"The country continues to draw inspiration from what you've done. I should note, just personally, I grew up in Hawaii, as many of you know, and I still recall sitting on my grandfather's shoulders when those capsules would land in the middle of the Pacific and they'd get brought back and we'd go out and we'd pretend like they could see us as we were waving at folks coming home. And I remember waving American flags and my grandfather telling me that the Apollo mission was an example of how Americans can do anything they put their minds to."
Cute right? Aw. Too bad it isn't true.
Obama lived in Indonesia as a child, from 1967 to 1971, with his mother and stepfather – and not with his grandfather and grandmother, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, in Hawaii.
Despite several statements made by the president about his childhood years in Jakarta, Obama's own White House biography begins with his alleged birth in Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961, and makes no mention of Indonesia.
It was not until Obama turned 10 that he moved to Honolulu to live with his grandparents.
The White House declined to respond to WND's request for clarification concerning Obama's account of being in Hawaii during the event.
The Apollo 11 splashdown took place 1,440 nautical miles east of Wake Island and 210 nautical miles south of Johnston Atoll on July 24, 1969 – just before Obama's eighth birthday.

Big deal. Can you prove that he never visited Hawaii while he was a child? If not, then he could have been on his grandfather's shoulders during a visit.
ReplyDeleteUNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE: Obama said "why are we worried about our private insurance"? Both UPS and FedEx are doing much better than the US Post Office. In other words he is promoting another governmental agency that he feels will do poorly...??? I just don't get it. How could anyone vote for this plan?
