"I recall reading that during the Alan Keyes/Barack Obama debate for the US Senate seat from Illinois, Keyes pointed out Barack was from "Kenya." To Which Barry replied (and I paraphrase till I find the actual transcript) "That doesn't matter, I'm Not running for President, I'm running for the US Senate! " "

Any one have that on video or audio or a contemporary transcript?

I believe there is. I think I used to have a link to it. (I'll see if I can find it again.)

Nope. And you'll never see one.

Why?

Well some people will tell you that it's because Obama scrubbed that out of existence, even going so far as to hack into private computers to remove it, and has intimidated Keyes into silence. And replaced the videos and transcripts with ones that do not show him ever saying that.

Or you can understand that it never actually happened and that is why Keyes, the video and the transcripts do not support that claim.

This may be where I saw that bit of information. There are also people on the internet claiming that the story is false, so at this point I will put it in the ambiguous category.
