Obama's Not Exactly's

Lie Pie Title:  Obama's Not Exactly's
Lie Pie Classification:  election lie pie

 

Obama's  Not  Exactly's:

1) Selma March Got Me Born   - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect  on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.

 
2) Father Was A Goat Herder   - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who  went on to work with the Kenyan Government.


3) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter   - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and  violent governments Kenya has ever had.


4) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT  EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga  has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election  in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The  current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and  establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's  follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to  Odinga on the phone.
Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran  for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When  Odinga lost the elections, his followers burned Christians' homes and then  burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took  shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process  here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. Not  one Obama follower wants you to know the truth!!! 


5) My Grandmother Has  Always Been A Christian  - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5:00 AM  according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't  allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1  man.

 
6) My Name is  African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which  Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and  so is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If  elected, he would be the first Arab-American  President, not the first black  President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his  mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's  side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's  family was mainly Arabs... Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5%  African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states  he's Arab, not African Negro). 

7)  I Never Practiced Islam - NOT  EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at  school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31  years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office. 
April 3,  2008 Article 'Obama was 'quite religious in islam''  

8) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT  EXACTLY, you were registered as  Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check  your own book). February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a  year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to  prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed  delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart  attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the  prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what  Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered,  enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

9) I Was Fluent In  Indonesian  - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the  language.

10) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign  Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and  couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn except how to study  the Koran and watch cartoons.

28) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about  NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government  issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with  them.
