Obama (Barry Soetoro) Was a Foreign Exchange Student
In this recent article (click title of this post), it is being confirmed that Barry had received financial aid as a foreign exchange student. This is pretty much what I have always suspected.
Here's the problem Mr. Obama has --He is either lying about being born here, or he lied on his school application. There is no other explanation where he can come out looking honest. He either lied about one or the other. Now, I'm not going to act like everyone is innocent and no one lies but, lying about things as important as your citizenship is a little more than lying to your boss about why you missed work.
To qualify, for the non-US citizen scholarship to study in the U.S., a student applicant must claim and provide proof of foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking. The United States Constitution requires that Presidents (and Vice Presidents) of the United States be natural born citizens of the United States.
So does this mean he forged his US birth certificate or the documentation claiming he is from a foreign country? Which is it?
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
Again, I say the Supreme Court NEEDS to interpret this language of the Constitution. Natural born citizen, in many of peoples' minds, including my own, means born to parents who are citizens.
Then, we have another problem:
U.S. soldiers including a general refuse to recognize Obama as their Commander in Chief since he is not a U.S. citizen. The soldiers have challenged Obama’s legitimacy by filing federal lawsuits against Obama.
On such soldier was U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook who was given orders to deploy to Afghanistan. Cook refused to deploy stating that he shouldn’t have to go because Obama is not a U.S. citizen and therefore not legally President and Commander in Chief. The military revoked the orders with no reason given. Speculation is that Obama would rather not see this thing go to court before a judge!
A biography of Obama’s Occidental College days states that when Obama was 18-19 he attended school as BARRY SOETORO. And it wasn’t until he met a girl by the name of Regina that Obama started using the name Barack. Regina was the first to start calling him Barack. There seems to be no record of Obama legally changing his first name from Barry to Barack.
So, what's going on here? No record of him legally changing his name? This sounds insane. Yet, there are people that are in the media still sticking up for this man. Could you imagine if he were a Republican? He wouldn't last a day. The Republican party would insist he step down.
If Obama didn’t legally have his name changed from Barry to Barack then the birth certificate he passed to Congress is a fake, a forgery. If his name was registered as Barry Soetoro even though Obama claims his real name is Barack Obama then Obama defrauded the state of California in order to receive college funding. Obama knowingly presented a false document to the state wherein he claimed to be a foreign student in order to illegally acquire financial aid.
Click title of post for full article.
UPDATE: I have written about this elsewhere on my blog but, I wanted to mention it here since I have noticed a few people coming to this page. It seems this may have been a hoax of some sort. Also, I did find some information where the Constitution has been interpreted by lower courts to define a natural born citizen as one that was born in the United States without concern of where the parents were born.
Still, the question of Obama's REAL school transcripts and why he has not released them lingers. Does it matter at this point? I'm not sure but it does seem to be an issue that keeps many people interested because no one can really fathom what it is Obama most assuredly seems to be hiding.

Bachmann Steals the Show
There was one candidate who rose above the usual positioning, though she stood a head shorter than the six men on the stage. Eleven minutes into the debate, Michele Bachmann stole the show, and she didn’t return it in the subsequent hour and 49 minutes.
“I just want to make an announcement,” she said when asked her first question. “I filed today my paperwork to seek the office of the presidency of the United States. . . . So I wanted you to be the first to know.”
It was a transparent gimmick – Bachmann had previously left no doubt that she would be running – but it was one of several attention-grabbing moments that allowed the back-bench congresswoman from Minnesota to stand out from the pack.Click title of post for full article.
