NO WONDER WHY MILLIONS WONDER ABOUT HIS RELIGION AND BIRTH

At a town hall meeting in Rochester New Hampshire Friday, a questioner asserted President Barack Hussein Obama is a closet Moslem. Donald Trump did not respond. Faux outrage ensued.

“Donald Trump not denouncing false statements about POTUS and hateful rhetoric about Moslems is just plain wrong,” tweeted Hillary Clinton.

“I would correct them and I would say ‘The President is a Christian and he was born in this country,” said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

“Mainstream” journalists wondered why so many “still” suspect Mr. Obama may be a Moslem. Given the president’s bizarre refusal to acknowledge Islamists are motivated by their interpretation of Islam, his unwillingness to take effective action against ISIS, and his dalliance with the mullahs in Tehran, Americans have more reasons than ever to suspect he’s a closet Moslem.

Ms. Clinton’s response was especially hypocritical, because it was her supporters — in an anonymous email circulated in April, 2008 — who first suggested Mr. Obama was a Moslem born in Kenya.

From 1991 until 2007, a biography written by Mr. Obama’s literary agent said he “was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

Evidently Mr. Obama didn’t notice the error until a couple of months before he announced his candidacy for president. Which seems odd, because it is customary for literary agents to run promotional materials by their authors for approval. (A Kenyan birth would not have precluded a run for mayor of Chicago, Mr. Obama’s first political ambition.}

In a September, 2008 interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News, Mr. Obama spoke of “my Moslem faith.” (He said it was a slip of the tongue.)

I don’t doubt that Barack Hussein Obama Jr. was born in Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961, and thus is eligible to be president.

But the long form birth certificate the administration posted on its PDF file on April 27, 2011 was a forgery, said many document experts.

The document experts confined their analyses to suspicious anomalies in the document, are satisfied the portion of it that says Mr. Obama was born in Kapiolani hospital is genuine (which has been confirmed by other sources).

Stanley Ann Dunham, Mr. Obama’s mother, met Barack Hussein Obama Sr. in Hawaii. The behavior of her parents suggests Stanley Ann may have been pregnant before the family moved there[1]. (The footnote suggests just where she became pregnant.)

Her mom, Madelyn, abruptly quit her job as vice president of a bank in Seattle to take one as a teller in a bank in Hawaii, with a big cut in pay. In 1961, Hawaii was the one state where a mixed race child would not have incited comment.

When Barack Sr. left Hawaii for Harvard in the fall of 1962, Stanley Ann’s dad gave him a warm sendoff. That’s not how I would have regarded a guy who was leaving my daughter. But I’d have been grateful to a guy who spared my daughter the stigma of an out of wedlock birth.

David Marannis and other biographers were unable to find evidence of Barack Sr. and Stanley Ann living together.

I doubt Mr. Obama is a closet Moslem, chiefly because he’s showered favors upon both Sunni and Shia Islamists, who hate each other as much as they hate us. I don’t think he’s a Christian either, because he seems to understand nothing about the tenets of the faith.

Many feel Mr. Obama does indeed have a religion: Himself. He worships himself so intensely he hasn’t left much room for any other deity.

Mr. Trump’s failure to engage with the questioner doesn’t signal agreement. Often the best way to deal with a crank comment is to ignore it.

Only Mr. Obama knows what’s in his heart. He says he’s a Christian, but he lies a lot (like whenever his lips move). Anyone who today takes anything he says at face value is a prime customer for beachfront property in Arizona (which I imagine Mr. Trump would be happy to sell them).

We should focus on the consequences of what the president says and does rather than speculate about why he says and does them.

Then again, no president in US history has come remotely close to so obsessively hide basic facts about his biography – facts there would have been a media feeding frenzy to find had it been regarding any other president.

As a result, the aura of impenetrable mystery surrounds him, mystery which he could easily dispel but refuses to do so. An example of many: providing his SAT scores or college transcripts. Or better: how about a DNA analysis of his compared to the Obama family in Kenya?

Thus he remains responsible for there being no wonder that millions wonder about who he really is – while the libtard media is responsible for the contempt those millions have for it not wanting to find out.
