I don’t know who you’re talking about. I’m guessing the author of the bio.
I also guess Obama wouldn’t write his own bio to submit to such material, so the author had to rely on other sources? Unusual, to say the least.
If confusion of BHO and BHO II was the issue, then BHO II would have been described as a former Kenyan finance minister, since Sr. was mentioned in the bio as such.
According to the pamphlet, the editor was Miriam Goderich. Once Breitbart published their story about it, she released a statement.
“You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time. There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more.”
