I could not agree more with Mr. Farah. All through this controversy about Obama's birth certificate, almost the entire media on the Right have ignored or mocked the story. They have been successfully bullied by the dominant Left in the media to do so. WND, Drudge, Diana West, and some of the writers on American Thinker have been rare exceptions.

Nope. They have been bullied by common sense and a lack of desperation to remove a president they hate from office on any pretext whatsoever.

You birthers really, really have to stop pretending everything’s a smoking gun. See the boy who cried wolf.

The question is: Was he lying then or now?

“Is he lying now or was he lying then?” could be abridged into a bumper sticker/ meme...”Lying nOw Or then” with the O being made with the Obama logo.

Regardless....am promoting that phrase to be used again and again by the friendly media.

Two possibilities:

1. He was born in Kenya because that’s where he said he was born.

2. He was born in Hawaii and spends millions of dollars to avoid having to prove it.

Now which one would Occam choose? How about the MSM, Rush, Steyn ...?

I heard the reps from Brietbart on the radio yesterday. They were maintaining that they aren’t focused on the eligibility issue, but rather Obama’s tendency to embellish.

I am pleased to see Freepers paying attention to Joseph Farah. He has outlasted his “UFO WorldNutDaily” critics in this forum.

Ho hum. Maybe it is time someone does an expose on just who owns the media.

“It seems that in 1991, Barack Obama was indeed representing himself to his literary agency as “born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”


Making it reasonable to assume that Barry applied to Occidental, Columbia and Harvard as a foreign student and as a result gained entry and student aid.

It's always a good day for Farah when he doesn't have to make up crap. This little piece of “evidence” will be worth multiple articles from multiple WND authors generating months of webhits. FALSE HOPE LIVES!!!!

Anything to disassociate themselves from those wacky ‘birthers’. He lied, which is now fine, he’s still eligible! Paging Mr Richard Nixon! You’re forgiven, sir.

“born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

Pigs and chickens are "raised".

Humans (at least, civilized ones) are "REARED".

Why doesn't a courageous reporter simply ask President Obama himself how the short bio "mistakenly" stated that he was born in Kenya?

Why don't reporters ask Obama why he allowed the short bio to continue to state over 17 years that he was born in Kenya when Obama knew it wasn't true, because, according to Obama and Hawaii officials, Obama was born in Hawaii?

Why are mainstream reporters so scared to confront Obama about this and other controversies in his past?

1. For instance,why don't reporters ask Obama why he ordered first a short form and then a long form birth certificate? Did the dog eat the one he had?

2. Social Security number controversy: Why don't mainstream reporters ask Obama about the controversy surrounding his Connecticut Social Security number?

3. Arizona vs. Hawaii: Why don't reporters confront Obama and ask him why Hawaii officials are playing hardball when it comes to sending verified information about Obama to Arizona Secretary Bennett so that Bennett can put Obama on the presidential ballot?

4. Again, why are mainstream reporters so scared to confront Obama about controversies in his past, like this born-in-Kenya controversy?

5. Mainstream reporters make me sick when I think how they shield Obama from controversies---or ignore Obama controversies completely---about his life over and over again as if he was some kind of god.

6. To be honest, Obama and his thugs insult my intelligence when they try to convince me that Obama DID NOT personally write and approve the details of his life that we read about in the short 1990s bio, even if some of the details, according to Obama spokesmen, are not correct.
