This is fabulous.
Don Whitely would be right at home at Brock 😉
Don: Superb piece. You’ve outed yourself on another thread, as really being a Brocker, but I will let you reveal you own identity if you choose to do it here.
You could follow up with the fact that Obama also had citizenship in Indonesia as a child. He truly is a “Citizen of the World” and should be treated as such under GATCA.
Congratuatlions.
Maybe he has already been lurking and reading here for ideas… 🙂

…if other countries were to copy the US citizenship taxation model as a delusional answer to their current deficit problems?
Mr. Whitely, I love your article. I’ve always believed turnaround is fair play!
The Obamas had their best income in 2009. Here’s a quick list of their income for the last 3 years.
2009 = $5.5 million (that’s when everybody thought he was the second coming)
2010 = $1.7 million (people are starting to figure out he’s not all that)
I think Michelle may have to get a job in 2013. She used to make way more than Obama before he wrote his autobiography.
Way to go Mr.Whitely!! Bravo!!
Wonderful Article!
Right on!
Excellent reductio ad absurdum. Arrow on the bullseye. And good placement. Unless a miracle happens, this story can only mushroom into a far overshadowed future. There are many more words due to emanate from this arrogant American atrocity.
Great article! Loved it.
I think that FATCA hits the fan, articles like this will help against the anti-Americanism FATCA may generate among 1st class Canadians.
Thank you so much for your fantastic article. Knew you were a fellow Vancouverite; nice to know I have always read your columns. Would love to have the article reproduced in one of the big American papers ie Washington Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune etc.
Hits the nail right on the head. This is the sort of stuff homelander politicians and academics need to read. Then perhaps they will begin to understand. I hope this article goes viral.
Don Whitely for Isaac Brock Hall of Fame!
Second that on the hall of fame. @Arrow, why not submit it to Truthdig- Chris Hedges who’s suing Obama over NDAA contributes there, and Breibart’s Big Government-they hate Obama (that’s where I first heard of DATCA).
What am I doing wrong? I go to the Vancouver Sun site, click on Business and it isn’t there. Do we have to clear our cookies and boost the hits on that direct link to bring Arrow-Don’s article to the top?
It’s an op-ed piece. I don’t know why you get a “business” link — that’s a mistake. If the link Don Kane posted doesn’t do it, go to the Sun site again and click on the opinion section.
Tiger — and others:
I really appreciate all your comments. Bubblebustin — I will have a go at those sites.
And to all: I struck out big-time trying to get US mainstream media to print this, but sometimes if it gets enough traction (or goes viral — not much hope there) it can rise up phoenix-like and start to get play. Please don’t anybody hold your breath …

This op-ed really puts things in a manner that “homelanders” may finally be able to comprehend. And it certainly cannot be taken as a rant.
Many of them still just don’t get it, to include the members of the so-called Americans Abroad Caucus and certainly not the members of the Joint Committee on Taxation.
It would be good if ACA were able to send it out through their normal distribution channels.
It would make a wonderful script for a youtube video like the one somebody made a while back about the two American expats in Switzerland.
I think it should go to Obama as well. Who knows, somebody in his inner circle might actually read it.
@FromTheWilderness, I bet someone in Obama’s inner circle would read it as soon as they saw the word Kenya. Here’s an interesting quote from a new article dated May 18, 2012.
Here’s Obama’s full bio from the 1991 brochure:
Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.
@Petros, Obama should get as much grief about his having lied for 16 years as Elizabeth Warren is getting right now about having claimed to be native Indian without any proof to back it up. Some of the press have got her on the run as she’s trying to get elected to public office.
This is fabulous.

Couldn’t help myself, had to look for a bio:

Although we already knew he was a good person to have on our side, this bio just proves it even more!

‘Born in Kenya’: Obama’s Literary Agent Misidentified His Birthplace in 1991
@Arrow, I’ve been holding my breath for 6 months now…
What are the copyright restrictions (as stated at end)?
@omg the ABC article is a coverup. The agent for Obama would not have created a bio for him unapproved by Obama. That’s a canard that needs to die a quick death. That means that in 1991, Obama himself was promoting himself as born in Kenya: http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/05/why_kenyan_birth_claim_was_no_fact_checking_error.html
He was the first “birther” (i.e., people that believe that Obama was born in Kenya or somewhere besides the United States): http://pjmedia.com/eddriscoll/2012/05/17/was-obama-himself-the-first-birther/
@Petros, Obama should get as much grief about his having lied for 16 years as Elizabeth Warren is getting right now about having claimed to be native Indian without any proof to back it up. Some of the press have got her on the run as she’s trying to get elected to public office.
