Finally. we have some clarity on where Barack Obama Jr. was born. (This is not birth certificate related)
It seems he was born in Honolulu! At two different hospitals.

Divine? You be the judge.

A United Press International report from Nov. 4 states:

“Obama described his birth at Queen's Medical Center in Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961”

But on 1/24/09, he wrote to Kap'olani Medical Center; “As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi'olani Medical Center -the place of my birth - I am pleased…”

At least he is now on record saying he was born in America. I'm feeling better now.

I tried googling that UPI report and all I found are blogs claiming that it exists, but I can't find the report itself.

There's so much misinformation going around! Could you please direct me to the actual report?

Thanks!

How can someone describe their own birth? Come on as Judge Judy would say, that is hear say, inadmissible!

<<I tried googling that UPI report and all I found are blogs claiming that it exists, but I can't find the report itself.>>

I found a blog with a link. The link doesn't say what the blogger says. Gullible's travels:

“Obama described his birth at Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961, to a young white woman from Kansas and a father of Luo ethnicity from Nyanza province in Kenya, as an “all-America” story transcending orthodox racial stereotypes and experience. Even his name — Barack means “one who is blessed” in Swahili — seemed to signal great things for Obama.”

Here is the article from UPI on that date.

<<How can someone describe their own birth?>>
“It was a big scary tunnel and a guy with a mask was waiting at the other end. Stil, infused with the audacity of hope, I pressed on. Besides, it was getting cramped in there.”

Here's the original UPI article:
http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/11/0…

It says he was born at Kap'olani Medical Center, not Queen's.

“Obama described his birth at Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961, to a young white woman from Kansas and a father of Luo ethnicity from Nyanza province in Kenya,…”

Seems the Birfers have been duped again.

What a surprise.

Thanks very much! I thought the original claim sounded fishy.

Now let's see if Gary D. Rhodes has the integrity to come forward and acknowledge his misstatement.

when I've checked in here on occasion and glanced at the sidebars, it always cracked me up to see rhodes on bc thread AGAIN! How much can you say about this—and now he starts it up again, please call this the bc thread again, just to see how many thousands of posts can be written on the topic. The definition of obsession, not to mention conspiracy theories.

LOL, I can't believe it — Gary has come back throwing another barb at Obama right after we've discovered that his post was based on a lie!

Some people have no shame. But at least his mendacity is out in the open.

Gary,

Take it back to the BC thread, because the bottom line is you don't think he was born at either hospital.

Good one Gary.

This reminds me of the roadhouse in Talkeetna Alaska. There is a sign over the front door that reads “Hippies use side door.”

As you walk around the place you notice there is no side door.

There is a door. Custom made for you.

Just trying to help you do your “watch dog” job.

I don't want you to get caught with your pants down when the truth is uncovered about the most secretive and unknown president ever.

Maybe Jeraldo can host a special. “The secret documents uncovered.”

Geraldo?

By “watch dog” surely you meant “lap dog.”

That is a very jovial description of birth, Gary. Has a ring of joy about it.

Now, can you write something similar for the one who has his skull punctured and his “audacity of hope” crushed?

I know, bringing this topic up can be a real downer for … everyone. And maybe that is the point.

Rhodes, interesting that you would bring up abortion. And if the fetus hadn't had its skull crushed just think of this:

1. Dr. Tiller number 2.
2. A President Barack Obama where conspiracy theorists come up with all sorts of theories as to how he can't even be American 2.
3. Another Bill Clinton.
4. Another Hillary Clinton.
5. A Dave Letterman type who comes up with crude jokes to tell on MSM late night.
6. Another pug ugly “liberal” to throw darts at on blogs such as this.
7. Add your own______________________ here.

Excuse me, LOL! “Richard.” Right, he won't be reading this. So it is best to direct it to the dude who will.
