Here is the original text of the article noticed by "blam", a poster of Free Republic: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1714603/posts

A black senator with only two years in office has emerged as the outstanding star of the Democrats' campaign for next month's mid-term elections.

Senator Barack Obama is bringing hope to Democrats

Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party's presidential nomination.

Here is the "New and edited" version that has remove the reference to Barry O. being "Kenyan Born": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1530762/The-black-senator-who-could-challenge-Hillary.html A black senator with only two years in office has emerged as the outstanding star of the Democrats' campaign for next month's mid-term elections. Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party's presidential nomination. As you can see above there is no reference to "Kenyan Born". Also, there is a discrepency in the underlying script and it looks like it was altered in 2008-04-10. Read the posts in the FR link. Funny in hindsight.

For your peeps. There is a difference in posts of blam, who posted this in 2006. Tanker post is the same but when you go to the news site the term “Kenyan Born” has been excised.

It appears from the script it was republished in 2008. Maybe someone who reads script more than me can confirm. I do web hosting but I is the seller. I gots technical people who do this stuff but, this is not their job.

"Kenyan-born Barack Obama, 45, is already being touted as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the party's presidential nomination.

Another scenario sees him as Mrs Clinton's running mate, raising the possibility of a first female president and first black vice-president in one fell swoop in 2008.
