Obama’s Lit Agency Used 'Born in Kenya' Bio Until 2007 [New article - not a duplicate]
breitbart.com ^ | May 17, 2012 | Ben Shapiro

According to archive.org, a website that caches websites on a regular basis, the Dystel.com website – the official website for Dystel & Goderich, Obama’s literary agents – was using the Barack Obama “born in Kenya” language until April 2007, just two months after then-Senator Obama declared his campaign for the presidency.

Archive.org shows that the Dystel website used the following biography for Obama as of April 3, 2007:

"BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller."

Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007.

By April 21, 2007, the Obama bio had been changed to state that Obama was born in Hawaii:

"BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Hawaii to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller."

Obama had already been a national figure for three years, since the Democratic National Convention in 2004, by the time the biography was changed; he had been a sitting Senator for over two years.

Yup. And this is the important point. An argument could be made that a mistake was made on the 1991 flyer. But to carry a “mistake” on for 16 more years seems just a leeeetle bit unlikely.

“He was born in Hawaii to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago.”

Do they also get to walk this back?

This original story had his true Kenyan birth noted, until they made a “correction”.

The agent is spouting BS. The same bio was carried on Dystel’s website for 16 years. What, nobody noticed?

The coverup continues.There is just too much peripheral evidence: his own family members admitting he was born in Kenya, one family member saying she was present at his birth in Kenya, Michelle’s slip of the tongue admitting he was born in Kenya, Obama’s slip of the tongue while being interview by George Stephenapolous, and on and on. It gets to the point when there are just too many holes in the dike to plug. Obama is nearing the end of his political career, at least in this country.

The POS is such a mongrel bastard I doubt if even he knows how many twists and turns his life has in in.

I do know one thing, he is so crooked they will have to screw the SOB into the ground to bury him.
