Barack Obama Lies

This Obama myth debunking from a website that has quite a list of similar myth debunking.  I've heard this one a couple of times, in various forms.  It's kind of funny when you think about it.  Supposedly inspired and supported by the Royal Kennedy clan, the Obama mythology is rolled up into the (corrupt and elitist) Kennedy mythology.  One mythological dynasty reaching out to a new mythology figure.

Obama went
on to tell his audience that the Kennedys -- Jack and Bobby -- decided
to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that
they could be educated and learn all about America.

His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barack Obama, Sr., to
America.The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in
August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in
November 1960. So, if his African grandfather heard words that "sent a
shout across oceans," inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to
America, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother
Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Actually, Senior was awarded an American sponsored scholarship in
economics to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He was selected by a
former Kenyan cabinet minister, the late Tom Mboya, who was earmarked
as the successor to Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first prime minister.

The presumption was that Senior would return to Africa and use his "Western-honed skills in a new Kenya."

Too bad it didn't happen that way.  And why would an African goat-herder find the US appealing?  Wasn't Eisenhower-era US miserable for minorities and the poor?  This was before civil rights, womans-lib, welfare for all...how would a goat-herder from Africa fare in that evil white man's world?

More of Obama's "white lies" at Barack Obama Lies.

hmmm...can I say "white lies" and not be considered racist?

There's a lot of chaff at that "Lies" website, but there is some pretty interesting stuff about BO's very expensive house at a cut rate price and bottom basement mortgage, his serendipitous neighbor, and the  "hiding" of his grandparents....the white ones...who actually raised him, paid for his expensive school and but that story seems hidden from public view b/c their race might not appeal to BO's progressive audience.  Can't bootstrap yourself from single-mom poverty to Havard Law School if you've got well to do white grandparents to pay for everything.

I also like the one about BO's mom being on food stamps/welfare while she's getting her PhD.  Check out the math on that story!
