From The Citizen

Zanzibar could reverse trend to have president from Pemba

For more than 200 years US citizen could not pick a president who has roots outside the country. This might have been the result of racism or belief that a person other than ‘original’ US citizen was capable of effectively leading the powerful nation and help it to maintain its values.

But after political changes globally, and strengthening of democracy, things have changed in the US. We witnessed last year a senator with his origins from east Africa, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama, becoming the first black US president. He won the race on Democrat ticket and was sworn on January 20, 2009 as US president.

Barack Abdallah Husein Obama

Well, I bet the Abdallah part on the birth certificate is what is not supposed to be seen.

This is the first time I've seen the additional name.

Sigh.

??????

But that's meaningless nonsense so far as the US concerned.

Didn't all our presidents have "roots outside the country"? At the very least, you've got those presidents whose mother or father or both were born in some part of the British Isles or Empire.

But after political changes globally, and strengthening of democracy, things have changed in the US. We witnessed last year a senator with his origins from east Africa, Barack Abdallah Husein Obama, becoming the first black US president. He won the race on Democrat ticket and was sworn on January 20, 2009 as US president.

Having "roots" or "origins" outside the country? You mean like Kennedy and Ireland? The Roosevelts and Holland? Or are you reading more into this than is there?

It was clear enough before the election to anyone with eyes, however, there really can’t be any doubt now: President Hussein is a foreign-born Moslem who was never constitutionally eligible to be chief executive, and who’s busily digging away at the US and her institutions on behalf of his Middle Eastern pals.

The way to take him down...is NOT via the absence of a birth certificate....but through FRAUD. The DNC committed a fraud-650 million worth of a FRAUD on the American People.

Suits directed by defrauded donors WILL go further than any “constitutional eligibility” challenge.

United States pledges funds for Kenya vote

By The Citizen Correspondents, Nairobi

The United States has pledged financial support for the upcoming referendum on a new constitution, Prime Minister Raila Odinga announced on Saturday.

The pledge came through a telephone call from President Barack Obama to President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga earlier this week.

Mr Odinga said that both principals had assured Mr Obama that the country would achieve broad support for a new consensus.

“Early this week, US President Obama called President Kibaki and me and expressed fears that we would not have a new constitution.

Who does he work for? and why are US tax dollars going to this.
