Less than one year before the publisher's brochure, articles appeared nationwide stating that Obama was born in Hawaii. The Los Angeles Times wrote a very long article on him in which they had extensive quotes. That article stated Obama was born in Hawaii.
For goodness sakes, the very book that the publisher was going to publish stated that Obama was born in Hawaii. Why on earth would a blurb publicizing Obama's book purposely state something contrary to what's in the book???
The State of Hawaii adamantly and consistently maintains that Obama was born in Hawaii.
And I'll take our Congress over Kenya's Parliament any day. Our Congress passed a resolution, in 2009, declaring Hawaii to be Obama's birthplace.
So your evidence is a brochure which was not fact-checked and a foreign legislative body. And I'm blinded?
You are not well informed. The book was never published. In fact, it was never written. So how cd it state Obama was born in HI, if it was never written or published?
You are wrong about the fact checking too. The agency assistant did NOT say she failed to fact check the FACT of Obama’s Kenyan birth. She said she fact checked it & it checked out. Reread the assistant’s statement. Someone kindly posted it upthread. Show me where she says she did NOT fact check the item. In point of fact, the statement says just the opposite.
As for the Kenyan Parliament, where on earth wd they get such an idea (i.e.: that Obama was born there)? Name one other POTUS claimed by an entire foreign parliament [subsequent to the grandfathering stage] to have been born there. Just one. It wd be on the order of the entire Canadian Parliament acknowledging that Cruz was born there.
Now why wd they do that???
The literary agency run by ConstantSkeptic:
Agent: Mr. Obama. your six figure advance is ready. All we need at this point is your birth location, for tax purposes.
Obama: I was born in HI, but I’ve been thinking we should lie for the trade publication, & claim I was born in Kenya.
Agent: Not sure that’s a good idea. We have our reputation to consider. Lying to our fellow literary agents & the publishers we do business w is not good policy.
Obama: No sweat. If anybody asks questions, you can call it a fact checking error.
Agent: You think we should advertise to the literary world that we’re too incompetent even to correctly note where one of our clients was born? That info is typically not hard to come by; we’ve never ‘confused’ even the country of birth of one of our clients before, much less the entire continent.
Obama: Kenya, HI—which is in Asia, btw—Timbuktu—I’m telling you it’s no big deal. But think of the marketing potential: Mixed race kid from HI becomes President of Harvard Law Review. Yawn. Mixed race kid from Kenya becomes President of Harvard Law Review—boom!
Agent: Think of the fallout. Lit agency lies about continent of author’s birth to boost sales, raising questions: what else have they lied about?
Obama: Oh you i-dotter t-crosser types—all you do is worry. Me, I’m planning to choom the entire six figure advance away without writing a single page of this BS ‘Journeys in Black and White’ twaddle. Get back to me two or three decades from now, & we’ll see who’s having more fun.
Agent: Oh what the hell; who needs a reputation anyway? Let’s flush ours down the toilet w a big fat lie, & claim you were born in Kenya. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained...right?
Obama: Left, actually; hard left, but whatever.
