Suborned in the U.S.A. - The birth-certificate controversy is about Obama’s honesty...
National Review ^ | 7/30/09 | Andy McCarthy

Posted on 07/30/2009 7:26:52 AM PDT by pissant

Throughout the 2008 campaign, Barack Hussein Obama claimed it was a “smear” to refer to him as “Barack Hussein Obama.” The candidate had initially rhapsodized over how his middle name, the name of the prophet Mohammed’s grandson, would signal a new beginning in American relations with the Muslim world. But when the nomination fight intensified, Obama decided that Islamic heritage was a net negative. So, with a media reliably uncurious about political biographies outside metropolitan Wasilla, Obama did what Obama always does: He airbrushed his personal history on the fly.

Suddenly, it was “just making stuff up,” as Obama put it, for questioners “to say that, you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections.” “The only connection I’ve had to Islam,” the candidate insisted, “is that my grandfather on my father’s side came from [Kenya]. But I’ve never practiced Islam.” Forget about “Hussein”; the mere mention of Obama’s middle initial — “H” — riled the famously thin-skinned senator. Supporters charged that “shadowy attackers” were “lying about Barack’s religion, claiming he is a Muslim.” The Obamedia division at USA Today, in a report subtly titled “Obama’s grandma slams ‘untruths,’” went so far as to claim that Obama’s Kenyan grandmother is a Christian — even though a year earlier, when Obama’s “flaunt Muslim ties” script was still operative, the New York Times had described the same woman, 85-year-old Sara Hussein Obama, as a “lifelong Muslim” who proclaimed, “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith.”

Andy McCarthy is one of the few bright ones at NR.

His ‘honesty’?

Those of us with rational minds knew all along that he has NO honesty.

Those who voted for him just don’t care, no matter HOW many blatant current examples of his dis-honesty are presented to them.

Don’t mention Hussein, islam, his big ears, his ultra-liberalism, or constitutional standing. Too bad there wasn’t an actual campaign last year.

If even NR is mentioning this then it’s not going away.

Something is clearly in there that Obama doesn’t want people to see - something that may expose him to some kind of false swearing charge, or at the very least expose his “compelling biography” as a fraud.

kudos to Andrew for having the balls to sign his article instead of signing it “the editors”

Well, since he pretty much agrees with my take on the situation, I have to say he's brilliant!

This dishonesty affects all parts of the Administration. I am completely disgusted with the racial politics surrounding this president.
When people disagree with him, its because they are racists. When he promotes the health care program (as he admitted in a 2004 interview) to “disproportionately assist people of color” he’s not considered a racist.
Why the double standard?

One of the very few. Expect Cheeks Lowry to fire him soon.

I believe this ARROGANT administration is showing how arrogant they really are...how? By not showing the original certificate...they are basically saying “screw you, we are in charge and what are you going to do about it”?

I really believe that the Clinton’s (during their campaign) would have researched this and proven he was not born in Hawaii...don’t ya’ think?

“No, it is about the brutal stupidity of conspiracy theorists.”

What is your problem?
Looking for a date with Ann Coulter?

What is your problem with people that find it strange that Obozo refuses to show his birth certificate?

This is a 530-foot tape-measure home-run of an article. McCarthy cuts to the chase of why Obama’s “vault copy” birth certificate is important. Not because it’s going to prove that he’s not eligible for the Presidency, he almost certainly is. But because he and the mainstream media have a documented record of LYING about his background and his life.

Release the birth certificate, Mr. Obama, and ALL of the other historical information that you’re hiding. As one of your predecessors at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW once found out to his and the nation’s detriment, the cover-up is always worse than the crime.

Because that is Marxism...lie, divide then accuse...lie, divide then accuse. It’s the oldest trick in the book and the sheeple believe it....

I agree. This action (to publish an article on this topic) was IMO not taken lightly by NRO and McCarthy did a fine job.

Obama is faking his entire identity and he will be found out!

I had been e-mailing NRO for the past couple days because of the mistakes made in their “Born in the USA” editorial as I am sure others had as well. It is good of them to print this correction.

The Kenyan Imposter’s cover up is unraveling.

It is clear that his books were a fabricated legend like those created for undercover spies.

This thing is going blow up soon.

What I'd like to say to Andrew McCarthy: What took you so long ?

The info in this article was all known to FReepers BEFORE the election, and should have been printed then.

It's well done; but, too little, too late.

No, not too late. We’ll expose the fraud and get his marxist hide tossed out of office.
