Yes, it was, and I am not the only freeper who saw it. They were sitting at a table like the one tim russert used to have, maybe not his show, but a table. The same table. That is unusual debate style. It was not a very interesting debate. Obama was that cool as a cucumber persona and Keyes was more passi9nate as is his personality. It was NO SMOKING GUN as Obama did not actually agree that he wasn’t born here. He clearly said that we were discussing the senate, not the presidency, but he didn’t agree to the claim he wasn’t born here. After I saw it, not knowing it would be disappeared, I actually thought, naw, that’s nothing. Doesn’t prove a damn thing.
It is real and it really happened. And I really saw it on FR, the clip or the whole debate, I don’t remember. And we have discussed it a few times in the last 9 years, and indeed other FReepers remember it as I do.
I remember seeing it and thinking the same thing.
When he was running for President he stated that his father’s status as a British subject governed the status of the birth of his children as British subjects.
He was telling us he was not eligible without actually saying it.
Do you really believe the founders would think a British subject to be naturally an American?
I remember seeing it as well. It was at the beginning of the debate and when I went back to save it, the beginning had been deleted.
I also remember reading an article when he was in Occidental College in California he gave his first political anti-apartheid speech which he credits as the time he realized his speaking talent. His girl friend encouraged him to use the name Barack Obama instead of Barry Soetero. It too was deleted when I went back to pull it up.
