(Oct. 14, 2009) What most people know is that the Associated Press (AP) is one of the largest, internationally recognized, syndicated news services. What most people dont know that is in 2004, the AP was a birther news organization.
How so? Because in a syndicated report, published Sunday, June 27, 2004, by the Kenyan Standard Times, and which was, as of this report, available at
http://web.archive.org/web/20040627142700/eastandard.net/headlines/news26060403.htm
The AP reporter stated the following:
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a natural born citizen, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency, self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office. Seeing that an AP reporter is too professional to submit a story which was not based on confirmed sources (ostensibly the Obama campaign in this case), the inference seems inescapable: Obama himself was putting out in 2004, that he was born in Kenya.
The difficulty in finding this gem of a story is hampered by Google, which is running flak for Obama: because if you search for Kenyan-born US Senate you wont find it, but if you search for the phrase without quotes you will find links which talk about it.

biSo why wasn’t Hillery Clinton on this like a bat from hell during the campaign?
In my opinion Hillary wasn't in it to win yet more in it to gain revenue off of the media frenzy. Obama was positioned to win all along, but as long as it was a close race (or the appearanc maintained) the alphabet channels stood to gain monetarily, thus the fawning media coverage for Obama and the Democratic Party. Hillary sits exactly where she wants to sit. Under the radar as Sec of State while the puppet President poses as America's First Black Insurance Salesman while foisting health care reform on the American people.

From the article:
3. In October of 2004, during the ABC Chicago Affiliates broadcast of the Obama-Keyes debates, Obama openly admitted he conceded that he was not a natural born citizen. (C-Span aired the uncut version of the debates, which contained this exchange, in the second half of April, 2005)
So where's the tape? - Not what they say he said, but he himself saying it ON TAPE. Poof? Gone? Erased? Scrubbed? In David Axelrod's vault?

Yes, I saw a video where keyes on camera says he just doesn’t remember. Might have happened, but he has no memory of it.

Isn’t the AP mentioned here the African Press not the Associated Press? African Press played with the BC issue and some tape of supposedly Michelle.

Is that a personal comment or is it something that can be sourced?
That comment has been denied by the keyes camp here on FR. I can’t give you a link.

AGREE, we have what our Founders feared. The powers that be, as crooked as they be, don’t want to touch this. They’d rather watch in their well funded comfort while their gift ship goes down. And what the hell is the deal with SCOTUS doing nothing - you’d think they were running the military operation in Afghanistan.
Hope to feel better later as the family celebrates what may be one of last free Thanksgivings.

Yes, what is Alan Keyes? A potted plant? That man is pretty quick on his feet. I’m pretty sure he’d remember that exchange and even have his own tape of the event.

"Has anyone just come out and asked Alan Keyes?" Yes, his campaign manager 'Eternal Vigilance'(also a freeper) reports that Alen, unfortunately, "doesn't remember" any such exchange with Obama.

Here’s a nugget from those transcripts of the debate:
OBAMA: I think it is an enormous problem. This has been the most fiscally-irresponsible administration in certainly my memory.
(referring to the Bush administration, of course!) What a darned hypocrite obozo is.

Obama can be a smooth talker when he’s got his material memorized.
