In his announcement today, Obama stated that both he and General Shinseki "grew up in Hawaii". According to Wikipedia, the general was also born there: "Shinseki was born in Lihue, Kauai in the then Territory of Hawaii."
Why didn't Obama simply state instead, that both he and the General were born in Hawaii and grew up there?
Anyone? Anyone?
I think this is “reaching”, if you know what I mean.
I think Obie is guilty as all get out, but we need to concentrate on more concrete leads.
LOL
I think many of them are and their post are more of a gag/bait than anything. LOL
Those need to be weeded out but nothing wrong with new posters with conservative blood on FR. I would welcome all until they prove otherwise.
Freudian slip?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You guys get ping or what.
it will cause a revolution if they try to throw the ensconced Obama from office?
that’s gona happen anyway, regardless of when or how they remove him.
His subconscious betrays him...
You can’t hide your being all of the time...
One would think that if Obama was as big a liar about the location of his birth as some people around here think he is, then why on earth wouldn’t he just lie about it now rather than choose his words so carefully as to avoid telling another lie.
Just makes no sense at all.
This is silly. Why do you think he cannot lie?
So what are you doing here? If you regard Free Republic as a conspiracy then you belong at the Daily KOS or maybe Democrat Underground.
BTW, I suspect Obama was born in Kenya.
Welcome to Free Republic “Mel”.
Why indeed? Especially since 0bama grew up (well, part way) in Indonesia...
Do you have trouble reading, FR is not a conspiracy place, most of the ones that show up and try posting that bunk sooner are later get the old ZOT.
Obama lied. He didn’t “grow up” in Hawaii. He grew up in a madrasa in Indonesia.

“As provided by law (HRS §§338-17.7, 338-20.5), the following persons may apply for an amended certificate of birth:
A person born in the State of Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health and
has become legally adopted, or
has undergone a sex change operation, or
a legal determination of the nonexistence of a parent and child relationship for a person identified as a parent on the birth certificate on file has been made, or
previously recorded information in relation to the person’s surname and/or the father’s personal particulars has been altered pursuant to law.
A person born in a foreign country who has been legally adopted in the State of Hawaii.”
AS you can see, Revised Statute 338-178 only allows the issuance of a HI birth certificate to a foreign born child in case of adoption. There is no other reason. There has never been a statute that allowed foreign born children to receive a HI birth certificate. That was a lie that has been repeated over and over again. It is not true, and easily verifiable.
and that meaning depends on what the meaning of “meaning” is :)
