2 Clinton supporters in ’08 reportedly shared Obama ‘birther’ story (Reporter sent to Kenya)
Mcclatchy ^

Posted on 09/16/2016 6:05:39 PM PDT by springwater13

Meanwhile, former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief James Asher tweeted Friday that Blumenthal had “told me in person” that Obama was born in Kenya.

“During the 2008 Democratic primary, Sid Blumenthal visited the Washington Bureau of McClatchy Co.,” Asher said in an email Friday to McClatchy, noting that he was at the time the investigative editor and in charge of Africa coverage.

“During that meeting, Mr. Blumenthal and I met together in my office and he strongly urged me to investigate the exact place of President Obama’s birth, which he suggested was in Kenya. We assigned a reporter to go to Kenya, and that reporter determined that the allegation was false.

“At the time of Mr. Blumenthal’s conversation with me, there had been a few news articles published in various outlets reporting on rumors about Obama’s birthplace. While Mr. Blumenthal offered no concrete proof of Obama’s Kenyan birth, I felt that, as journalists, we had a responsibility to determine whether or not those rumors were true. They were not.”

In less than 24 hours, Hillary's entire offense has collapsed, and the biggest blow has come from a Mainstream Media outlet that has enthusiastically backed her. This is the worst day of her campaign.

As I said on a thread yesterday, this is a historic moment. This is what it looks like when the dam bursts.

I find it delicious that Hillary is out there stating Trump's introduction into politics was based on birtherism. That means Hillary is directly responsible for having to run against the guy that's going to beat her.

How could this be, I just saw TRace Gallagher on the Megyn Kardashian show say it was only because of an interview Hillary Gav on 60 minutes.

Who’s lying

I thought it was interesting that Trump only said that Obama was ‘born in the United States, Period.’

He said nothing else about it...

If his father is who he claims, a Kenyan national and at the time, a British subject, then Obama is not a natural born citizen, regardless of where he was born.
He could have been born in Canada and be as eligible as Ted Cruz, NOT eligible.
No one has seen any document that can be examined, only an image on the internet.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

Were both of his parents born American citizens, so that we can assume that he was raised with a sense of loyalty to THIS nation?

The whole thing is up to interpretation; but we have to think about the reason for the whole idea of ‘Natural Born Citizen’. The idea was to preclude anyone who might have loyalties to other nations.
