Did You Know: President Obama Was Almost Given Up For Adoption During His Mother’s Pregnancy!

Holy orphan POTUS Batman! An immigration document has revealed that the parents of US President Barack Obama had plans to put their unborn child for adoption to the Salvation Army. Just a few months before Obama was born, his father Barack Obama Sr was under inspection from immigration officials who suspected him of bigamy. During an interview in Hawaii in 1961, the then 24-year-old revealed that he had divorced his first wife in Kenya and that his new wife Ann Dunham was five months’ pregnant. In fact, Lyle H. Dahling, an administrator in the Honolulu immigration office, wrote in 1961 that Dunham was actually planning to give away the baby to the army. “Subject got his USC [United States citizen] wife Hapai [Hawaiian for pregnant] and although they were married they do not live together and Miss Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away,’’ the Telegraph quoted Dahling as saying. Why was this detail about President Obama’s past not revealed previously?? Though most of the memo had been published earlier, the passage regarding adoption had been snipped off. But now the memo is entire obtained, thanks to Sally Jacob’s request under Right to Information. Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told Jacobs that Obama, who was completely unaware of his mother’s plan of putting him up for adoption, was ‘absolutely convinced that she did not’. Apparently Ms. Jacobs has written a book about the POTUS father and wanted to investigate the whole story. Can you imagine how Ann Dunham would have felt if she gave away the future POTUS?!? Good save Annie. Source Check out the beautiful childhood moments that might have never happened…

A Lil Positivity: Solange Trades The Turntables Back In To Make It Rain On The Mic For Africa

Now that Solange Knowles has made a name for herself outside of Bey Bey’s shadow as a DJ, she’s using her other God given talent to make it RAIN for Africa. Literally. Solo partnered with indie singers Chris Taylor and Twin Shadow to record the new song “Kenya” to benefit The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation’s Replenish Africa Initiative, aka Rain. “Water is a necessity, it’s not a privilege,” Solange says. “The ‘Music for Rain’ project gives everyone a chance to contribute and play a part in improving the situation.” The single, which you can hear below, can be downloaded at MusicForRain.net for however much you want to donate to the cause, and the money will go towards the effort to raise $10,000 for clean water projects in Rwanda, Uganda, and Cameroon… but not Kenya. Random, right?

Wikileaks memo reveals Egypt’s Nile fears over Sudan

In the cable, written last year, a foreign ministry official urged the US to help postpone a referendum on independence for Southern Sudan. The official said the creation of “a non-viable state” could threaten Egypt's access to the River Nile. Cairo's Almasry Alyoum newspaper published the cable, one of thousands being released by Wikileaks. Southern Sudan is due to vote in a referendum on independence in January. But in the cable – from the US embassy in Cairo – the official talks of implications should south Sudan secede and concern is expressed about the River Nile – a lifeline for Egypt. Egypt has in the past threatened to go to war with any country tampering with the Nile. The official said the creation of “a non-viable state” could threaten Egypt's access to the Nile at a time when several countries are negotiating how to share the river's water. The official presses the US to help postpone the referendum by four to six years. Egypt clearly fears a new nation, Southern Sudan, would be more likely to side with the upstream countries of the Nile basin like Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia. http://bit.ly/gEJyqq added by: ras_menelik

Anderson Cooper Shellacks Texas Birther With Torrent Of Facts

CNN's Anderson Cooper took Texas birther and state Rep. Leo Berman (R) down a whole bunch of pegs last night over Berman's birther bill. “You're basing legislation on stuff that's just rumors and stuff that's been proven to be false,” Cooper told him. Earlier this month, Berman introduced a bill in the Texas House that would “require any candidate for president or vice president of the United States to show his or her birth certificate to the Texas secretary of state,” because, as Berman put it, “we have a president whom the American people don't know whether he was born in Kenya or some other place.” Berman, who has also called President Obama “God's punishment on us today,” went on AC360 to talk about his bill, but ended up fumbling through his notes when Cooper hit him with, you know, facts. One representative exchange came after Berman asked why no one has access to any of the President's school records. “Why don't we know anything about a president who has such a radical agenda?” he said. Cooper asked him: “Have you seen George W. Bush's transcripts from college?” Berman replied: “I can see anything I want from George W. Bush.” “Actually sir, you couldn't,” Cooper fired back. “Under federal law the schools cant release that information.” Berman, unable to respond to this, soon moved on: “Where are the president's passports and his travel records that got him to Pakistan in the early 90s, when no U.S. citizen could get to Pakistan at all?” Cooper replied: “What you just said is factually incorrect,” adding that Obama traveled to Pakistan in 1981 when Americans could still go there. “That's just an internet rumor that you're spreading,” Cooper said. added by: TimALoftis

Is C Street Winning?: Orders Given To Arrest Gays In Kenya

Prime Minister Raila Oldinga ordered a nationwide crackdown on gays in Kenya. He ordered police to arrest anyone engaging in homosexual behavior. Oldinga states, “We will not tolerate such behaviours in the country. The constitution is very clear on this issue and men or women found engaging in homosexuality will not be spared.” The anti-progress premier went on to say that, “Any man found engaging in sexual activities with another man should be arrested. Even women found engaging in sexual activities will be arrested.” In October, media sources began publishing pictures of gays in Uganda. The headlines read, “100 Pictures of Uganda’s Top Homos Leak.” Slapped next to the headline was a banner reading “Hang Them.” Sine those headlines ran, 4 Ugandans have been attacked while others fled in hiding. Today in Kenya at a public rally the Prime Minister recalled the ratio of men to women being equal population wise, then pondered why their people should engage in homosexual activity. C Street must be gleefully applauding this. Examiner.com: > C Street politics: The Christian mafia is advocating the death penalty for > homosexuals in Uganda.
