Harlem Pastor questions Obama citizenship, demands to see birth certificate

The Daily Voice:

As President Obama marks his first six months in office on Monday, Pastor Manning is…accusing Obama of faking his citizenship.

A sign posted on the marquee in front of Manning’s church on Sunday explicitly challenged the president to prove that he was born in the United States, as required under the constitution to become president.

The sign read: “The Blood Of Jesus Against Obama. Mr. Obama Show Us Your Birth Certificate. No Dew Nor Rain.”

Rev. Manning joins Justice Thomas and former Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes as the third African American public figure to question Obama’s citizenship. A fringe group of Obama conspiracy theorists has also been pressing the issue, even though every major news organization that has investigated has confirmed Obama’s natual born U.S. citizenship.

Unlike Keyes and Thomas, though, Manning’s base is located in the black community. He is the pastor of the Atlah World Missionary Church in New York, located at 38 West 123rd Street in Harlem. It’s a very visible location near the intersection of two of the biggest streets in central Harlem, 125th Street and Lenox Avenue.

With only 150 members last year, Manning’s church was not very big or particularly well known by Harlem standards. But his online videos posted on YouTube gave him a presence beyond the small circle of his congregation.

One of his videos about Obama had 1.6 million hits on YouTube last year. Another had 188,000. That may be due to the controversial nature of some of the the pastor’s sermons on YouTube. One, called “Obama Is A Good House Negro,” says white people “have found themselves a good Negro” in Obama. “Barack is a good Negro. He doesn’t say anything mean to us,” Rev. Manning says, imagining what white people say about the Illinois senator.
