Just when you thought you could breathe a bit easier with the speculations about the President’s birth certificate being put (mostly?) to rest, along comes another can of worms in the form of the release of an immigration file on Barack Obama‘s father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. The file includes a lot of information that paints a different picture than many (like this?) we have seen before.

Pamela Geller hits the story with the kind of frank commentary we’ve come to expect from her: Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.: Nightmares of My Father

What a horrible man. Dreams of My Father. Indeed. Perhaps this explains President Obama’s animus towards the United States..

She puts it quite a bit more harshly in the rest of her article than I would put it, but suffice it to say that it’s pretty clear now that Barack Obama, Sr., was something of a “slippery character“.

From Fox News:

With a father like this, it is little wonder President Obama did not want to release his full birth certificate.

Though the proof that he was actually born in Hawaii may silence some critics, a new, rather more interesting side of his life has emerged – that his father Barack Obama senior was a serial womaniser and polygamist who government and university officials were trying to force out of the country.

That’s about the size of it.

Already, one New York Times contributor, Andrew Rice, has come to the defense of Obama, Sr., in claiming that he was ‘eased out’ of Harvard and deported from America….for dating white women. No, I think that when you date a lot of women, no matter their color, while you also happen to be married is the problem, Mr. Rice.

As you can see, the views on the left and the right are again polar opposites, and can be over the top.

Mind you, I don’t hold the sins of the father against the son. It does seem to shed new light on the hypocrisy of the left, however, in regard to how merciless they can be in their opposition research and in raking the families of conservatives over the coals…particularly the family of Sarah Palin who was so effective for the Republican presidential ticket during the 2008 campaign.

It remains to be seen how this new information will be handled by the media, including pundits in the blogophere, in the days (weeks? months?) to come. Hopefully, we can be talking less about Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.’s misdeeds and more about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.’s misdeeds…but I’m not holding my breath.
