What say you?
This list was compiled by an individual exhibiting traits of xenophobia, fascism, tendency for conspiracy theories and hatred of islam and muslims. However, it may be important to set the record straight so here is a preliminary response. Notably, the author manages more lies and misstatements in these 70 items than Obama apparently has in several decades.
1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
Conclusion: misstatement. It is unclear if Obama meant that the same spirit that lead to Selma but it is certainly not *literally* correct.
2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
Conclusion: no lie. He started a goat-herder and through scholarship received a stipend to study in the U.S.
Importance in a President: unimportant.
3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.
Conclusion: no lie. Obama's book is exceptionally fortright in its portrayal of his alcoholic, polygamist father. The author forgot to read it.
Importance in a President: unimportant.
4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades.
Conclusion: no lie. The election was by no standard "legitimate" (including the Dept. of State standards.) Odinga leads the opposition to the current government.
Importance in a President: unimportant.
5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
Conclusion: no lie. As most people understand, a person has TWO grandmothers. The author confuses Obama's U.S. and African-born grandmothers.
Importance in a President: unimportant.
6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
Conclusion: no lie. Quotation is false. Obama said his name MEANS "blessed one" in Swahili. "Barack" is a Swahili word, and its roots are in Arabic.
Importance in a President: unimportant.
7.) I Never Practiced Islam - LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
Conclusion: no lie. The "facts" presented are false.
Importance in a President: unimportant.
8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
Conclusion: no lie. Quote is false, he said "non-denominatio
