So, where is home really?
Indonesia?
Hawaii?
New York?
Illinois?
or
Kenya?
So, the narrative of Barack Hussein Obama goes something like this…
Little Barack grew up in Hawaii, then moved to Indonesia, then returned to Hawaii, then went to college in California, then New York and he finally settled in Chicago, Illinois, where Obama became a “community activist” and democrat Illinois state politician.
In 2004, a rare political opportunity arose when the incompetent Illinois republican party suddenly removed their candidate for the United States Senate seat. This feebleminded play allowed the Illinois democratic party to slip Obama into the election – which he won.
Beyond the usual questions surrounding Obama, like his missing birth certificate, the fact that his name was Barry Soetoro during his early life, the fact that his university records are all sealed, the fact that he launched his national political career in the livingroom of the domestic terrorist Bill Ayres, etc., the question that never seems to be answered is where his “home” really is.
Obama claims to be from Chicago, but he grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia. That noted, one of his first big acts as the US senator from Illinois, was to take a trip to Africa.
The argument and mystery of Barack Hussein Obama’s true birthplace and place of origin only became more convoluted when the freshman senator from Illinois made a speech while in Kenya. There, Obama said, “I am so proud to come back home!”
While it’s probably unlikely that he was born in Kenya, he clearly gives his homage to the homeland of his declared father, who was definitely Kenyan. For most politicians this would be an exceptionally problematic position of loyalty.
Perhaps we should all just accept the narrative that Obama has declared to choke off any questions about his true geographic point of origin. That’s easier said than done considering his own statements. In 2008, then presidential candidate Obama, made a speech in front of a large crowd in Germany and declared, “Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen – a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.”
Again, the question of Senator Obama’s shared national loyalty arose and this should have been investigated. However, the media and his republican presidential opponent, Senator John McCain, refused to dig into the statement.
US senators are members of the most exclusive and powerful club in the United States. Membership appears to have some very protective benefits to avoid serious questioning. Both McCain and Obama were senators while running for president. It could be suggested, that as members of this elite group, there was an unspoken agreement to avoid hardball politics and vetting. Plus, McCain had been born in Panama (to a deployed military parent) and it could be speculated that he didn’t want this birth place issue to surface and potentially damage himself.
Obama’s “Citizen of the world” statement would make just about any progressive liberal socialist, proud. However, it likewise made many American populists cringe.
Post presidency, Obama kept his Chicago house, but also bought a home in the exclusive 1%ers wealthy community of Martha’s Vineyard. He also purchased a home in Washington D.C and a beachfront mansion in Hawaii. Multiple homes, but they are all in the USA.
Dual Loyalty seems to be final answer that Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama, has decided to stick with. On his 2018 trip back to Africa, as ex-United States president and off the teleprompter, he reiterated his identity in a speech saying, “Today I’m really coming as a brother, as a citizen of the world.”
It is the opinion of this writer that all United States Presidents should maintain an exclusive loyalty to the United States of America. Presidents must consider “home” to be the United States. All US presidents are elected to serve the citizens of the United States, not the generic citizen of the world, period. Anything else seems of ill intent and could potentially suggest nefarious acts that are not in the best interest of this nation.
