Mark Ndesandjo in his first in-depth interview on allegations of abuse by their father. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just might be near the end, but there will be a transcript.

TEL AVIV – President Obama, who has refused to release his college transcripts, yesterday divulged his daughter Malia scored a 73 on a sixth-grade science test. Obama went into unusual detail about Malia's 73, telling a Wisconsin school audience his 11-year-old daughter recently "became depressed," explaining that in the Obama household "our goal is 90 percent and up" on school tests. Obama said Malia complained her test differed from the class science study guide but that after changing her habits, she scored a 95 on the next science test. He quoted Malia saying, "I like having knowledge." "In our household...

TEL AVIV – President Barack Obama's father was abusive and hit at least one of his American wives, Obama's half-brother disclosed at a press conference in China today. The relationship that Barack Obama Sr. had with his third wife might shed some light into the mysterious relationship between Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, and Barack Obama Sr. It also may provide some background into why Dunham sought a divorce from Obama Sr., although there is actually no record of their marriage. Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo – who had the same, late, father as the U.S. president – spoke to reporters as...

Obama's Half Brother Recalls Their Abusive Father November 3, 2009 China (AP) -- President Barack Obama's half brother has broken his media silence to discuss his new novel -- the semi-autobiographical story of an abusive parent patterned on their late father, the mostly absent figure Obama wrote about in his own memoir. In his first interview, Mark Ndesandjo told The Associated Press that he wrote ''Nairobi to Shenzhen'' in part to raise awareness of domestic violence. ''My father beat my mother and my father beat me, and you don't do that,'' said Ndesandjo, whose mother, Ruth Nidesand, was Barack Obama...

Trick or Treat: Obamas Expect 2,000 Children At White House For Halloween President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, invited more than 2,000 children to the White House on Saturday night for a Halloween party. 31 Oct 2009 Workers install Halloween decorations at the North Portico of the White House in Washington Photo: AFP/Getty Images [Pic in URL] The children, from Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, were to do their trick-or-treating on the most famous front porch in America, the North Portico. There was no word on what the White House treats might include; Mrs Obama is a vocal supporter...

After WND's stunning disclosure yesterday that Michelle Obama publicly admitted her husband's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was "very young and very single" when giving birth to the future U.S. president, three photos of Barack Obama Sr. have now surfaced, raising further questions as to whether the two were actually married. The photos of Barack Obama Sr. attending a University of Hawaii party in the early 1960s, which surfaced on the Internet, show him enjoying the company of fellow students without the presence of Ann Dunham. His demeanor evident in the three photographs suggests a familiarity with women that would give...

The First Marriage JODI KANTOR October 26, 2009 Another Washington dusk, another motorcade, another intimate evening played out in public view. On Oct. 3, just a day after their failed Olympics bid in Copenhagen, Barack and Michelle Obama slipped into a Georgetown restaurant for one of their now-familiar date nights: this time, to toast their 17th wedding anniversary. As with their previous outings, even the dark photographs taken by passers-by and posted on the Web looked glamorous: the president tieless, in a suit; the first lady in a backless sheath. The Obama date-night tradition stretches back to the days when...

In little noticed remarks, Michelle Obama stated at a public event that her husband's mother, Ann Dunham, was "very young and very single" when she gave birth to the future U.S. president. Her comments further undermine the official story as told by Barack Obama – that Dunham was married to his father, Barack Obama Sr., at the time of birth. The remarks were made by Michelle Obama during a July 2008 round table at the University of Missouri. Obama was responding to criticism of her husband's presidential campaign speeches about fatherhood and faith-based initiatives. Michelle Obama explained her husband understands...

President Obama's school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk.

First lady dishes on Leno about her husband's most annoying habits First Lady Michelle Obama dished on Jay Leno's NBC show Friday about her husband's most annoying habits, sarcastically quipping hubby Barack is "perfect" before she spilled the beans about how he angers her the most. Leno asked Michelle on-air Friday what irritated her the most about her presidential partner, igniting Michelle's dry sense of humor -- she deadpanned that he was "perfect," then revealed it's his top-notch tennis game that drives her crazy. "He beats me quite often," Obama answered. "It gets to be pretty annoying." Michelle continued to...

Waiting in line for health care. Some of the 1,200 people who braved rain and 39 degree (3 degrees Celcius) temperatures queue to receive a free H1N1 flu vaccine at Richard J. Daley College in Chicago October 24, 2009. (Reuters) Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency today. Over 1,000 people have died from the swine flu in the US this year. The AP reported: President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect noninfected patients. The...

First Daughters Not Vaccinated Against H1N1 President Obama's school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk. The Centers for Disease Control recommend that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a vaccination against the H1N1 flu virus. At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain. The CDC also says a regular seasonal flu shot does not protect...

The White House has released the official Obama family photo...take a look!

Does anybody know something about Obama's sister Maya Soetoro and her previous marriage? I was on the Hawaii Juduciary public access and noticed that Maya Soetoro had been married to and divorced in 1995 from a person named Gary Forth. When you reserach a Gary Forth in Hawaii, you come up with a person that runs an organic "micro-farm" called MA'O Organic Farm. Does anybody know if this is the same person that was married to Maya Soetoro? I find it amusing that if this is the case, the farm has the same name as the infamous chinese leader MAO...

We already knew that Barack Obama's brother Malik was a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argued that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture."

Research into the family of US First Lady Michelle Obama has revealed that her great-great-great-grandmother was a slave given away at the age of six. According to genealogist Megan Smolenyak, the girl was described in papers only as "negro girl Melvinia". In her early teens, working as a slave on a farm in Georgia, she was made pregnant by an unknown white man. The son she gave birth to around the year 1859, Dolphus, was Michelle's great-great grandfather. Megan Smolenyak, whose discoveries have been detailed in the New York Times newspaper, said she was not surprised by what she discovered....

The state run media is putting this story everywhere. No wonder newspapers , mag's and network news needs a bailout ... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33221072/ns/politics-the_new_york_times/?GT1=43001

In First Lady’s Roots, a Complex Path From Slavery RACHEL L. SWARNS and JODI KANTOR October 7, 2009 WASHINGTON — In 1850, the elderly master of a South Carolina estate took pen in hand and painstakingly divided up his possessions. Among the spinning wheels, scythes, tablecloths and cattle that he bequeathed to his far-flung heirs was a 6-year-old slave girl valued soon afterward at $475. In his will, she is described simply as the “negro girl Melvinia.” After his death, she was torn away from the people and places she knew and shipped to Georgia. While she was still a...

The International Olympic Committee has been listening to President Soetoro’s recent accounts of America and they agree with him America is not what it should be. President Soetoro spent the first few months of his presidency reaffirming all of the world’s most negative feelings toward America and they heard him. (see previous post)(see 2:16min video) For years Democrats and Liberals have been attempting to undermine America’s position as world leading super power. Former Democrat President Clinton even forecasted that this day would come, a day when America would not be the pre-eminent military, economic and political power. (see related story)...

Obamas Celebrate Wedding Anniversary On the Town First couple eats elegant dinner out in D.C. By CAITLIN MILLAT Updated 6:27 AM EDT, Sun, Oct 4, 2009 The first couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary as Mr. and Mrs. Leader of the Free World Saturday evening, dining out in elegant fashion in the nation's capital to honor their 17th year of matrimony -- but their first in the White House. President Obama and wife Michelle spent the first part of their special day together in the White House after returning from a whirlwind trip to Copenhagen in a failed attempt to...

The Hawaii Department of Health has reversed course. They now admit that they do - in fact – make some vital records information available to the public. This admission reverses their prior response pattern indicating that “no information” could be released.

Was President Obama born out of wedlock in 1961? The question has been rekindled by the publication this month of "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage" by former Time magazine contributing editor Christopher Andersen. Andersen has raised once again the question of whether Obama's parents were ever officially married, writing on page 25: "On February 21, 1961 – a Thursday – Barack Obama and Ann Dunham were reportedly married in a civil ceremony on the island of Maui, although there are no official records showing that a legal ceremony ever took place." Dunham was a teenager, 18-years-old, when...

I know it to be common knowledge that Maya Soetoro, Obama’s half-sister, once stated that Barack was born in Queen's Medical Center, Honolulu, Hawaii. But recently I have been debating this point with a fellow blogger at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution under at article by Jay Bookman, entitled: Birthers aren’t conservative, they’re just nutty, who maintains that, in fact, Maya Soetoro didn't actual say that. It was actually written by a student, Bennett Guira, who wrote it as part of his Obama bio assay, and the quote was later picked up and erronisously attributed to Maya Soetoro. The source she quotes...

America's first family will get vaccinated against swine flu when they are advised to, President Barack Obama said in a television interview broadcast Sunday. "We want to get vaccinated. We think it's the right thing to do. We will stand in line like everybody else and when folks say it's our turn, that's when we'll get it," Obama told CNN's "State of the Union." With the northern hemisphere entering its autumn flu season and infection rates again beginning to spike, many Americans are waiting for the first deliveries of (A)H1N1 vaccines, expected to come in the first weeks of October....

Obama's daughter is named Malia. His half-sister's name is Maya. Editor's note: The second clip in this playlist is a post that compares President Obama's statement about Sasha's health to that of Michelle Obama. President Obama seems to be mistaken -- Sasha did not have meningitis.

In 1981, Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no travel" list and Obama could not have used a US passport to travel to Pakistan. If he used a British passport, it would mean that he was born in Kenya. Because Obama’s stepfather that adopted him was Indonesian and both his mother and him became Indonesian citizens themselves, a country that did not allow dual citizenships, if he used an Indonesian passport, it would raise even more questions that the American people need answers to. Then there is the question of forgery. Watch these videos and form you own opinion....

Here is video showing that President Obama either misrepresented the facts in telling a personal story about his daughter Sasha having been "diagnosed with meningitis," or he simply did not know the facts. At any rate, the New York Times reported: In her speech, Mrs. Obama also told the story of how her daughter Sasha would not stop crying when she was 4 months old. A doctor’s visit revealed she might have meningitis; she ultimately did not, but the illness produced a scare.Thankfully, she did not have meningitis. But why would Obama say she was "diagnosed with meningitis." This is...

Barack Obama's broken promise to African villageDavid Cohen, Evening Standard 25.07.08 It is an extraordinary sight to walk into a basic two-room house under a mango tree in rural east Africa and discover what is essentially a shrine to Barack Obama. The small brick house with no running water, a tin roof and roving chickens, goats and cows is owned by Sarah Obama, Barack's 86-year-old step-grandmother. Inside, the walls are decorated with a 2008 Obama election sticker, an old "Barack Obama for Senate" poster on which he has written "Mama Sarah Habai [how are you?]", a 2005 calendar that says...

Let's say you're preparing dinner and you realize with dismay that you don't have any certified organic Tuscan kale. What to do? Here's how Michelle Obama handled this very predicament Thursday afternoon: The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station. They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with...

KOGELO, Kenya - After Barack Obama was elected to the US Senate in 2004, a delegation from the remote African village where his father was raised journeyed to Washington, seeking financial help. But Obama offered them advice, not money. Now that Obama has moved to the White House, expectations of financial benefit have grown even greater in this tiny hamlet where water is still delivered to thatched huts on the backs of donkeys. “There are still those who are waiting for him to send millions,’’ said Nicholas Rajula, a Kogelo businessman. Dreams alone seem to be sustaining those counting on...

'Lost Tomb' of President Obama's Irish Ancestor Found in Cathedral Obama's Sixth Generation Grand Uncle Was Bishop of Kearney Sept. 8, 2009— A mystery revolving around President Barack Obama's Irish roots was solved when a tomb containing the remains of Obama's Irish ancestor was discovered in the Irish medieval city of Kilkenny. After a painstaking search, film maker Gabriel Murray, who is in the process of making a documentary on Obama's Irish roots, finally found "Obama's Lost Tomb" inside the 13th century St. Canice's Cathedral. Murray, along with Cathedral assistant Frances Moore, used a centuries-old map to identify a hidden...

I do not purport to take a stance on the Obama birth certificate controversy, save to say that his refusal to release the full document is suspicious. I do take issue with falsehoods being put up in Obama's defense though. One of those falsehoods is currently being used to "debunk" the rumor that Obama was born in Mombassa, Kenya instead of Hawaii. The false claim is that Mombassa was part of Zanzibar in 1961 when Obama was born, and it is being repeated without scrutiny by the slothful mainstream media. As with so many things about Obama, this claim is...

It is now well established that Barack Obama was linked to the Hawaiian Communist Party network through his boyhood/teenage mentor Frank Marshall Davis. It is also well known that after moving to Chicago, Obama linked up with the local communist networks. Manning Marable, a leader of the Communist Party offshoot Committees of Correspondence for Democracy&Socialism claims that Obama "understands what socialism is. A lot of the people working with him are, indeed, socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party or as independent Marxists. There are a lot of people like that in Chicago who have worked with him for years..."...

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Lubbock woman is suing President Obama. Dr. Penny Kelso of Lubbock and other members of the Tatriot's Heart Media Group claim that Obama's real name is Barry Soetoro. They claim he is an Indonesian citizen and therefore not entitled to be President. Dr. Kelso has not returned a call from NewsChannel 11. Meanwhile, the local chairwoman of the Democratic Party says the lawsuit lacks merit. "The birth certificate is signed, sealed, and delivered. And there's simply no debate. But there is a sense of real desperation on the part of the extreme conservative fringe of...

RUSH: President Obama has arrived at Marxist Vineyard, has told the press no coverage, just leave us alone, we don't want any coverage here, just leave us alone. I feel like waiting for the next headline on Drudge to be: "People to President: Leave Us Alone! Keep your hands off our health care; keep your hands off our Social Security; keep your hands off everything, just stay up there in Marxist Vineyard with your buddy skip Gates and go play a couple rounds of golf." In fact, I have a very good friend -- I wonder if I should say...

Perhaps President Obama didn't want to look uncool on his bike ride Thursday, but his decision to skip the helmet had safety experts banging their heads. Obama, on vacation with his family in Martha's Vineyard, joined the First Lady and his daughters yesterday for a ride in Aquinnah, a town at the western, most rural end of the island. The President appeared to be the only one with no helmet. Paul Steely White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, an advocacy group in New York, speculated the President might have been concerned about his image. "Helmets look goofy - you look...

Sasha and Malia Obama have avoided the spotlight thus far, but public interest in them is growing. Could there be two luckier tweens in all of America than Malia and Sasha Obama? The Jonas Brothers and Beyoncé sing for them. They get to meet the pope, the queen and Harry Potter. They get personal tours of the Eiffel Tower, the Kremlin, the Sistine Chapel, the Tower of London. They go to the best ice-cream parlor in Rome and make their own gelato. They have visited Yellowstone's Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon, gone whitewater rafting and picked peaches in Colorado....

According to a an intelligence report just received, when Barack Obama's mother, Ann Durham, traveled to Cuba in 1960, as member of a group of American students who were supporting Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution, she was sent to live in a "Red" commune in Central Cuba. Although she was known for her loose behavior or promiscuity, she mostly went out with a Cuban from the city of Sagüa La Grande, on the northern coast of Cuba, named Francisco Cundo. According to the report, when Ann left Cuba in December of 1960, she was two months pregnant. Ann proceeded...

US President Barack Obama rides his bicycle with his daughter Sasha and other family friends along the Lobsterville beach on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Obama will head to his Camp David retreat next week, seeking the rest and relaxation which has been elusive on his frenetic stay on Martha's Vineyard. U.S. President Barack Obama waves from the balcony of Gay Head lighthouse as he tours it with his family in Aquinnah on Martha's Vineyard, August 27, 2009. The lighthouse first opened in 1799.

The females of the first family made the list of the 1,000 most popular baby names, says a new report, but the president did not. Michelle, the first lady's name, and those of her daughters, Sasha and Malia, appeared on the list released Wednesday by the Social Security Administration, The New York Times reports. Sasha, at 353rd, hasn't changed much in rank in the past few years. Malia jumped to 345th most popular baby name last year from 400th in 2007, while Michelle dropped from 94th to 103rd. Other names proved popular because of their association with celebrities. Hillary jumped...

If Obama's father was a Kenyan then how could Hussein be eligible to be POTUS?

On another spectacular day here, the first family hopped on bikes for a beach-side ride in Aquinnah, a town on the southwestern tip of Martha's Vineyard, and a tour of the island's famous lighthouse. Dressed in a dark shirt, Obama rode ahead of the group, which included Michelle (in an orange tank top), Malia (in a pink capped-sleeve shirt) and Sasha (wearing a bright yellow T-shirt and turquoise shorts) as locals gathered along Lobsterville Road to snap pictures. Also in tow: Eric Whitaker and his family, Obama's brother-in-law Konrad Ng, and a phalanx of helmetless Secret Service agents -- also...

President Barack Obama and his family spent more than two hours at a private beach Wednesday and then he grabbed two big bags of fried seafood for lunch. Obama visited the beach with his family after making brief remarks outside his rented compound on Martha's Vineyard about the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy. Obama visited the Oyster Watcha beach with first lady Michelle Obama, his two young daughters and family friends. His motorcade then drove to downtown Oak Bluffs for fried seafood, including calamari, scallops, shrimp and clam strips.
