Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate (Archived 2004)

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

Excellent.

For your peeps. There is a difference in posts of blam, who posted this in 2006. Tanker post is the same but when you go to the news site the term “Kenyan Born” has been excised.

It appears from the script it was republished in 2008. Maybe someone who reads script more than me can confirm. I do web hosting but I is the seller. I gots technical people who do this stuff but, this is not their job.

LOL

If only her were inaudible.

Her, like Michelle?

Or is your illiterate kettle calling my spelling pot black, or what?

Obama supporters lack the mental acumen to learn anything beyond the point that they “like” and “trust” him.

Maybe MLO stands for “Must Love Obama”. Nahh...Well just a thought.

In 2004 he was only running for Senator, in 2006 he had aspirations for the White House. Let the cover-up begin.

Or, perhaps, the first reporter had his facts wrong. One of the two Eastern Standard reporters has their facts wrong. That much is for certain.

I always wondered why many claimed Ann could not have given birth in Kenya in 1961. IT WAS 1961...women traveled with their husbands, especially newlyweds.

Why would Stanley Ann travel to Kenya, a third world country she'd never been to before just to give birth all the while making sure that birth notices were planted in Hawaiian newspapers?

Sure.... It could've happened. Sure.... You gotta suspend a lot of disbelief to be a birther.

The black senator who could challenge Hillary

By Alex Massie in Washington
(Filed: 06/10/2006)

A black senator with only two years in office has emerged as the outstanding star of the Democrats’ campaign for next month’s mid-term elections.

Senator Barack Obama is bringing hope to Democrats

Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination.

hey blam, lookie lookie - the article you posted has been edited!

[Lady Jag]

Thank you. There’s a ton of stuff here!

[mlo]

"Her, like Michelle?"

I know, ruined my joke. :-)

"Or is your illiterate kettle calling my spelling pot black, or what?"

Not making fun of your spelling, just taking the opportunity to make a joke. My typo kind of spoiled it.

[TruthWillWin]

A more reasonable view would be that a reporter made a simple assumption when Obama's history was much less well known. Especially since there is no evidence to confirm it.

Confirm it? Any day now Barry is going to come up with the $15-20 to get a copy of COLB to confirm his Hawaiian birth.

Does it bother you that Barry has not done this so far?

Too much of a question on this whole thing to be as dismissive as some are.
What are you hiding BHO???????????

[Vendome]

I sent that and some thought to LucyT 10 minutes ago.

I think it is post 191? Looking using a different tool.

Be back

"Does it bother you that Barry has not done this so far?"

Since he has done that, no.

[IrishPennant]

Absolutely incredible thread.

We march...soon.

If you share my feelings in heart, prepare your homes...Prepare your prodigy to hallow your name...prepare your soul to give all to those yet to be. For history may, or may not, recant it in myth-like stories for those that come after you.

And if they do not recall, does it make the success of our efforts any less valid or any less grand in what we carry aloft to and for our belief in God and country?

The tipping point is neigh...and I shall relish it...regardless of my individual fate. The fate of our country, and my legacy's country lies in the balance. Stand with me or not, support me and my compatriots, for we defend all...and you, my FRiend. (IrishPennant - 2009).

[LucyT]

Well, look at that! Thank you.

Good find.

That's amazing:

"Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party's presidential nomination.

Another scenario sees him as Mrs Clinton's running mate, raising the possibility of a first female president and first black vice-president in one fell swoop in 2008.

"Someone in his camp sprung it on him in ‘03 that he was illegible."

Now illegible he may be. Can't argue with that. If only her were inaudible. That would be cool.

I'm all for excoriating misspellers and grammar butchers, but you went first in this attack, thus you are on the defensive.

I picked it up from your comment, wanted a clickable link so Lucy could ping it...
