In his 5/21/09 national security speech at the National Archives, Obama said the following:

The documents that we hold in this very hall—the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights -are not simply words written into aging parchment. They are the foundation of liberty and justice in this country, and a light that shines for all who seek freedom, fairness, equality and dignity in the world.

I stand here today as someone whose own life was made possible by these documents. My father came to our shores in search of the promise that they offered.

Barely met him, but knows all about him

Obama talks a lot about his father. He even wrote a book about him. That’s odd when you consider that Obama’s mother divorced his father after he abandoned both of them when Obama turned 2. There is a photo of Obama and his father together when Obama was ten. That is the only time they met when Obama was old enough to remember it.

Actions speak louder than words. Barack Obama, Sr.’s actions do not jibe with Barack Obama, Jr.’s words.

What Obama, Sr. actually did

Obama senior was married at age 18 in 1954 and had four children. He switched from Islam to atheism.

In 1959, he left a pregnant wife behind in Kenya and enrolled in the University of Hawaii on a Hollywood-star paid scholarship for Africans. In 1961, without bothering to get divorced or to tell her he was already married, Barack Obama, Sr. married the already pregnant Anne Dunham, president Obama’s mother.

The following year, Obama, Sr. graduated from Hawaii and went to Harvard to get a masters degree, leaving Dunham and Obama, Jr. behind. Dunham divorced him.

When he graduated from Harvard, he took with him back to Kenya an American teacher. He later married her and they had two children before divorcing.

He became a senior economist in the Socialist Kenyan government.

He then got fired and became an impoverished drunk who lost his legs in one car crash and his life in another at age 46.

I see nothing in Obama, Sr.’s life that suggests he had even the slightest interest in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights. The Kenya government he worked for was a dictatorship (Jomo Kenyatta).

It appears to me that Obama, Sr. came to the U.S. to get free education and to meet chicks.

Obama has ‘issues’ with regard to his father

President Obama’s many delusions regarding his alcoholic, bigamist, deadbeat dad manifest a psychological disorder so obvious that even we non-psychologists can see it. My mom told me I had an imaginary brother when I was 3, complete with a name. When I was 3 1/2, my first real brother was born and my parents gave him the name I had already chosen. That’s normal for a 3-year old only child. Obama is 47.

Are we sure this guy is sane enough to hold the most important and dangerous job in the world?
