Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981? A: NO! It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department’s “No Travel List” in 1981.

Not true. I traveled to Pakistan several times during that period on an American diplomatic passport. There were travel advisories in effect but no ban on travel to Pakistan like there were in the case of North Korea and Cuba. Our Embassy in Islamabad had been attacked in 1980 and there had been some assassinations of American contractors hence the travel advisories. There were plenty of private sector Americans in Pakistan including teachers, businessmen, etc.

Travel ban or no travel ban, the question is what citizen status did Obummer claim on his travel records? There must have been something those State Depart. records that Obummer needed to hide awfully bad, since there is one dead body in D.C. relating to the pilfering of State Department records. John Brennan reminds me a lot of Sandy Berger. Each, turned out to be “security advisers”??? and each pilfered official government records. One at the National Archives and the other at the State Department. It must go with the title.
