This may have been a slip of the tongue or the First Lady may have meant President Obama's father when she said "his home country". The audio could have been spliced and diced in a video chop shop. There's no denying it came out kind of awkward sounding. During a speech she gave to the LGBT community Michelle Obama referred to the African country of Kenya as Barack Obama's home country.
The comment happens at 40 seconds into the video below. As you know President Obama's father originated from the beautiful country of Kenya. Obama was born in Hawaii as his birth certificate indicates.
This video has been making its rounds around the internet but has not really gained much attention. As the economy gets stronger and Republicans have had to battle sex scandal allegations recently. It seems as if the country is starting to get used to the political games that get played by politicians.
Financial reform may have politicians fighting over legislation. I guess we'll found out next week whether it will be a big fight or a small one.

A slip of the tongue or a Freudian slip?
Or maybe the first line of deduction should be the most obvious: that she slipped up and told the truth about Barrack. She was speaking of "their" trip to Africa; Sr. had been dead for quite awhile (1982 Sr. died).
Her sentence is: "Barack has led by example, when we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country? in, Kenya." The liberal writing this piece would like us to believe that somewhere in that sentence Michelle is mentioning Barack Sr.
Excuse me sir, but don't try to make it as a reporter, or an investigator; your logic skills are poisoned by your politics! Stick to progressive comentary in the Huffington Post.
Ha ha, I should post this at www.Stormfront.org.
As the economy gets stronger? What planet are you living on?
michelle slipped up and actually told the TRUTH.
no she did not slip up, she said what she meant to said.
What birth certificate? An official birth certificate has never been released. All we've seen are two different versions of a certificate of live birth. Not the same thing.
Have you seen Obama's actual birth certificate?
Considering that all that has been publicly posted is a supposed certificate of live birth, I highly doubt that you have seen the actual birth certificate.

I am so sick of this man violating our constitution and pretending to be black, even if he was born here he has no connection to OUR black community, Blago is right, he is blacker than obama, during WW2 white folks would never have put up with this, they have lost their backbone, this guy is a fraud, a confidence man, you wonder why the black community is in trouble? guys like this, he's got plenty of money, an army of harvard goons and they tell us he is good and the republicans basically rolled over and gave it to him, then these black folks stand up and act like he's not a crook, HE IS, he is a chicago politician, you like obama, COME GET AN APARTMENT ON 79TH & STONY ISLAND, live under the rule of these b@stards, pay $900 a month to live in the ghetto, yeah people move out, but if your grandma's house is over there if you move then you never see anybody, NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE IN BOYSTOWN JERK! Im so sick of northside black folks with their waspy black pride, LIVE BIRTH CERT
ENEN HIS WIFE admits he is not a natural born citizen!!! he must be removed from office by the newly elected congress in 2010!!
here's the original video, posted back in 2008... its real, alright.
bit.ly/aTSD4e she says it at 13:50
There is no doubt Michelle Obama was talking about her husband when she made the comment. I believe this issue needs to be put to rest permanently. Please Mr. President, stop the nonsense and release your long form birth certificate to prove your wife wrong.
who are you jackasses?!
So when will we see the real birth certificate? Cant they find it abd show us? Instead they look for hidden easter eggs
Obama says he was legally adopted by Indonesian Lu Lu Sotero when his mother remarried and his name was Barry Sotero. They lived in Indonesia and he admits he went to the Muslim school. This means he was an Indonesian citizen. When did he get his US citizenship back and have his name legally changed back to Obama? Since Indonesia and the US did not have any agreements on dual citizenship he would have revoked his US citizenship for eternity. Even if he did have dual citizenship, he would not be eligible to run for President of the United States as the Constitution forbids those with dual citizenship from running. So the heck with the Long Form Birth Certificate where’s the legal paper work on the name change and his citizenship status? His records from Occidental College would show whether he applied on a foreign student Visa to attend the California College, but he won’t produce those records either. In fact just four days after being sworn in he signed Executive Order #13489 s
...In fact just four days after being sworn in he signed Executive Order #13489 sealing ALL of his records. Doesn’t sound like a guy with nothing to hide.
She was speaking at a LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL TRANSGENDERED gathering . . . figures. Pervert the truth in front of a bunch of PERVERTS!!
I think she spoke the thruth.
Nice slant story. Its about her saying his home country of Kenya, and you throw in the fictional opinion that audio could be spliced? you then change the subject and say republicans sex scandal?
You mean the one guy who submitted a receipt from an adult club, the one guy who then got fired?
The local fundraiser? not even an elected offical?
Way to change the story, defend the Obama, I assume because youre black and its your job to to defend him to the end.
In the DEM PARTY, you cheat on your cancer dying wife and you get 20% of the vote, you dont pay your taxes and you become a cabinet member...An advisor submits a receipt for $2000 and he gets fired not promoted.
Wow... the author of this piece isn't biased in the slightest. She said they went to Barack's home country of Kenya, not his dad's. And it seems to me like the democrats are battling WAY more sex scandals and the like than the republicans (um hello who forced their interns to live with them?? not a republican)
on the positive side, the examiner mentions the video, even though it's from the democratic convention, BUT the "reporting" is ridiculous... why say the video has been spliced and doctored? why say that she must have been referring to obama's father? these are defensive comments and hardly stating anything factual. it's like a person "answering" for this woman's blunder. she says it with a straight face and doesn't correct herself... an article that tries to be "objective", might actually mention his sealed records and the executive order and ask questions about whether the man is who he said he is. why conflate and talk about "political games" that the public is "getting used to"... what public are you talking about? is it a typical political game to lie about one's eligibility for the presidency, and if so, since when?
lol...Michelle is a birther...who knew. LOL
Tell me, Mr. Bryan, have YOU seen Obama's ACTUAL birth certificate, with the name of the attending physician shown, with the SIGNATURE of the attending physician and the NAME OF THE HOSPITAL in which Obama was born. He WAS born in Kenya. By the way, "Obama" means "crooked" or "slightly bent" or "bent". People always have names for what they are and what they do. Jacob, from the Bible means "Supplanter" but YAHWEH changed is name to "Israel" who became the father of twelve sons whose descendants became the TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL. So YAHWEH our FATHER blessed Jacob, and changed his name to ISRAEL, which means "Overcomer with "God". Israel was a great man, as are his descendants, which are NOT just the JEWS of the nation in the Middle East, but include ALL of the descendants of the 12 sons. On the other hand, "Obama", which means "bent" or "slightly bent" or "crooked" lives up to the meaning of his name. He lies, is morally CROOKED and he even tips his head to one side often.
A perfect example of a hack reporter.
Actuall not a reporter at all.
Just another liberal moron, Obamoron.
What a joke. Your IQ must be right up there with table salt.
Hey Cliff how can you write such a piece without laughing out loud. Beautiful and Kenya in the same sentence??????
It really doesnt matter, after all he (Obama) will turn the US into Kenya before he is done.
Joe Blow to answer your question this reporter is living on the planet of denial.
As the economy gets stronger??????
You mean unemployment going down from 9.7 to 9.7?
Or the debt being larger than the last for presidents combined.
We are alot more informed than you mr. Cliff.
See the trouble is the people you are trying to reach cant read.
Judging by all the comments you are the only one buying your story.
Hey Cliffy how about looking into Obama's lie that he was a constitutional professor.
Hey Cliffy why not try and get Obama's college records?
Afraid of what you might find?
Hey Cliffy your a joke. A bad joke.
Oh GG, she knows exactly what she said, and was hoping & praying she got away with it!
She isn't oblivious to what is and isn't correct, she's black and shes trying to push that envelope or hide behind it. Playing both ends. Remember the "hugged queen" mess?
I don't think she is that stoopid. Sorry.
his wife is a birther! lamestream media totally covering this video up, and another one where she says the same thing. how could his freaking wife get this wrong? if this were Bush the media would be all over this 24 hours a day.
What a bunch of nut jobs! Sorry you're so angry that a black man is in the White House. Deal with it! He was born right here in Hawaii, and its been certified by both our Department of Health, and the Governor (who is a Republican and Bush's good friend) confirmed it. Too bad you guys are such bigots. Does us all a favor and stay the hell out of Hawaii. We don't like racists here. The majority here is not white, something you'd better get used to real soon. ROTFLMAO at a bunch of stupid hicks!
