4 Simple Questions

1. Back in 1961 people of color were called 'Negroes. So how can the Obama 'birth certificate' state he is "African-American" when the term wasn't even used at that time ?

2. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961 and Lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, Right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in "Kenya, East Africa".

This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet Exist ?

Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate".

3. On the Birth Certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital".

This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively.

The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

4. Perhaps a clue comes from Obama's book on his father. He states how proud he is of his father fighting in WW II. I'm not a math genius, so I may need some help from you. Barack Obama's "birth certificate" says his father was 25 years old in 1961 when Obama was born. That should have put his father's date of birth approximately 1936 - Now we need a non-revised history book-one that hasn't been altered to satisfy the author's goals-to verify that WW II was basically between 1939 and

1945. Just how many 3 year olds fight in Wars? Even in the latest stages of WW II his father wouldn't have been more than 9 years old. Does that mean that Mr. Obama is a liar, or simply chooses to alter the facts to satisfy his imagination or political purposes ?

"A pen in the hand of this president is far more dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million law-abiding citizens.

Obama lied about his uncle’s service in World War II:

From a news report:

“Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

Well—his uncle must have been a Russian, because it was the Russians who liberated Auschwitz and then occupied Poland, not the Americans.

At a campaign appearance in New Mexico in May, 2008, Obama made the statement quoted in the eRumor. He proudly talked of an uncle who helped liberate Auschwitz. The problem is that Auschwitz was liberated on January 27, 1945 by Stalin’s Red Army. No American troops were involved.

Obama Claims ‘uncle’ liberated Auschwitz, but Soviet troops freed Nazi camp

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama has been caught in an apparent gaffe that has some angry bloggers claiming the Democratic presidential candidate was “lying about the Holocaust for political gain.”

In a Memorial Day speech yesterday available on video, Obama told an audience his uncle liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp. The Nazi death camp, however, was liberated by the Soviet Union in January 1945.

After publication of this story, Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton issued a correction. Obama was referring to his great uncle, a member of the 89th Infantry Division that liberated the Ohrduf camp, part of Buchenwald, in Germany. Burton said the great uncle, Obama’s grandmother’s brother, is still alive.

“I had an uncle who was one of the, part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps,” Obama said in speech in New Mexico. “And the story in our family was, is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic, and he didn’t leave the house for six months.”

Obama was using the story to promote better benefits for troops.

“Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said.

“That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

The U.S. Army liberated the Nazi concentration camps of Buchenwald in Germany and Mauthausen-Gusen in Austria. Auschwitz is in southern Poland, which was occupied by troops from the neighboring Soviet Union in 1945.

The Ace of Spades blog, which first noticed the discrepancy, said, “Unless Obama’s ‘uncle’ was serving in the Red Army, it’s a pretty safe bet he was many hundreds of miles from Auschwitz on its day of liberation,”

The Red State blog accused Obama of using the Holocaust for political gain.

“Look, we all know Obama has a problem with Jewish voters and veterans, but trying to use the Holocaust for political gain is sickening – especially when it is a bold-faced lie.”

Obama’s campaign did not return a phone call from WND requesting comment.

It wasn’t immediately clear which uncle Obama was referencing. His late father was Kenyan. Articles about his late mother, S. Ann Soetoro, state she was an only child and that her father was upset she wasn’t a boy.

Obama previously stated his maternal grandfather fought in World War II under legendary U.S. Army General George S. Patton, but he said his grandfather only “heard” stories of the liberation of Auschwitz:

“My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain,” Obama said in a 2002 anti-war speech.

The blog HotAir.com speculated Obama mistook his uncle for his grandfather.

“Maybe it was his grandfather who helped liberate Buchenwald with Patton and somehow that turned into a mysterious uncle liberating Auschwitz. But, er, how and why?” asked Hot Air.

But Obama also mentioned his grandfather yesterday in the same speech referencing his “uncle.”

“My grandfather marched in Patton’s Army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you. My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have,” Obama said.

Meanwhile, Obama’s tale about his “uncle” was reported as fact by the news media.

A Washington Post blog post titled, “Obama speaks with ‘deep humility’ on Memorial Day” also reported about Obama’s uncle.
