Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream media miss this?
More important is why they still haven't reported it yet?

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.

A few weeks ago, I was doing a search on someone I once knew.
Basically, just trying to find out if they had been somewhere during a certain time period.
Lo and behold, up popped the passport records for 1951-1959 showing the entire family had taken a vacation trip to Hawai’i. You needed a passport, back then, to visit the islands.
BTW, I keep meaning to tell you that you are doing wonderful work.
But what if He gets re elected?
Perhaps our president and this law student are two different people with same name.
Up on Drudge now:
“REPORT: Obama still ‘Kenyan-born’ in 2003...Literary references show description in promotion of ‘Dreams’ book... Developing... “
Maybe that’s what the Mass senate race is all about. Eventually Scott Brown and the rest of the GOP will say she made a simple mistake, for her entire life, and it’s all forgivable. Then obama admits he made a simple mistake and all is forgiven. Thank you, GOP, for allowing this to happen. You My Party!
Thank you.
I wonder if that was because HI was not a US state yet then.
In what context were you able to see the passport records? What website had that?
Do you have a link about that? I seem to have overlooked that story.
Please send any item you find stating BO was born in Kenya to the tip tab at Breitbart.com. They will need the ammunition to show that this is a pattern that he did NOT correct and not an editorial error.
IS HE LYING NOW OR WAS HE LYING THEN?
I didn’t bookmark it and don’t recall. I do think it is part of some genealogy site and it may have been thru genealogy.com.
I googled a name within a family and this hit was on the first page. I was able to ascertain I had the correct person because of the names of all the family members that were included, parents and children. They were listed one after the other.
If I run across it again, I’ll FReepmail you. But look through genealogy.com. They link to many different databases, including Federal ones.
Yes, I believe the trip (I wasn’t able to find out the exact date, just the 8-year range)required passports prior to 1959 or 1960. Not sure how long after Statehood it took back then to change the procedure.
Sorry.
See post fifty. (There are MANY articles that people have saved stating he was born in Kenya. Found two myself before we realized someone was scrubbing them.)
Andrew Breitbart left us knowing more than he had time to disclose to us.
What did he know that we need to re-discover, document and publish?
Why are ALL of Obama’s important early documents forged?
Where was Obama during his “Lost Years?”
Why are there so few known Obama childhood friends?
How many of Obama’s childhood buddies are still alive?
Was Obama a FOREIGN student at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard?
Who wrote the checks for Obama’s education?
Where these question that Andrew Beitbart knew some of the answers to?

To tie the above with some speculative food for thought, please indulge me, (but DO ponder the speculations), as I re-post one of my recently updated comments as follows:
A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.
Currently, at least 40 % of polled American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his arrogant dictatorship.
About 47 % of American voters pay NO Personal Federal Income Taxes. These voters are the “fair share” voter base for Dictator Obama. We, in the 53 %, then are paying this 47 % to vote for Obama by virtue of us paying taxes for ourselves AND them.
In this manner we are supporting the voters who vote for Obama, and they will vote to do so again in November.
Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is to be re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).
The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he has already achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.
Obama’s obvious arrogant and deep hatred of America could have only come from what he was taught in his childhood.
Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.
The lack of credible documents that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.
Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the Interpol, CIA and the FBI.
Will “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy the latter two US tax-funded spy entities?
BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.
BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculations: what does your gut tell you?

The questions we ask
Are simple to say,
One wonders why they
Were not asked,
Back in the Day?
Meanwhile, the drumbeat of Dictator, (in his own mind), Obama grows louder:
regulate —— control —— destroy —— Regulate —— control —— destroy —— REgulate —— control —— destroy —— REGulate —— control —— destroy —— REGU
Even if he was born in Hawaii, Obama is the type who would use “Kenyan-born” as a bit of exotica to spice up his resume and extort affirmative action-style preferences and privileges from corrupt university administrators. Later, realizing that using this tactic might destroy his Presidential aspirations, he tried to have all references scrubbed. But even if he is legit, what kind of American would wield “Kenyan-born” as a badge of honor? That alone should have cost him the nomination, regardless of his birthplace.

Save this before its scrubbed!
1991 is far enough back (I hope) that they would not have had a reason to fudge/mess with it.
I think that pamphlet is the real deal.
O is the liar-in-chief
Sean Hannity reported it on his talk radio show as early as Thursday afternoon, then tried do a dance around it to maintain he was not a "birther." That included his claim that Obama's hidden college records were more important than his missing birth certificate.
Memo to Hannity: The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. If Obama was born abroad to a non-citizen father and a citizen mother, he is legally disqualified from holding the presidency. On the other hand, his college grades and papers, no matter how problematic, do not in themselves legally bar him from that office.
Why is his name spelled “Barrack”? Another alias?
