Even Obama Was a "Birther"

Four words: Liar, Liar, pants on fire! ( I lied about it being 4 words.)

Well isn’t this just dandy?

“Why was Obama a birther before he decided to run for president?”

That’s like asking “When did Big Guy lie, and how did he know he was lying?” So for the zillionth time: that disinformation about Kenya being the birthplace of Barack Barry Obama was a “fact checking” error – you know, as in “I didn’t think anyone would ever bother to check the facts.”

When Big Guy, known as Barry back then, filled out his first college application he thought they were asking where his father was born so naturally he inserted “Kenya.” And apparently this one innocent little fact checking error continued to dog him all the way from Occidental College to Columbia to Harvard and right on into the book bio (which was not an auto-bio) and the AP reports on his Senate run in 2004. And if there were any advantages to being an African-born African-American with respect to special treatment programs in place at the time, well, that would just be a coincidence. A happy coincidence, butt a coincidence none-the-less.

As a former insurance investigator, I've often wondered about the investigative skills of the birthers. (I'm agnostic.) I remember back in 1998-2003 Obama was high profile in Chicago and so obviously being promoted by the IL Dems for higher office. He was presented as the reasonable, intelligent Black Democrat on conservative Tom Roeser's R vs D talk radio program. And WGN, WBBM, and others; and print media. His biography of foreign and domestic experiences was related on those programs. The Grudge/Breitbart generation seems to think nothing happened unless it happened on the internet. They can't find old stories unless it is archived on the internet.

Why don’t you email them the information you have. They ask for tips on their website.

Say Bob, I wonder if any tapes of those shows of Roesers, et al, are still around. It would be great to contrast any past statements with present performance.
