Here’s part of Barack Obama’s speech from August 18, 2009:
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7QxgN5YegE[/youtube]
Let’s begin with this. Obama claimed that the Kennedy’s were responsible for bringing Barack Obama Sr. to the US:
What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation. It worried folks in the White House who said, “You know, we’re battling Communism. How are we going to win hearts and minds all across the world? If right here in our own country, John, we’re not observing the ideals set forth in our Constitution, we might be accused of being hypocrites.” So the Kennedy’s decided we’re going to do an air lift. We’re going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.
This would indeed be an anachronism, since JFK did not assume that office until 1961 and therefore could not have been, as President, instrumental in funding a program that brought students such as Barack Obama’s father from Kenya to the University of Hawaii in 1959.
So as I watch the video of the President walking across the Edmund Pettus bridge I recall that it was 50 years ago yesterday that the march across that bridge on that day was the inspiration for the conception of Barack Obama Jr.:
“What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation…This young man named Barack Obama…came over to this country. He met this woman…(who) had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided…it might…be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama… So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama. I’m here because somebody marched.”
There is, of course, a fly in the ointment.
The march took place on March 7, 1965. Barack Obama Jr. was born on August 4, 1961.
Obama lied about this event, cheapening it for his own political benefit. He was, is, and always will be a stinking liar. Nothing he ever says can be accepted at face value.
Nothing.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
These are efforts in the tradition of Kim Il-sung or Mao. This man is obsessed with making himself a legend at the expense of all truth and honor. The sad thing is the number of folks who actually believe this guff. Before we know it he will have been born in a manger and his faithful servants will be carrying little red books.
As someone who met some of those African men on campuses, I can testify to the fact that 1. they lied about having multiple wives back home, and 2. they wanted to get into white girl’s pants in the WORST way.
They were constantly hitting on white girls and, even on a huge campus, we all had their number.
IF all you wanted was ”free love,” and maybe a baby, this was for you.
Otherwise you left them all alone.
Few of them were honest about their true circumstances.
Obama’s mama was taken in by a slick talker who only married her knowing it was an illegal marriage in the USA as he already had other wives.
He was never a father to Obama.
Just like the ones I saw on campus in So Cal.
@Nanny
When I was a teaching assistant in the early 1980s, the ones trying to get into a white girl’s pants, in the worst way, were Iranian. One of the “Death to America” types was hitting on a rather attractive student of mine. She told him to go away. “I’m not interested in any of you camel jockeys.” That stopped him in his tracks. Plus, her big football player younger brother.
Just another display of the bastardization of American history. Why was the march across the Pettus Bridge so historic? Why not have a march in Boston to celebrate the life of Crispus Atticks?
Black children are taught in school that their American history began in the 1960’s. It didn’t. Thousands of blacks fought on the side of the Colonists in the American Revolutionary War. Ask any black school child about that and watch the blank stare you get in return.
And while we’re at it, where is the march celebrating the Trail of Tears or the anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre? Where is the march celebrating the history of Native Americans, or even the march celebrating the contribution Tejanos made to the independence of Texas and eventually bringing Texas into the United States? Where is the march honoring the Irish and Chinese that built the railroads that expanded the West?
Dr. King was a uniter. Obama is a divider. Race relations are as bad as they were in the first half of the 20th century. Obama claims that if he had a son that son would be like gansta, Trayvon Martin while he ignores the death of Jamiel
Shaw. He has his henchman, Eric Holder, go after white police officers while he ignores the young black men murdered by other young black men.
The disaster that this Administration has been will reverberate for years.
Of course Kennedy was not POTUS in 1959 he was a US Senstir. From Massachusetts
And helped push through bills allowing foreign students to study here
I am not totally sure but I sort of recall him being a co sponsor of at least one
Dr J couldn’t/shouldn’t you have known that ?????
@John:
There were scholarships given to young Kenyans starting in 1959. They were financed by people like Jackie Robinson, Harry Belafonte, et al. But the Kennedys did not get involved in that program until 1960, a year after Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. came to the U.S. to study.
John, couldn’t/shouldn’t you have known that ?????
@David: Yeah, that was later.
After the 1979 Iranian revolution all the Iranians here wanted to STAY here.
I must have met about six newly marrieds where hubby was Iranian and wife some dumb chick in a liberal arts program.
No way they wanted to go ”home” to Iran and be purged like their families.

Since, as we all know, that BHO Sr came to the US in 1959, obviously JFK had zip to do with it.
That’s about equivalent to the chance that BHO Sr was the father of BHO Jr.
obama wants to void the US Constitution, void the Bill of Rights, take over education, take over medical care, and now he wants to take over the calendar. He is acting more and more like a king, but he hasn’t been crowned yet. What will he be like if he ever does get the crown he wants?
This is a really touching and beautiful tribute to the anniversary Selma. And people think the Right doesn’t care. And the comments… such wonderful observations about the black experience in America. It begs the question, how can African Americans still vote so overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party when faced with such noble rhetoric on their behalf? What black person wouldn’t be filled with warmth reading Nan’s folksy take on the predatory interest African men take in white women? That was exactly where my mind went too when I watched the Selma ceremony.
I’m wondering why his mother didn’t go through with the abortion? It’s one of the few times I’d have agreed it was necessary.
The United States elected him twice by rather large margins
@Tom: so her life experiences should be sqaushed because they make you uncomfortable (this one)i mean tommy like your hamster memories
@John: #12
george soros and other liberals got him elected. Remember the voting machines that turned a vote for Romney into a vote for obama, and the voting districts that had 98%, 99%, 100%, and even 108% of the votes go to obama?
@ John “The United States elected him twice by rather large margins” Really? What you might get away with calling “large” does not necessarily meet the minimum requirement. Not only was the last election margin less than 3 million votes, but in EVERY Congressional election, his party has been drubbed due to his failed policies, a SOUND rejection of his agenda. He only still enjoys personal popularity with those who succumbed to his “charisma” and liberals too guilty about their own prejudices to vote against someone of a different color.
I don’t think Bush was necessarily “cropped out”; it could have been any Republican. However, the obvious primary focus was to be Barak Obama, front and center. For those with the wrist bands with “WWBOD?” on them, the only thing that matters is the Obama context. This could have been a story of “Democrats and Republicans Commemorate Selma March Together”, but that would have been counter-productive, liberal-wise. No, instead the story HAS to be “Look, he’s Obama walking across a bridge! Swoon!!”.
One day, liberals will wake up and realize that they have sacrificed every bit of dignity they ever had and be just as disgusted with themselves as we are with them now. A life-long “walk of shame”.
@Tom:
Tommy, would you care to guess which political party those guys standing there opposed to King and his group was a part of? Want to guess which political party was manning the fire hoses?
@John:
too bad the citizens votes were ignored.
All comments included prove what a divider this man is. No one in the history of the 20th century presidency has separated Americans from Americans like this man has. Instead of using his bi-racial heritage to bring unity and respect amongst all people he sows discord and repudiates his white heritage as if he was pure in his negro bloodline. What a shame and what a waste of a historic presidential opportunity.
@Bill:
For the 2nd time. The first being when he was still an egg and a sperm. I think that’s what he claims and only a little over 3 years after his fake birth certicate says he was born.
