Obama Confused About His Birth? Lying? High On Dope Again?

While Democrat Congressman Frank Pallone read the "natural born Citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution on the House floor last Thursday, a spirited female in the audience shouted out, "Except Obama!  Except Obama!  Help us, Jesus!"

Later that day, NBC's Brian Williams improbably chose to assign blame for the woman's outburst on newly elected House speaker John Boehner.  "How much responsibility do you feel?" Williams asked pointedly. 

"The state of Hawaii has said Obama was born there," said Boehner, who is no more intimate with the "Birther" movement than Williams himself.  "That was good enough for me."

The person Williams should have been asking about "responsibility" is the president.  Obama's conspicuous fabrications over the years have caused even the sober among us to doubt his origins story. 

In September 2009, President Obama addressed the nation's schoolchildren writ large, an innovation that struck many on the right as a wee bit too Big-Brotherly.  In the talk, Obama asked America's students to take personal responsibility.  That was all well enough. 

Missed in the media hubbub, however, was his take on why this could be difficult for some students. "I get it," he told the kiddies.  "I know what that's like.  My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother." 

In his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father, Obama made the same claim.  "He had left Hawaii back in 1963," he wrote of Obama Sr., "when I was only two years old." 

When Obama wrote this in Dreams, he may have been relating what he had himself been told.  By 2009, he knew better, but so vested was he in the story, and so useful had it been in his rise, that he continued to dissemble, even before millions of schoolchildren.

There are clues in Dreams, however, which suggest that Obama was creating a fiction for future use that he already knew to be untrue.  He tells of coming across an article from the Honolulu Advertiser celebrating Barack Obama, Sr.'s planned grand tour of mainland universities on his triumphant way to Harvard. 

Obama writes ruefully in Dreams, "No mention is made of my mother or me, and I'm left to wonder whether the omission was intentional on my father's part, in anticipation of his long departure."  What Obama does not mention is that the article was dated June 22, 1962.

Obama was reportedly born on August 4, 1961.  He was not yet a year old at the time Obama Sr. left Hawaii for good.  More to the point, Obama fails to mention that he and his mother, Ann Dunham, were living in Seattle at the time and had been since at least August 19, 1961, the day she enrolled at the University of Washington. 

In short, the family never lived together.  There was no Obama family.  The Obama camp surely knew this by the time he ran for president, but Obama kept dissembling about his origins nonetheless.

Although Obama's African relatives seem to have accepted the president as one of their own, there is even less clarity on the Kenyan side.  According to Dreams, Obama Sr. had children with at least four different women, two of them American, and he occasionally circled back to the first of the four, Kezia. 

I'm too tired to finish and have a VA appointment early in the AM. We'll get back to this after I get some sleep. Looks interesting.

Okay, back to business:

On the occasion of his father's death in 1982, lawyers contacted anyone who might have claim to the estate.  "Unlike my mum," Obama tells his half-sister Auma in Dreams, "Ruth has all the documents needed to prove who Mark's father was." 

Ruth obviously could produce a marriage license and a birth certificate for her son Mark.  Ann Dunham apparently could not do the same for her son Barack, at least not one that could tie him to Obama Sr. -- not even with a potential payoff on the table.

The long form birth certificate could pose a number of problems other than country of origin, including the date of Obama's birth, the state of his birth, and the identity of his father.  Any one of these revelations could unravel the yarn that Obama has been spinning.

These problems derive from the fact that Ann Dunham enrolled at university on August 19, 1961 and returned to Hawaii only after Obama Sr. had left Hawaii for good.  Both of these facts are more firmly established than President Obama's Honolulu birth on August 4, 1961.  In my forthcoming book, Deconstructing Obama, I review these possibilities in some detail. 

The failure of the mainstream media to even address the inconsistencies in Obama's story is downright shameful.  That failure has created a windstorm of curiosity that is becoming increasingly difficult for the media to ignore.  The final responsibility for the outburst in Congress last week is theirs.

So for those dialing in from Rio Linda, even with a payoff staring her right in the face, Barack's mom could find no way to prove that her son was indeed sired by Obama Sr. Remember, these are hippies, the original welfare queens living from hand to mouth and on the good graces of whichever well-to-do person will take them in, so it is inconceivable that Barry's mommy did not stand up for what should have rightfully belonged to her son. 

One of the problems simply had to have been the fact that Obama Sr. had so many 'wives' in so many countries, and 'Mrs." Obama had so many 'husbands' and 'uncles' spending the night. Bereft of modern DNA sampling, no one back then could have separated such a twisted skein.

But Barry, or even the Yellowstream media for that matter, could easily set this all straight as an arrow. Barry continues to lie every chance he can, and the media is invested lock stock and barrel into the Obama presidency, so it's going to take an investigative outsider to find the truth.
