Why don’t you respond to any of my questions/points!? Where is the FR link?
A lot of different writers are “AP” writers. This could easily have been an AP writer but the story was only meant for Kenyan consumption - that happens a lot.
Of course AP isn’t going to own up to the story either way, duh.
It doesn’t really matter. Whoever wrote the story was under the full conviction that this guy’s a Kenyan, fully FIVE years ago. That adds something to the debate.
By November, 2004, this same paper had already dropped the "born in Kenya" angle (most likely because they realized they were in error unless one is a birther in which case this is all part of the Great Conspiracy).
...It is not clear what Obama’s foreign policy agenda as a senator will be, particularly whether he will push for more American involvement in Africa, especially Kenya, his father’s home...
No mention Obama was born in Kenya. Only his father. Did they somehow forget to include this?
The old FR links were to a series of African Press pieces respecting Michelle Obama dropping a similar bombshell now that I think of it.
When the Associated press does a piece, IIRC it says so at the top, not the bottom of the piece. Check and see. Ditto with Reuters, etc.
This AP is at the bottom of tha article. Assuming this is a legitimate article from the Sunday Standard in Nairobi which somehow was not archived with the rest of that edition, I think AP may be the initials of the author.
Well, now that I read the front page of the archived piece I do see the Obama article which I’d earlier missed.
It does seem the Sundary Standard published that but I stick to my belief that 9a) AP at the end is not Associated Press and (b) the article is not evidence of anything.
