Well, the White House released Obama’s Speech to the Kids, and, I must admit, it wasn’t bad at all. Possibly, we’ll never know if it had been edited after all the commotion.
The only two big lies that I found in were: 1. Obama said “My father left my family when I was two years old”; and “my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and 2.my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school.” On the first one, Stanley Anne Dunham, Obama’s mother started taking classes in Seattle Washington 15 days after giving birth to him; there is no evidence that Obama Sr. and Dunham ever lived together. Obama Sr. was taking classes in Honolulu. On the second lie, Obama’s stepfather, Lolo Soetoro was an Executive for an Oil company and could easily have afforded sending him to an “American” school. The fact is that his school records from Jakarta indicate that his name was/is Barry Soetoro, indicating that he may have been adopted by his step father, so he could attend public schools. At that time, Indonesia was a police state and everyone had to carry an ID (Karty Tanda Pendudaks), and, also public schools, which he attended, were restricted to Indonesian citizens.
3. A smaller “fib” was calling his “hometown” Chicago. That is usually a word reserved for the place where you grew up, which in Barry’s case was Seattle, Honolulu, and Jakarta, then, at the age of 10, Honolulu again. Today, at 8 AM in Judge Carter’s courtroom in Santa Ana, California, Dr. Orly Taitz will be submitting a sworn affidavit along with Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate. So he may have spent a few days there as a newborn, as well.
You might say these are all small things, but to small minds, they mean a lot. He painted himself as 1.abandoned by his father and 2. an American living abroad and a 3.Chicago “homie.” In order, that would be 1. the sympathy vote, 2. “natural born citizen” vote, and 3. the “Communist” vote.
Now, let me explain a little about # 3, as it is something new to me. This is from the RomanticPoet: apparently Obama’s teenage mentor, Frank Marshall Davis,was originally from Chicago and married a white Chicago society girl, Helen Caulfield. “Davis may have known left wing journalist Vernon Jarrett in post war Chicago. A connection would be significant because the Jarrett family has played a very important role in Obama’s rise to power...Davis and Jarrett not only knew each other, but worked together in another Communist Party dominated organization-The Citizen’s Committee to Aid Packing House Workers…organized to support the united packing-House workers of America C.I.O. now on strike.“ Jarrett has admitted that it was she who who recruited Van Jones.
Vernon Jarrett was a well known journalist and Communist who helped Harold Washington defeat the Daley machine in Chicago, in 1983.That victory inspired Obama to move from New York to Chicago. This is where Obama’s Senior Advisor and personal friend, Valerie Jarrett comes on the scene. She joined the Harold Washington’s administration in 1987. She is the daughter-in-law of Vernon Jarrett. So, was she the “someone really high in power in the White House” who over-ruled the Secret Service check on Van Jones?
So, as the saying goes, tell a lie, over and over again, and it becomes the truth. And, to little minds, it might not take too long.
