Obama releases long form BC

[Harbringe]

Any of our UK friends want to enlighten us on what name modern day Kenya was referred to under British control in 1961? I have heard it was know simply as British East Africa but not by any source I trust.

 

That would be correct Csgator ,its current name was derived from either the person who led the struggle for independence from colonial rule Jomo Kenyatta and was its first President or its etymology.Which is.

 

The word Kenya', /ˈkɛnjə/, originates from the Kikuyu, Embu and Kamba names for Mount Kenya, "Kirinyaga", "Kirinyaa" and "Kiinyaa". The English meaning of the words, in all three languages, is "place with ostriches" – in reference to the black and white plumage of male ostriches. When viewed from a distance the snow-capped peak of the mountain is like the white feathers of a male ostrich. Prehistoric volcanic eruptions of Mount Kenya (now extinct) may have resulted in its association with divinity and creation among the indigenous Kikuyu-related ethic groups who are the original native inhabitants of the vast agricultural land surrounding Mount Kenya.

 

Makes you wonder how his fathers place of origin is Kenya rather than British East Africa or simply East Africa.

 

Would most likely just be a motion being passed that all residents of the former British East Africa are now recognized as Kenyan's . I would imagine (though I don't know) that at the time of American Independence a similar motion would have been passed changing the people's nationality from the former 13 colonies of the British Empire to the US.

LOL had not even thought of that one....

This article pretty much sums it up for me, the problem is that Obama has gotten a pass from the press and anyone interested in honesty from our government have been told we are racist and should go away. Obama is the only President or even serious candidate I can think of that hasn't released his collage records. If Bush had pulled that we would still be hearing the shill cries of cover up or sum such garbage.

Now if he will just show a pixcture of him in a christian church then maybe all of america will be happy.

He used to go to church all the time. Lots of anti-semitic remarks from that pastor in the services, if I remember correctly, too.http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/whistling.gif

Exactly the cards-against-the-cards I was talking about in action.

Yeah having read the book, it really made me laugh too, notably the Oedipus factor.

Does anyone care about a report on the economy and a AAA rating?

 

Everyone knows the economy sucks, that would be news for 10 minutes.

 

 

*Facepalms*

 

Bejasus, you must be even more naive than I thought if you think being slammed by Standard and Poors and facing the loss of your AAA rating really doesn't matter. It basically means that the USA is in really, really deep doodoo and that none of the international financial community think Obama is doing anything about it. When your credit rating drops, so does your ability to borrow money. It happens to individuals (and boy, should I know all about that!), and it also happens to countries. Even the richest nations borrow money on the international market to finance their programmes. So if Obama carries on the way he does and the AAA rating is downgraded, the US economy will tank even more, he will not be able to afford any of his schemes anyway. Look at what is happening to Greece, Spain and Portugal, and Ireland. The only reason they are still afloat after downgrading is that the other members of the EU (mainly Germany and the UK) have been compelled to bail them out. The UK were threatened with the loss of their AAA rating, but the markets approve of the Conservative government taking the axe to public spending.

 

@csgators, Kenya has always been known as Kenya, speaking as a Brit who was born in 1961 myself.

And?

 

As I said, everyone knows the USA is in deep s***.

 

If it was such big news someone would be reporting it. There are a lot of non mainstream news shows online, someone would have mentioned it by now.

 

So Obama is going to mention his birth certificate to cover up credit and financial ratings? That sounds a bit crazy to me, the right wing would have been all over him for that.

[Harbringe]

Ok I know people hold that a Presidential candidate presenting their birth certificate is something that is commonly done ,yet despite this I can't find any evidence that any other candidate has done so , not to say it hasn't been done .

 

So I asked myself why , why can't I find it and I remembered Lisnpuppy mentioning filing with clerks so I went looking there and eventually found something called the F.E.C Federal Elections Commission (You were right LP filings can be made with clerks State and County if a designated F.E.C site) .Well to make a long story short it turns out that in the filing process there is no requirement for any candidate to present any birth certificate of any type ,there is not even any boxes to fill in where you can even state you were born in the US .So its not a matter of Obama thinking he was the exception to the rule ,its just him doing what everyone else was doing.This probably explains why it is that I haven't been able to find any evidence of candidates presenting their birth certificates ,they don't have to.It would also explain how a Frenchman was able to launch a Presidential campaign back in 1980 .

 

Why it is this way is beyond me .Anyhow if you want to go to the site and spend an hour or so reading through electoral forms and documents be my guest here is the F.E.C site with everything you need to read.Or you can watch the video they provided below.
