tape recording of his grandmother saying she witnessed his birth in Kenya
His father? Yeah, that was great. I also enjoyed the part at the end of the tape recording where she mentions her grandson being born in Hawaii.
Christ, you're a sucker, huh? I mean, I've seen gullible before, BUT WOW.
Wow. You just lie when it suits you, don't you?
Unless you've managed to obtain a working knowledge of Swahili, you have no clue what she says "at the end of the tape". There are transcripts of this tape and interpreted versions. There is also an affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court by the guy who questioned her clearly stating what was said.
And for the record, what's at the end of the tape is one of Obama's cousins angrily telling his grandmother not to say anything else once he realizes that what she just said might hurt Obama politically and ending the interview. He's the one who then attempts to correct her by insisting that he was born in Hawaii. Clearly, he was savvy enough to realize that this was important to lie about, while his grandmother did not.
Now, maybe she was confused. But the guys who did this didn't do it out of thin air. They were reacting to several claims made previously by other people that the same grandmother had told them that Obama was born in Kenya. They went to check it out for themselves and document it. The important bit is that this was not the first time she had said this. This was just the first time someone specifically recorded the conversation so that it could be used as evidence.
And regardless of whether you think it's valid or not, it still counts as "evidence".
