During his campaign for the Senate, he and his team touted his Kenyan birth, possibly because it made him more appealing to the voters they needed. Unfortunately, admitting to his birth in Kenya makes him ineligible for the Presidency.

This is the first I've heard that he claimed Kenyan birth during the Senate campaign. And I have never seen that claim used by posters on FR, and it seem to me that if it were so, Freepers would be all over it.

If anyone has a credible link, please provide it. TIA

I didn't see it in Dr. Corsi's book, either.

I also fail to see how it would have helped him in his Senate race.

I agree...I haven’t been able to track anything directly back to to him. There were a coupe of different articles mentioning it, but it sure seemd that it was the writer doing it ( though where the writer got the info, i don’t know)

you would think that Obama would have mentioned it when he was Kerry’s keynote speaker, but he didn’t.

I too have never seen or heard of such a statement. I was one who did hear the brief exchange with Keyes during the Illinois senate campaign where Keyes said something close to “...and you can never run for president” and Obama said “...so what?” “I have no interest in running for president.”

It is all moot anyway because Obama told us he was born a dual citizen because of his father's British citizenship. That made him ineligible and every senator knew it, having just signed Senate Res. 511 supposedly justifying McCain's qualifications because “both of his parents were citizens.” The fix was in an Obama had the confidence to announce his ineligibilty, because the law firm guiding him was the same one defending McCain, Kendall and Ellis. They both had a natural born citizenship problem keeping both parties silent.

If our legal system were still rooted in our Constitution, and our legislators bound by oaths, Obama wouldn't be president. The sad complicity of senior military, who also signed an oath is now coming to light. Senior military make no secret of the priority of their respect for Sharia over respect for The Constitution. I know there are officers who hate what is happening, but field grade desk jockeys have families to feed too. When the food riots come, they will still have a job - protecting the leadership from the citizens.

I have urged my nephews, one not to re-up, and two others not to enlist. They would be joining a military which has been ordered not to provide cover, and not to shoot until after incoming has been verified, and until after permission has been granted by headquarters. Men should stay near to protect their families because we are now faced with “Enemies foreign and domestic,” with the emphasis on “domestic.”

I am sure the links to several articles from when he ran for senate were posted here.

Here is one

http://web.archive.org/web/20040627142700/eastandard.net/headlines/news26060403.htm

Then you might want to read these, to see all of the documents he is hiding.

I am sure you will find the above two very enlightening.

He is supposed to have made a remark to his opponent in the US Senate race - Alan Keyes.

Keyes called him on the subject of his birth in Kenya and Zero is alleged to have replied.."It does not matter I'm running for the Senate not the Presidency."

Why Keyes has not made more of this admission I cannot imagine.
