Do not blame it on racism, please.
Terry Anderson, a black Los Angeles talk radio host, recently enumerated a list of 39 asserted “facts” that President Obama has claimed – before and after the 2008 election –that are not exactly true.
Also, watch the video at the end.
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. Selma was in 1965._(Google “Obama Selma” for his full March 4, 2007, speech and articles about_its various untruths.) __
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.
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. See_what you get. No one wants to know the truth.
5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been a Christian – Not exactly. She does her daily Salat prayers at 5 a.m., according to her own interviews. Not to mention,_Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to one man. __
6.) My Name is African Swahili – Not exactly. Your name is Arabic. “Baraka” (from which Barack came) means “blessed” in that language. Hussein_is also Arabic. So is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. He is the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50 percent Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75 percent Arabic and 6.25 percent 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 percent African Negro and 87.5 percent 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. __4-3-08 article “Obama was 'quite religious in Islam''_”http://www.wnd.com _

Feb. 28, 2008, essayist Nicholas Kristoff from The New York Times: 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 one critic 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. You couldn't even speak_the language. What did you learn, except how to study the Koran and watch_cartoons?
