Obama Born In Kenya? His Grandmother Says Yes
israelenews.com — Someone is lying. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged ... that she was present in the delivery room ... in Kenya!

- omarga, on 10/13/2008, -5/+32Obama's father's name is also Barack Hussein Obama; and he (his father) was born in Kenya.
- msmary67, on 10/13/2008, -3/+34There is video on you tube of a multitude of Kenyan Citizens who are confident in the knowledge that Barack Obama is not only of Keyan descent,but actually BORN THERE!!! So saying an entire population of people are liars will not fly on this one.There is also the fact that he and his sister seem to be a little confused as to which Hospital in Hawaii he claims to have been born in.She says this one,he says that one.Is it not strange that no Doctor,Nurse,or other employee of mystery hospital has stepped forward and said "Yes,I remember him being born here"??? It's not like Barack Hussein Obama is a common everyday name,you would think SOMEONE would remember this.And he is not so old that every one would be dead by now either.I think the cat is out of the bag on this one.Had he been vetted properly,this would be a non issue and would right now have the most experienced nominee of the entire bunch.Senator Hillary Clinton.Sha had the most votes,and delegates had they been counted properly.So I would imagine Pelosi,Reid,Brazile and Dean must be in on this one.
- Kappy67, on 10/13/2008, -4/+35It would take Obama seconds to hand his "Original" documents over to the judge..BUT, instead, he has RESISTED at every turn. WHY?? Instead, they file a "Motion To Delay". The time, effort, money they spent doing that, WHY? When Obama could take seconds to hand the documents over to the judge. I don't care if you're Dem., Rep., or Ind., WE should ALL DEMAND that Mr. Obama relinquish ALL his "ORIGINAL" Documents. You know that saying, "WE, THE PEOPLE ..."!!

- suzycarpenter, on 10/13/2008, -3/+32Is this for real? Why would this not be checked before he ran for the highest office of the land? Guess we should make the rule that anyone running for President would have to show proof of citizenship before he started a campaign.
- drachemorder, on 10/13/2008, -3/+31I would very much like to see an affirmative defense from someone on Obama's side that proves he was born in Hawaii. By that, I mean I want someone to show me real evidence that proves he's eligible to ruin --- not merely arguing that the accusations are ridiculous. I used to think they were off the deep end myself, until I heard that Obama won't simply cough up the documents, and that these Kenyan people are claiming he was born there. Those are substantive arguments against Obama and deserve substantive answers.
- Christinewjc, on 10/13/2008, -2/+18drachemorder -
Your little misspelling in your comment may prove to be correct about Obama's candidacy!
"...that proves he's eligible to RUIN."- drachemorder, on 10/13/2008, -0/+14Freudian slip perhaps... ;)
- Egoist, on 10/13/2008, -2/+10Even if he was born in Kenya, the fact that his mother is an American citizen negates the whole attack.
"Child born abroad to one U.S. Citizen parent and one non-U.S. Citizen between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986. A child born outside of the United States to one U.S. Citizen parent and one non-U.S. Citizen parent, may be entitled to citizenship providing the U.S. Citizen parent had, prior to the birth of the child, been physically present in the United States for a period of ten years, at least five years of which were after s/he reached the age of fourteen."
Also even if he was adopted by his father and obtained Indonesian citizenship to go to school, his American citizenship would still be valid unless he went through the steps to renounce it.
Not to be the conspiracy theorist, but the only place this article is found is in an Israeli newspaper and the person bringing the lawsuit against Obama over this is a major cog of the Israeli lobby. It wouldn't be a stretch to believe that given Obama's intentions to appease Iran instead of confronting them, the Israeli lobby is trying to throw wrenches into Obama's campaign and give McCain a little more leverage.
I'm voting for McCain, but this is really just a hit piece and should be treated as such.- drachemorder, on 10/13/2008, -0/+10"A child born outside of the United States to one U.S. Citizen parent and one non-U.S. Citizen parent, may be entitled to citizenship providing the U.S. Citizen parent had, prior to the birth of the child, been physically present in the United States for a period of ten years, at least five years of which were after s/he reached the age of fourteen."
Obama's mother was not old enough to qualify under that clause. - cersad, on 10/14/2008, -0/+6Thank you for actually looking up something useful and relevant to the conversation. This is interesting, though, in that a fifteen-year-old American-born girl could leave to a foreign country, get pregnant, and be unable to bring her child back as a US citizen.
Out of curiosity, what is the law for children born after November 13, 1986? - Egoist, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5Obama's mother was 18, almost 19 at the time of his birth. She conceived when she was 17. In the law it states that it does not include time on vacation, and since I'm not an attorney, I do not know how that would factor in. I would wager to guess that as long as he didn't go through the process of renouncing his US citizenship, he was born an US citizen and retained that citizenship.
After November 13, 1986, the time limits were reduced to being physically in the US for 5 years, with only 2 being after the age of 14.
Really, as much as I would love to see Obama invalidated publicly, we're going to have to beat him on the ballot, not on technicalities. - joinforfree, on 10/15/2008, -0/+21. His mother was not a legal adult when he was born.
2. His Mombasa Kenya HOSPITAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE is about to surface.
3. The Hawaii document is just evidence that a birth was registered (Mom flew to Hawaii and registered days after the real birth in Kenya).
4. He was legally adopted by his Indonesian step father and gained Indonesian citizenship. (Duel citizenship is not allowed to be a U.S. President.)
5. Upon returning to the U.S., Obama did not restate his U.S. citizenship. (He is therefore an illegal alien and unqualified to be President.)
6. He is additional a felon for lying on his state of Illinois Bar Association application. He stated that he had no aliases but has been proven to have FOUR ADDITIONAL NAMES:
1. Barry Soetoro
2. Barack Dunham
3. Barry Obama
4. Barry Dunham
Your research into these facts can yield only one result -- Mr. Obama is both unfit and unqualified to lead this country.

- PuterPrsn, on 10/13/2008, -1/+12But ... but ... but all of the on-line sources say his birth certificate says Hawaii. Which one?
- Zacktopia, on 10/13/2008, -1/+12Granny #1 has already been thrown under the bus as a racist. Granny #2 better get ready to be similarly tossed as a liar.
- osko2052, on 10/13/2008, -1/+17Maybe it's not a coincidence that the Clintons said Obama wasn't constitutionally eligible to run for president.
- tjordanchat, on 10/13/2008, -6/+6People say stuff about their opponent to better their chances of winning. Ethics get tossed in the wind. Point is Barack Obama IS an American Citizen and a lot of electricity went to talk about nothing of any significance. Go Green People.
- czeman, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4I agree with you, but why isn't he attempting to prove the "rumor" wrong with some actual evidence?
- Nattybumpoe, on 10/13/2008, -1/+7Keep that straight talk express going baby! Woo WOO!

- waggdogg, on 10/14/2008, -3/+2Citizen by birth, Muslim by blood.
- czeman, on 10/14/2008, -0/+8Let's see Barry's documents already. Why hasn't he attempted to put the "rumors" to rest yet? I will not make any assumptions that he IS hiding something, but you know what they say about things that walk like a duck and talk like a duck!

Section 1 of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that a President must:
-be a natural born citizen of the united States
-be at least 35 years old
-have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years
McCain/Palin '08
I've never looked forward to an election as much as I am this year. - seeingright, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Philip Berg vs. Obama on the Birth Certificate lawsuit.. Illuminattitv did a video interview with Philip Berg. This is an UPDATE.. it is a really interesting video, well done!

http://seeingright.com - Egoist, on 10/14/2008, -1/+2Ooops, commented in the wrong place.
- Veriander, on 10/14/2008, -2/+1McCain's citizenship was also called into question - he was born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936. McCain's campaign staff cleared up any question of his citizenship and Senate Resolution 511 affirmed his status as a natural born citizen. He faced the question and took care of it.
Why hasn't Obama addressed this issue forthrightly?? I'll say this -- if Obama becomes President and it turns out he is not a citizen, there *will* be an impeachment, and unlike Bill Clinton, he *will* loose his office. Better for Obama to resolve this issue now. - joinforfree, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Shhhhhh!! The mainstream media demands this article be buried. Do not tell anyone about this! Barack Hussein Obama was born in Mombasa Kenya, but pleaaassseee don't tell anyone!! It is our little secret.
Google search: Obama birth certificate
p.s. Regarding John McCain, he was born of two adult U.S. Citizens on a U.S. military base. No comparison. - joinforfree, on 10/15/2008, -0/+21. His mother was not a legal adult when he was born.
2. His Mombasa Kenya HOSPITAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE is about to surface.
3. The Hawaii document is just evidence that a birth was registered (Mom flew to Hawaii and registered days after the real birth in Kenya).

5. Upon returning to the U.S., Obama did not restate his U.S. citizenship. (He is therefore an illegal alien and unqualified to be President.)
6. He is additionally an uncharged felon for lying on his state of Illinois Bar Association application. He stated that he had no aliases but has been proven to have FOUR ADDITIONAL NAMES:
1. Barry Soetoro
2. Barack Dunham
3. Barry Obama
4. Barry Dunham

AMERICANS DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH

Please pass this on to everyone you know - westyvw, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1Which is why you can get a micro-fiche of the Honolulu Advertiser and see the birth announcement?
This is a pretty silly conspiracy theory. Can you do better? I think Obama is actually McCain's love child from the Aliens that held him captive as a POW (Prisoner Out of World). Its so obvious.
