I just found out that Barack Obama Sr. already had a wife in Kenya while Obama was being born
Edited on Wed Nov-18-09 06:11 PM by LovinLife
Shouldn't that end the Birthers? Why would he take his new American wife back to Kenya? Apparently Ann Dunham didn't find out about his other wife until much later. Interesting. I've been reading up on Mark Obama. He's interesting. i wonder if he could do Geithner's job.


I suppose he still could've been born in Kenya. :sarcasm:

Or something like that.

4. How did u get that from what I said? I'm saying this should end the Birthers
Its highly unlikely he would take his American Wife back to Kenya. And then Ann Dunham didn't even learn of his other family until after POTUS was born.

Your words. And when you post something outrageous like this, you should provide a link. It sounds like something sent from one freeper to another by e-mail.

23. So what are you trying to say?
I hope you're not implying that that isn't his real father.

8. Intercourse the birthers!
Nothing is going to change their microencephalic minds anyway, so fuck 'em & feed 'em fish heads. Point & laugh. Logic is wasted on these pinheads (apologies to Zippy).

9. Why would you think he was
qualified to be Treasury Secretary? Absurd!

Also absurd is your statement that you "suppose" he still could have been born in Kenya. He wasn't born in Kenya, all the proof is our there. He has just as much proof that he was born in Hawaii, as I have that I was born in Philadelphia. Criminy!

12. He's actually ran a successful business and is prospering in the country we borrow money from.
I think a plant can do a better job than Geithner.

18. Lots of people
run successful businesses in all parts of the world. Doesn't mean they should get jobs within our government.

19. That doesn't
mean he should get the job. I'm sorry, I just find the mere suggestion that the President's half-brother should be the next Treasury Secretary absurd.

22. clearly it was a joke. I don't really think POTUS would give his brother Geithner's job. We're
turning into humorless repukes now aren't we?

24. JFK named his brother as Attorney General
He was a damn good one, from what I know. A little before my time, I must admit.

That said, I don't know much about Obama's brother. But even Billy Carter couldn't do worse than Geithner.

14. Like any of the Birther or Orly Taitz stories are relevant to anything. Just
something to talk about.

13. And, Why "could he still have been born in Kenya"?
When he was born on Oahu, Hawai'i on August 4, 1961?

How is that possible?

26. Some Brit described Sr. as "feckless" for his way with wives; more true is the Kenyan journo who
... the Kenyan journalist who described our President's parentage as having been of a Kenyan economist and an American anthropologist, thus highlighting the intelligence and accomplishments of both of his parents.

As for the multiple marriages -- as a Muslim, Obama Senior probably had the right, within his own culture and religion. I think he probably also knew better, because he was not unacquainted with British customs.

Nonetheless, as has many a man before him, Obama Senior "did the right thing" by marrying Obama Junior's mother Ann. Right?
