The Birther?

The original birther?

The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008.

One of the first to put his name to the theory was Phil Berg, (Democrat) a former Pennsylvania deputy attorney general who had spent the previous years accusing President George W. Bush of complicity in the Sept. 11 attack.

Berg filed a complaint in federal District court on Aug. 21, 2008, that alleged, “Obama carries multiple citizenships and is ineligible to run for President of the United States. United States Constitution, Article II, Section 1.”

“All the efforts of supporters of legitimate citizens were for nothing because the Obama cheated his way into a fraudulent candidacy and cheated legitimately eligible natural born citizens from competing in a fair process and the supporters of their citizen choice for the nomination,” the suit claims.

Thank you for linking to the photos. My router went down for a few minutes just as I was searching for links to include.

Friendfield was owned by the Withers family, and it's primary crop was rice. At one time, two hundred slaves worked the land there, including Will Robinson, Michelle Obama's gg-grandfather. He was still a teenager when slavery was abolished, and there are no existing records of his parents other than the 1880 census, which lists them as having also been born in South Carolina. Will Robinson is believed to be buried in one of the many unmarked graves on the plantation.

You know better than that...

Did the program that funded the Solyndra loan start under George W. Bush? David Plouffe says so | PolitiFact

So yes it was progeny of the Bush Administration...though enhanced by Obama et al.

Did you not listen to her speech, or are you unable to comprehend her speech?

Michelle's speech was intended for inspiration and to acknowledge how far America has come in regards to black Americans. And her speech said or implied nothing about "forcing her into the W.H. or chaining her up in the dungeon" (rather those are your/republican delusions.)

Oh please, many of this generation don't know who their daddy is. Did slavery do that too? It's become so convenient to blame everything on slavery, hasn't it?

Do you even understand what is being discussed? It's amazing how uneducated and uncultured many people truly are. Not knowing one's father has nothing to do with not having names from your actual background. Those names and connections were lost long before, beaten out of African slaves and replaced with names of slavemasters, which is completely disgusting. Are you that unaware of the importance of names and ethnicities around the world?

There sure are many people that wish she wasn't waking up in a free house paid for by the taxpayers. She's such a victim of racism... oh my. If she were still in Africa, she might still be a slave.

The video has nothing to do racism but rather appreciation for the foundation laid by the Founding Fathers and embracing opportunities.

If she were in Africa, she might be one of the many self-made millionaires...

So?

Hey Michelle. Enough of the slavery talk... the white house was built by many ethnic groups from around the world.. why not say that instead of whining about slavery.. you obviously have lived an elitist life and never was poor or lived in a poor neighborhood... many white people struggle today being a slave for a dollar too..as many people from all races do.

We have poor in all ethnic groups so get over your slave mentality... you were never a slave and the people you talk to , were never a slave.
