Colin Powell: Obama blew away the birthers
Associated Press ^ | May 6, 2011 | SUSANNE M. SCHAFER

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Colin Powell told graduates of South Carolina's premier historically black university that they were graduating during a tumultuous time that saw a royal wedding, a pope's beatification and a U.S. military assault that killed Osama bin Laden, "the worst person on earth."

But the former secretary of state and Joint Chiefs chairman told South Carolina State University's 400 graduates on Friday that he particularly enjoyed another recent event: "That was when President Obama took out his birth certificate and blew away Donald Trump and all the birthers!"

Wow, Colin. I can’t believe you can clap so vigorously like that on your knees without falling right over!

Obama blew away the birthers...

Yeah, with a fake document that proves he is not a "natural born" citizen.

It seems that most of our "leaders" are just plain clueless. (BTW, I had Powell pegged right when everyone else thought he was the cat's meow.)

>>> How were all those combat commmands? Oh, you never had any, right AA jackass?

You may be referring to Eisenhower, who never saw combat. In 1963 as a captain, Powell did a tour in Vietnam advising (commanding) an ARVN force in the field.

Which really has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic. Powell spoke the truth. Obama bodyslammed the birthers. Better now then October 2012. The tourette name calling and AA insults can go on for as many pages as you like, but that’s the reality. And you don’t need to be Audie Murphy to say it.

"Colon Bowel" Photobucket Bowel? That's a good one. I can't believe I've never thought of that one before.

British East Africa consisted of 3 separate colonies: Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika. So there is nothing wrong with considering Kenya as an entity unto itself, as it was hugely in the news because of the Mau Mau uprisings in the 1950’s, depicted in the bestselling novel Something of Value, written by Robert Ruark.

There is a disturbing brazenness about the new BC, it may be if you repeat a lie often enough it is taken as truth.

the video Obama played at this correspondence dinner is similar to Collen Powell's mocking. (First three minutes) very unpresidential. Worth watching. video

Kenya did not even exist until 1963, 27 years after the father’s birth. How could have Obama’s father been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the “British East Africa Protectorate”.

"The Colony and Protectorate of Kenya was part of the British Empire in Africa. It was established when the former East Africa Protectorate was transformed into a British crown colony in 1920." - link

On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is “Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital”. ... How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

The birth certificates for the Nordyke twins, born August 5, 1961 also lists “Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital”. - link

2 wrong out of 2.

I think the Birthers won.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Birthers won because:

*** Obama produced a forgery.

*** Obama could have easily produced certifiable and plainly valid evidence but Instead deliberately chose to shove a thumb in the eye of Americans.

This is the 5th story for the day, from a **major** mainstream media outlet about Obama and his birth certificate. Evidently, this story is not going away.

I would agree with you
that initially Obama’s second fake birth certificate set the poll numbers back significantly. Obama had to do something because the number of Americans that were not believing his eligibility was in the stratosphere. However,....Now that is it some weeks later the polls still show very damaging numbers for Obama who still don't buy his creation story.

I expect that, just as with the first birth certificate, news of the second forgery will spread person to person through the social network underground. If Trump takes the issue up again it will explode like a rotten egg all over our Usurper in Chief.

I am a birther still.

The fake birth certificate proves that the Kenyan is not a natural born citizen.

The POS, Hussein, has stated, twice, that his father was a foreigner.

He is not a natural-born citizen. He’s naturalized. He is not the lawful President of the United States. He never has been. He never can be.

While I’m not surprised, I still regret that there are large numbers of people out there who are either too stupid, too lazy, or too disloyal to “get it.”

The Constitution has not been amended to permit naturalized foreigners to serve as president.

Anyone - including Powell evidently - who thinks the Constitution has been so altered and that Dog Squat is legally president is an enemy of the United States.

I repeat - and here I’m choosing my words very carefully - anyone who insists that Barrack Hussein Obama is lawfully president IS AN ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES.

Thanks for remembering LT.

Every time I think of him the anger comes welling up.

As I understand it, the person’s point is, that of course Kenya was on the map at that time, but NOT BY THAT NAME.

I am a birther and still believe he is ineligible.

Powell is a useful ObamaBot.

My opinion.

Absolutely, that's what I'm asking - what was that country or part of Africa called in 1961 - It's official name and all? On official documents and all?

I'm a 'dye in the wool' birther - there's something extremely fishy about Barry - birthers-to me- encompasses much more than where he was born...his past does not jive.

What's that old saying that ends in "and leave no doubt"?

An unforced error by a has-been. No need to have said anything. Time to graze in the pasture, Colin!
