Well***Well***Well____OBAMA Lies About Father Assisted By Kennedy's Support To Arrive In USA

Just another lie that was included in an all to familiar "Empty" statement.

It is a touching story — but the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified.

Contrary to Obama's claims in speeches in January at American University and in Selma last year, the Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September 1959 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the United States that included Obama's father. According to historical records and interviews with participants, the Kennedys were first approached for support for the program nearly a year later, in July 1960. The family responded with a $100,000 donation, most of which went to pay for a second airlift in September 1960.
