JEDDAH: Saeed Hussein Obama, uncle of US President Barack Obama, has praised King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, for his efforts to establish regional and international peace and stability, and for assisting in the development of the Muslim Ummah.
Saeed Obama, Barack Obamas grandmother, and other members of the family, performed Haj this year as guests of the King. Prince Mamdouh Bin Abdul Aziz held a banquet for the family at his palace in Jeddah recently.
Obama, who is the chairman of a Kenyan petroleum company, said in an interview with Okaz/Saudi Gazette that the Islamic Ummah considers the King a wise politician leader and a proponent of just Islamic causes.
He said this years Haj was an unprecedented success because of the new facilities for pilgrims, including the new roads and bridges, technology, and the launch of the Holy Sites Train. Serving large numbers of people at a specific time and place was a miracle by any standards and a difficult task for any country, he said.
The Islamic Ummah greatly appreciates the role of King Abdullah in serving pilgrims and enabling them to perform their rituals peacefully. We see that the Saudi authorities make great efforts to improve conditions for every Haj. We see the accomplishments every year, he said.
Obama said the Muslim world is in a crisis not seen for many centuries. These challenges require unified action. He said the Kings interfaith dialogue has reduced Islamophobia in the world.

Obama said he would not discuss matters related to Barack Obama or his relationship with him. He would only say that the American president wants to improve living and economic conditions in the world, and wants peace and stability in all regions......continues

thanks, as you have probably gathered by now, it’s the ‘Indonesian’ image I question. Perhaps you might ask Scott if HIS image is the adult circled. I suspect that if it is, someone connected to the website in Indonesia may have used Scott’s image - perhaps from his facebook page.
In any case, the entire composition looks suspect.
It still remains impossible for the boy to have attended school both in Indonesia and in Hawaii at the same time...and Scott appears to be as confused as everyone else.
No one suggested that the two little boys, the light one and the dark one, were the same age. The question of twins arose as a result of zero being in both Indonesia and Hawaii AT THE SAME TIME.
EXCERPT FROM 'DREAMS'
So what are the images of Stanley Ann Dunham and her father supposed to tell me? That she had a father and he had a daughter?
Now, suddenly, I heard her voice for the first time. It was soft and dark, tinged with a colonial accent. For a few moments I couldnt understand the words, only the sound, a sound that seemed to have always been there, misplaced but not forgotten. She was coming to the States, she said, on a trip with several friends. Could she come to see me in New York?
Of course, I said. You can stay with me; I cant wait. And she laughed, and I laughed, and then the line grew quiet with static and the sound of our breath. Well, she said, I cant stay on the phone too long, its so expensive. Heres the flight information; and we hung up quickly after that, as if our contact was a treat to be doled out in small measures.
I spent the next few weeks rushing around in preparation: new sheets for the sofa bed, extra plates and towels, a scrubbing for the tub. But two days before she was scheduled to arrive, Auma called again, the voice thicker now,barely a whisper.
I cant come after all, she said. One of our brothers, David hes been killed. In a motorcycle accident. I dont know any more than that. She began to cry. Oh, Barack. Why do these things happen to us?
I tried to comfort her as best I could. I asked her if I could do anything for her. I told her there would be other times for us to see each other. Eventually her voice quieted; she had to go book a flight home, she said...

Thank you, FN .. I so admire your propensity for the details. I’m having the hardest time keeping up with the wives, places, half brothers and sisters, dates, step brothers, adulterers, cousins, stepmothers and grandmothers, scoundrels and screwups .. LOL.
It’s no wonder...how many times have you read that ‘David’ was already dead when his ‘father’ died? Or that zero didn’t visit Kenya until 1987? Or how many websites differ on the birth and death years of ‘David’? They can’t even keep track of their own lies, so how are we to do any better?
We just know that something STINKS.
Ooh .. it’s worse than a stink ... it’s an
insidious, engineered, poisonous, global
black plague and cancer on us all.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Where was BO in 1987?
I have a question.
Best answer per the research I’ve seen:
the Alinsky organizing chapters, Chicago
First visit I remember reading was ‘83 .. and
an African publication repeats that. Don’t know
which lying site is saying it’s ‘87.

A Sunday Nation team that set out to trace Obama’s roots was surprised to find that, unknown to many, Obama has actually been to this village twice. First in 1983, when he had come to mourn his late father, Barack Hussein Obama, who had died in Nairobi in 1982; and again in 1995 when he brought home his young bride to show her his roots.

Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendell also puts this first visit in 1983. U.K.’s Independent and Obama’s Uncle Sayid specify 1987 for the first trip, as did Obama himself when speaking to college students in Kenya in 2006. Remnick sticks to the official version of 1988 in his exhaustive 2010 Obama biography, “The Bridge.”
In “Dreams,” Obama dedicates 131 pages to this African pilgrimage. It is the climactic chapter of the book and presumably his life. And yet two years into his presidency, there is still nothing close to a consensus as to when he actually made this journey.

Now that's funny right there!
Awesome thread, Fred.
Here's more. - Begin at # 76, and read to end of page.
Thanks, LV Ron. Yes, awesome researchers on this site. We'd be lost without them.

Persons, eligible for the presidency, have no first generation ties to a foreign nation, whereas ineligible persons always do. ALL statutory citizens are born with a tie to another nation by birthplace and/or blood, but NEVER is that the case with any natural born citizens who are only American.
A statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature).
Statutory citizenship means that a person’s citizenship requires a law or laws to define it.
Ping to post with sincere Hat Tip for length! :)
Why doesn’t somebody get a DNA sample from this “uncle” and see if Obummer is a relative.
