Will the liberals ever tell us the truth?

Today, Breitbart News released another piece of President Obama’s past.  Now, let me be absolutely clear.  I am not a “birther”.  That is NOT the point of this post.  The point is honesty. 

A 1991 announcement of now President Obama’s  credentials  in anticipation of a book he was writing said this:

Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.  [emphasis supplied]

Of course, President Obama  did not write those words, his agent did.  But, I find it hard to believe that his agent did not first send that “bio”to the President for review, or, did not speak with President Obama before those words were published.

This brings to mind the claims of Elizabeth Warren (D. Ma.) about her native American heritage…dubious, at best.  It almost seems as if those on the left will say, or allowed to be said about them, whatever is necessary to accomplish their goals at that moment in time.

But, maybe that is just me.

    This story will never be allowed to end.

      It won’t end until the truth escapes the cage it was locked it! ?Nor should it!

    No.

    Has it shown up in the National Enquirer yet?

    I think that, in this case, political correctness has replaced Constitutional qualifications and requirements for presidency.? If Obama flat out admitted in front of a hot mike that he was born in Kenya, the outcome would be the same:? no one would pursue it and anyone who commented on it would be labeled a birther and would (figuratively) be spit upon.? Okay, they’d probably be literally spit upon AND called a racist.?
    The only way to take care of this is with a Romney win in November.? Because the left_just_does_not_care_about_the_rules.? Which leads to lying and covering up.
    The truth will out–whatever it may be…it’ll probably be too late to undo all the damage he’s done, but wouldn’t it be a thrill to watch the liberal media have to report the story if it were the case that he *was* born in Kenya?? I’ve heard that karma can be a real hag at times.

    As an aircraft quality engineer, the mantra was “show me the objective evidence”.? I have not seen, or do I know of anyone who has seen, the objective evidence.? Ergo, ….

    This story will probably never die. Even if the truth is favorable to one side, the other side will challenge it. It is worthy of an Enquirer spread.
    To me it is just more distraction from the fact that Obama is the most disastrous president this country has ever had. It will take centuries to undo the damage he has done to America.

    All this reminds me of the WMD saga. Dems hammering away and Repubs sticking to the old stories.



    • PatRiot on May 19, 2012 at 9:06 am

      They did have WMD’s.? We sold them to Hussein.? He used some of them on the Kurds, but not all.? When you sell dangerous items, you have a tendency to keep track of them so they are not used against you.

    The point Sammy is that there is no story. The O has deliberately followed a pattern of obfuscation and non-disclosure from the start. How did he do in school? We don’t know. Why are all of his personal documents from his early life (with the exception of his biography which can only be suspect factually) not available? In the absence of any story at all how can you wonder that there will continue to be questions asked? This is a tempest of his own making, and you do have to wonder at this point what indeed he is hiding. I personally don’t care where he came from – I just want him back there …?

    I respect SOS and Breitbart to the highest degree. So, I appreciate this post. However, personally, I don’t care where President Obama was born. The vetting should have been done by the MSM and Democrat Party before he was nominated.? Therefore, I accept their conclusions that he was eligible. We have a history of actions? done so there was no disruption to the flow of the government ie. resignation of Nixon, not forcing President Clinton from his office, and acceptance of the Kennedy flings with Judy Exeter with her mob connections. Besides nothing can save us from the havoc unleashed by President Obama, the worst President of the U.S., in my humble opinion.



  10. Lynn on May 22, 2012 at 10:39 am

    I should address the strict Constitutionalists. If it said in the Constitution, that removing a President from office, would nullify all of the actions during his Presidency, than I would support it. Otherwise let’s put our energies in getting Governor Romney elected. ABO

    Why do we side with the “no names” lefty crowd and toss around the pejorative “birther”??? I’m first in family born here, shortly after Barry, and it’s hard to not have a paper trail which includes tiny ink footprints, 30 year old passports which document occasionally leaving and then coming right back within a few weeks, old photos with American cars in the background…? An illegal with ivy league pedigrees, narcissistic personality disorder, sense of entitlement, sealed transcripts, desire to destroy America, pathological liar…? If it quacks, it’s a duck!? Even the Freudian slip on his Muslim faith- he’s a poseur.? He says light is the best disinfectant, but he’s soooo secretive…? His mother wasn’t even legal when she got pregnant- or was he born prematurely?
