dreams from My Father of Obama’s first job after college:...
Its about the honesty of the media as well. They love to scream “Racist republican birthers” yet conveniently omit mentioning Phil Berg, Alan Keyes, and Roger Calero. They also fore go mentioning that the same demands were made of John McCain and he quickly complied.
If the media were honest enough to mention those other facts, they would have little choice but to ask some critical questions of Obama.
Indeed. I wonder now whether the whole big hoopla over the use of his middle name in the campaign wasn’t just a demonstration to see if his “machine” could be successful in keeping people from probing into all these other personal aspects of “The One”. They knew then, as we are learning now, that his past life is cloudy at best, and flat-out disqualifying at worst. They may have figured if they could control information until after he was elected,it wouldn’t matter anymore. Done deal.
Had Obama been born in Iolani Palace it would have no bearing on the constitutional question of his eligibility. Obama is not eligible to hold the office of President of the United States. He is not now the lawful President.
By Obama’s own admission his father was an alien. Obama’s father was a British subject at the time of his son’s birth on August 4, 1961; Obama’s father became a citizen of Kenya upon the occasion of Kenyan independence; and Obama’s father never became a citizen of the United States.
By Obama’s own admission he held dual citizenship until his twenty-first birthday. Obama held Kenyan citizenship through his father and American citizenship through his mother.
By Obama’s own admission he was required by Kenyan law to accept or reject Kenyan citizenship upon reaching the age of majority.
By Obama’s own admission, in obedience to Kenyan law, he elected to renounce his Kenyan citizenship on his twenty-first birthday, August 4, 1982. Having renounced this foreign allegiance Obama became, by default, a citizen of the United States alone.
Obama is not a citizen of the United States by nature. He did not inherit his American citizenship at birth from two citizen parents. The Constitution of the United States expressly establishes this condition as a qualification for the office of President of the United States. “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President.”
Obama IS NOT a natural born citizen.
Obama is a citizen of the United States by law. He renounced a competing allegiance to a foreign state as required by the laws of that foreign state in order to become, exclusively, a citizen of the United States.
Obama IS a naturalized citizen.
The result of the election of 2008 was defective. The candidate for President who received the highest number of votes was and is constitutionally disqualified. An unlawful tenure of the Presidency, regardless of its duration, can not serve to legitimize it.
Upon a second reading, this really deserves everyone’s attention and BTTT.
Probably the most succinct summary of the birth certificate issue, as well as other details of BHOs life and deceptions.
I’ve always found that a person who lies when it really doesn’t matter will tell some real whoppers when it does!
“How many Americans know, for example, that as a sitting U.S. senator in 2006, Obama interfered in a Kenyan election, publicly ripping the incumbent government (a U.S. ally) for corruption while he was its guest and barnstorming with his preferred candidate: a Marxist now known to have made a secret agreement with Islamists to convert Kenya to sharia law, and whose supporters, upon losing the election, committed murder and mayhem, displacing thousands of Kenyans and plunging their country into utter chaos?”
How many FReepers knew this?
How can you be? You have no PROOF!! In fact, his Kenyan grandmother unequivocally states she remembers well the date and exact spot he was born. You go to great lengths to prove the grandmothers honesty, then dismiss her allegations as to Soerto's birthplace?
You must get terrible migraines from your brain cells fighting against themselves.
The Birther's want Obozo to PROVE he is a natural born citizen. It is precisely because of all the lies and deception surrounding Obozo that this question be satisfied.
The COLB that Obama produced is NOT proof of being born in Hawaii, it is only proof of being born- somewhere. It does NOT state he was born in Hawaii, it only states the COLB was applied for and issued in Hawaii. ANYONE could get a COLB in Hawaii at the time, regardless of where they were born, or even a citizen of the USA. It is merely a certificate that is required for "residents" in Hawaii to produce if applying for things like welfare, or "foodstamps" to feed a family. You can't just claim you have 6 kids when you walk into the foodstamp store, or whereever it is that foodstamps and government cheese are handed out.
In my opinion:
Yes. Obama’s failure to reveal the BC is more telling than the Clinton's failure to reveal whatever he is hiding.
It would seem Obama is hiding something his BC would reveal, something damaging even if it doesn't make him ineligible. Of course the Clintons would have gotten that information out during the election if they could have. They couldn't for some reason which, like the info on the BC, is unknown to us. But that in itself doesn't mean there's nothing to reveal.
BTTT - and for later reading ...
Let us stipulate, for the moment, that the real, vault-copy of the birth certificate clearly shows the man known as barack obama was born in a hospital in Honolulu.
Then why is he so afraid to release this document for public awareness and the historical record? I believe there is a very simple, straight-forward answer for that which is shown on the birth certificate that is “embarrassing” to Obama and his campaign operatives. How many votes did Obama receive from Blacks and Guilty-White Liberals for no other reason than they could feel good because they would be voting for the “First Black President”. I contend the number would be millions, probably the winning plurality that put him in office.
Now go back in time to last summer 2008, a few months prior to the election. What if the campaign had actualy released the real birth certificate to the public? Remember, Obama’s mother was White and his father was partially Black and Arab. It would not be unreasonable if the birth certificate indicates baby Obama as “Caucasion”. If so, then the seemingly relentless campaign to keep the birth certificate out of the public eye makes sense. Conservatives assumed he was trying to get past a constitutional requirement. But what if he was simply trying to hide his official race because his campaign narrative of his election being “historical” would have been negated and rendered untrue?
Or lack of good character. And that's, at minimum, why the BC issue is important. It provides yet another window into who or what obama is. He hides his BC, something real Americans, regardless of where they are born, often must provide for situations much less important than the Presidency or Presidential credibility. Why??
His followers, in or out of the closet, here or elsewhere, do their best to spin this into anything but what it is. It's not about racism, it's about character, honesty and certainly it's about the Constitution. Wake up! Snap out of the trance!
So there’s something “fishy” about Obama ???

Great article for those on this forum and elsewhere who mock the birthers.
