  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't doubt that he is a US citizen. Being born to an American mother abroad does not negate his citizenship in the US. But why not just admit it? He seemed proud of it 20 years ago.

And you take this as truth why? Because you found it on the Internet?
Do you know where it came from?
The brochure was created by Acton & Dystel, which was promoting Obama as the author of the never-produced “Journeys in Black and White.” It was dispatched to “business colleagues” in the publishing industry.

No, you didnt post where it came from. Which is why I said, what I said. Still a false narrative as his birth certificate clearly proves. Anyone checked Romenys birth certificate? Or is he exempted because he's "pigment challenged"? Just curious.

hi itsjustme,

I would encourage you to check your facts. I think it has been well proven that President Obama was literally and actually born, meaning came out of his mother's womb breathing, in Hawaii. Which has been a state of the United States since 1959. His date of birth is August 4, 1961. So it would seem that President Obama is, in fact, a bona fide legal resident of the US. I always try to check 'facts' that one wants to make arguments with. Learning in debate class in high school that there is little more embarassing than trying to 'prove' a point and finding out in the public domain that your groundwork is flawed.

God bless you.
IN Christ, Ted

According to the woman who wrote this bio, Miriam Goderich, there was no information given to her by Obama and she assumed he was born in Kenya where his father was born and it was her fault for no fault checking.

An article done in the prior year, by the New York Times, about the young Obama says that he was born in Hawaii.

First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review



The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.

The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii....

Iisjustme, yep, it is just you who can't come to grasp of fact vs. fiction. Got any more good ones, I need another good laugh. :)

Tell me the story of Mormon colonies in Mexico of early 1900. Where a G. Romney was born as a native Mexican and snuck into USA and later ran for President of US as a Republican. I think that is a good story to share with us, how 'bout it?

The Great Barry - Mark Steyn - National Review Online

When it comes to conspiracies, I’m an Occam’s Razor man. The more obvious explanation of the variable first line in the eternally shifting sands of Obama’s biography is that, rather than pretending to have been born in Hawaii, he’s spent much of his life pretending to have been born in Kenya. After all, if your first book is an exploration of racial identity and has the working title “Journeys in Black and White,” being born in Hawaii doesn’t really help. It’s entirely irrelevant to the twin pillars of contemporary black grievance — American Slavery and European imperialism. To 99.99 percent of people, Hawaii is a luxury-vacation destination and nothing else. Whereas Kenya puts you at the heart of what, in an otherwise notably orderly decolonization process by the British, was a bitter and violent struggle against the white man’s rule. Cool! The composite chicks dig it, and the literary agents.

I think this is the most likely.

I would have wrote something more on a republican level of thought, but my keyboard can't write in Crayon. :p

I kid, I kid! :thumbsup:

Replace Republican with Politician and I think we can agree.

If we want to talk about what is "most likely," it is most likely that BHO's mother was too pregnant to travel and had to give birth before being allowed to fly. This is just common sense. No airline is going to let a nine-month pregnant woman on an international flight and claims to the contrary lack credibility.

While it's not PC to admit the entire mainstream media duped the public and few want to admit they failed their due-diligence responsibilities or others admit that they were duped, it is the obvious answer.

The fact that a mother would care enough to rush back and perform the paperwork shows she knew how important U.S. citizenship was, but also shows a willingness to bend the rules and bend perception. Is it a family trait?

Nevertheless, "most likely" isn't the standard and the issue seems settled in BHO's favor.

The founder's distinguished one and only one human's ability to hold office from another in requiring the president to be born in the U.S 1. They considered the position to be so important that they wanted only those who's love for their country was forged at birth to be president.

The majority seem to think president Obama has such a love for this country? That he shares the principles of America's founding, because he was founded here himself? That he would never advocate tearing down the constitution to install some foreign model of government? That he would never pray with his pastor to GD America?

Fine - majority rules this time. After three years of leftist policy shifts and power grabs, if the reader still thinks these Marxist tactics are what's best for America, vote to reinstall him? Most leftists don't agree with the "natural born" provision anyway.

Yeah! I'm voting to reinstall Obama! He is a great American. Re-elect Obama;4 more years!
