Article in Nairobi Paper June 2004 - Barack born in Africa
American Daughter ^ | Thursday, October 15th, 2009 | Nancy Matthis

An ongoing poll by AOL News currently shows that 58% of Americans have doubts about Obama’s citizenship. The poll was started on July 28 and continues — you can go here to vote. And lest you think that this survey is being conducted in a very anti-Obama venue, the title of the article is Birthers, Beer and Stuck on ‘Stupidly’ — it is an environment contemptuous of skeptics. So we can conclude that the results of their poll are not what they were hoping for.

A scant five years ago, Barack Obama was a little known Illinois state politician, aspiring to move up to the United States Senate. Undoubtedly, the Marxist handlers behind this Manchurian candidate had long range plans to capture the US presidency since he was groomed as a youth by Frank Marshall Davis. But the general public and the press were not privy to this information.

At that time, there would have been no reason to fabricate a story about Obama’s birth that would disqualify him for the highest US office. This would be especially true for an African paper that was simply proud of their native son. So it is reasonable to take the press clippings of the day at face value. The following item has been on the web all along, but apparently did not get much attention. It is a June 2004 article from the online version of the East African Standard, an English-language paper published in Nairobi, Kenya, titled Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate. Click on the image to pop up a full size version of the article, which we captured from screenshots of the paper. Depending on your browser, you may need to click the pop-up image again with your “zoom tool” — a little magnifying glass icon.

June 2004 article in East African Standard

Another African paper, Modern Ghana, published an article this past July on the occasion of Obama’s trip to Africa — History Beckons - As Prez Obama Arrives Tomorrow. Originally, the article contained the following sentence:

For Ghana, Obama’s visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American President on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth.

Responding to external pressure, the paper eventually inserted the possessive “father’s” into the sentence, so that it now reads:

For Ghana, Obama’s visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American President on this presidential visit to the continent of his father’s birth.

There are numerous assertions that Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 at the Coast General Hospital in Mombasa. The situation was not helped by an interview after the election last November with Kenyan Ambassador to the United States, Peter Ogego, conducted by the hosts of the Mike In The Morning talk radio show on WRIF in Detroit, Michigan.

Host: One more quick question — President-elect Obama’s birthplace over in Kenya — is that going to be a national spot to go visit where he was born?

Ambassador:It’s already an assumption. His paternal grandmother is still alive.

Host: But his birthplace, they’ll put up a marker there?

Ambassador: It’s already well-known…

The socialistic Democrats presently controlling the US government and the liberal mainstream media dismiss those who question Obama’s citizenship as irrational “birthers,” “conspiracy theorists,” and “stuck on stupid.” But given the numerous indicators extant, it is a perfectly legitimate question to ask.

During last year’s presidential campaign, the issue of eligibility arose regarding both candidates. John McCain immediately made his original birth certificate available. Barack Obama only made public a state certificate that affirmed his birth was registered in Hawaii, which could have been the result of a foreign birth. He has never shown the original, or “vault copy,” of his birth record.

Not only that, he has spent big bucks on lawyers to prevent anyone from seeing the vault copy of his birth record by having his records sealed. That makes no sense at all, unless he has something to hide. Given the large numbers of constituents who are concerned, any responsible public servant would make the original records available to dispel their worries. (It is an easy thing to do — for heaven’s sake, I just did it myself to renew my Virginia driver’s license.)

So, whatever the truth may be about the status of Obama’s citizenship, there are some facts that are certain based on behavior that is public. Barack Obama is concealing some piece of information, and Barack Obama does not care about the concerns of a large number of Americans.

It looks very much like a very fake article.

Weren't his opponent's records sealed and somehow they leaked ? Aren't there enough deep pockets in the Conservative movement, or even people that want to know about this masked marvel, to buy this information?

Was it ever made public how the Ryan leak happened?

I have not read all the replies on the thread but it seems to me, anymore, the only way we can save our nation and our constitution is to get those records and get this fraud out of the People's House and into the Big House along with the slobbering liberal democrats.
With all the crazy things going on in an effort to promote one world order or one world govt..it won't amaze me in the least to see larger Tea Parties of We The People march down the mall and in front of the WH with pitch forks, shovels, base ball bats, umbrellas, canes, crutches, pipes, and how about rocks like the muzzies use..to beat our way into the houses of congress and pound some sense into this group of self appointed crown princes and princesses of America...hack butts and battle brands will be all the rage since guns and ammo are going to be in short supply...

I think when all is said and done with this monster, not only will 0bama go down in history as the fraud that he is, he will be the biggest and most hated president in US history.

The one you cite is TWO years later, when the cover up began.

OK, let's go back to November 2004.

Not saying he was NOT born there and NOT saying he was born in Hawaii. Why do you try to hard to make things fit to protect your pal obongo?

OK. I got it. The article trumpets the fact that Obama's father was born in Kenya yet forgets to mention that the Senator was born in Kenya as well?

Why do you try to hard to make things fit to protect your pal obongo?

Why do I continually punch holes in your birther conspiracy theories? Because it's sooooo easy.

Your response is stupid. Maybe they felt they didn’t need to mention that he was, since they already had. The point is, you attempted to make it look like they said he was born in HI just because they didn’t say he was born in Kenya either. Now talk about birthers trying to make things fit, how ironic is that. Laughable! I don’t care what you say, you voted for that SOB and I don’t care how long you have been a member. Things change. Lots of people voted for him that also voted for Reagan and Bush. Now many are regretting it and feel like fools.
