Obama’s Passport

Published June 16, 2009 | By Bob Mooney

While having little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth
issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can
be resolved by Obama answering one simple question: What passport did he use when he was
shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi ?

So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without
the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of
a round-the-world trip just a month later? And once he was on a plane,
shuttling between New York, Jakarta , and Karachi, what passport was
he offering when he passed Through Customs and Immigration? The American
people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have
answers.

It makes the debate Over Obama’s citizenship a rather short and simple one.

Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?

A: Yes, by his own admission.

Q: What passport did he travel under?

A: There are only three possibilities. 1. He traveled with a U.S.
passport, 2) He traveled with a British passport, or 3) He traveled with an
Indonesian passport.

Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. passport in 1981?

A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department’s “no
travel” list in 1981.

Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either
with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.

If he was traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he
was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if
he was traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that
he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American,
prior to being Adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.

Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he
managed to become a “natural born” American citizen between 1981 and 2008.
Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his
speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to
Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.

Count me in as one of those inquiring minds who’d at least like to know the
answers to these easily answered (by Obama) questions.
