She probably meant his home country on his Father's side. But it is wise to listen and understand how Barack and Michelle think. This is a prime example.

I don't think that the liberal mindset here wants to discuss the fact that Obama and Michelle claim another country, other than America, as the President of the United States' home country. I don't know why. Maybe they can tell us?

I am honestly very surprised that there have been no other responses to Blebs' post by those defending the President, I expected a barrage of opposition. Maybe the populace are tired of political posts, or maybe the whole "born in Africa" thing has been beaten to death.
I personally believe that he was in fact born in Africa and she slipped up, and did a very good job of covering the fact by continuing on as if nothing happened. Or she just didn't realize at that time what she said. Either way, I believe she was speaking about Barack, not his father.
"Barack has led by example. When we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country in Kenya..." pretty much says it all. I have seen longer versions of this and she never mentions Baracks father being with them on the trip to Africa, which would have indicated that she was talking about his home country.
But I understand what you meant when you said maybe she was talking about his fathers home country. Very poor choice of wording on her part if that is what she meant.

There's nothing to say. It's been proven already that the President was born in the United States. Birthers however prefer to believe what they want. That's their right to think that way no matter how fallible their thinking is.

Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 1 2008: "This has gotten ridiculous," state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday. "There are plenty of other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy." . . . Will this be enough to quiet the doubters? "I hope so," Fukino said. "We need to get some work done."

Fukino said she has “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

That's pretty much it..and I feel the same..(hey, someone with "ties" can get credible paperwork done and can get people to vouch for anything) although it doesn't really matter to me where someone was born.

If legit evidence ever does come to light that he was born in Africa, lets hope it's after November, since you know the current Obama Zombies in Congress won't impeach him.

I didn't think of Michelle's "slip up" as an indication that Obama was born in Kenya. But, that made her comment all the more bizarre to me. Clearly she was trying to be Politically correct with someone. Maybe the ones from whom votes and funding is more likely to come.

Could she have meant the home of Obama's roots?

I can't understand why she would call him a Kenyan? That was around the 2:13 minute mark btw.

She is probably just talking about his ancestry. Don't forget that they are African Americans.

It was important to her that he is not referred to as an African American but rather specifically a Kenyan. And this was not a Kenyan crowd she was addressing when she said that.

Would that make their children Kenyans?

Do our president and first lady not sound white enough for you? Did you ever stop to think that it may be important to them to retain the ancestral identity?

jeremyboycool · Post by **jeremyboycool** » Wed May 12, 2010 3:36 pm

Do you people, as in those who claim he was born in Africa, have anything real?

I am not interested in answering your question. Maybe you should ask Obama, they are after all his kids and I am sure he would know more about their genealogy then I would or you.

Well if he was born in the United States, why all the hulabaloo to keep all documention of it a secret? What's hidden that shouldn't be seen? Why now, is it enacted that in the future, birth certificates and other proof of citizenship must be provided by the nominating party? Too many questions and not enough answers. If one of us common people tried this crap, we'd be on the sidelines.

Americans are typically from somewhere. The Italians, Irish, Poles, Ukrainians hold on to their ancestries and customs much like recent immigrants from Latin America. That said, there is nothing all that surprising here.

All the paper work was provided. Where did you even get this idea that it wasn't?

Even if he's not an natural-born citizen, no one will give a damn.

I wrote a blog post about this a while back.

People don't care about anything else that's happening, and compared to things that directly affect their lives like health care or taxation, an obscure requirement from the Constitution they were never taught about in school means zilch to them.

Hell, Orrin Hatch wanted to ditch the America-born requirement so Schwarzenegger could run. I heard nothing from the right-wingers then; most were walking around with red, white and blue boners because the Terminator has an R by his name!

If he's 100% American or a ringer, he's in office now. Bush and his cronies lied outright to the American people and the world about Iraq's scaaaary WMDs, and nothing happened to them. So, big deal if he's a programmed automaton from the planet Blackula.

It's a canard piked by people who don't like Obama and his policies.

Bush did not lie about the WMD's, nor did British Intelligence. Nor did anyone else. You need to bone up on the facts, boy.

You may have missed my point. Michelle refers to Obama as a Kenyan because his Father was from Kenya. Would then Obama's children be called Kenyans if their Grandfather was from Kenya?

My Grandfather was born in Ukraine. I do not call myself a Ukrainian. I am an American of Ukrainian descent.

They will call themselves whatever they want to call themselves. Why do you have problem with that? If you have not noticed, the black community generally is very big on persevering their culture.

"My Grandfather was born in Ukraine. I do not call myself a Ukrainian. I am an American of Ukrainian descent."

I was relating that my experience was similar to Obama's childrens regarding their grandfather. I am inquisitive to the cultural aspect of how one identifies themselves regarding their heritage.

As President and First Family, they hold my interest a bit longer than the average person.

It appears that this is way over your head. Maybe I'll take this subject up with someone more perceptive than you.

And you wonder why people call you out as an instigator?

I have nothing to do with this thread short of calling out this post as uncalled for.

jbc can be frustrating to discuss things with sometimes (not seeing it in this thread) but that doesn't call for disrespecting him or using his age or sexuality as things to hold against him.

Roody, I got asked if everyone has to do things my way, as though my point was petty. And I wasn't.

Then I was told that a legitimate question was to argue for the sake of arguing and it was not.

In this instance because your remarks were hypocritical. You claim that they gave you a hard time, but I see nothing from them that comes close to the level of attacks you directed at them. In particular your shot at jeremy's sexual preference as if that had anything to do with the issue at hand.

All I'm sure of is that tonight I was attacked by Burke twice and there is no comment on that. So I called him "boy". So what. Do you know what he said to me earlier on my two threads?

You know what I think the problem is here? why this site is dying? When an outsider comes in and has the gall to express themselves as they please, some folks here get up in arms. But, together you form a coalition that turns that offending outsider into a bad guy. How are you going to grow if this is how you treat outsiders who are trying to find a niche here?

If I leave, some of you will be glad I left. And the board will die again.

I suggest you look at my convos with those I have had differences with and you will find that every time, they have instigated it with a derogatory comment first.

The "boy" comment to Burke was no worse than jawz calling me a grandma.

What, do I upset the pecking order here?

Maybe you guys are too set in your ways for open discussion without all the vitriol you show towards outsiders.

I'm not apologizing this time.
