Baracktoid 009

"In a speech delivered from the pulpit of the historic Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church in Selma, Alabama, on March 4, 2007, Obama argued that he owed his very existence to Selma. In that speech, he invented some dialogue in which he mused, "It worried the folks in the White House who said, ‘You know, we’re battling communism. How are we going to win the hearts and minds all across the world if right here in our own country, John, we’re not observing the ideals set forth in our Constitution? We might be accused of being hypocrites.’ " [as if it was Robert Kennedy saying this to John Kennedy]

Unfortunately for Barack Obama, JFK was not in the White House until January 20, 1961, and he did not participate in the decision that Tom Mboya made in Kenya to organize the 1959 airlift. Tom Mboya was a Kenya leader who had befriended Obama Senior, both being from the same tribe.

Obama continued to this Selma congregation, " ‘We’re going to go to and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study, so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.’ "

"This young man named Barack Obama [Obama Senior] got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great-great-great-great grandfather had owned slaves. But she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that in the world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together to have a child."

Again, research by Michael Dobbs found conclusively that the 1959 airlift, which brought eighty-one Kenyan students to the United States, including Obama’s father, happened before JFK was inaugurated president and did not benefit from any Kennedy family funding. The funding for the 1959 airlift came from a general appeal to the U.S. public that had been organized by the political leader Tom Mboya."
