No inspiration today so I went back into the Ron files and pulled this tidbit out.

Re: Barry Soetoro

First, whether any living person today knows the true and legal name of the individual purporting to be President of the US is doubtful, and that includes Barry Soetoro (AKA Barack Hussein Obama).

No reliable evidence exists to show that his mother was indeed married to Barack Hussein Obama. In fact, little evidence exists to show that they ever lived together as man and wife. Nothing I’ve seen so far convinces me that his was a legitimate birth to anything but a single mother (which he actually mentioned in one of his books), and I suspect an equally good case can be made for Frank Marshall Davis as his biological father as can be made for Barack Hussein Obama.

Next, some evidence does exist to show that Lolo Soetoro adopted him and made him a legal Indonesian citizen named Barry Soetoro. And so far I’ve seen nothing official indicating that Barry Soetoro legally changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama. Rare fotos allegedly showing him with Obama Sr. prove nothing; in fact, fotos also exist showing him with Davis.

Records DO prove that he finished high school in Hawaii as Barry Soetoro and later attended Occidental College in L.A. with that same name. His records at Occidental are incomplete, and indications are that he more or less quit to avoid actually being flunked out. He had a problem with lack of discipline, but that lack didn’t extend to drugs, which he has admitted using frequently during that period.

And there is some conjecture that he received aid as a “foreign student” while attending Occidental. Since all those records are sealed we may never know. Now if he were a Republican, those records would conveniently become unsealed, like the sealed divorce records of Obola’s opponent in his campaign for senator from Illinois. Funny how that works.

Soon thereafter, he went to Djakarta to visit his mother and sister. He also went to Karachi, Pakistan, during that time but I don’t know what name he traveled under or where he got the cash for the trip. If forced to guess, I’d say it was at least related to drug traffic, perhaps as a mule.

He then somehow wrangled admission to Columbia University, from which he took a B.A. in poli-sci with international focus. When he first arrived in NYC, he was essentially homeless and unemployed, and no documents exist to show how he paid for tuition at Columbia or for food and lodging while he was there; Columbia is one of the most expensive schools on the eastern seaboard.

Yet one more mystery. As I’m fond of saying, we knew more about Sarah Palin a week after McRINO chose her as his running mate than we’ll ever know about Jug Hussein Ears Downgrade.

No records exist to show precisely what he did in Chicago as a “community organizer” after acquiring his Columbia diploma or what salaries and benefits he received. Somehow, though, he managed to travel to Europe and later to Kenya, again with undetermined identity and funding.

Records are sketchy about his time in Harvard Law School (which also isn’t exactly inexpensive), so we know little about his grades, his associates, his writings, or his source of funding, surprising for someone who got the J.D. magna cum laude. The Saudi royal family DID, however, grant Harvard a $20 million award just before Obama became president of the law review (for which he never wrote a single article).

The only person in that position who never wrote an article.

By this time he is using the name Barack Hussein Obama and filing tax papers in Connecticut, probably to avoid the higher New York taxes. Some say the whole Connecticut connection was to firmly establish his new identity. No records have been made public to show that he ever maintained any form of residence in Connecticut. If in fact he was merely establishing a new identify for the purpose of evading taxes, he is guilty of a felony (fraud/evasion).

My suspicion is that his Columbia diploma and transcript were faked (I saw how easily done this is while teaching at the local university between 1989 and 2003). Diploma mills and bribed clerical staff were ubiquitous in the 80s. Even Harvard would turn their collective hoary heads and cough, then buy into a lie for someone with a transcript from Columbia and the backing of the Saudi royal family’s millions.

There are many people who attended Columbia at this time who don’t remember being in any classes with him. I don’t think anyone has ever stepped forward who said he remembered him.

Recently I read some discussion of his Selective Service registration abnormalities. It’s easy to get lost in all the names and dates and dodging and ducking and hiding going on in his murky history, but until he returned from his “visit” to Pakistan in 1981, he was still using the name Soetoro. But (and this is a big one) he apparently registered at a Hawaiian post office as Obama in September 1980, at which time he was actually smoking dope with his friends at Occidental College in L.A. Sounds awfully post-facto-ish to me.

Why he never found employment at any major law firms with a magna cum laude J.D. from Harvard is suspicious (probably because his records were not only incomplete but hard to swallow and he’d never have survived an intense background investigation). His wife got him a job at her law firm, but he never worked a case alone and never filed a motion as an attorney (that any records show). Eventually he allowed his law license to lapse, which very likely precluded his being disbarred. Coincidentally, Michelle also gave up her law license after some shady dealings she was involved with in Chicago city politics.

“shady dealings” in Chicago politics? I’m shocked!

His only life experiences of note would seem to qualify him merely as a politician, since he has no demonstrable skills other than reading from a teleprompter and speaking clearly with a neutral accent and no trace of ethnicity (what Harry Reid called “light-skinned with no trace of Negro accent” and what Joe Biden said was “mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy”).

He has no experience in management, business, economics, law enforcement, military, foreign affairs, diplomacy, or even legislation. He is simply a natural and accomplished liar, which is how he got his degree from Columbia, how he got into Harvard Law School, and how he obtained a position as lecturer at Chicago’s law school where he claims he was “professor of law,” which is at best a major exaggeration, if not hyperbole.

Why he politicked for US Senate from Illinois is a mystery. He had no boxtops, no bona fides, no creds, and the Republican candidate was a shoe-in. Most Democrats avoided the race for fear they’d lose, but Barry Soetoro entered as Barack Obama. The Republican front-runner, Ryan, dropped out because of a sex scandal

The aforementioned sealed divorce records becoming mysteriously unsealed.

and the GOP brought in an outsider from Maryland (Alan Keyes) to run against the “clean black man who talked like a white man.”

As the only black senator, and one who could speak White, Soetoro was given the nod as keynote speaker for the Democratic convention, after which he decided to keep telling bigger and bigger lies and run for the top spot himself. The DNC saw a chance to make history, so they went to great lengths to cover up the lack of experience and bona fides in their candidate who had never had a real job in his entire life other than making speeches and raising funds through ethnic loyalty and white guilt.

And they were aided and abetted by the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party. Real journalists would have investigated this fraud and his dubious accomplishments and after the facts of his life were revealed even McRINO could have defeated him. Of course, if he were revealed for the fraud he was, the other fraud running for the Dimocrat nomination, Thunder Rodent Thighs would have gotten the nomination and prolly crushed the hapless McRINO as well. As bad as TRT would have been, she would not have come close to the disaster that Obungler has turned out to be and she also wouldn’t have inflicted the damage that Oboner has on the Dimocrat Party.

The left-wing press stumbled all over each other genuflecting at the Obamaltar and were unable to call his eligibility and qualifications into question because they were salivating too heavily. The only significant voice trying to warn the country about the fraud taking place was Keyes, and nobody listened to him because he sounded like sour grapes for having lost the Senate race.

And he is a bit of a wacko as well.

As a US senator, he rarely committed himself on any controversial issue other than condemning conservatives as the enemies of poor and underprivileged citizens. He championed no legislation and voted “present” much more often than “aye” or “nay.”

As PotUS, his leadership has been catastrophic, his policies disastrous, and his decisions calamitous. His loyalties are consistently based not on the nation but on politics, and he prefers the advice and counsel of racebaiters such as Sharpton to rational thinkers such as Sowell or Carson.

We know he is pro-big government, pro-socialism, pro-black, and pro-left. We know he considers the US the source of all conflict in the world today. We know that he has no use for Israel. We know that he has no use for the military as a fighting force. We know that he will support Islam when the chips are down. We know that he has increased the debt more than all previous presidents combined. We know that he will say whatever he thinks his current audience wants to hear and then will shift his position to cater to his next audience as necessary. We know that his wife strongly dislikes white people. We know that he likes the perks and benefits of the position, but not the work and responsibilities of the job involved.

What we don’t know is who the hell he actually is and what right he has to be sitting in that chair in the Oval Office running down our reputation and running up our debt.

We also know that he is our first affirmative action president and we also have seen what happens when affirmative action meets the Peter Principle. I saw it at IBM. I never thought I would see it in the office of the most powerful leader in the free world.
