While Republican Congressman Frank Pallone read the "natural born Citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution on the House floor last Thursday, a spirited female in the audience shouted out, "Except Obama! Except Obama! Help us, Jesus!"
Later that day, NBC's Brian Williams improbably chose to assign blame for the woman's outburst on newly elected House speaker John Boehner. "How much responsibility do you feel?" Williams asked pointedly.
"The state of Hawaii has said Obama was born there," said Boehner, who is no more intimate with the "Birther" movement than Williams himself. "That was good enough for me."
The person Williams should have been asking about "responsibility" is the president. Obama's conspicuous fabrications over the years have caused even the sober among us to doubt his origins story.
In September 2009, President Obama addressed the nation's schoolchildren writ large, an innovation that struck many on the right as a wee bit too Big-Brotherly. In the talk, Obama asked America's students to take personal responsibility. That was all well enough.
Missed in the media hubbub, however, was his take on why this could be difficult for some students. "I get it," he told the kiddies. "I know what that's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother."
In his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father, Obama made the same claim. "He had left Hawaii back in 1963," he wrote of Obama Sr., "when I was only two years old."
When Obama wrote this in Dreams, he may have been relating what he had himself been told. By 2009, he knew better, but so vested was he in the story, and so useful had it been in his rise, that he continued to dissemble, even before millions of schoolchildren

Sorry. I don’t know.
I understand we may find out something tomorrow, today being Martin Luther King Day.
Cashill is a sharp, insightful man, and a meticulous researcher. I like his writing style, too. I’m really looking forward to this book. It will likely destroy the last tatters of Obama’s claims to honesty and mental health. So far, the only things he’s given credit for in the former category are those that can’t be fact checked [yet]—such as his BC.
In the second category, yes, abandoned children do make up their own histories and identities. But to do so to the degree Obama has done is anything but normal. He has a serious, sociopathic-level detachment from reality. I expect that will be harder even for his supporters to deny after Cashill’s book debuts.
The BC issue is in fact the most important issue to ever need to be addressed by SCOTUS and the news media.
A child is born innocent. For some reason (NBC?) this son of a bitch has made a pack of lies of his birth narrative.
Okay, enough beating around the bush—now tell us how you really feel.
Just kidding. ;)
I do think the degree to which Obama lies, and lives a lie, goes to more than just his integrity and trustworthiness. When any person lies as pathologically as he does, it is indicative of far deeper problems. This man is a sociopathic malignant narcissist. He should be in deep, intensive therapy, not in the White House. Let us hope and pray American corrects one of the biggest errors ever made no later than 2012.
[In an ideal world he’d be out sooner, on the basis of all the laws he’s broken. Not the least of which is the millions of foreign $ he raked in in the last campaign. Then there’s the perjury he committed re: his law license, when he said he’d never gone by any other name. If this were a white Republican, he’d be in prison by now. Of well; if all we can do is vote him out, let’s hope we do it in a landslide.]
I hardly see how anyone can be expected to know all the details of what happened when one is 1 or two years old. Most normal people would likely get a thing or two wrong when attempting to retell such events, especially if their parents aren't alive to correct them.

Name one such lie. And no, getting a couple minor details wrong that he can't be expected to remember doesn't count.
Bump.

Re: Obama and the ‘cite one lie’ idea. Curiosity, in all honesty it’s more like his whole life is a lie. Stick with me, and I’ll try to illustrate what I mean.
Obama ran as a Christian. He talked the spiritual part of his ‘resume’ up big time, because without it he couldn’t have been elected. Yet he’s on Youtube mocking, demeaning and ridiculing the Old Testament. In your mind, is that honest?
His home church was/is home to a large percentage of Muslims who are never encouraged to convert. Does that conform to your idea of honest, mainstream, Biblical Christianity’?
On the day of his inauguration, Obama had a gay male pastor, who proudly promotes his sodomizing lifestyle with the gay ‘husband’ to whom he is ‘married’—all under cover of his ‘Christian’ position—offer an official prayer. Is that the action of a true Christian, seeking to honor the day he took the helm of the greatest nation on earth?
How honest do you find Obama’s celebration of Muslim vs Christian holidays? Obama turned Easter, the most holy day in the Christian calendar, into a celebration of homosexual parenthood—and made not a single mention of Jesus. [Iow, he profaned the day as blasphemously as he possibly could.] During his Muslim White House celebrations, he honors Islam slavishly. Why the double standard? Why rub sodomy in the face of Christians, and yet never mention that homosexuals are killed and worse in Islamic countries? Are you really unable to discern the vile, singularly insidious dishonesty in such a naked, in-your-face dichotomy?
Obama installed a gay pedophile, whose life crusade is indoctrinating very young American school kids into the gay lifestyle, as his ‘safe school czar’. Does the fact that Obama unconstitutionally gave this man sweeping, massively destructive powers over our kids—while avoiding congressional hearings and presenting the gay community with an invaluable gift—not strike you as dishonest?
How about Obama repeatedly denying abortion would be covered by Obamacare. Do you still believe that whopper? If so, where are you getting your information? Even Dems agree it will cover them, it’s just that they see this as a plus. [How do you feel about this, btw? Do you think it’s good for Obamacare to cover abortions?]
What about Obama’s lame-duck frenzy to repeal DADT? Do you think he honestly wanted all the facts presented, and backed (1) allowing sufficient time for meaningful hearings and debate, (2) calling the right/best people to testify, and (3) honestly taking into account the effect open sodomy and forced gay shower-sharing would have on the military? Do you consider the way he engineered—and madly rushed—this fundamental, crippling change to our armed forces to be open, circumspect and ‘honest’? [What are your thoughts on the DADT repeal, btw? Do you see it as a net-positive or a net-negative?]
What about the countless personal records Obama has sealed? Are these the actions of an honest man? Why has he spent millions keeping his BC a secret? Why can we not even see his college admissions forms and transcripts? What honest ‘public servant’ goes to such lengths to keep so many personal secrets?
My take: Obama does this not because he is merely a pathological liar; he does it because he IS a lie. Everything about him is a lie. He is a fraud, pure and simple.
What’s your take?
PS: There is a Freeper—off the top of my head I can’t recall his name—who maintains an ever-enlarging Obama photo gallery. Every selection depicts Obama in a classic, over-the-top effeminate-gay pose. There are dozens and dozens of photos. Now what do you think? Is Obama just a normal, red-blooded heterosexual citizen-of-the-world with the unfortunate happenstance of striking one uber-effeminate pose after another? Or is it unlikely that a regular guy could look so ridiculously gay so often?
BTTT....great post
Thank you. The issue of Obama and his dishonesty is a huge one. I only grazed the surface. It’s something to think about, though: is *anything* about this man the truth?

During the 1960’s I personally witnessed several new Mommies coming in to ship their cars back to Hawaii (via Matson Lines http://www.Matson.com ) shortly after their giving birth elsewhere, inside or outside the Mainland United States.
These new Mommies were told by other Mommies present to just go to the Honolulu Officals and proclaim that thier newborns were born in Hawaii and a Birth Certificate showing so would be automatically produced.
It was THAT commonplace ..and well known about by many.. back then..!!!
This was during a 9-10 year window after Hawaiian Statehood when they could get away with it.

It hasn’t been forgotten at all and if you participate on eligibilty threads, you know that Hawaiian birth registration practices of the early ‘60’s is a well-known and frequently discussed subject here.
It really isn’t all that complicated to understand...there is just a lot of willful ignorance among the powers that be.
“I distinctly remember three wise men bringing gifts...”
That’s very funny. What he’s actually said, though (and which is a lie) is almost as bad:
Obama 2.0: The Reinvention Begins
A clue to Obama’s ability and willingness to adapt can be found in the words of his book Dreams from My Father. There he mentioned only one book, Malcolm X’s autobiography, and wrote that Malcolm X’s “repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me.” Therein lies the clue to Obama’s plan to rebrand his own image. A man who can fake a Southern accent, the story of how his father came to America, and the story of his parents’ being inspired by the Civil Rights march in Selma to conceive him has no problem morphing for political purposes.
