“Why would Obama tell his own literary agent he was born in Kenya?”
__
What’s your evidence that he did that? Do you have anything beyond speculation?
If the literary agency needed to know where Obama was born—and they did—how wd they ascertain that? Obviously they’d ask Obama.
What method do you think they employed? A Private Investigator?
So, where did the literary agent get the information? Lemme guess, the guy down at the coffee shop told the newspaper boy who told the bum in the alley who mumbled it to the lady walking her dog who told her cousin who told the dry cleaners who told the literary agent and the literary agent ran it back past the coffee shop guy who in turn approved and signed off on the write up and somehow after all these decades, the author never once saw it so couldn’t possibly have known to have it corrected.
