How do you know if Obama’s lying?
Easy, his lips are moving.
I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Well, at least electors have standing to query his qualifications after the election is held.
Problem though. If Obama/Biden were to “win” on Nov 4 and one or more electors brought disqualifying information forward, who’d want to be stuck withg Biden? OK, maybe a foolish poltroon would make a better president than a Marxist snake.

Sorry, but you’ve got an edited audio clip there. Here is the longer version, with over three more minutes of conversation with Grandma Obama.
And what is the VERY NEXT THING she says after your transcript ends?
MCRAE: Okay, when I come in December. I would like to come by the place, the hospital, where he was born. Could you tell me where he was born? Was he born in Mombasa?
OGOMBE: No, Obama was not born in Mombasa. He was born in America.
MCRAE: Whereabouts was he born? I thought he was born in Kenya.
OGOMBE: No, he was born in America, not in Mombasa.
MCRAE: Okay. Do you know whereabouts he was born? Do you know where he was born? I thought he was born in Kenya. I was going to go by and see where he was born.
OGOMBE: Hawaii. Hawaii. Sir, she says he was born in Hawaii.
MCRAE: Okay.
OGOMBE: In the state of Hawaii, where his father was also learning, there. The state of Hawaii.

So..? So what? So she was surrounded by people who’d been briefed. She didn’t alter what she said - the people who were covering for Obama did.
Kind of reminds me of what you’re doing here - to my mind, that last part is irrelevant to what Grandma said; it just shows that the thought police exist in Kenya to shape the opinions of whoever is trying to find out the truth.

What evidence is there of ‘thought police’? There isn’t any, you in fact, made that up. You have NO evidence of ‘handlers’ or of anyone there who had been “briefed”. That is just you trying to put off any doubt of what you WANT to believe. Mcrae, we do know, was asking LEADING questions from the begin with, not good interviewing and obviously shows he had an agenda and already believes he knows the answer.

I didn’t make it up, LOL…
They surrounded her. They had been briefed. When she said he was born in kenya, they countered it with what the acceptable answer was and repeated it. (a lie told often enough becomes truth)
That IS the thought police; it’s an OBSERVATION - drawing conclusions from an observation is sorely lacking in a lot of the people who are supposedly “reviewing” material such as this, unfortunately.
Luckily, not everyone is void of certain skills that enable them to draw conclusions from an exchange such as this…
They didn’t let grandma’s words stand alone - they changed the meaning and then drowned her out.
That is, in fact, a great example of the thought police.
And you are a great example, too - in that - nobody is allowed an opinion other than what you think they should have.
Isn’t that policing my thoughts?
