Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream media miss this? By Tim Stanley US politics Last updated: May 18th, 2012 16 Comments Comment on this article

Conservatives claim that Obama manipulated his Kenyan roots to gain attention Whatever you think of Breitbart.com’s punishing vetting process, it has exposed just how little work the mainstream media did in investigating candidate Obama back in 2008. Not all of Team Breitbart’s revelations have been election-deciders, but they have often been stuff that a simple Google would have uncovered. If they revealed tomorrow that he’d had his own cross-dressing-themed sitcom on primetime TV in the 1980s, I wouldn’t be surprised. The latest find is a fascinating inversion of the birther conspiracy. Breitbart.com has discovered that in 1991 Barack Obama’s literary agent (who also represented New Kids on the Block) published a booklet that included a biography of the future President. The audience was “business colleagues” in the publishing industry and it was designed to promote Obama’s anticipated first book (later abandoned) called Journeys in Black and White. Here’s how it describes the author’s origins. Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation.

ACtually, I do doubt that.

I think we aren’t allowed to see it because he DIDN’T commit fraud when he claimed to be born in Kenya and a citizen of Indonesia.

The HDOH altered their 1960-64 birth index to include legally non-valid records, and though the index included both Virginia Sunahara and Barack Obama, the database itself did not have Virginia’s name when it was queried for me. Her record was obviously still in the system, but it was not under her name. Whose name do you think they switched it to to? In order to get both Barack Obama and Virginia Sunahara in the same index listing they had to alter the listing to include legally non-valid names...

NARA is missing the records for people entering the US from outside the country.... only the week that Obama was allegedly born in Hawaii.

Obama’s draft registration is the only one from that particular post office at that particular time which lacks the first 2 digits of the 4-digit year stamp. The SSA altered their disposition requirement right after Sheriff Joe’s investigation of Obama’s BC and draft registration was reported - so the original records are now able to be destroyed.

The earliest passport application(s?) for Obama’s mother are missing - and so is the required paper trail for the supposed change in disposition and destruction of records - even though other supposedly-destroyed records WEREN’T destroyed and have in fact been disclosed.

The index cards which would tell what all passports were issued to Obama’s mother are required to be kept permanently and are discloseable to the public since she is deceased.... but the Passport Office won’t release them.

There is way, way more that could be said, but this is a start.

I have copies of those documents, but I do not have a way to post them.

Notice how they changed the wording to eliminate the phrase that they were certified to be eligible.

Isn’t that a crime?

Like the rule of law matters anymore.

A simple solution to this problem:

check the rest of the bios for errors. if bammy’s is the only “alledged” one then one of two explainations applies:

1) it’s true and he was born in kenya

2) it’s false and she made it up and he knowingly went along with it

if 2 applies, then they both are liars and you should never do any business with this woman...ever.

Quoting Captain Renault from the movie Casablanca: “I’m Shocked!”. “Obama” has become just another pejorative verb. Just like the phrase “Hope & Change”. Pathetic, you can’t wake up the physically dead.

That makes so much sense...integrity obviously was not a feature of the current resident of Pennsylvania Ave.

OK lets get it straight now we are to believe that Obama, his Mama, his Daddy, his granny and gramps, his sister etc, never read this biography? Never read it, come on seriously.... in 1991 young Mr. Obama probably had this article embossed and placed in a scrap book. Obama knew what they wrote and neither he nor his family ever once tried to correct the record.

The real question is WHY?

“Nothing was missed. They did their job and covered-up for their candidate and dismissed the Constitution.”

It didn’t fit the Pre-Approved Democrat/Gay Media narrative in 2008.
The Narrative was that Obama was the BLACK JFK, and would be the ‘Smartest President, EVAH!’.

Remember how ANYONE who dared question Obama, including even Hillary and Bill Clinton, were immediately branded as racists by the formerly Clinton-adoring mainstream media for daring to question Obama’s credentials?

“How did Pelosi, Reed, McCain and the GOP congresscritters miss this?”

We KNOW Obama’s eligibility documents for the 2008 Indiana Primary were forged. People are currently under indictment for that.

WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN FORGED?

“The agent now says it was her mistake and Obama never told her that.”

And at the time- Obama never said that it was not right and to fix it. I don’t think so.

Obama’s wikipedia biography said that he was born at Queen’s Hospital in Honolulu. It took several years for that “error” to be corrected. A story in the Honolulu Advertiser about Tammy Duckworth said Obama was born in Indonesia. This error wasn’t “corrected” for a long time. There’s a long list of errors in the official bio that have never been corrected.

Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream media miss this?

How did Obama miss this? Doesn't he read articles that he pays to be written about himself?

I sure would like to see Obama's college admission paperwork.

Possibly, Barack never personally bothered. He was the quintessentially handled puppet from the word go.

probably just another ‘misidentification’ of his birth place.
