The
other night, MSNBC's Chris Matthews argued on his "Hardball" show that
Americans would be wise to re-elect Obama because he's "the candidate
we know." He claimed he's a trusted brand who "is who he seems to
be."

IMD
uses this to segue into new "birther" territory, at least new to
me. They propose that Obama fictionalized a Kenyan
citizenship in order to get into colleges he was otherwise
denied entrance to, because of poor grades.

.Why
would Obama fictionalize his life story? For answers, let's go back to
1991. At the time he got his book deal, Obama was graduating from
Harvard Law School, which required strong grades for entry. Yet by all
accounts, Obama had weak grades. Did he juice his application — a la
his Harvard law pal, Elizabeth "Cherokee Liz" Warren — to hedge his bet
in case his minority status wasn't exotic enough to overcome his grades?
Northwestern University professor John McKnight said a desperate Obama
approached him for a letter of recommendation to Harvard, because he
couldn't get any of his undergrad professors to pen one due to
underwhelming academics. McKnight was one of Obama's radical Alinsky
trainers and a key mentor, but not one of his professors.

This is very interesting. Percy Sutton,
renowned civil rights activist and Manhattan borough president from
1966 to 1977, says that Dr. Khalid
al Mansour approached him to intercede with Harvard, and get Obama
accepted. Which he did [video].
Obama later called Sutton's account a lie. So, IBD makes an
interesting, even compelling argument for his Hawaiian birth.
Except
for this.
He was forced to issue an acknowledged (by the mere fact of it being updated three times to meet
deficiencies) fraudulent Certificate
of Live Birth
through an intermediary (DAILY KOS). And then forced, by
the prospect
of being left off some state ballots in 2012, to produce a seemingly
actual
Hawaiian birth certificate— which was immediately proved to be
fraudulent. These are inarguable facts.
Now, Obama would hardly be the first Black person to use affirmative
action
programs, nor lie on an application. It might be
embarrassing now for
him to admit it, but not a career killer (for a democrat).
But— being actually born in
Kenya sure is.
It's difficult to say when key democrats (Pelosi+) became aware
of
the birth problem, but in what looks like a hedge, they raised the
issue of John McCain's citizenship in
January 2008, just 4-5 months before Obama's birth was first
publicly
questioned by an Israeli journalist. Now all of government have a
vested interest in covering up. That's right. The constitutional
crisis that would follow a truthful account terrifies them; threatens
their government sinecures at the hands of an outraged public.
We public cannot handle the truth , of course.
One final thing. Why is it that everybody feels compelled, when
discussing his birth issue, to begin "I believe he was born in
Hawaii,
but ...? Why not "I HOPE he was born in Hawaii, but ...
? I mean,
given the entirety of the evidence produced by both sides, on what
basis can anyone "believe?" |
