In Monday’s debate between Trump and Hillary, Lester Holt, of the Democratic Party press, resurrected the question of Barack Obama’s birthplace, as if it had the slightest relevance to the 2016 presidential race. But that is all they have, and so they use it in desperation, believing that the American people care about what Donald Trump, a private citizen in 2008 or 2011, thought about it, since probably about a hundred million Americans in 2008 believed Obama was not a citizen of the United States. And why would not Donald Trump or any other American in 2008 question the history of a man the country knew nothing about? Consider – we knew, from Obama’s own words, that his father was a Kenyan communist and his mother gave him away to his grandparents who sent him to be mentored by a radical American communist named Frank Marshall Davis, whom Obama described as his real father. We knew only that Obama came to Chicago where he was an Alinsky communist community organizer, spent twenty years in the pews of a rabid anti-American preacher named Jeremiah Wright, and became a fast friend of American terrorists, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, founders of the terrorist organization The Weather Underground, responsible for the deaths of two policemen and the bombings of a number of government buildings. His entry form to elementary school in Indonesia listed him as Barry Soetero, Muslim, He reportedly attended Punahoe, and elite school, but none of his supposed schoolmates, when interviewed in 2009 0r 2010, remembered him. He reportedly attended both Harvard and Columbia, but no school grades are available, and as far as I know no classmate from either school has ever come forward. The man was and is a mystery, an unknown who parachuted in and with the help of the left-wing media and unnamed sponsors became the president of the United States. And now the Democrats, fearing Trump’s attempts to dislodge a percentage of the monolithic Democrat black vote, and determined to keep the black vote in their pockets, are screaming that Donald Trump was once a Birther, notwithstanding that it was the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 that first raised the question. But there are more questions to be answered than where he was born, and perhaps when Donald Trump is president a reporter or two may feel it safe to look into the possibly Manchurian background of Barry Soetero/Barack Hussein Obama.

Just how did he gain
That white slave-built house
And who was it that
Had put him in there
And who really was
His mother’s real spouse
But where was he born
I really don’t care
But is he malign
Or stupid and slow
Is this now the time
No crisis to waste
Yes, these are the things
That I want to know
Is Manchuria
The question erased
