Obama Birth Certificate Controversy Continues

(Prudent Press Agency)— Even though the main stream media ignores the Obama birth certificate controversy it still rages on the internet in articles and blogs. Is it extraneous nonsense, conspiracy claptrap and internet hype. Not by a long shot. Here’s why.

Because of the Supreme Courts refusal to hear the cases put before them after conferencing them the speculation about Obama’s missing documents including his signed birth certificate from the state of Hawaii, the mystery grows, the intrigue is compelling and the arguments have become the most volatile on the web.

In the absence of judicial intervention all the questioners and petitioners have only one avenue of recourse and that is to keep plugging away. With new cases arising and old cases still pending the latest thrust is to approach legislators with the question.

Advancing the dignity of children and youth around the world… Positively Impact Someone’s Life Today

Often overlooked is the simple wisdom used in the logic of both the main stream media and the naysayers in general. In fact the very premise the naysayers are basing their argument on should be turned on them to be most effective. What is that argument?

If the main stream media completely ignores the whole matter it looks like it is no more than the ranting of a few conspiracy theorists and discontented blogospherians. It is a way of saying that the internet hasn’t a clue and bloggers are just blabbermouths to start with so how could they possibly approach the dignity and acceptability of the of the msm? This idea should be set against the pompous for the greatest effect. That argument goes like this.

It was not the Supreme Court that vetted Obama, not the state courts, not the election commissions, not the attorneys general, not the legislature, not the DNC and not the Hawaii Office of Vital Statistics. Just who did vet Barack Obama? You guessed it, the internet!

The document Obama and the DNC offered which is now alleged to be fraudulent was posted only to the internet. The Daily Kos may be the high holy blog spot for space mountain type ego-centric wordsmithing, foul language and liberal blather but it is not the Supreme Court. Snopes and Factcheck are pretty close neighbors to the Kos. Regardless of who owns these sites they are merely more of the same; the internet!

When the msm, the DNC or anyone else tries to portray the Obama documentation activists as a group of conspiracy enthusiasts limited to the undisciplined ravings of the internet it is truly the pot calling the kettle black.

Nothing significant about Obama’s past has ever gone beyond the internet. Should he or his ka-zillion swaggering adorers be surprised that some Americans are now asking for much more than that? Haven’t they noticed that those who are now raising the question of Obama’s eligibility are only reporting on the internet they are not asking the internet to settle the issue. That’s more than we’ve gotten so far!

I am not a legal expert or well versed constitutionalist but I’m certain that the vetting of presidential candidates was never assigned by any law of this land to the internet. It was Barack Obama who showed his documents to the world on a medium that shows countless hours of videos where people try to jump off buildings on to a watermelon or swallow rubber ducky’s to entertain the blithering. Should we take them seriously, should we take him seriously?

I will not callously insult the fine internet sites that exist by lumping them all in the same category. What I must do is remind those seeking the truth that if it is the only medium you now have to get to the truth until someone in our legal system catches the drift, so keep holding the line and know that millions of us are counting on you.

Just when all hope seems gone the tide has begun to change. Obama’s naiveté in foreign affairs is looking more Carter-ish and his ability to swing votes in the bailout battle makes him look weak at home or at the least too inexperienced as many have sagely warned.

Then along comes Guantanamo judge Col. James L. Pohl who recently rejected the president’s request to halt the proceedings of the military tribunal being conducted to prosecute terrorism suspects. Kudos to the Colonel! Maybe he will embolden the squeamish Supremes and other judges to re-think their refusals to let the matter be answered once and for all.

Until Obama offers more than an internet vetting of his documents those who are now forced to air their grievances and questions only on the web should not be the least bit dismayed. They are doing no better or worse than Barack Obama even without the msm and an entourage of entranced worshippers.

How Obama Roots followed his Senate race & what they “Expected” Then; Imagine what they expect NOW

The following article appeared in August 2004, just after David Axelrod had manipulated the John Kerry staff into giving the unknown state Senator from Illinois the KEYNOTE SPEAKER position at the 2004 Democratic convention:

Kenya: Special Report: Sleepy Little Village Where Obama Traces His Own Roots

John Oywa

15 August 2004

---

Nairobi — His sudden rise to stardom has stunned many. Analysts toast him as one of the most brilliant and popular black politicians in the United States in recent times.

Others taunt him as a “skinny kid with a funny name,” whose Kenyan father herded goats and lived in a remote village in Siaya, Nyanza province.

With his cousin Yusuf Okoth Obama, when he visited his father’s home in Alego, Siaya, 10 years ago. e

But excited admirers both in Kenya and the US celebrate him as a political superstar and a beacon of hope for his people.

As a front runner in the United States Illinois Senate campaigns, Barack Obama Jr has raised a cloud of excitement in the international political arena.

After delivering a well received public speech at the National Democratic Convention in Boston last month, there are some Americans who now believe he is a future candidate for the White House.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, as it were, in the sleepy village of Alego-Kogello where Barack Obama Snr grew up, they call the prospective Senator “Wuod Sarah”, Dholuo for “the son of Sarah”, Sarah being his foster grandmother.

Obama’s real grand mother – the late Habiba Akumu separated with his grandfather, thus forcing Sarah to step in to care for him.

Agitated villagers are waiting in awe. What if Obama wins the Senate seat in the November 2 elections? Will he return home with bags of dollars? Will the rocky road leading to their village be tarmacked? Will their mud-walled schools where Obama’s father and cousins once schooled be improved?

As the US senate campaign hots up, Obama mania is sweeping through Alego.

Villagers here now buy newspapers to read every tid bit they can find about their American kin. The rest have their ears glued to battered transistor radios to keep abreast with the latest information about Obama Jr’s political exploits.

Everyone you meet in the area wants to be associated either with Obama Jr, his father or even distant relatives.

Newly-born children and oxen, are being named after him. There are even suggestions that a village path leading to a local market be named after him.

With his father, the late Barack Obama senior (second left, in glasses), his step mother Keziah (seated, left) and step brothers Malik , Sadik and sister Auma.

To these simple villagers, news that Obama was causing a political stir in the world’s most powerful country is a miracle. “Ma en hono maduong” (this is a big miracle), says 50-year-old Martin Onyango.

“Wamor kod wuod Sarah. Otingo’ nying Kenya malo” (We are happy with Sarah’s son, he has elevated Kenya’ name),” says Onyango as he chews sugarcane.

Some of the people of Alego believe Obama’s rising fortunes will translate into increased employment opportunities, better roads and education opportunities. A few are even optimistic that even the dusty Nyang’oma-Kogello market will be upgraded to a big town, complete with an airstrip.

“We don’t expect a whole Senator to drive to his home village. We expect him to fly direct and land at Nyang’oma,” says George Onyango, a 20-year-old barber.

The prospective Senator’s sister-in-law Fauziah Anyango, wife to his step-brother Malik Obama, told the Sunday Nation that she was eager to meet her heroic in-law.

Said she: “I have not met him but I pray that he wins the Senate seat. His victory will not be for us, but for Kenya and Africa.”

A Sunday Nation team that set out to trace Obama’s roots was surprised to find that, unknown to many, Obama has actually been to this village twice. First in 1983, when he had come to mourn his late father, Barack Hussein Obama, who had died in Nairobi in 1982; and again in 1995 when he brought home his young bride to show her his roots.

During both visits, the villagers paid little or no attention to him. He managed to slip quietly into the village, pray at his father’s graveyard and meet a few relatives and villagers.

Family members told the Sunday Nation that they taught his bride how to use traditional pots (Agulu) to fetch water from a nearby stream.

Obama Jr and his bride spent nearly a week sleeping in a tiny room in his foster grandmother’s old brick house and ate traditional foods.

The ropes from which he hung a mosquito net at his grandmother’s house still dangle in the bedroom.

Photographs taken during his visit to Alego and those taken during his wedding in America have filled three albums.

In one of the photos, a slender, young Obama is seen boarding a matatu (commuter taxi) to Kisumu, from where he and his fiancee would fly to Nairobi and then back to the US.

We were informed that Obama’s foster grandmother, Mama Sarah Ogwel, who brought up his father, had actually travelled to the US to visit several times.

Mama Sarah told us: “He is very enthusiastic about his relatives here. He keeps on sending people to find out how we are faring.”

And whether or not he wins the Senate seat, the 43-year-old Harvard University trained lawyer is expected back in Alego to build his “Simba” (a young man’s hut) in line with Luo traditions.

Barack has deep roots here. He once told me he has two homes – Kenya and the United States, she says happily.

Ever since the news of Obama’s Kenya connection was known, Mama Sarah has been receiving a stream of visitors. They now average about five a day.

Most of these visitors are journalists, both foreign and local (like ourselves), who have turned the home upside down while tracing Obama’s roots.

To cater for these many uninvited guests, the family is putting up a guest house just next to a house built for his father’s first wife, Keziah Obama.

Keziah, who hails from Kendu Bay in Rachuonyo district, lives in Britain with three of her four children.

One of her sons, Malik Obama, is a frequent visitor to the USA but is currently in Kenya though he had travelled to Nairobi when we visited.

While she welcomes visitors, Mama Sarah is getting a little fed up with the disruption they have caused in her life.

The day before the Sunday Nation team arrived, she had played host to a crew from CNN.

Lamented Mama Sarah as we prepared to interview her: “I can’t live here in peace. I have been talking to visitors for several hours a day. I have been interviewed a thousand times and I am tired.”

Tracing Obama’s home was a simple task. The home, located some 60 km from Kisumu town, is well known in Alego. Almost every villager you meet is ready to offer a tip on how to access the home.

To reach the home, one turns off the Kisumu-Siaya road near Ng’iya shopping centre and drives towards Obama’s village market, Nyang’oma-Kogello. From there the home is just a stone’s throw-away.

By local standards it is a vast well kept compound with Sarah’s battered brick house sitting imposingly at the far end.

Two cemented graves, one for Barack Obama Snr and the other for his father Mzee Hussein Onyango Obama, who was born in 1870 but died in 1975.

The Obama family are among the few Muslims in the locality.

The prospective Senator’s grandfather was called Hussein Onyango Obama. He worked as a cook and spent most of his working life in Nairobi.

According to Mama Sarah, Obama Jr used his two trips to Kenya to try to unravel his roots. He spoke to many villagers and relatives through an interpreter.

The candidate’s best-selling autobiography, Dreams from my Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, was compiled with information gathered from relatives and villagers in Alego.

The story revolves around Obama’s quest to find out more about his father, described by many as a brilliant economist who returned from the United States to take up a civil service job in Kenya. He was was later killed in a road accident in 1982, just when he was poised to take up a top job at the Central Bank.

According to the family, Obama’s father travelled to America to study at the University of Hawaii in 1959. While there, he worked for an oil company and married his second wife, a white woman, named Anna Toot, and their union produced Barack Obama Jr.

The marriage later broke up after Anna’s father opposed it, according to Mama Sarah.

“Anna’s father was furious about the marriage and threatened to have Obama Snr expelled from the university. Our son sent us letters, pleading that we intervene to save the marriage,” remembers Sarah.

Aunt Zeituni attended Inauguration and Balls, with the blessings of ICE

     They say that it is great to know people in high places!

    After an immigration judge denied her request for asylum in 2004, Zeituni Onyango disappeared from the radar of the Immigration people. She hid so well that she attended her nephew’s swearing in ceremony in the United States Senate in 2005. Barack Obama’s Aunt Zeituni, in our country illegally, was reported as living in a housing project in South Boston just before the November election.

    Obama said that he was unaware that Aunt Zeituni had been denied asylum. However, it appears that just days before the election, presumably to appear as not trying to interfere with the outcome of an election with any negative publicity, ICE was issued a directive regarding Aunt Zeituni. although they state it was intended for “high profile” cases:

The directive from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, which was obtained last week by the AP in a Freedom of Information Act request, was e-mailed to ICE agents on Oct. 31 and expressed concerns about “negative media or congressional interest” and ordered ICE agents to seek approval before making arrests.

     It seems that Aunt Zeituni’s status is now on hold, as she was able to attend Obama’s Inauguration and an Inaugural Ball, along with Grandma Sara from Kenya and his stepmother Kezia, who now resides in Great Britain. My question is not that she has been granted a change of status in some manner now, but how was she able to fly under the radar for several years given that she had such a high-profile nephew, or is that the answer!

 

UPDATE: INS reported today that Aunt Zeituni will face an immigration hearing in April, and she has vowed to fight deportation.

Kenyans urged to “Ride the Gravy Train” as they celebrate their unique “close” relationship with America

The following appeared in The Standard, one of Kenay’s newspapers, on November 9, 2008.:

How to ride the Obama train

 

Published on 09/11/2008

Certain things are bound to happen soon in our country following the euphoric triumph of Barack Obama in the US presidential election.

One, there will be plenty of merrymaking. Already, the Government swung a surprise by officially setting aside Thursday for the nursing of hangovers from Obama victory-related indulgences and out of an appreciation that the day would have seen little productivity anyway.

Laziness

While the real voters in America went back to work as usual, a country miles away that had no active role in the exercise collectively behaved like Unoka, the Things Fall Apart indolent bum.

He reportedly made merry “whenever a little money came his way.” Yet like him, we still wonder why we are so poor and others so rich!

Over the weekend entertainment joints outdid each other holding bashes in the name of the President-elect with Kenyan roots. Now our MPs are planning vicarious homecoming parties for Obama. This curiously worded indulgence happens to be uniquely Kenyan.

You can bet there isn’t going to be one or two of these. Rather, with the craving to be associated with the charismatic Democrat hitting fever pitch, rivals will try to outdo each other in their scale and extravagance. And this is besides the carnival that has been going on in Kogelo, the incoming President’s patriarchal village.

False prophets

Like false prophets, these parties may assume various disguises. Nyanza MPs have already announced “special prayers” to mark Obama’s historical win at Uhuru Park. Expect there to be Obama beauty pageantry, an Obama boda boda competition, the Obama Football Cup, an Obama arts festival, the Obama Bullfighting Trophy, Friends-for-Obama Marathon or the Obama Golf Challenge.

Opportunism

A safe bet is that politicians, and especially MPs, will be playing a prominent role. There is nothing wrong with a country toasting to the stellar success of the offspring of its son. But as the Ibo of Nigeria say, if a handshake goes beyond the elbow, it is no longer a handshake. We must temper the celebrations with some realism. And a bit of opportunism too.

Rather than have endless parties, wouldn’t we be better off thinking of creative ways to exploit attendant business avenues?

A natural corollary of Tuesday’s Obama win will be at least a modicum of our country’s enhanced ties with America. We should hope to see more tourists especially from the US coming to see their president’s father’s birthplace.

But to gain fully from this luck, we need to do more than merely demonstrate our relationship with Obama in wild partying. That is the message our politicians should be preaching. The road to Kisumu, for instance, is largely a cattle track after Kericho. Roads in the so-called Luo Nyanza that is likely to assume prominence in tourist interest are generally in bad shape.

Poverty

Poverty is endemic. Although successive years of Government neglect are largely to blame for this, there is also an abject absence of credible leadership in the region. Obsession with politics by area MPs, manifested in infatuation with press conferences and theatrics in Parliament, have played their part too.

To ride the Obama gravy train, we must harness our potential. Slaughtering bulls for our youths to feast in his honour is great. We need to hear and see MPs aiding the youth in initiating enterprises that capture tourist fancies sufficiently for them to part with those dollars. Leaders need to preach a mercantile approach to arising opportunities. Rather than exhaust meagre resources feasting to our son’s victory, emphasis should be on milking the situation for all its worth.

Grandma Obama discusses pride in Kenyan’s “Native Son”:Obama Kenyan Relatives start to come out of the Woodwork

 

Obama’s Hyde Park Chicago home    

 Several months ago, Sen. Barack Obama’s Kenyan half-brother, George Hussein Obama, was found living in a shack in Kenya, spending the equivalent of $1.00 per month. For the record, Sean Hannity has offered to send George Obama $1000.00, and $10,000 if Barack Obama stops hiding from him and come on his show.

George H. Obama at his home

     Then there is the fairly new story that his aunt, Zeituni Onyango (known as Auntie Zeituni to Obama), is an illegal alien living in public housing in Boston. She has donated $260.00 to her nephew’s Presidential campaign. After news circulated that the affluent Obama, campaigning on the “redistribution of wealth” platform, had a relative living in Boston, it was revealed that Auntie Zeituni had actually been instructed to leave the country FOUR years ago after her request for asylum had been denied. It is being reported now, in light of finding her still here through the media, Obama’s aunt was in the system for deportation proceedings, but President Bush has issued an order to temporarily put the deportation on hold.

Grandma Sara Obama

     And then there is explosive words coming from Kenya, directly from the mouth, just words, from Obama’s Kenyan grandmother, Sara Obama. The nation of Kenya, as a whole, pentacostals and pagans, have begun national prayer for their native son’s election. In an interview taped on October 16th, Sara Obama tells of Obama’s birth, how great it was to be present when Stanley Ann Dunham delivered Obama. She discusses her pride in her grandson, and the pride in Kenyan’s native son.
