However, the Associated Press made no such reference; the identification of Barack Obama as "Kenyan-born" was added to the Sunday Standard's version of the AP story by someone else (who misspelled the politician's given name as "Barrack" in the process) and is apparently unique to that publication. The full text of the "Jack Ryan Abandons Senate Bid" article as originally issued by the Associated Press is retrievable from the LexisNexis archive of global news sources, and it contains no reference (in the lead-in or elsewhere) to Barack Obama's being "Kenyan-born":

Snopes calling the story false demonstrates their bias. It should be “mixed.” The news article was real; The “Kenyan-born” part simply was added by the local paper, rather than being in the AP original.

Well... of course, liberal Snopes would never cover for 0, and the AP would never sanitize one of their 100% accurate articles. /s

Perhaps it’s true, perhaps not, but according to my memory and a Canadian Free Press article, there were other articles during that time mentioning “Kenyan born”. Heck, even MO said Kenya is his home country.

But at this point, I just want to know if some relevant info is hidden in the BC, whether he’s from this country or not.

Punch keyword “kenyanborn” for other stories that were out there prior to 2008 stating obama foreign born. Most have since been scrubbed.

This very KENYAN BORN OBAMA article archive has been proven on here to be real (HTML checked) and archived.

Snopes,factcheck.org is fightthesmears/com.Left wing funded and handled.

Snopes is just as reliable as an official White House press release, thank you very much.
