Where would a publicist ever come to think he was born in Kenya? And even if some publicist DID do this, does anyone really think that Obama wasn't given a review copy of whatever release and/or promotional material that might be used on his behalf?

Excellent and logical point. Obama most certainly received a copy of this brief bio before it was printed in the literary agents promotion brochure ... that's standard practice.

Sounds like we’ve got “Buckhead the Sequel” on our hands.

Most of the time the bio for a literary agent is generated by the author him/herself. The excuse is complete bulls*it. Most of the time the info is pulled from initial query/submission that the author purposefully submitted to the agent.

There is also the fact that Bill Ayers was probably the guy who connected all this and it is HE that wrote this bio.

Excellent and logical point.

Therefore completely out of place on this thread.
