On April 3, 2007, Barack Obama’s publisher said he was “born in Kenya”

BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.

This does not mean that Obama was born in Kenya. Instead, what it does mean is that on April 3, 2007, his publisher said that he was “born in Kenya.”

In 2012, a former employee of his publisher said that this was a “fact checking error” that happened in 1991.

In my mind, this raises the following three questions:

1) If this was a “fact checking error,” where did this false information originate?

2) Why did this false information remain in place for sixteen years?

3) Why did it only get corrected in 2007, when Obama announced that he was running for President?

For democrats facts are irrelevant. Truth can change as is needed by the situation. Don’t quote what I said yesterday, today is a whole new situation.

I realize that the following may be rhetorical questions, but here are my answers.

1) If this was a “fact checking error,” where did this false information originate?

It originated with Barry Obama.

2) Why did this false information remain in place for sixteen years?

Because it was needed to perpetuate the fraud being committed by Barry Obama.

3) Why did it only get corrected in 2007, when Obama announced that he was running for President?

Because Barry Obama needed to be a natural-born American to be eligible to run for president.

That publisher has no standing.

[dinodino]

Perfectly put.

If I were a Republican firebrand, I would have the Dystel biography pic projected on every TV in America.

Still waiting for Trump to “drop the big one”. Now would be a real good time to do it.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Trump comes across as pretty fearless and if anyone could drop a deuce on BO, he would be the man to do it.

[9422WMR]

Just ask:
Was he lying then, or is he lying now?

[Theodore R.]

Trump likes the goodwill of his fellow New Yorkers, and he knows such evidence would not please them.

According to Joel Gilbert's "Dreams From My Real Father," the real issue about the birth certificate was not the place where he was born, but the fact that in the place where the name of the father is listed it says - UNKNOWN.

Obama is probaly pretty happy that everyone thinks he may have been born in Kenya. However, if it turned out that Barack Obama Sr. was not his father, then the supposed son's entire rouse that he was the son of a goat herder from Kenya is no longer viable.

Also, in Gilbert's movie, the fact that Obama has refused to release his transcripts may be as trivial as the fact that he was a very poor student, so he can't claim to be a genius. They can't have their messiah turning out to be actually dumber than George Bush.

• 1991 - When Obama announced a book, "Journeys in Black and White" (never published), he represented himself as "born in Kenya" through his literary agency, Acton & Dystel.
• June 1998 - June 2002 – In Jane Dystel Literary Management client listings, his revised biographical summary claimed Obama as the author of "Dreams From My Father," still showing him "born in Kenya."
• December 2004 - Jane Dystel Literary Management's client listing reflected Obama's updated experience as "junior Democratic senator from Illinois" and "keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention," but continued to assert that Obama was "born in Kenya."
• April 3, 2007 - Having announced his candidacy for the US Presidency in February 2007, the client list for Jane Dystel Literary Management still portrayed Barack Obama as "born in Kenya." Later, on April 21, 2007, for the first time, Obama's biographical summary claimed Obama was "born in Hawaii."

Despite 16 years of portraying himself as "born in Kenya," in December 2010, Obama, as Commander In Chief of the US Military, allowed a decorated war veteran and Army Flight surgeon, Terry Lakin, to be wrongfully court-martialed while being denied the right of discovery. Lakin was unjustly punished with six months in prison, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and dishonorable discharge from the US Army for questioning Obama's questionable eligibility as President and, consequently, Obama's authority to give lawful orders to the military.

  True Americans need to get busy and evict this usurper.
He is ineligible under the Constitution and Congress knows it.
We should not suffer having him on the ballot, let alone in the White House.

I am telling you people you are barking up the wrong tree.

Obama was born in Hawaii

The SCANDAL is likely centered around the college records. Did he put down that he was a foreign exchange student in order to receive special privileges or not have to pay as much money to attend school (or receive special scholarships)

That is where everyone should be looking for scandal.

Does “ - - - Obama’s publisher (Dystel & Goderich Literary Management) dated April 3, 2007. It says that Obama was “born in Kenya.” - - - “ have an UNSEALED copy of Obama’s School Status, Kenyan BC, etc?

Good....you can prove that with the real, actual Hawaii Birth Certificate...which Obama has fought so hard to release...then released the fraudulent ones...

[Slyfox]

I didn't say where he was or wasn't born. I said that there is evidence that UNKNOWN was typed in the space where the name of the father should have been. So, if he was born in Hawaii or Kenya is not what Obama is trying to hide. When UNKNOWN is on his original birth certificate, it means that Barack Obama Sr., the goat herder from Kenya, is probably not his father and knowledge of this would ruin his his finely crafted rouse to make blacks think he is one of them.

BO was raised in Hawaii by his white grandparents, in relative privilege and he had no connection that would make him a sympathetic figure among blacks. However, if he was known to have goat herding blood, well that is something that would make other blacks somehow sympathize with his "plight."

The SCANDAL is multi-dimensional. It is not just his grades or what is written on his college transcripts, but his radical friends, even the reasons why he took two trips to Kenya.

This man is just one, great, big lie that never stops.

Your answers are the best I’ve heard about this in all the years since it began.

[grundle]

Thanks for that info and those links. It is interesting that all those times that his bio was updated, they still kept the part that said he was “born in Kenya.”

[grundle]

I think you’re right about his college records.
