Things that Make You Go Hmmm … Barack Obama’s Bio Edited Numerous Times over 17 Years, but Kenyan Birthplace Changed Weeks after his Presidential Announcement

From Doug Ross comes more on Barack Obama and things that make you go hmm … Why am I not surprised that it took the Bloggers to uncover the lie?

Why would the bio of Barack Obama provided to his literary agent be changed numerous times over the years to update events and accomplishments of Obama, yet his birth place of Kenya was not changed until just after he announced his run for the Presidency in 2007? Seriously, one does not have to be a “birther” to ask such a question. This story of why Obama’s bio would read “born in Kenya” was initially brought to the public’s attention at Breitbart.com in their own going effort to do what the MSM refuses to do … Vetting the President. As stated at the PJ Tatler, when the bizarre and embarassing fact was uncovered earlier this week, agent Miriam Goderich backpedaled and stated that the Kenyan birth claim was simply a “fact-checking error.” OK, so then why did it go through a myriad of edits and updates with no change until right before Obama’s Presidential announcement?

The biography provided by Barack Obama to his literary agent specified his birthplace as “Kenya”. And, over the course of 17 years, despite multiple revisions by Obama, the Kenyan birthplace remained a fundamental part of the bio on the agent’s website.

I’ve used the Wayback Archive to explore the exact transformations of Obama’s biography on his agent’s site (click on any of the thumbnails to zoom to a readable size).

On June 27, 1998, the website read: “BARACK OBAMA was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book is DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE.”

The Bio was updated circa December 2004; however, it still stated the following; “He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago”.

Obama 2012 Theme Song … ‘Would I Lie to You’

Then as Doug Ross notes a remarkable edit was made to the Obama bio between April 3rd and April 21st 2007, where someone must have noticed the discrepancy in birthplace that would presumably disqualify the Senator from office.

On April 21, 2007, the website read: “BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Hawaii to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.”

This is really an interesting read, go to Doug Powers and read the full post and the connect the dots investigation.

The question at hand is why lie? The Other McCain has an interesting theory that being born in Hawaii was not edgy enough to give him racial street cred. Let me just say that I am not a “birther” and actually do believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, but I also am a little taken aback by his continual lack of transparency and the fact that it appears his past is a made up fiction. We does the most transparent President ever not hand over his college transcripts and application. I am betting that it say origin of birth, Kenya.

This is all very important and not because Obama was born in Kenya but more to the point that Obama will lie and say anything for his advantage. This is hardly “Hope & Change” … it is the mark of an opportunist.

More to the point, who in the hell vets Presidential candidates? What is the process, do we just ask them whether they were born in the USA and if they say yes, that is goo enough? How could those vetting not have found something so simple? Of course we will learn long after Obama is out of office that those in the MSM knew about this all along and hushed it up.

Barack Obama, Not Just a U.S Disappointment … But Also a Global Disappointment as Well

So much for Barack Obama, International Rock Star …

The International community is finally coming to understand what those in the United States have known for 3 years … Barack Obama is a disappointment. However, the International community takes a back seat to just how disappointed America is the Obama Presidency. Many in Europe are disappointed in Obama because he did not pass further Leftist, socialist policies. We in America can only thank God, he was prevented from doing so.

In Europe, where more than 200,000 people thronged a Berlin rally in 2008 to hear Barack Obama speak, there’s disappointment that he hasn’t kept his promise to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, and perceptions that he’s shunting blame for the financial crisis across the Atlantic.

In Mogadishu, a former teacher wishes he had sent more economic assistance and fewer armed drones to fix Somalia’s problems. And many in the Middle East wonder what became of Obama’s vow, in a landmark 2009 speech at the University of Cairo, to forge a closer relationship with the Muslim world.

In a world weary of war and economic crises, and concerned about global climate change, the consensus is that Obama has not lived up to the lofty expectations that surrounded his 2008 election and Nobel Peace Prize a year later. Many in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America were also taken aback by his support for gay marriage, a taboo subject among religious conservatives.

Sarkozy Out in France … Loses to Socialist Francois Hollande … Obama Quick to Invite Socialist to White House

Nicolas Sarkozy is out as French President. Over the weekend he lost to the socialist candidate Francois Hollande. France thought they were in a predicament now? France will learn just like everyone else has who embrace socialism, eventually you run out of other people’s money.

Socialist Francois Hollande swept to victory in France’s presidential election on Sunday in a swing to the left at the heart of Europe and promised to start a pushback against German-led austerity policies.

Hollande led conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy by 51.3 percent to 48.7 percent with 83 percent of votes counted, the Interior Ministry said, bringing the centre-left back to government in Paris after a decade in opposition.

It took less that 24 hours for Barack Obama to invite socialist French president-elect Francois Hollande to the White House. That was quick. What are the two going to do, compare notes? You know what they say … water seeks it’s own level.

President Barack Obama congratulated French president-elect Francois Hollande for his victory Sunday, but warned of “challenges” ahead, a clear reference to Afghanistan and eurozone debt crisis.

The US president was among the first world leaders to welcome Hollande’s election as France’s first Socialist president in nearly two decades, a result sure to have major implications for Europe as it struggles to emerge from a financial crisis.

Obama invited Hollande for bilateral talks at the White House later this month ahead of a G8 leaders meeting he will host at his Camp David retreat in Maryland between May 18-19, and a NATO transatlantic alliance summit in Chicago on May 20-21.

The result of the socialist win in France … the Euro weakens and the wealthy French look to move across the English Channel to escape the most certain war on the successful.

The “soak the rich” rhetoric that has punctuated the presidential campaign has prompted a sharp rise in the numbers weighing a move across the Channel, according to London-based wealth managers, lawyers and property agents specializing in French clients.

François Hollande, the Socialist candidate who leads the presidential race after the first round of voting last week, wants to impose a tax rate of 75 per cent on income above €1m and at the launch of his bid in January said: “My true adversary in this battle has no name, no face, no party … It is the world of finance.”

Sound familiar? No wonder Obama invited him to the White House in record speed.

Kidnapped British Doctor Khalil Rasjed Dale Found Beheaded in Pakistan by Taliban

The beheaded body of British aid worker Khalil Rasjed Dale was found dumped along a road side in the southern Baluchistan province of Pakistan. A note was discovered with the corpse stating that the Red Cross (ICRC) aid worker had been killed because a ransom had not been paid, courtesy of the Taliban.

The beheaded corpse of a British aid worker has been discovered in the Pakistani city of Quetta almost four months after he was kidnapped.

The body of Khalil Rasjed Dale was discovered on a road outside the city in southern Baluchistan province with a note saying he had been killed because a ransom had not been paid.

Dale, who had been working for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), was kidnapped in January while driving near the organisation’s Quetta office.

What the Jawa Report said, SAVAGES!!!

Because obviously the war on terrorism is over as per the Obama Administration.

Suspect in Natalee Holloway disappearance Joran Van der Sloot Being Evaluated for Extradition to US from Peru for Extortion Charges

HEY JORAN, YOU’RE NOT IN ARUBA ANYMORE …

Just when Joran Van der Sloot thought it was safe to go back in the Aruba water … well, he won’t be doing that for some time as he faces a 28 year sentence in a Peruvian prison for the murder of Stephany Flores, Van der Sloot faces new issues.

According to Maximo Altez, Joran van der Sloot’s Peruvian attorney, Van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the death and disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruna in 2005 now faces possible extradition to the United States. Joran Van der Sloot was charged  with extortion in Alabama for allegedly receiving $25,000 from Beth Holloway in order to tell her where to find the remains of Natalee Holloway. Needless to say, after Van der Sloot had received the monies, he lied to Beth Holloway as to the location where her daughter could be found.

A lawyer for Joran van der Sloot says Peru is evaluating a request by the United States to extradite the jailed Dutchman, who is the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba.

The 24-year-old also faces extortion charges in Alabama for allegedly receiving $25,000 from Holloway’s mother to tell her where to find the remains of her daughter, who was 18 when she disappeared while on vacation.

CNN is reporting, the extradition process could be completed in the next three months.

At the Summit of the Americas, Barack Obama Describes His Responsibilities … “Part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation”

More from the Vacationer in Chief …

Finally Barack Obama describes what he thinks his real job responsibilities are as President. No wonder President Obama has not focused on jobs, unemployment, a coherent energy policy or reducing the debt, he is too busy with his real job responsibility of scoping out new vacation spots. UNREAL.

Just two days after President Barack Obama gave a sharply edged response to news anchor Larry Conners of KMOV in St. Louis after Conners had asked the president about Americans who “get frustrated and even angered when they see the first family jetting around [to] different vacations and so forth,” Obama told a panel at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia that part of his job there was to scout out locations for a future vacation with First Lady Michelle Obama.

“I want to thank President Santos and the people of Colombia for the extraordinary hospitality in the beautiful city of Cartagena,” said Obama. “We’re having a wonderful time. And usually when I take these summit trips, part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation.  So we’ll make sure to come back sometime in the near future.”

Weasel Zippers has a suggestion for Obama and his responsibilities to find future vacation places, “please take her to North Korea where the two of you may enjoy their single-payer system for the rest of your miserable lives.”

Obama and his minions talk about Mitt Romney being out of touch with the American people. There is a perception with many that during these harsh economic times where families cannot afford one vacation a year, Barack Obama and the first family take far too many vacations on the tax payers dime. Now Obama would make such a comment? Sorry Mr. President but to borrow your own words, where’s the fairness? This feeling is echoed at the Gateway Pundit where they refer to the recent embarrassing interview with Larry Conners, where he [Obama] was called out for angering Americans with all of the lavish vacations the Obamas have taken. This President has no shame and appears to care less that Americans can’t afford the cost of gas and many barely get by from pay check to pay check.

We have just come up with Obama 2012 election slogan … Let them Eat Cake 2012.

Secret Service Agents Recalled From Colombia & Relieved of Duty Amid Allegations of Misconduct Involving Prostitution

Add 12 more individuals to the ranks of the unemployed under Barack Obama … Kind of makes the saying taking a bullet for the President into a new light.

The advance party of twelve Secret Service agents providing foreign security detail for President Obama’s attendance at an international leaders’ ‘Summit of the Americas’ in Cartagena, Colombia have been recalled home and relieved of duty amid allegations of misconduct in connection with prostitutes. According to accounts the agents were alleged to have been boozing and using the services of of the local talent employed in  the world’s oldest profession.

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating allegations of misconduct by agents who had been sent to Cartagena, Colombia, to provide security for President Obama’s trip to a summit that began there Friday.

Edwin Donovan, an agency spokesman, said that an unspecified number of agents have been recalled and replaced with others, stressing that Obama’s security has not been compromised because of the change. Obama arrived in Cartagena on Friday afternoon for this weekend’s Summit of the Americas, a gathering of 33 of the hemisphere’s 35 leaders to discuss economic policy and trade.

Donovan declined to disclose details about the nature of the alleged misconduct. But Jon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, said the accusations relate to at least one agent having involvement with prostitutes in Cartagena.

VIDEO : CNN

As reported at The Hill, the matter had been “turned over to our Office of Professional Responsibility and any inquiries at to be directed to the Secret Service. According to the NY Post, the entire matter was exposed when one of the agents refused to pay a hooker and she ratted him out trying to collect for services rendered. I guess they forgot the age old add age, if you are going to play, you have to pay.

“There have been allegations of misconduct made against the Secret Service in Cartagena, Colombia, prior to the president’s trip,” Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said in a statement, according to reports.

“Because of this, those personnel are being relieved of their assignments, returned to their place of duty, and are being replaced by other Secret Service personnel. The Secret Service takes all allegations of misconduct seriously.”

Just like with the GSA excessive spending scandal, look for the Obama administration to blame this one on Bush as well. Seriously, who ever the President is and if you agree or disagree with their policies, the fact that Secret Service agents would act to recklessly and put themselves into such a position, several positions one might surmise, is simply unacceptable. How could agents do some thing so ignorant that would subject them to blackmail? Who is in charge of a Secret Service these days, former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer?

UPDATE I: 5 Members of the U.S. Military May Also Be Involved in Secret Service Prostitution Scandal.

UPDATE II: The Secret Service in the Obama Admin redefining the term “advance work”. It is unbelievable that such a scandal would break because a foolish Secret Service agent would get into an argument over the cost of services rendered with a hooker when the agent should never have been the cavorting with such types in the first place. How could anyone be so ignorant yet be in such a position?

The argument was a dispute over the bill for services rendered, the administration official said.

Hotel Caribe authorities went to investigate the ruckus and learned that there had been some activity between Secret Service agents and prostitutes, the senior administration official said.

Hotel authorities then went down to the reception desk to see who else of the American guests may have signed in female guests — call girls — for the evening.

Russian News Outlet PRAVDA Endorses Barack Onama … Writes “Electing Mitt Romney as the next President Would be like Appointing a Serial Paedophile as a Kindergarten Teacher”

What a shock, Russian news outlet Pravda enforces Yuri, I mean Barack Obama. Doesn’t that pretty much say it all?

PRAVDA not only had glowing things to say about Yuri Obama, but they went on to write that GOP Presidential primary hopeful Mitt Romney was unelectable and “Electing Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States of America would be like appointing a serial pedophile as a kindergarten teacher”.

Pravda is hitting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney over comments he made about Russia. “Russia is the geopolitical foe,” Romney said earlier this week in response to President Obama telling his Russian counterpart to give him “space” so that he could have “more flexibility” after the 2012 presidential election.

So, in an op-ed today posted on Pravda’s website, the infamous former Soviet newspaper writes, “Electing Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States of America would be like appointing a serial paedophile as a kindergarten teacher, a rapist as a janitor at a girls’ dormitory or a psychopath with a fixation on knives as a kitchen hand. His comments on Russia are a puerile attempt at making the grand stage and boy, did he blow it…”

Of course the Russians are just peeved at Mitt Romney’s response to removing the missile defense system from Poland and Romney’s questioning Russia’s lack of help on the world stage to America. Sorry, if the shoe fits.

The actions he’s taken so far which he says are to reset relations with Russia have not worked out at all. Russia continues to support Syria, supports Iran, has fought us with the crippling sanctions we wanted to have the world put in place against Iran. Russia is not a friendly character on the world stage, and for this president to be looking for greater flexibility, where he doesn’t have to answer to the American people in his relations with Russia is very, very troubling, very alarming…

Does it really come as a surprise that the former Soviet propaganda media outlet endorsed Obama after the comments that “The One” made to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev.  Yuri Obama told Medvedev that with regards to the missile defense, “this is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” Medvedev replied that he would transmit the information to Vladamir Putin.

UNREAL!!! Barack Obama Asks for Space on Missile Defense and then Tells Russian President Medvedev … “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”

The following should scared the living day lights out of every American and those in Europe who will be protected by missile defense.

America, you just got a glimpse in to what an Obama lame duck second term will look like. Yesterday during the end of his meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, Barack Obama said that he would have “more flexibility” to deal with Russia on issues like missile defense. Oh really Mr. President. Is there some thing that you might want to tell the American people before you provide insider information to the Russians?

At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have “more flexibility” to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him “space.”

President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.

President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…

President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.

President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

Every American should be asking themselves … what is it that Obama plans to do with missile defense and the Russians after an election that he is afraid to talk about prior? Could it possibly be that Obama knows what he has in mind would lose him the election? The MSM should be all over this and not take Obama’s smug, laugh off as an explanation. But instead the lame stream media just follows in lock step and protect their President. What are the odds that America would be against Obama’s after the election “flexibility” plans?

Hugh Hewitt has Mitt Romney’s take on Obama’s comments.

So what does Obama have up his sleeve that the American people are unaware of? Also, does any one continue to find it incredibly arrogant that Obama continues to just assume that he will win reelection?

Joran Van der Sloot’s Lawyer Whines that His Client Removed from Castro Castro Prison and Put in More Strick Piedras Gordas

Attorney Jiménez cry me a river, “how about some cheese with that “whine” …

According to Radio Netherlands Worldwide, Joran Van der Sloot has been removed from solitary confinement at Piedras Gordas prison and now back in a cell shared with another con.  However, Van der Sloot’s attorney is whining over the fact that the “Sperter” has been transferred from Castro Castro prison in the Peruvian capital of Lima to Piedras Gordas in the desert outside the city. Piedras Gordas  is considered a more harsh and strict prison. Jimenez is appealing the transfer and says that it was uncalled for, because Van der Sloot had not misbehaved and the image that his cell was luxurious was incorrect. Attorney Jiménez, ask us if we care?

The VIDEO of Joran Van der Sloot’s sentencing that we never get tired of

“He is no longer in a mediation cell as they call it, but he now has more room and shares his cell with another detainee.”

He says Van der Sloot is still annoyed that he has been transferred from the Castro Castro prison in the Peruvian capital Lima to Piedras Gordas in the desert outside the city. The prison is notorious for its strict regime. Mr Jiménez says the authorities have not responded to a request to be transferred back.

One might want to ask Attorney Jiménez a question … do either Stephany Flores or Natalee Holloway have the choice of where they want to live? I didn’t think so.

Meanwhile, Beth Holloway continues to inform other and honor the memory of Natalee Holloway so that others may learn from what tragically happened to her daughter.

Nearly seven years later, Beth Holloway continues to honor Natalee’s memory by speaking out about travel safety, while promoting organizations to aid families whose loved ones are missing and educating those who travel abroad. On Thursday night at the Bristol Public Library, she held a group of more than 100 spellbound while describing her journey through tragedy.

She recounted the nightmarish search for her missing daughter, the indifference and lack of cooperation from foreign law enforcement and the encounters with prime suspect Joran van der Sloot.
