So, if a “literary agent,” was writing something up about me, he or she might enter that I was Swedish and then go back and “fact check” it later? Instead of saying, “Where are you from?” And this “literary agent” just happened to put down Kenya as the country to “fact check” at a later time.

Nope! It doesn’t pass the smell test.

I guess Obama’s paternal grandma who said she saw him born in Kenya, must also be a mere fact checking error, too.

Paging Pelosi and Germond...
It’s time for your fitting for the orange jumpsuits.

snip-
“The “Official Certification of Nomination” that was presented by the DNC in all fifty states for the 2008 Presidential election, in which Barack Hussein Obama became the new President of the United States, was almost identical, and it too was singed by Chair of the DNC Convention and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, DNC Secretary Alice Travis Germond and Notary of Public Shalifa A. Williamson, dated August 28, 2008.”

Did they immediately post a retraction, recall all outstanding copies, and publish a corrected copy?

If not, doing so a couple of decades later is pure Bravo Sierra!!

Hey, he wants to live. Completely understandable.

Complete BS.

Fact-checking is, by definition, reactive. A fact-checking error can only mean that information was given and it was not fact-checked. If that is the case, the editor had to be given Kenya as the birthplace and it was not discredited by research.

Obviously, “Birthers” time traveled back to 1991 and planted this promotional booklet because they somehow knew Obama would some day be President.

So, when Ted Kennedy made a Big Deal about the "16 words" in Bush's SOTU address about Saddam and yellowcake, saying on the floor of the Senate that Bush told "lie after lie after lie," was that just a fact-checking error?

In response to the agent’s claim:

“...[A] fact-checker does not make up text. A fact checker receives a text written by someone else, and then determines whether the factual assertions are based on the verifiable truth.

So the question remains: who submitted the text that was insufficiently fact-checked by Ms. Goderich? Who, in other words, first offered the assertion that Barack Obama was born in Kenya?”

BULLSTALIN

Someone had to mention Kenya since the guy reportedly NEVER lived there.

Somebody is lying and it would appear to be the fink in chief who told black voters that the Selma march brought his parents together.

ABC News sat on the story until there was "plausible deniability" from the publicist.

Obama wasn't vetted is a lying jive turkey.

The question remains, did he fraudulently seek loans or acceptance at schools as a "foreign student"?

At the time of this posting, ABC News is the only mainstream U.S. media site even mentioning this new wrinkle in Obama’s paper trail.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/born-kenya-obamas-literary-agent-misidentified-birthplace-1991/story?id=16372566#.T7arlOWDFQN

Mark Steyn had an editorial just go online at the OC Register:
http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/obama-354827-ever-white.html

Salon, Media Matters, and Politico have weighed in.

Atlantic Wire (Atlantic Monthly’s blog) has a snarky attack on birtherism in their headline.

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/05/breitbarts-editors-hey-were-not-birthers-maybe-you-should-be/52488/

Everything is either a blog or UK press.

No one ever wants to address the FACTS that this man is a FRAUD.

Joe Biden got drummed out of the 1988 president campaign because he was caught plagiarizing quotes.

IF this is a simple fact check error, where is the corrected version?

Obama was okay with this erroneous bio being circulated?

A publicist who cannot get basic facts right would be out of work.

Obama was born in Hawaii.

Obama was always born in Hawaii.

WOW... I wish when the CIA told BushII about the nuke labs in Iraq that the Democrates would have called it “fact checking error...”

You know a lying cop out of liberals from miles away...

A liberal is never wrong, even when his head is up his arse.
