History may ultimately reveal real Obama story

It will be interesting for those still alive 50 years from now to learn the true story of President Barack Hussein Obama’s birthplace. There remains uncertainty about where President Obama was born – Kenya or Hawaii. According to Obama’s Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as Obama claimed. His grandmother stated that she was proud to be present at the birth of her grandson –  in Kenya. Adding to the confusion are the conflicting stories of what hospital in Hawaii Obama was born in. Reports by his sister in two separate interviews stated that he was born at two different hospitals -- Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu. One of the reports, at least, was not true. It has been reported that Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham Obama was not well received by the Kenya family because she was white. Then the family story goes on to relate that after her arrival in Kenya to “meet the family” Ann decided to return to Hawaii because she did not like the way Muslim men treated their wives in Kenya.

Too Late in Pregnancy to leave Kenya?

However, by the time she wanted to leave Kenya, it was during the late stages of her pregnancy. She was unable to board a plane because the airlines wouldn’t allow women so close to birth to fly. It is instead believed, that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya as his grandmother reportedly stated. Then, after he was born, his mother returned with him to Hawaii where his birth was registered on or about Aug. 8, 1961, in the public records office in Hawaii. It’s a moot question now; Obama served two terms as president, whether or not he met requirements. His school records also remain hidden, adding further to the puzzle. However, there is little doubt that he was raised by his stepfather in Indonesia.

Obamas buy Exclusive Estate

Meanwhile it is reported by Forbes that the Obamas have purchased a 29-acre, $14.85 million estate in Martha’s Vineyard from Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck. That’s a high hurdle for someone on a government salary. But then a lot of federal government politicians come out wealthy these days. And it is reported that Michelle Obama has become a best-selling author. Off the coast of Cape Cod and reachable only by boat or plane, Martha’s Vineyard has long been a popular summer destination for top-shelf politicians, from the Kennedy clan and former Secretary of State John Kerry to the Clinton family. Perhaps the former president will help clear up the confusion at some point – or some future historian will dig up a verifiable account. Meanwhile, Obama continues to interfere with current administration actions, contrary to what other past presidents have done. But what could one expect from a former community organizer trained in the Saul Alinsky method?

‘Religiously Unaffiliated’ Back Democrats, DNC Reports

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee’s “Resolution Regarding the Religiously Unaffiliated Demographic” states that “religiously unaffiliated Americans overwhelmingly share the Democratic Party’s values,” and “have often been subjected to unfair bias and exclusion in American society.” That could explain the anti-Christian bias pushed by so many colleges and universities today. DNC Chairman Tom Perez has been openly critical of church-going Americans in the past. Perez said in December 2018 that Republicans have an advantage because “people buy” what they hear at church. On the political front, Heritage Foundation points out this dumbfounding claim by former Vice President Joe Biden that President Trump’s tax cuts don’t work. Heritage wrote: “Former Vice President Joe Biden stated last week that ‘even The Heritage Foundation has ‘pointed out’ that President Donald Trump’s tax cuts did not work. There’s just one problem: It’s not true. Adam Michel, a senior policy analyst in Heritage’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told Fox News that Biden’s comments left him ‘dumbfounded.’ Michel responded in multiple news interviews. “I think I’ve written something basically every week for the last year that says the tax cuts are working.” He even wrote a piece on why Biden’s proposal to repeal the 2017 tax is counter-productive. Bumbling Joe, the front-runner for the Democrat presidential nomination, can’t open his mouth without inserting his foot. We can only guess that President Trump hopes that gaffe-a-minute Biden, who has dumped his down home, ah shucks style to pursue the left-wing nonsense of the rest of the Democrat field, will become the party’s candidate. Biden would undoubtedly try to pull to the center in a presidential campaign but his mouth may have already destroyed any hope of that working.

Joe probably figures he will be okay because he will have the major media to cover for him. Their theme song will be “ Trump makes ‘em, too.”

Time will tell if it works.

The economy at the time will likely tell the tale.

The political pros have long said that people vote their pocketbooks.
