Historical News Articles and FactCheck Agree: Obama is Kenyan-born

[trendlover]

Quote from Scataphagos:

1. All had the chance to say, "born of Kenyan father" or "Kenyan ancestry", but none did. Is it colloquial style in Africa to say "African born" when meaning "of African descent, but not born in Africa"? Sounds like a stretch...

2. Do you think it possible those writers and papers might be given some money to say a particular thing? If he really was born in Kenya, then there IS a conspiracy to keep that fact covered up (part of the concern of all Birthers)... so a little more payola in this case would be no big deal to them.

In the same article is this quote.

"Prior to the announcement of the Ghana trip, it was widely speculated that Mr Obama’s first visit to Africa will be to Kenya, the land of his paternal ancestors."

AND this quote

"For Ghana, Obama's visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American President on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth."

So the same article say "paternal ancestors" AND continent of his birth.
So why they did not say (land of his birth)?

Quote from trendlover:

To prove what the African writers thinking is can be easy. The birthers or lawyers who look for evidence have to interview ALL the writers. Ask them to explain. IF they think Obama is born in Kenya, ask them what is their proof. IF the writers say they mean (his father) when they say "continent of his birth" that will explain. Easy to prove.

I think your're being racist by not given credence to Black media people in what they report while sucking down everything the American state run media wants you to believe.

Well that is consistent and true to form.... it's what birthers do.... ignore stuff which would mean they are wrong

The last time I saw anything that looked like this thread, it was a vidclip of a drowning man clutching at straws.

The article I question in this thread is American media. So not true what you say that I believe all American media.

You made it plain you don't trust African media. While you take your state run media at face value you require more investigation from African media.

Why not sit down the state run media and ask them some questions?

I don't know who said what and why.... only that there are grounds for dispute. And those grounds will remain until proof is provided which confirms one way or the other. Accepting somebody's word for it, or inferring some conclusion is not proof... no matter how much "confidence" one has or how much one wants to "believe".

No. I say (interpretation). How people interpret.
Scataphogus is saying he does not trust African media because he think it is possible they pay them money to say things.
I did not say that.

It's pathetic when you can't even find enough words to form your vocabulary. You are therefore forced to use those you hear on the radio.
